American Politics.
The Democratic National Con-
vention met at Chicago Oh June
22d, and got down to nominations
on the afternoon of the second day.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy, w. G.
Whitney, had charge of Cleveland's
fight, and showed himself to be
one of the smartest politicians in
the country. Before the conven-
ton met, he succeeded in getting
all the other candidates except
Hill and Boies to withdraw in favor
of Cleveland. Hill, however,
backed by Tammany Hall, de-
clared himself in the fray to
stay, and his Tammany tigers
stood by him nobly. Their fight
against the man of destiny availed
nothing, although the contest vas
bitter one. The Hill crowd de-
olared that Cleveland could not
carry New York, and that they
would see that he did not if he
were nominated. The nominations
b4gan at s o'clock in the afternoon,
and the convention was pande-
roopiupe nearly all the tinae. HilPs
followers resorts1 to filiiblstering
in all shapes, particularly for an
adjournment and an adjustment
of the unit rule, but Whitney had
his forces too well in charge, and
held the convention till 500 the
following morning, when the first
ballot was completed. Cleveland
was nominated on that ballot, the
result being
