After the vote had been taken in the
Chicago convention yesterday morning,
Senator DANIEL of Virginia, who had beeu
one of the foremost opponents OF the
nominee, promptly moved to make the
nomination of CLEVELAND unanimous.
This motion carried. with, as the Asso-
ciated Press report says, some half dozen
dissenting voices, which camo from the Vi
cinity Of the New York delegation. Mr.
BouKkE COCHRAN thereupon arose and
stated 10 The convention that the delega-
lion agreed by full vote TO sustain
the motion, aud that there was no opposi-
tion in that quarter.
No doubt there is some soreness among
the members and friends OF the Tammany
society over Mr.. CLEvELAED's selection In
preference to the gentleman whom the
party organization of New York had
named but this will soon disappear, and
long before the election the Democracy
will present united front to the Repub-
lican candidates and the wheel-horses will
be ct work with will for the
entire ticket. Indeed there is ample
reason for cooperation between the
different elements of the Democracy. Re
venge or retaliation is dangerous game,
and it is not usually single-handed one.
A fight against TammGny in the mayoralty
contest this fall is not what the big chiefs
are melting. Mr. CROKER would find it
heavy price to give for antagonizing a mau
to whom he personally has no objection.
Besides. it is pretty certain CLEVELAND
would win without the support of Tam
many, in which event tue County De-
mocracy would be revived, and be a strong
menace to the very existence of the society
of Tammany Hsll.
The Democratic party Of New York hav
ing shown its ability to carry the state by
at least $4,000 majority, failure this fall
would be directly chargeabe TO Tammany,
and this is a penalty that great power is
not prepared to pay. Should, by any for
tune, CLEVELAND lose the state it would be
q long time before New York could enter g
national convention with candidate for
the presidential ticket and be received with
any showing of graciousness. But there
will be no failure The future salvation
of the Democratic leaders will, IS has been
said, depend upon their loyal support OF
the Chicago nominee. On the subject of
I CLEvxLAND's prospects in New York the

cal that we copy it here as giving solid rea-

CLEVELAND is stronger with the non-partisar

their vote with HARRISON. He has been trieC

CLEVELAND would get thousands of independ

If the convention shall have the courage G
its preferences and nominate Mr.. CLEvELANI
the World believes that he will have the larges
vote ever cast for Democratic candidate i
this state. We said this in 1884, and the elet
ton sustained our opinion. We did not say
in 1888, because the circumstances did not wal
rant it. we say it now to reassure any wit
whom doubt may lnger at Chicago.
CLEVELAND can win.
