 When in the course of MT. Tarpey's speech he said that it was admitted that there was but one man to nominate who would sweep the country like atidal wave there was mighty response of "Gray" and for some minutes the orator was unable to proceed.
 When Colorado was called MT. Patterson addressed the convention stating that he had been selected to present the name of Pension Commissioner John G. Black for the vice presidency, but MT. Blacks withdrawal left him nothing to do but to support the red bandanna, and he did it right heartily. (Mr. Black wrote to MT. Patterson withdrawing his name in favor of Thurman and the an- nouncement was made early in the day.)
 Connecticut was next called and Hon. James P. Pigott responded as follows:
 Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen A public office is public trust, and the Democrats or Connecticut believe that the best stees of public offices are Democrats Therefore it is that have been selected by the unanimous vote of the Connecticut delega- hara of New EogIand, the only place in New Eng land where the Democrats look for assistencs and cid, to second the nomination ee a man who is vol thy of every lust.

 The call'o States was then proceeded with without eliciting response until Indiana was reached when Daniel ". Voerhees came forward. He took the platform amid s eat excitement. The historians of Europe, he said, described Belgium as the battle-ground of ell the great wars that transpired between European nations. He came from the political battlefield of the United States, the State of Indiana. (Ap- plause.1 Who would inquire how went the battle in any State except in Indiana and 8 couple of northern States! Who would ask how went Illinois or Ohioi That was prede termined; who would ask how ragged the bat tie except to inquire how le-ge the Republi- can majority wes4 The inquiry would be, how goes New York, New Jersey and Con- necticuta Indiana asked nominee on the ticket and rendered to the Democratic party fifteen electoral votes. Grover Cleveland would be reelected this fall on the vote of Indiana, or he would not be reelected at all. The safety of the hour was for New York and Indiana to clasp hands. The lines of battle were the same this year as in 1884, and the States where victory wes to be ob- tained were the same.
 A voice-"How about Oregon?'
 "Oregon," replied MT. Voorhees,, ''take warning by Oregon and rely on Indiana and you will not be deceived. We present to you name for this ticket of a man physically and mentally strong and endowed with mental and physical life. The key to the situation is Indiana I challenge every can did man to say what name can bring as many votes to the Democratic ticket as Isaac P. Gray" (Three cheers.)
 Albert H. Cox, of Georgia, seconded the nomination of Governor Gray. Ezra E. Set tie, of Kentucky, also seconded the nominar ton of Governor Gray. Governor Green of New Jersey seconded Thurman's nomination and was followed by Mir. Dryden, of Mis- souri, in the same strain. Mir. Dorsey, of l. II. did MT. Rains of New York. MT. Perry of Ohio, MT. Dorsey of South Carolina, MT Thompson of Tennessee, ,ex Governor Throck- morton of Texas, and Mir. McGinnis, of Idaho, also seconded Thurman's name.
 The chairman-This completes the list of States and territories. Cries of "Call the roll" and "Nol" "No"
 The chairnan-The clerk will call the names of those placed in nomination for the vice presidency.
