CHICAGO, June 2S.-A band that has been the
accompaniment of so many national conren-
tions that it may well claim all the exemptions
and considerations Of a yeteran startled the
20. 600 people in the national democratic con-
ventien at O'Clock last night by the sif Of
I'VE Won't Go Home Till Morning"
There was no particular occasion for sudh q
suggestive refrain at that time, except thaI the
convention was ln the depth of a labvrinth Of
! confusion, but the results show that the sairit
! Of prophecy which had seized the leader of that
band was woll justified by the events that fol-
/ lowed.
The heavens were suffused with the yellow
| light Of day when Chairman Wilson AT last de-
clared the convention adjourned. and the
thousands of democrats filed out of the haIl
shouting for Grover Cleveland. the more ex-
uberant, as they looked in the direction " the
rising sun. declared that the hours Of sleep
had passed Aud SO indeed they had not ssuly
! for victorious element but for everybody silse.
for the streets have echoed with ceaseless chsers
for Grover Cleveland since his nominaiion
was declared unanimously this morning.
Tammany was defiant % the end. The
greatest orator OF it's organization brought
| forward at the last moment. and a. he hufled
the greatest political philippe Of the age INTO
the very teeth q his opponents the thousands
/ OF Cleveland enthusiasts were conquered into
admiration for his courage, and no orator Of
the national convention of 1892 received more
respectful consideration than was accorded 20

HUNGRY DELEoArEs.
Most of the delegates did not get 10 bed until
nearly O'Clock, after yainly searching for some
thing to eat before retiring after the nine
hours continuous session. The first and raost
credtable feature of the situation 10 attraci at
| tention Is the absence Of outward demonatra-
tions Of enthusiasm.
But while there is no visible enthusiasm over
the nomination there il also an absence of upen
protestations of discomfort The Tammany
leaders stand by the pledges which Bourke
Cochran gave for them and make no
threats Of boiling the ticket. They repeat their
ominous warning TO that silent democia atic
vote which no machine can control and wlsich
they say they fear will fail 10 be recorded for
Cleveland in November. but they disclaim any
purpose Of actively interfering to bring about
| the result.
Mr. Cieveiauds friends on the other hand re-
peat their assurance that the nominatioa of
their chief will bring 10 the ticket in New ork
more strength than il possibly give away,
and they claim that there states in the nOfth-
| west which Cleveland can carry and no one else
could for the democratic party.
THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
There is a strange absence Of any speculation
as to the nomination for Vice President. IL ap-
pears TO be accepted that il is 20 90 TO Indisna
and that Gov. Gray II the man. No other
/ name Is ever mentioned with any
! degree OF force. The enthusiasm with wiich
| Indiana moved TO Clevelands support last
night is taken as indicating that there was an
understanding that inasmuch the republi-
cans had chosen their standard bearers fem
| Indiana and New York their opponents shoald
also recognize the fact that these will be The
pivotal states in the contest by taking their
leaders from those states also, only in reversed
order-New York and Indiana.
Some favorite Sons will probably be placed in
nomination for the vice presidency by other
states and will receive the complimentary votes
of their states. Michigan, for example. through
Mr.. Z. L. Uhl, will nominate Benjamin Morse.
But the accepted conclusion is that the ticket
will stand '.Grover Cleveland Of New York Ind
Isaac p. Gray Of Indiana"
ECHOES OF LAST SIGHr's FIGHT.
The echoes of the remarkable and successful
fight made in open convention by the pro-
nounced free trade wing of the tariff reformsrs
on the tariff plank of the platform have not
yet died away.
Meals tersely worded and unequivocal declasa-
ton Will bring strength 30 the ticket in that
section Of the country. but eastern men express
apprehension that il will cause loss Of votes in
the manufacturing centers and they think the
adoption Of what Henry Watterson called The
straddle Of 1854" would have been more dis
Greet.
The silver men profess some disgruntlsmsut
at the failure 10 secure a more definite endorse
ment OF free coinage, and they have called Q
meeting for ! O'Clock. II is believed, however,
by those in their counsels that the
silver men in the democracy camp yfll
follow the example set by Teller and otler
silver advocates in the republican ranks ~
Minneapolis and say that while the platform h
not Just what they wanted yet il indicates sons
advance in the right direction and b fairly sats-
factory.
