The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1888-07-03

ians sent up q hearty cheer. The other dele
cations then realized their position and joined
in the applause. 1t couldn't be termed en-
thusasm; IL was short and mild and ii was
evident to tho vast audience that 1t was forced
The faces OF tho Ohioans and Michiganders
betrayed their feelings. They were not only
disappointed because their favortes had failed,
but because they knew only too well that the
convention had selected n man who stood
NO CHANCE WHATEVER or ELECTION
when ptted against such a pair as Cleveland
and the old Roman. s3Ihe surprise OF these two
delegations was so great that they even forgot
to rise from their chairs and join in the forced
yell of enthusiasm. Their action in not rising
was noticeable to every one, and even
Foraker's speech secOnding the motion to
make the nomination unanimous did not
obliterate that fact from the minds of those
present.
However, all had to accept 1t, and faces bear
ing evidence Of forced pleasure are TO be seen
everywhere tonight. They are now deter
mined TO make the best of bad bargain, and
will use every effort to push the heavy load the
party has placed inl front of itself to victory.
But they had just rs well combine with the
democratic party to make Clevelnnd's election
unanimous, tor It is utterly impossible for the
republican party 10 elect a man who has voted
a dozen times or more in favor of
UNRESTRICTED CHINESE IMMIGRATION.
California, Oregon and Nevada will cast
their electoral votes for Grover Cleveland and
Allen G.. Thurman beyond question of doubt,
and II is hardly reasonable to suppose that the
workngmcn Of New York, New JERSEY and
Connecticut can vote for n man whose record
Is SO unclean upon the Chinese question rs
that of Harrison His speech, in which he
said if the United States was going to restrict
Chinese immigration, they ought to restrict
the Irish, has already driven another nail in
his political coffin. and it is the opinion of
many that have expressed themselves today,
that even the republican leaders and poll
ticians have not much hopes of success after
the mistake they made today, Notwithstanding
the very confident speeches made i'll Secondiug
the motion to make tho nomination unani-
nous,
The nomination Of Levi p. Morton for the
vice-presidency, is not TO be compared r0 that
OF Harrison for the presidency. While there
was practically no enthusiasm, whatever, for
Harrison, the
CHEERS AND APPLAUSE FOR MORTON
were simply wild. Hardly had Warner Miller
taken the stand TO nominate him before the
enthusiasm of the entire audience was aroused
and before he completed almost the entire
audience arose 10 their feet and cheered wildly
for some minutes When the vote was am
nounced, il having been almost unanimous it
was greeted with another cheer and il was
evident the delegates believed they had not
made another mistake in their choice for the
Vice-presidercy. They knew only too well
that the nomination OF Morton was the only
chance they had of even partially retrieving
the great mistake made in tho nomination OF
the strongest man ON the ticket, but il is evil
dent 10 every one that the head OF II ticket
will carry more than the tail OF another in any
state.
TIF pEMocRACYlJU BILANr
Chicago is in possession of the democratic
party tonight. Republicans are thoroughly
disguised with themselves over their fatal mis-
take IN nominating Harrison, and many have
been heard tonight TO admit the ticket cannot
win. Democrats are parading the streets with
