CHICAGO, June 23.-Jaded, sweaty and
languid, with tired out look upon their
faces, the delegates wandered into the con-
vention hall to day for the last session, q
few appearing before 2 o'clock, but the
great majority failing to put in appearance
until long after the hour set for the open
ing of the proceedings. At 2:27 the Gray
club of Indianapolis with their velvet
banner on which was inscribed the name
of Indiana's governor marched into the
hall proceed by band playing "Auld Lang
Syne," and were received with great yell
from the delegates present and the audi
ence. Behind them came the Hendricks
club of Indianapolis, the members of both
clubs fourishing long white plumes and
chanting a nondescript air which fitted
the words:
"Gray, Gray, Isaac P. Gray"
The measure of public interest proceed
ings had sunk from the mark of SIS per
ticket on the curbs yesterday to $3.50 to-
day. The lessened interest was also told
by the empty chairs in the galleries. A
tendency to 81 i've a crumb of comfort to
Tammany was noticeable. John E. Rus
sell of Massachusetts was a type of this
class. He had been one of the foremost
of Cleveland's supporters. "Tammany
should have fair show" he said to a
friend as he was entering the wigwam,
land for one will support who ever they
will name for second place"
There were rumors of combinations and
purposes to filling of the second place.
1t transpired that Bourke Cochran of New
York had been urging New York's seven
ty-two delegates to give their solid vote to
General A. e. Stevenson of Illinois.
General Collins in the meantime was
among the massachusetts delegates can
wasting for Gray.
AT $3.50 Chairman Wilson called the con-
ver ton to order and prayer was offe red
by the Rev. Thomas Greene of Iowa. The
chair then stated that the next order of
business was the nomin alton of a candi-
date for the vice presidency.
The chair directed the clerk to call the
roll of the states for nominations for that
Office. On motion of Governor Porter of
Tennessee nominating speeches were linn
tied to fvo minutes each and seconding to
two minutes, and the roll was proceeded
with.
GRAY PLACED IN NOMINATION..
When the clerk called Arkansas Mr..
Fordyce stated that Arkansas desired to
waive the right to nominate in favor of
Indiana The chairman then introduced
the Hon. John E. Lamb of Indiana, who
placed in nomination Isaac P. Gray of In
DIANA Mr.. Lamb said: "When 1 was
elected as a delegate hoped to have the
honor and pleasure of casting my vote for
an honored son of Indiana for the
presidency of the United States
[Cheers. But when l arrived at

had already decided that another than an
Indianan should lead in the campaign.

majority of the democratic party. To-day

Cleveland. come from state which is
the center of the political battlefield of the
west. Whenever the democratic party has
listened to its advice, whenever you have
honored Indiana with place upon your
ticket, you had democratic victory. APP
plause.1 And now, in behalf of that state
which has never faltered, which has never
sulked, which has fought every inch of

delegation from Indiana to make fifteen
votes in the electoral college certain by
placing upon you ticket the name of that
honored leader who never lost a battle, the
Hon. Isaac P. Gray. Cheers long and
loud Our candidate has been tried in
the balance and never found wanting.
GApplause. In the great contest of 1884 he
carried Indiana for governor by thousand
more votes than Cleveland and Hendricks.
The tongue of SANDER has never been able
to pierce his democratic armor. For twenty
years he has fought the battles of democ-
racy. He will fight them again whether
you put him on the ticket or not. APP
plause. But, my friends, if there is a
certainty of of fifteen electoral votes for
Grover Cleveland and Isaac P. Gray in
Indiana nominate that ticket and we
will deliver the votes.'' Great applause.
