afternoon. The first news that the
New Workers generally had Of his NOM
inaton came from the newspaper bull
letiu boards and the early morning
extra editions Of the papers which they
got down town. There was apparent
ly 10 great excitement because the
news has been discounted by reports
from Chicago during the last three
days.
Since Tuesday night Cleveland's
nomination had been regarded as an
absolute certainty, and nearly every
body this morning had the pleasure of
saying to everybody he met: II told
YOU So" No one laid claim to the re-
markab!y prophetic powers for predict
ing his nomination.
There was much satisfaction felt by
the members of the New York Stock
Exchange as they gathered in the bull
ring to-day and exchanged views on
the political situation. The Democrats
gathered in groups and vented their
enthusiasm in cheers and cat calls, and
the Republicans confessed that the
issue was made and they had q hard
battle to fight, while the Independents,
who sustained Cleveland so effectively
four and eight years ago, beamed with
happiness.
Ill agreed, Democrats, Independents
and Republicans alike, that Cleveland
was the strongest business mems can
didate that could be named, and the
effect of his nomination was shown by
the strong opening Of the market. The
representatives in Wall street of for
eign houses declared that his nomina-
tion would restore European conf
deuce and greatly strengthen Ameri-
call securities.
In the first hour of business initiat-
ory steps were taken for the organiza-
ton of a Cleveland club in the Stock
Exchange, aud the call of the meeting
was issued by H. H. Hart. The meet
ing will be held at $50 o'clock to-mor-
row afternoon at the Office Of G. J.
Hudson & Co., 80 Wall street.
At the hotels groups gath "red in the
lohbies and talked about Cleveland's
prospects of election. One very notice
able thing was that every prominent
Republican seen at the hotels conceded
that Cleveland is the strongest candi-
date the Democrats, could have taken.
They all along feared his success at
Chicago, for they regard him as the one
Democrat who could endanger Repub-
lican victory.
Ex-senator Warner Miller was
taxing an fter-breakfast walk in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel corridor when
asked what he thought Of the action of
the Democratic Convention. 81 be-
lieve," he replied. "that Cleveland is
the strongest man they could pit
against Harrison. He is representa-
tive of the present Democratic ideas,
and as such fittingly deserved the n"-
mination. / don't think he will be
elected. No Democrat can be elected,
but Cleveland will give us a lively
fight"
Several smaller politicians, who hang
around the Fifth Avenue Hotel corrl-
dor whenever political news is going
about, echoed the sentiments expressed
by the big men.
4 remarkable thins about it is that
after the former Presidential conven-
tons the candidates named have been
usually pronounced the weakest IN
their party. The sentiments is generally
expressed, too, that the nomination in
suleS campaign Of public issues, and
devoid of personalities and mud sling

opinions to reporters. Mayor Boody
