ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The Democratic
the greatest display of enthusiasm ever
witnessed in a similar body. For over
twenty consecutive minutes 1900 people
filled the air of the great convention hall
with a volume of undiminishing cheers,
comparable with nothing on earth per-
haps save the falls of Niagara. 1t was at
the utterance of these words: II give you
a name entwined with victory. | nomi-
nate Grover Cleveland of New York"
The speaker was Danl. Dougherty of
Tammany hall. With every nerve of his
noble figure tense, the magniicent-voiced
orator was alternately thrilling the vast
audience and holding them spellbound.
When at the climax of his ~eloquence he
named for the first time the man who was
uppermost in
Il THOUGHTS OF ALL,
1t was needless to utter another word.
Dougherty paused for a momen to gaze
over the hundreds of frantic, cheering
delegates, at the even more frantic thou
sands ofspectators beyond, who high above
the forest of heads were waving innumer-
able bandanas. Hats and canes were being
pitched into the air, while cheers were
becoming 80 terrific that no single enthus-
last could hear his screech in the one over
powering general yell. At this moment
a mammoth picture of the capitol at
Washington. covering the wall far above
the platform and in plain view of the
whole convention was seen to swing back
and the smiling face of President Cleve-
land beamed out on his admirers. Every
body in the hall seemed
FAIRLY BESIDE THEMSELVES
with excitement A stone bust of the presi-
dent near the speaker stand was crowned
with a wreath of green, snatched by
almost frenzied hands from among the
decorations of the platform. Long poled
state banners among the delegates were
being whirled wildly IN the air, when sud.
denly the convention with a mighty shout
discovered Daniel Dougherty climbing on
a chair in the middle OF the New Workers
on the floor. He was waving alott an
American flag. AS if moved by a COM
mon impulse the standard bearers of the
different states all passed toward New
York, each seeking to reach Dougherty's
emblem with their tall staffs and toss it to
the roof. At this moment a hundred
American eagles o~rnamenting the railing
of the gallery were being taken off and
their outstretched mimic wings, six feet
from tip to tip, were Tapping their golden
wings with the assistance of the nearest
spectators, men and women alike.
