VIII be nominated for President Of III,
United States in the Democratic Nationa
convention upon the first ballot.
lho night Is over 1t was really over be
lore the convention began to come IN
gether and the slight opposition that Ii,
| cleveland host has encountered has pon,
down before the resistless sweep of a tidt
OF popularity, the like of which has never
characterized a Democratic convention.
Isaac I. Gray of Indiana, will un,
douptedly be nominated for Vice-presi
gent. The nomination may be DISPUTED
but 1t is altogether probable that the
action OF Indiana in deciding not Il
| present Gray for the Presidency aud Ia
| give Cleveland the solid vote of that state
VIII make him AN easy winner of the
place.
| There was time when 1t might have
been Morrlson, but Illinois has kept up its
factional fight until it is now scarcely
| probable that either Morrison or Palmer
can be nominated.
Iammany Hall takes the situation with
, calm philosophy born of experience and
strict discipline The regular stute dcleyn-
ton. still stands to its Instructions. Not
until DAVID Is. Hill releases them will they
consider themselves at liberty to vote for
another candidate.
II Mr.. Hill desires TO see Just how many
or how few votes he can get. he may be
gratfiod by the returns II is scarcely
probable that he will have as many votes
as Blaine received in the convention at
Minneapolis.
A plan was offered by New Jersey in n
meeting to-day for the New York Hill
delegates TO come into the procession for
Cleveland. Resolutions were adopted ex-
pressing the Gesire of New Jersey. Demo-
cratic representatives in the convention
that the states of New Jersey, Connecticut
anu New York should unite in supporting
the candidacy OF Grover Cleveland, with
the assurance that his nomination was
essential TO secure the electoral votes of
those three states.
Connecticut failed to approve the reso-
lutlons,, evidently regarding il as GER
tainty that New York would in due time
give its votes to Cleveland.
The Syracuse delegation has presented
It's list of delegates to the national com
Inittee with request for seats in the con-
vention and for an open hearing before
the committee on credentials. The national
committee has listed the regular delegation
and referred the contestants 20 the com
mlttee on credentials when appointed.
Inc regulars Will probably hold their
seats. The Syracuse delegation rather ex-
poets that result. Whilethe professors are
not as well pleased as they would be if
they We're admitted TO share in the work
OF nominating Cleveland, they are sure that
they have contributed TO result that will
be satisfactory in the end to the Demo
cratic party.
Chicago has about gone wild over the
prospect of Cleveland's nomination. Tho
streets have been crowded with people
who Joined in the cheers of marching
bodies of visiting Democrats. The en-
thusiasm IS III striking contrast to the
apathy and comparative silence at Mime
apolis following the nomination of the
Republican ticket
The cheers came from the heart. too
that ~ plain. No such demonstration
could DO manufactured. 1t has depth of
premise.
a Republican-of course Blaine man
salh tonight: "Cleveland's nomination
means that Illinois will give It's electoral
vote to the Democrats and that Altgeldt
will defeat Joe Filter for the governorship."
MI. Watterson will have the pleasure of
putting his friend W. c. Owens in the
CHAIR at the convention tomorrow.
The Cleveland men have Just concluded
that the permanent chairman shall be the
Hon. W. l.. Wilson of West Virginia, "a
