itself in measure before the time to vote
is at hand. They have been industriously
at work and claim some converts for their
man. The fight was on the motion for the
convention to take q recess until 10 q. m.
tomorrow, and afler being repeatedly
beaten they at length succeeded
in wearing the tired delegates into
consent. The struggle was nothing like q
fair test of Vice Presidential sentiments.
Many hurmansdslsgstiOns were in favor
of q recess. They thought it would be i'm
proper to proceed further before the Com
miltee on Resolutions had reported. 9th
ers we're aaxious to show consideration to
the Indiana delegates aud desired them to
have every opportunity to present their
case.
NOTHING SHORT OF MIRACLE WILL PRE-
VENT

BY the delay will probably accrue to the
HOosiers who are making the best use Of
the time at their command.
I FTFa- ~ III To- apah
this morning when three more States bold
. ly threw the Thurman banner to the
breezes. Michigan led by hosting Red
Bandana on its banner staff. Kansas and
Maine followed Immediately.
Tim Campbell, of New York, then got
| in few twists on the candle sppen6age OF
/ the British lion in q resolution which he
presented reafirming the Monroe doctrine
and declaring the readiness Of the Ameri-
can nation to sustain it. 1t was referred.
CHEERS FOR TARIFF REFORM.
Mallory, Of Florida, set the Conven-
ton in an uproar Of cheers by read
ing q resolution to the effect that
the Democratic party appreciated the
principles of tariff reform enunciated
in the Presidents message. 1t was also
referred to the Committee on Resolutions.
The reports of committees were then
called for. IL was announced that the
Committee on Resolutions had not COM
pleted their work aud would not be able
TO report until late this evening.
On permanent organization Hon. P. A.
Collins, of Boston, was named for chair
man. His address on assuming the posi-
ton was one of the features of the
day. 1t WAS q magnificent arrsign'
ment of Republican mislaanagement
and folly, and a sound exposition of the
Democratic doctrine. Its Cleveland and
tariff reform sentiment swept the ccnven
ton aud provoked round on round of sp
plause. The psrorstion was an eloquent
personal tribute to the President, and th'
orator delivered it with vigcr and fire borr
of belief. 1t was a significant utteranc'
coming from one who WAS so freely quoted
"a an opponent Of Mr.. Clevelsnd's policy
HoSoRs To LITTLE PHIL"
Tim Campbsll met with decided opposi
ton in having his resolution of sympathy
for gallant Phil Sheridan read, but wher
its purport was known, every delegate II
the hall rose to his feet in honor Of th'
nations most brilliant soldier.
After Mrs. E. A. Merriwether, OF st
Louis, q representative of the Nstions
Woman's Council, had made a brief ad
dress, the battle to adjourn began, on tn
motion that when the convention take
recess it do 80 to meet at 10 a. m. to-mor
row. Ii was received with loud cries
No! No!" and Hensel, of Pennsylvania
moved a substitute that the roll Of Stste
be called for nominations for President ant
Vice President. The substitute carried
with a storm OF cheers. Alabama sur
rendered her place on the roll to New
York, and Daniel Dougherty, the Silver
tousued leader of the New York Democ
racy, mounted the platform, wearing tn
badge Of Tammany Hall on his breast.
SCENE THAT BEGGARs DESCRIPTION
He said he rose to nominate the mex
President OF the United States, and b
pledged the electoral vote of New York Il
her favorite son. Dougherty closed will
the name of Grover Cleveland, and as il b!
magic, q life-sizs portrait CT the Presi
dent appeared in q panel over tn
platform. Then the long pent NJ
enthusiasm Of the convention brok
forth. The scene that ensued beggsr
description. The hill was one vast sea
waving hats, handkerchiefs and banners
Thousands were on their feet shouting tn
name of Cleveland. Compared with thi
every other demonstration had been but
cup full. Again and again the cheers rem
the air. The banners Of the various State
and Territories were carried over ant
: grouped about New York, and the red snt
uray and the black waved in unison for tn
great son OF the Empire State. The OH
GERS were unable to control the enthusiasm
, and it was allowed to exhaust itself. 1
fully thirty minutes before the last cheer
had died ont and business WAS again pro
eeeded with.
Tbs roll Of the States was finished, thu
nomination being seconded from Ken
tucky, Michigan, Georgia, Kansas an'
Texas, and Ex-Governor Mckenzie, o
Kentucky, moved that the rules be sus
pepded aud Grover Cleveland be nomina

On The Democrat National ticket was fille'
with one leader whom the party and peo
! pie demand.
