Closing Scenes and Incidents OF the Long
Session.
CHICAGO, June PAT was a tired and
weary looking body of men that left the
Convention Hall after the exalting ses'
sion Of nine and a-half hours, and it was
not long before the greater number Of
the delegates were in bed, dreaming,
perhaps, peacefully or otherwise as
their hopes were gratified or destroyed
by the work they had just gone
through.
The FIRST and most noticeable feature
Of the situation to attract attention was
the entire absence of outward demon
strations of enthusiasm.
Whilst there was no visible enthusi-
Rsm over the nomination there was also
an absence of open protestations OF dis
content.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends repeat their
assurances that the nomination of their
chief will bring to the ticket in New
York more strength than it can possi-
bly, drive away, and they claim that
there are States in the Northwest which
Cleveland can carry and no one else
could for the Democratic parry.
The officially corrected ballot shows
that Cleveland received 617 1-3 votes
against 118 for Senator Hill, 104 for
| Gov. Boies and the rest scattering The
number necessary to choice was 608.
When it became apparent that Cleve-
| land had two-thirds of the votes,
| MIR. Neal, of Ohio, moved to suspend
the rules, and make the nomination by
acclamation. He was ruled out of
| order.
Mr.. Daniel, of Virginia, took the then
| platform and said
The Democratic people of the United States
| have uttered their voice through the lips OF
| their chosen delegates. BY that voice it has
| been decreed that Grover Cleveland Is the
nominee of each and every Democrat in this
| Convention "a voice, so he Isl. (Uheers) In
| behalf of the delegation from Virginia which
came here divided to-day but who go home as
one on behalf of every true-hearted Demo
crat that loves the great banner of the people
| move you that there be but one voice and
one sound from every Democrat in this Con
vention, and that by every tongue the word
shall be uttered that Grover Cleveland is to bt
the leader in this campaign. (Cheers).
We can, we must, we will my countrymen
carry the great Democracy to triumph.
Mr.. Daniels remarks excited tht
greatest enthusiasm but the Chair wa.
unable to get order, for crowd Of New

Flower, Lieut.. Governor Sheehan and
others of the New York delegation t
second the nomination.
But the New York delegation sa
silent when the vote was put and from
other parts of the hall came some en-
phatic negatives. The Convention
hissed at this and the Kissing continued
until Governor Flower got on chair
His lips moved, but his words coulC
not be heard beyond the limit of circl
just about him.
He was trying to move to make tn
nomination unanimous
Bourke Cochran got to his feet HI
had weary air as he held his hand be
hind his head and addressed the Chair
"As there was some expression of dis
sent uttered in the neighborhood whel
the motion was made to declare tn
nomination unanimous, the vote of th
State of New York, in full submission
to this Convention, was cast in tn
affirmative"
, This announcement was greeted will
: cheers from all parts of the hall, ant
there were cries of Question.
The Chairman put the question again
and this time it was carried without dis
sent.
