 When Mir. Dougherty finished his speech at 611 minutes after 12 the delegates and the audience set up yell. After simply yelling for half minute they began to get enthused and some of the more ardent peeled off their coats and commenced waving them. About this time the deer of the picture of the Cap- itel at the rear of the platform was swung aside and in the panel appeared @ portrait of Cleveland occupying the center of the fa- cade of the Capitol. Then the delegates and the audience simply went wild and with a furious energy worked their voices and approval of the nomination. A band some. where in the galleries started up Marching Through Georgia and the air or the senti- ment, nobody knew which, elicited a tremendous outburst of cheers At this time third of the delegates and per baps one-fourth of the audience produced bandanna handkerehiefs and waved them i- 4o i,, centive there was an additional swell in the terrible outburst of noise. One lunatic in the gallery took his new plug hat and sent it sailing across the space over the heads of the delegates and it was caught by man in the opposite gallery. After eight minutes of bed lam Chairman Collins thought the thing had gone far enough and thumped and pounded for order, but with every thump of the gavel arose new section of yells from the assem- blaze and Chairman Collins relinquished the job in despair. At this juncture Daniel Dougherty mounted 8 chair in the center of the New York delegation and waved flag. From all parts of the hslF delegates gathered about Dougherty bearing the standards of their respective States and formed in circle about him, holding in 8 sort of canopy over his head the placards bearing the names of the States. In marked distinction from the scarlet bandannas, the standards of Indiana and Kansas were dec oratsd with strips of black, indicating the adherence of the parties who bore them to the cause of the present commissioner of pen sions. Under the canopy formed by the standards were a couple of United States flags, and the tableau thus completed was greeted with wild chorus of cheers and howls and yells. Among the audience in the rear of the delegates number of people pro duced flock of big yellow eagles which by some arrangement were made to flap their ho hoH at last subsided comparatively Aessrs. John B. Castleman and A. c. De Jarnette, of New York, carried the New York standard on the platform and planted it beside the chairman's desk to emphasize the second which New York proposed on Grover Cleveland. Eighteen minutes of un- adulterated bedlam seemed to be enough to their seats, but the audience were not satis- fed with this allotment of time and contin- ued the uproar two minutes longer.
 When they were finally brought to order MT. Mckenzie, of Kentucky, took the plat form to second the nomination of Cleveland. There was, he said, within the broad limits of this great land but one more popular Democrat than Grover Cleveland. and that was the queenly woman he had made his wife. naughter and loud and continued ap- pIause.) The White House was presided over by the uncrowned queen of our republic He (AcKenzie) was not going to let Mrs. Cleveland out of this campaign. In hoo signo vince. (Applause)
 Mr. Mckenzie eulogized MT. Cleveland's s in pleasant manner, which secured for him much applause and laughter.
 H. D. Twiggs, of Georgia, also seconded MT. Clevelands nomination. The call of States was then continued, but no response until Illinois was reached, when W. R. Mor- rison arose, and, being recognized by the received an enthusiastic greet ing. He merely desired to formally second the nomination in behalf of the State of H. linois. Kansas responded with written second commenting Cleveland's administra- tion. Michigan was represented by B. D. Stout, who voiced the sentiments of his dele gation in seconding the nomination. When Missouri was called there were loud and long continued cries for Vest, but the Sena- tor failed to respond, and when New York was reached similar compliment was ten dered to Fsllowes, but he likewise declined to make a speech.
 MT. Mckenzie, of Kentucky, moved to sus- pend the rules and nominate Grover Cleve- land for President by exclamation. The chair put the question and there was return ed from the convention laundering cheer of yeas. The chair therefore announced that Grover Cleveland, having received unani-
