NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION
The Rules Suspended and the Work
Done With Wild Cheer.

ST.. LOUIS, June 6-After the compile
ton of the speeches seconding President
Cieveland's nomination, Mr.. Mckenzie of
Kentucky, moved to suspend the rules and
nominate Grover Cleveland for President by
reclamation.
The chair put the question, and there was
returned from the convention laundering
cheer of Yes The chair therefore all-
nounced that GROVER CLEVELAND, having
received a unanimous vote, was the candi-
date of the democratic party for the office
of President of the United States.
When the nomination of President Cleve-
land was announced by the chairman
another scene of wild enthusiasm occurred
in the convention, but the delegates and
spectators were too nearly exhausted to sus-
tain so prolonged a scene as that which
followed Mr.. Dougherty's speech
Mr.. voorhees, of Indiana, moved that the
convention take a recess until 10 o'clock to-
morrow He said that the committee on
resolutions would not report this afternoon,
and the convention would have to be here
tomorrow morning, and the intervening
time could be properly used for securing
the harmony and success Of the democratic
party.
BACKED BY BAUGHMAN.
Mr.. Baughman of Maryland favored tho
motion, and called attention to the fact
that a number of the most distinguished
members of the convention were absent
upon the committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Henzel of Pennsylvania said that the
committee on resolutions were subordinate
to the convention and could be directed by
it. He proposed to move that the commit
Tee be Instructed to report to this body at a
given time. The committee had already
been in session nearly twenty-four hours,
and If it could not agree within that Tina it
never would agree If the committee was
not ready to bring in one report let it bring
in two
Mr.. Voorhees, motion was defeated
MIR. Flower Of New York moved that
when the convention takes a recess it be to
meet tonight at o'clock
The motion was defeated by a vote of 1877
yeas to 430 nays.
VOORHEES, TRIES 1T AGAIN
Mr. Voorhees, then moved that the con-
ventiOn take recess until tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock There had been no differ
ences existing in the proceedings of the con
vention up to this time, but now there was
a difference of opinion, and he thought it
in the interest of justice and fair play that
Il recess should be taken.
Mr.. White Of California seconded the
motion, stating that he did so not to pre-
vent the nomination of any candidate, but
because the convention must have the plat
form carefully and deliberately adopted.
When the vice president was nomi-
mated it would be hard to hold
the convention together He knew
that the gentlemen were anxious to
raise their voices for the same man he was
in favor of, but he thought it better that
recess should be taken. Before the call of
the roll of states on Mr.. Voorhees, motion
was completed, it was evident that
that it would have a large ma jority and at
the suggestion of the chair the convention,
by unanimous consent, agreed to suspend
the call and agree to the motion, and the
chair at 1:5S o'clock announced that the
convention stood adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
