The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1892-06-29

To the convention at large the intentions of
the New York delegation were secret until
that state reached the roll call. L D to
that time Stevenson and Gray we're leading
with about equal strength and Morse Gnd
Mitchell were following in about the order
named. There was period of almost breath
less silence when the name Of New York was
called and the slight hesitancy OF the delegates
In responding ouly added TO the intensity of
tie interest
New York has seventy-twO votes for the
Hon. Adiai r. Stevenson OF Illinois" said
Governor Flower aud pandemouium broke
loose IN the enthusiasm that this remark in
spred from the thousands of l!linoisans that
throng"d the galleries and crowded the cor
riders and a~les.
The remainder OF the roll cal was but formal.
stevenson at once began to make rapid gains
and Rt the conclusion of the roll call one state
after another requested recognition to change
votes TO tue Ill,noIsan. In few minutes he
had the tVO-thirds requisite for ominstiOn and
the usual motion 10 make the nomination
unanimous prevailed amid the plaudits of the
galleries aud the widest enthusiasm on the
floor.
Gen. Stevenson himself was diScreetly alb
sent from the floor OF the convention during
the proceedings which were so vital TO him.
and his place as the chs;rman of the Illinois
delegation was temporarily filled BY one of bis
col eagues from the Prairie state.
The nomination OF Stevenson has done much
to allay the rancor of the national convention.
Although confident and great admirer of
Cleveland, he is the anIithesis of the distn-
guished NeS Yorker in mis- position on the
distribution of official patronage. Stevenson,
the hrst assistant postmaster-Reaeral
under Cleveland. made reputation Tor re-
moving republican pOstmasters and appoints g
democrats which it required all the agility Of
the Hon. James ;. Garrison of Iowa TO rival
when President Harrison made that gentleman
the assistant postmastergeneral under the re.
publican administration. For this reason Gen.
Stevenson Is exceedingly popular with the very
element which is most active in opposition 10
Cleveland, and the ticket nominated ia 1892 is
q concession 10 both OF the great elements into
which the civil service theories of these latter
days have divided the national democracy.

state can be carried for Cleveland by loyal and
faithful work then nobody more than ourselves

Bourke Cochran of New York said: "In my
speech last night gave reasons why believed
that Grover Cleveland was not the most fortu-
nate candidate that we could name Ny ad-

Richard Croker of New York occupied seat
beside Governor Flower IN the convention. He
was even more taciturn than usual and all be
would say In reply 20 the questions put to him
was: I'VE people al New York thought that we
knew how the democracy could carry the state,

subject Of general discussion today aud
meets with almost universal APP
prevail among democrats. The action Of the
convention in rejecting the tariff straddle and
adopting the outspoken tariff reform resolu-
tons introduced by Larry Neal is Endorsed by
nine out of ten democrats. The consensus of
opinion Is that the democratic party is tariff
for-revenue-only party or il is nothing, and
that the time has long gone by for any strad-
dies, bubbles or evasions on the subject.
The party has shown the full courage OF it's
convictions upon this question aud has joined
issues directly with the enemy. The decisive
majority by which the resctionary plank
ripped out of the platform reported by the
majority Of the committee on resolutions aud the
Neal substitute was adopted shows that the
masses of the party are deeply in earnest and
are a good deal Drawer than their leaders upon
the tariff question.
Mr.. Charles L. Jewett. the Indiana member
OF the committee on resolutions. voted in COM
mittee for the tarif straddle. The vote OF the
Indiana delegation upon this matter was not a
fair test. All the members followed the read
Ing OF the two resolutions and the discussion
closely. On clearly comprehending the ques-
uon az issue there was feeling thai some
how ths interests of Mr.. Cleveland were
more or less bound up with the fate
of the majority report, and that the rejection
OF that report would impair Mr.. Cleveland's
position before the convention. Mr.. Morss.
however. declared that. anxious as he was for
CleVeland's nomination, be would not stultify
himself by voting for the tariff straddle

all was in doubt as 10 the selection oil csndi-
date for viee-president. Every delegate that
was yesterday identified with The opposition to
Grover Cleveland was found TO be Arrayed in
even more vehement opposition to the can
didacy of Isaac p. Gray of Indiana. There was
a general desire on the part OF these discOnso-
lates to wreak vengeance on the Indiana dele
gaton for falling in line Tor Gle Veiand the very
time when their opposition would have given
so much comfort and substantial encourage
ment to those who had been making frautic
endesvOTs to prevent the eX-president from
getting the two-thirds vote necessary for EIs
nomination. So II became early manifest that,
whatever agreement might have been entered
into by the C!evea and leaders OF New York
Pennsylvania anu other prominent states to
give Gray the vlce-presdency IN return for the
support of Indiana for Cleveland, there was
going TO be very determined opposition by the
delegates generally to the contamination OF
this program.
Before daylight the Wisconsin delegation
had the Hobbies OF all the principal hotels
pasted with plscards bearing the inscriptions:
