! Ryan, of Waukesh ha; Thomas Thompson,
/ of Trempealeau; John W. Hinsey, of Mil
waukee, and Fred. W. Horn, of Cedar
| burg, as the representative of the young
! democracy, were nominated. After some
! discussion the roll WAS called the candi-
date receiving the highest number of
votes TO be declared elected. Before the
! vote was announced Mr.. Hinsey withdrew
in favor of Ryan. Notwithstanding this
the vote resulted, 135 votes for Ryan and
l69 for Thompson. Mr.. Thompson was
| thereupon declared elected.
This finished the work for which the
convention was called, and at exactly &
O'Clock the convention adjourned after
! giving
THREE DEArENINu CHEERS
for the next president of the United
States, Grover Cleveland.
The Wisconsin delegation will go to st.
Louis Cnpledged rs far as the second
place on the ticket is concerned, but the
sentiment of the delegates appears to be
for Gray, of Indiana, as the most avail
able man for the place.
