echoed with ceaseless cheers for Grover
Cleveland ever since his nomination was
declared unanimous at APO o'clock this
morning.
Tammany was defiant to the end. The
greatest orator of its organization was
marched forth at the last moment and as
he hurled the greatest political phillippic
of the age into the very teeth of his op-
ponents, the thousands of Cleveland
enthusiast is were conquered into admira-
ton for his courage and no orator of the
national convention of 1892 received
more respectful consideration than was
accorded to the Hon. Bourke Cochran of
New York. At the conclusion the vast
hall reverberated with enthusiastic trib-
ute to his grandeur; but the die of des-
tiny had been cast, and the warning of
the eloquent New Yorker was powerless
to check the great tidal wave which 20
minutes later hurled the nomination of a
great national convention at the feet of
Grover Cleveland.

was a vote which could not be controlled
by political machinery, and it was not

said II believe it was the distin-

setts, General Collins, who declared there
was no Democrat in this union that
would vote against that ticket; but there

the State of New York, of whom there

Gen. Sickles rose in his place among
the New York delegation and said, mo,
no, never" There were three cheers and
Kisses heard about the hall and in the
galleries.
When the call of states was finished at
$50 this morning, Mr. Upshur of Mary
land moved that Cleveland's nomination
be made unanimous. Great confusion
prevailed in the hall, people clamoring
for the result of the ballot.
Mr.. Throckmorton of Texas obtained
recognition and changed the vote of that
state to 80 for Cleveland.
The chair announced this, and also
that West Virginia had changed and cast

Then Mr.. Upshur announced that Mary

Mr. Bronson of Kentucky announced

Mr.. Neal of Ohio made few remarks
about the necessity of unity, and was
continuing, II therefore move you, sir,

The motion to make unanimous

principal opponent, Henry Watterson of
Kentucky, to challenge the very friends
