Convention, were seen to swing back,
and the smiling face of President
Cleveland beamed out on his admirers.
Everybody in the hail seemed beside

stand was crowned with a wreath of
green, snatched by almost treBzied
hands from among the decorations of
the platform. The long poled

were being whirled widely ia TIE air,
when suddenly the convention with g.

FOUR CoRNERED STRUGGLE.
Among other features of the
day in convention was
four cornered struggle between
Thurman man, Gray men, tariff reform
e;s and the protective tariff element.
The Thurman delegates were eager to
have the nomination for Vice-P President
made at once, while the enthusiasm
was at fever heat. They were rein
forced by the tariff reformers, who were
ineensed at the delay OF the committee
on platform, and eager to adj
minister rebuke The Grav
men were using Fabian tactics,
and had able allies in the protectioDists.
Roswell Z. Flower, of New York and
Daniel W. Voorhees,, of Indiana, were
the opposing leaders, ths latter being
regarded as the spokesman of Gray.
Though outnumbered many times over.
the Phalan, under VOORHEES, was max

inspired the Pacific delegates, and
owing to the late meeting of the COM

lutil o'clock this morning, the attend

made to gain effect by ap-
