~ should certainly be chargeable
with dense insensibility II l were not
! profoundly touched by this new proof
! Of the confidence and trust OF the great
party to which belong and whose
mandates claim my loyal obedience.
II am confident that our fellow coun-
trymen are ready to receive with APP
prevail the principle OF true Democracy,
/ and | cannot rid myself OF the belief
that to win success, it is only necessary
! to persistently and honestly advocate
these principles.
differences Of opinion and judgment
| In Democratic conventions are by no
means unwholesome indications, but it
! Is hardly conceivable in view OF the i'm
portance OF our success to the country
/ and the party that there should be any
where, among Democrats, any lack OF
]
/ the campaight which opens before us.
1 have therefore no concern on that sub
ject.
ut will certainly be my constant en-
deavor TO deserve the support Of every
Democrat"
Mr.. Cleveland was terribly tired when
the news OF the total of the balloting
| reached him. Joseph Jefferson depart
ed at 400 o'clock from Gray Gables.
Mrs. Cleveland went to bed at o'clock
and when the nominee Of the Demo-
cratic party sought his chamber it was
nearly 5.
The telegraph bulletins were inter
spersed with many kindly greetings and
expressions Of regard from Mr. Cleve
lands personal friends. The sun had
risen gloriously and was sending its
beams across upland and field and water
when the dispatch was received an
nouncing that Mr.. Cleveland had been
chosen to lead the hosts Of the Democ-
racy in the coming campaign.
Governor Russell turned TO Mr..
Cleveland as the dispatch was received,
congratulated him heartily on his sue
cess, and after a short message had
been prepared by Mr.. Cleveland to be
sent to the press all parties retired.
The wires were again at work early
this morning pouring in congratula-
tions to Mr.. Cleveland, thirty-eight
such messages had been received for
transmission from the Buzzard's Bay
Office to Gray Gables before the tele-
graph operator there had arisen and

we'll OF civil life, and received with much
satisfaction.
Mr.. Cleveland was again seen this
morning after breakfast by the ASsoci-
ated Press representative, and asked II
he had any message to send out con-
corning the work Of the convention.
In reply he said:
81 have nothing to say beyond what
have already given out. The conven-
ton has not yet finished its labors, and |
until 1t has il seems TO me that anything !
from me would be out of place and open |
TO MISREPRESENTATION" On being asked |
concerning his movements to-day, Mr.. |
Cleveland said: 81 shall stay at home, !
as did yesterday, where can be ready |
to receive the congratulations Of my !
friends, which are constantly coming |

HOW THE DAY WAS SPENT.
Claudidess and rain have marked the |
day at Gray Gables and Mr.. Cleveland |
has passed the entire day at home. He |
has had few callers, but his time has
been largely occupied in reoding tele- |
grams Of congratulations from varions |
sources, Of which he has had over two |
hundred, and many more are yet 10 come, |
having been delayed in Boston by the |
crowded condition of the wires.
The kilograms are, in the main,
identical In the language. Among |
others are dispatches from Ex-Governor |
Green, of New Jersey; Governor Pat
tison, Of Pennsylvania; Pinkney White,
of Maryland; one or two from members
of the Tammany organization, Of New
York, but largely the kilograms
bave been from Democratic friends.
Mr.. Cleveland was asked this afternoon
IL he had received any congratulations
from Hill or the Tammany organization
as a whole, and he smiled as he an
swered In the negative.
