NEW YORK DECLARES FOR THURMAN.
Mr.. Raines, of New York, was greete'
with cheers when he took the stand Il
make known the position of his Stat
delegation. New York, he said, hat
withdrawn herself until this momen
drew forth deliberations OF this body II
the selection OF candidate Tor Wee
President. But the time he'd arrived tol
her voice to be heard in unison with th'
acclaim of her fellow delegations from
Maine to the Capes OF the Western sea
in behalf OF him who was the Plato o.
the Republic. The battle line OF tht
coming conflict extended across the con
tinent. The forces OF the Democracy
would reach across the continent and
over the reserve corps would wave the
flag Of Allen G. Thurman. Applause
T. E. Powell, Of Ohio, briefly but
earnestly seconded Thurman's nomina-
ton. II was claimed, he said, that the
universal cry for Thurman was but a
sentiment OF the heart. That might be
so, but it was the grandest sentiment
that ever occupied the Democratic party.
When Idaho was called there was a
cry for AIcGinnis, the delegate who had
created ripple OF merriment when lie
announced his name in presenting n
resolution. Mr.. McGinnis responded in
pleasant speech, seconding the nomi-
nation OF Mr.. Thurman, saying that
t,n.a al, anI1 In a rnNtHnoIto,, t1noii,,T N
ratify not only the choice OF the Democ-
racy, Grover Cleveland, for the Presi-
denCy, 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 to
almost certainty. Blaine has already
fled before the advancing column Of the
Democracy, and confesses to his hope
lessness OF his party and its candidate.
THURMAN GETS 1T.
The convention then proceeded to a
vote aud the names Of the States were
called. When vote was announced
from Ohio for Gray, there was a storm
OF Kisses and cries OF "put him out"
Before the vote OF Wisconsin was an
nounced it was evident that Thurman's
nomination assured and the convention
was thrown into a fever OF excitement
and enthusiasm, when the Ineiana dele
CATION took down the Gray hat, which
had been held aloft all day on its banner
pole and flung red bandana to the
breeze. This was the signal for repe-
tition OF the scene Of yesterday, when
Cleveland was nominated. The Indiana
banner, with its tluttering red bandana,
was caught up by two excited delegates
and borne to the stage, where 1t was
waved frantically during thetcontinua-
ton OF the demonstration. Some one
tied red bandana about the neck oi the
bust OF Cleveland in the rear OF the
stage, and cheers Of the convention
which was now
WILL WITH ESTusIAsM
were redoubled. Tim 0'Leary, Penn
sylvania delegate, brought live fighting
cock in the hall and tossed it in the air.
The bird fluttered to the floor, but not
before it had caught the eye OF the con-
vention aud the hall became pande-
monium. The delegation banners all
decorated with red bandannas, were
borne from State to State about the hall
in franctic manner and thousands OF
red bandannas waved all over the hall.
The demonstration lasted about ten
minutes. After something like order
had been restored voting OF States was
proceed with, but before it was COM
pieted Mr.. Patterson, OF Colorado, moved
that Thurman's nomination be made
and the motion was seconded
by Mr.. Shanklin, of Indiana, In an earn
est speech, He would not add, he said,
one drop to the flow of perspiration by
to start another flow OF elo
quence. He rose for the purpose OF
the name OF Isaac p. Gray,
and seconding the motion to make the

nous, The delegates from Indiana had
come into the convention in good faith
and bowed to the decision of the Demo-
cratic party. He promised the conven-
ton that us the delegates had been for
Gray yesterday and this morning they
were now, aud from this time forward,
apostles OF Thurman. The motion was
agreed to and the nomination was made
