mentioned the name of Boies as the candi-
date of Iowa the whole delegation jumped
upon the chairs, and sent up a yell, fol-
lowed by South Carolina, Mississippi,
New York and Texas. The Boies boom
mad nothing like the dimensions of the
Cleveland and Hill demonstrations. 1t

ond the nomination of Horace BoleS OF
Iowa, and bear testimony to the truth OF
all that has been said of him by his
friends and neighbors. He represents a
section to which henceforward the Demo-
cratic party must look for generous IN
SEPARATION and increasing maJorltes.
Thrice he led the legions OF Democracy to
victory in a Republican stronghold, and
If he be chosen by the convention to

dress myself to the entire democracy.
To-day we have several candidates, but
tomorrow we shall have but one, and
upon whomsever your choice falls | be-
lieve that the unit of the Democracy will
see that he bears the title of President OF
the United States; and among them all

viii find ninety-nine men out OF nun
dred will ask you to give them chance
to right wrong and rectity mistake

Sf0U Three Cheers III IL DOuy.
William L. Hensel of Pennsylvania, in

100000 Democrats sent her representa-
tives here to make no demands, seeking
only the selection of such men and the

Of the country. They anticipate the ex-

The crowd grew tired ofspeeches in the
early morning, and interrupted them
with cat-calls and disorder.
Cochran of New York declared their
conduct outrageous, and said if New
York could not have hearing in the
convention he would leave it.
A motion that the Sergeant-at-Arms,
with a sufficient police force, clear the
gallery, was, received with applause, and
seconded amid indescribable confusion.
The confusion continued, the alsleS being
crowded with persons improperly adj
mitted.
Cochran asked that motion for adj
journment be put.
The Chairman refused to entertain it.
John Goode of Virginia seconded the
nomination of Cleveland.
J. d. Smiley of Washington seconded
Cleveland, as did q. +. Martin and John
j. Davis of West Virginia and Summerell
of Wisconsin.
ST. Clair of West Virginia seconded
Hill as the winner.
This closed the roll call, and Cochran of
New York arose to make statement for
New York protesting against Cleveland:
"Our State is being threatened with an
invasion, the invading force being of our
own political house. My associates in
the delegation asked me to present to the
convention before it proceeds to take final
action upon the great question before it, a
plain, friendly statement Of the political
conditions of our State. l make the
statement in no spirit of unkindness to
anybody. ] have no desire to tind fault
with whatever may be the action of the
convention. I have determined to prom
Use you, in advance of whatever your
wisdom may decide, that the Democracy
of New York could not be dis
loyal if they tried. We come here, and
notwithstanding the fate to which we
are about TO be led, we state to you if
it be decided to cast aside the precedence
of a century, violate every notion of
States rights; if it be determined to
thrust down our Threats a nomination
AGAINST which we protest, there is one
vote in New York which cannot be con-
trolled by political machinery, and that
is not always a mugwump vote. TAP
plause.l
mir. Chairman, it is said there is an in
dependent element that will accept a GER
tain candidacy, and no other; that there
is an element that will accept that candi-
dacv because it is better than the Demo-
cratic party; that he is candidate SUI
perior to the party from which he
springs. If there is anything better than
the Democratic party, want TO see it,
and get into il. / have never known a
Republican that I am not willing to well
come into our party. God forbid that
this party of ours, whose growth is the
hope of the nation, shall close it's doors
against any man who is ready to profess
its faith and enlist in its armies"
Cock ran went on at great length to set
forth the views Of the Hill men. He
said for four years the forces that had
invoked Cleveland's name are men over
whose PROSTATE bodies the Democratic
marty has been compelled to march to
Victory. Cockran's talk was long one,
and the galleries became very tired. Cat
calls and other noises interrupted the
speaker, but in spite of it all-he stuck to
it and finished.
When the roll of States was complete
some delegates moved that the conven-
ton adjourn, but were induced to with
draw it.
The Chairman then decided call roll
for the first ballot, which was done with
the following result:
Alabama Cleveland ii, Morrison 2,
Campbell 2, Hill 2, German l, Boies /.
Arkansas 16.
