itol building, revealing TO the full gaze
Of the convention the well-known lea
lures OF the President. This incident
aroused the enthusiasm OF the conven-
ton TO a fever heat for the first time
during its proceedings. The hall was at
once filled with
CHEER on CHEER,
and the great body Of people in the
auditorium, balcony and gallery arose
and stood shouting at the top Of its
voice until the din became almost deaf
ening. Hats were thrown in the air,
red bandannas waved from thousand
hands, and white and gray hats were
frantically thrust upon the points OF
canes and waved until the owners be-
came exhausted. Some one on the stage
crowned the bust Of the President on
the left OF the Chairman with u laurel
wreath, which was the signal for even
wilder bursts OF shouts and cheers than
before. Although thefull band OF sixty
pieces was in full blast all this time, not
sound from its trumpets could be
heard. The climax OF this great scene
was reached when the banners OF all
the States were borne by the delegates
to the New York standard and grouped
about it. At this
THE ENTHUSIASM WAS UNBoUNDED.
Spectators and delegates tore the red,
white and blue bunting from the pillars
and from the face OF the balconies, and
waved these improvised banners all
over the hall for ten minutes. This
remarkable outburst did not cease until
everybody was absolutely exhausted.
It was exactly "a minutes before the
chair was able to regain control OF the
convention. After the storm had at
length been quelled, James A. McKen-
zie, Of Kentucky, took the staud to sec
ond the nomination Of Grover Cleve-
land.
There was, he said, within the broad
limits OF this great land, but one more
popular Democrat than Grover Cleve-
land and that was the queenly woman
he has made his wife. Laughter and
loud and long continued applause.l The
White House was presided over by the
UNcRowNED QUEEN OF OUR REPUBLIC.
He (McKenzie) was not going to let
Mrs. Cleveland out OF this campaign. In
hoe signo yinces. [Applause.l AT the
last Convention it was said that Cleve-
land was loved for the enemies he had
made; later, it was said that he was low
ed for the rascals he had turned out
still later it was said he was loved for the
message he had written. Applause.
Kentucky loved him for the fight that
was in him, and for his splendid racing
qualities. He was rs game as Lexington
and as speedy as the Ten Brock.
Laughter and appiause.1 In his early
form he won the Buffalo tmayoralty
stakes, hands down. Later he cantered
from post to pole in the New York
handicap, a winner by $4,000 feet.
[Laughter.1 lie then entered against
the FIorentine Mosaic from Maine and
won the National Derby by q neck. He
was about to run again, and the bulletin
board would show ECLIPSE first and the
rest nowhere" Mr.. Mckenzie then
eulogized Mr.. Cleveland's administration
in pleasant manner, which secured for
him much applause and laughter.
Mr.. H. D. u. Twiggs, OF Georgia, who
seconded Mr.. Cleveland's nomination,
said the great State OF Georgia is proud
to second the name OF Grover Cleve-
land. Monopoly had said to the South,
"You are poor,
