much compulsion and consideration the Ar
kansas delegation had determined unanimous
ly TO cast its votes for Gov. Cleveland. of New
10 York; LApplause.l As to the objection that
Mr.. Cleveland had enemies at home the re-
ply was that no man could with fidelity to
principle administer the Office OF Governor of
New York without making enemies at home.
II they found man without enemies they
would find man who had not that elevation
great party.
When the State Of Wisconsin was called it
was announced that the majority Of that dele
CATION had voted to support the nomination of
Coy. Cleveland, and had assigned its Chair
man, Gen, Bragg, to second the nomination,
which he did, declaring that they loved him
most for the enemies he had made. En-
thusiastic applause.
GRADY TACKLES CYCLONE.
In the midst of the applause Mr.. Grady, of
New Y ork, arose in front of the Chairman's
desk and interrupted the speaker, as follows:
Mr.. Chairman-On behalf OF his enemies
l reciprocate that sentiment, and we are
proud of it. Loud Kisses and great confu-
sion, in the midst of which Mr.. Grady retired
to his seat.
GRADY LAID OUT.
Gen. Bragg-I thank the emissary that rep
resents respectable name at least for calling
himself again to my attention. Loud ap-
plause. This broad nation witnessed
the disgraceful spectacle of a Senator of the
United states trading his proud possession for
gain. Applause. Malone and Riddleberger
would scarcely be allowed to stand up on this
platform to teach you gentlemen Democracy
and whom you ought to nominate. Loud
applause. 60 to the Senate Of the State of
New York since Gov. Cleveland has been Gov
ernor applausel, and there you find two
worthy cOnferees playing in a small theatre.
Manone ana Rlddleberrger over again loud
applausel, and why? Because the Governor
of the State of New York had more nerve
than the machine. Applause They may
speak OF him, aye the worst Of speeches

disgrace themselves. Loud applause.1
Wherever their thin disguise can be reached
you Will find it covering nothing but personal
grievance, disappointed ambition. as cutting
OF of access to flesh pots to those who desire to
tatten upon them. Loud and long continued
applause.l
THE LABOR TRICKsTERs.
do not assume here to speak for labor.
The child of man who always earned his
daily bread by his daily labor brought up for
mere than quarter of a century from boy
hood to manhood among the laborers that
have made the great Northwest what it is,
do not assume to speak for labor. Labor is
not represe nted in political conventions by
the soft hand of the political trickster No
matter where you find him Tapplausel the men
who follow conventions and talk about
the rights of labor are the Swiss con-
tingent who place their tent wherever
the prospect of profit is greatest loud ap-
plause and cries of "Bully for you!'l /, while the
honest, intelligent, horny handed laborer will
be found following the old Democratic flag
and thanking God that its self-styled leaders
have gone where they belong. They come
here to talk of labor! Yes, their labor has
been upon the crank of the "machine" Tim-
mense applause and laughter, , aud their study
has been political chcanery in midnight con-
clave. We are told that the Democratic party
is suffering from fearful political disorders by
these men.
''sOAP" AS BALM FOR TAAIMANY.
If we are to Judge from past experience
these disorders in the quarters where they
are alleged to exist can only be cured by a re-
application of Federal ''soap." Laughter.
/ have heard it said that the States Of the
Northwest ought to have no voice IN this
nomination. have heard it said what boots
it what their opinion may be. What was it
that placed the great States of the Northwest
in the Republican column? 1t was because
they followed blindly, implicitly the old
leaders, and they led the party of the Union
to defeat, and they. placed our
thousands of Republican majorities.
We have fought our way steadily upward.
we see through the water, which has been so
deep above our heads. now the glimmering
again Of the sunlight and we ask to breathe
once more the air of victory. Our young men
ask it, the religious sentiment of our country
asks it, the intelligence of our people asks it,
our German foreign born citizens applause
say we come to you with Cleveland. The old
guard will fight steadily and go down to death,
shouting gloriously as they fall under the
lead of the chivalric Bayard.
NEW LIFE WANTED.
They will follow steadily and unfinchingly
that sturdy old Democrat from Indiana but
with the same result. They fear that they
will rally around that glorious old Senator
from Ohio applausel, and they will accept
lucky, but they want some new life. They
have followed the old leaders to death. They.
ask somebody to lead them to victory. APP
plause. Pardon me for saying that there
was time when 2:40 steeds stood first upon
the list, but in these days something that has
made 2;4O ought toe be retired as stale,
or it is of no account against 2:lO14.
Applause Let our old war horses be re-
tired with honor. Let the records of their
achievements be recorded and pointed at
with pride and pleasure, but our people say
give us new life, give us new blood, give us
something that has come to manhood and
position since the war, that we may hear no
more about what took place "before and
what would seem to be indications of victory,
but we cannot accomplish victory without re-
cruits.
RECRUITS AT HAND.
Those recruits are at our bidding-young,
middle-aged and old. You see them lap
plausel IN platoons and regiments, brigades
and divisions. Applause ana calls of "order"
from the Chair Every one of them bears
upon its banner Cleveland, of New York.
Applause and loud yells from the galleries.
Let The countersign Of the great Democratie
camp in November be "Cleveland," and then
men can make their way to it [applause], and
recruited as we shall be our ides of November
will not be Waterloo, but will be the glOri-
GUS sun of Austerlitz.
Henry o. Kent, Of New Hampshire. also
seconded the nomination of Cleveland. He
said that New Hampshire was to-day one of
the doubtful States the Democrats being
only in minority Of 500, and he believed
that, with the right candidate, the State
record Of mes G. Blaine boded no good to
the republic should he be made President
Senator Doolittle also seconded the nomi
nation OF ClevelanG, declaring his belief that
with that candidate the Democrats would
carry the vote of Wisconsin, and that he
would, more surely than any other candidate,
carry the electoral vote Of New York.
THE ROLL COMPLETED.
The call of the States being completed, the
Chair said that in his opinion the Territories
were entitled to be called, and the list of can
didates would not be ready before this was
done. However. Connecticut asserted her
right to be heard, and Gov. Waller said that
the Connecticut delegation had come here
with no candidate of their own and with OPP
position to nOne-nOt even Iammay. Laugh
teri They had Joined in the cheers and ap-
plause, and had enjoyed the scenes pre-
sented in this magnificent convention.
They had listened to the unfortunate contrO-
versy in New York. They hadhOped that the
chasm between the two factions would have
been filled up as it would be very soon. So
far as the Connecticut delegation was con-
cerned they were ready to give in their ver-
dict. They might make a mistake Fall
bility was common to all, but they would now
sefond the nomination of Grover Cleveland.
Loud eheersl.
The names of the candidates were then an
nounced as follows, each name being greeted
with cheers, but by far the greatest demon
stratloa being for Cleveland: Thomas f.
Bayard of Delaware, Joseph f. Mcdonald of
Indiana, John G.. Carlisle OF Kentucky, Gro
yer Cleveland of New York, Allan G.. Thur
man of Ohio, Samuel j. Randall of Pennsyl-
vania, and George Hoadly of Ohio.
Mr.. Snowden, Of Pennsylvania, offered a
resolution that the Committee on Platform
be instructed sstO report this evening at S
O'Clock, to which time the convention now ad-
iourns." The resolution was agreed to and
the convention, at rs O'Clock this afternoon,
adjourned till O'Clock tonight.
