When Montana was called there was
cry Of McGinnis, the delegate who had
created a ripple of merriment
when he announced his name in presenting
resolution. Mr.. McGinnis responded in
pleasant speech, secondinR the nomlna-
tion of Senator Thurman, saying that there
should be ratification meeting to ratify not
only the choice of the democracy, Grover
Cleveland for the Presidency, but to ratify
the grand principles Of the democracy in
the nomination OF its leader for thirty
years-Allen G.. Thurman. The prospect
| OF democratic success in November
amounted almost 10 certainty. Blaine
has already fed before the advancing coll
umns of the democracy, and confesses to
the hopelessness Of his party and its candi-
dates.
