WISCONSIN DOES LIKEWISE.
MILWAUKEE, Wis. May 4.-That the
Democrats Of Wisconsin are unanimous
for Cleveland was given ample proof at
the state convention to-day, when he was
cheered to the echo before the convention
had been in session 80 seconds. This de.
votion was not merely sentimental, but IL
was given practical turn by instructing
the delegation To Chicago to vote as unit
and ITO use all honorable means to nomi-
nate for President the man who is himself
the embodiment and the guarantee of
sound Democratic nciples-Grover
Cleveland
The delegation to Chicago was instructed
TO vote as Il unit on all subjects and candi-
dates, when and as the majority of the
delegation may direct.
Referring to the national convention at
Chicago, and the consideration of tine
name Of Mr.. Cleveland, General Il. S.
Bragg said:
The people love Mr.. Cleveland because
they know they can trust him. What he
says that will lie do, with iron Nil and
strictest integrity, no matter who stands at
tile door. Mr.. Cleveland's friends may
meet at Chicago with strong and serious
opposition from certain quarters, but am
one of those who believe the Democratic
party and principles are greater than the
wishes Of any state or any section of the
union. | have lived SO long on the broad
prairics Of the west that have learned to
forget the old New York idea that the sun
rises in Sandy Hook and sets in Lake Erie.

York, but will demand denomination of
Grover Cleveland of the United States. II
New York does not appreciate the honor,
so much the worse for New York"
