GREAT APPLAUSE FOR CLEVELAND.
Although Mr.. White had requested
by way OF preface that during the deliy-
cry OF his speech the Convention should
preserve silence, he was frequently inter
rupted by applause and once or twice
was compelled to stop until the applause
had died away. He spoke with distinc-
ton and could be heard all over the
hall.
When he mentioned the name Of
President Cleveland the Convention
arose to its feet and with waving hats
and iluttering handkerchieis Cheered for
several seconds. The mention OF tariff
reform was also cheered. and ut the close
ofhis address the speaker was generously
applauded.
TILpEN so SOON FORGOTTEN.
Curiously enough, the references in
the speech to Tilden failed to arouse
any marked enthusiasm, None OF the
New York delegation applauded the
mention OF that once inspiring name.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Whites
speech, Governor Green, OF New Jersey,
offered resolution adopting the rules
OF the preceding convention as the rules
OF the present convention, subject to
the following notification That in
voting for candidates for President and
Vice President no State shall be allowed
to change its vote until the roll call OF
States lias been made and every State
ttas cast its vote.
The resolution was adopted, after n
point OF order raised by Dir. Schaewal-
ter, OF Wisconsin, that it was not in or
der nntila report had been made by the
Committee on Credentials, had been
overrulcd by the Chairman,
4 SILVER GAyEL.
Then Thos. NJ. Patterson, Of Missouri,
rose, and craving the indulgence of the
convention, in behalf of the State Of
Colorado, presented to the convention
gavc!, manufactured OF Colorado silver,
richly chased and FURNISHED. It was,
he said, modest offering from younger
member Of the Federal Union TO that
party which had restored silver to that
plane from which it had been degraded
by the Congressional conspiracy OF 1873,
and which had ever since remained its
constant champion. Let the announce
ment be made throughout the civilized
world, through the silvery tone Of the
gavel, OF the second and unanimous
nomination OF the peoples choice for
President, Grover Cleveland. Loud ap-
plause.
The chairman received this handsome
present, which was handed up in blue
plush case. In receiving it he said:
"This present shall be deemed t6 be
accepted unless there is objection. There
is none, therefore it is accepted. And
now that we have agreed to this, beg
to announce to the convention that so
far as this gayel can do it, the body will
be ruled by silver"
DOWN TO BUSINESS.
The chair then recognized Senator
German, Of Maryland, who presented
resolution providing that the roll Of
States be called and that each State
name member Of the Committee on
Credentials, u member OF the Committee
on Permanent Organization and 4 mem
Der OF the Committee on Resolutions,
and that all resolutions relating to the
platform be referred to the Committee
on Resolutions without debate. Mr.,
Raines, OF New York, suggested that
il would be in order first to call the roll
OF the convention, so that the list OF
delegates could be passed oyer 70 the
credentials committee. The chair said
that the convention, in adopting Sena-
tor Germans resolution, would be pro.
ceeding in the usual way, and that the
list OF delegates would be handed to the
committee in proper time. The resolu-
ton was adopted and the States pros
ceeded to make the following appoint
ments:
