New York, June 23.-TSpecial Now
that the nomination is made there is no
doubt that the Democratic machine will
set to work for Cleveland, and Senator
Hill will be at the head and front of the
Democratic campaign in this State.
Cleveland has had the lead so long that
most of the Democrats have discounted
the effect of his nomination, and it is
very likely that outside of the large cit
les there will be no st rious Democratic
OBJECTIONS.
The defeat of the anti Cleveland men
is already charged to Arthur Z. German.
Had he remained with the minority,
they say, more than their necessary 900
would have been found and Tammany
and the New York Demo cracy would be
feeling brighter and happier this even
ing. Very few persons in this city
knew that Grover Cleveland had been
chosen as the standard bearer of the
Democratic party when they started for
their places of business this morning
The latest reports in the morning papers
told only of the nominating speeches
and 1t was generally supposed that the
first ballot would not be taken till this
afternoon. The first news that New
Workers generally had of the nomina-
ton came from newspaper bulletin
boards and early morning extra editions
of the .pers, which they obtained down
town.
There was apparently no great ex-
element, because the news had been
discounted by reports from Chicago dur
ing the past three days Since Tuesds y
night Cleveland's nomination has been
regarded as an absolute certainty, and
nearly everybody this morning had the
pleasure of saying to everybody he met,
~ told you So" No ono laid claim to
remarkable prophetic powers for pre-
dieting the nomination. There was
much satisfaction expressed by the
members of the New York stock ex-
change as they gathered in "bull.ring"
this morning and exchanged views on
the political situation. The Democrats
gathered in little groups and vented
their enthusiasm in cheers and ca calls,
and the Republicans confessed that the
issue was made and they had hard bat
tie to fight, while the Independents,
men who sustained Cleveland four
and eight years ago, beamed with happi-
ness.
All agreed, Democrats, Independents
and Republicans alike, that Cleveland
was the strongest business mems can
didate that could have been named, and
the effect of his nomination was shown
by strong opening of market. Repre-
sentatives in Wall street OF foreign
houses declared that the nomination
would restore European confidence and
greatly strengthen American securities.
In the first hour OF business initiatory
steps were taken for the organization of
Cleveland club in the stock exchange,
and call for meeting for that pur-
pose was issued by FL. II. Hart. The
meeting will be held at 800 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon at the office OF C. |.
Hudson & Co.. 50 Wall street.
AT the hotels groups gathered in the
lobbies and talked about Cleveland's
prospects of election. One very no.

ed. They have all along feared his
success at Chicago, for they regarded
him as the one Democrat who would
endanger the Republican victory. Ex-
Senator Warner Miller was taking an
after breakfast walk in the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel corridor, when asked
"nat ne thought OF the action
of the Democratic convention.
II believe" he replied, that
Cleveland is the strongest man they
could have pitted against Harrison. He
is the representative of the presen.

several of the smaller politicians who
hang around the Fifth Avenue Hotel
corridors whenever political news is
going about, echoed the sentiments ex.
pressed by the big men. A remarkable
thing about it all is that after former
Z esidcntial conventions the candidates
named have been usually pronounced
