SECOND DAY.
ST. LOUIS, June Cit was within q quar-
ter of 10, the time set for the assembling Of
the convention before the committee on
platform got together to-day. The sub.com.
mittee, which had been in conference until
after midnight, reported its inability to reach
conclusions, and the committee as a whole
seemed practically where they began. The
question confronting the members was
~,h.%1>o.% - oofo~% lo v,ottau nno;n "a &1o e,,h
committee, fight it out themselves in COM
mittee Of the whole, or to relegate the whole
subject to the action Of the convention. It
was freely predicted in the corridors outside
the committee room that the last course
would be the upshot and that the conven-
ton would have to deal with a majority aud
minority report from its committee on plat
form.
Mallory, of Florida, presented a resolu-
ton endorsing the Presidents tariff message.
It was received with cheers and applause.
General Collins says he has been advised
by the chairman that the committee on plat
form and resolutions will not be able to
report before 8 O'Clock tonight.
Nominations for President being declared
in order, Alabama on being called in the roll
ton to New York. Dan Dougherty, of the
latter State, was recognized, and proceeded
to nominate Cleveland, which he did ably.
(The speech is too long for insertion. He
was interrupted by tremendous applause at
the mention of Cleveland's name, and the
convention went wild as Cleveland's picture
was disclosed, a bust of him crowned with
laurel, and when the banners of all the
States grouped around those of New York.
1t was "a minutes before the chairman could
regain control of the convention). Cleve-
lands nomination was made by reclamation,
and at 2 p. m. the convention adjourned for
the day.

first ballot, three fourths of all. His nomi-
nation was on motion made unanimous.
After transaction of minor business the
convention adjourned sine die at 2:11 p. m.
The resolutions adopted were very volum-
inous, the principal point being reafirma-
tion Of the platform of 1884 and declaring
Cleveland's last message was a correct in
depreciation of the platform on the tariff
question.
