The call of the states was then concluded
with no response, until Illinois was reached,
when w. K. Morrison arose, and being rec
Ognized by the chair, received an enthusiast
10 reception. He formally seconded the
nomination in behalf of the state of nli-
nois. Kansas responded with written Sec

of Texas, seconded the nomination on be-
half of his state and promised democratic
majority of 200, 600 at the next election. Mr..
Mackenzie, of New York, moved to suspend
the rules and to nominate Grover Cleveland
for president by reclamation. The chair
put the question and there was returned
from the convention
A THUNDERING CHORUS OF AYES.
The chair therefore announced that Grover
the candidate of the democratic party for
the Office of president of the United States.
When the nomination of Cleveland was
announced by the chairman another scene
of wild enthusiasm occurred in the conven-
ton, but the delegates and spectators were
too nearly exhausted to sustain so prolonged
a scene as that which followed Mr. Doug Oh
erty's speech.
Mr.. Voorhees,, of Indiana, moved that the
convention take recess until 10 o'clock to-
morrow. The committee on resolutions
would not, he said, report this afternoon,
and the convention would have to be here
tomorrow morning, and the intervening
time would be properly used for securing
the harmony and success of the democratic
party.

it. He proposed to move that the commit
tee be instructed to report to this body at q
given time. The committee had already
been in session nearly twenty-four hours,
and if it would not agree within that time,
it never would agree. If the committee was
not ready to bring in one report let it bring

Voorhees, then moved that the convention
take a recess until tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock. There had been no differences ex-
listing in the proceedings of the convention
up to this time, but now there was differ.
terest of justice and fair play that 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 plat
form carefully and deliberately adopted.
When the vice president was nominated it
would be hard to hold the convention to-
gether. He knew that the gentlemen were

man that he was in favor of, but
he thought it better that a recess
should be taken before the call
