force a national issue which wonid APP
peal to the Judgment OF the people. we
must honor man who is honest enough
and bold enough under such clrcum-
stances TO proclaim that the success
of the party upon principle Is bet-
ter than evasion or Sinking OF the
true national issue for temporary
success. When victory il Obtained upon
principle it forms the solid ioIIda-
ton of party success in the future. It's
no longer the question OF baltic to he

and this great body OF representative
Democrats have seen Its good re-

MORE CLEVELAND ENTHUSIASM.
Governor Albeit proceeded without
receiving more than mild applause until
he reached that portion OF his address
where he said " If there was any doubt
existing in my mind OF the result OF this
national contest. | would not urge on
behalf Of nv State the views of its De-
mocracy in favor of Mr. Cleveland. ~
The mention Of the name Of the sage
Of Buzzard's Bay was the signal for
thunder of cheers. Tho men and women
who througed the great galleries waved
fans, umbrellas and banners. Many OF the
State delegates arose. and standing on
their chairs joined IN the great volume
of enthusiasm which seemed to possess
the multitude. The Alabama delega-
ton hoisted n Cleveland portrait on the
end Of an umbrella, which was the sig
nal for renewed cheers.
ALMOST a FIGHT WITH NEW YORK.
An alternate for one of the Michigan
delegates attempted to carry the Cleye-
land banner, winch had once before to-
day aroused such enthusiasm, over into
the New York delegation. He sought
to enter at the end of the row of seats
where General Sickles sat. Great eX-
element prevailed when General
Sickles resisted the intrusion aad
pushed back the offending alternate. \
personal encounter was only ayerted by
the prompt action OF a number OF Michl-
gan delegates who rushed 10 the scene
and compelled the bearer Of the Cleye-
land banner to move away.
WILD EXCITEMENT.
All over the hall, but principally
among the audience, men and women
were wild with excitement. After about
eight minutes of pandemonium the
Chair thought it was about time TO take
hand in the disturbance, but nobody
paid any attention to HIM.

a few voices raised rythmlcal shout.
which soon swelled INTO a great volume
of sound to the tune Of " Grover Cleye-
land" \ number of delegates joined IN
the chorus and thousands Of musical
feet beat time to the new political
slogan.
GREAT HILL BOOM.
After time Governor Albeit proceed
ed. but when he alluded to Senator Hill
there was an outburst of enthusiasm
from the New York delegation. The
tumult was communicated 10 the gal
leries and 10 the platform Of the chair
man Of the convention, upon which
were seated many hundreds OF distin-
guished visitors.
DR.. Mary Walker created a diversion
in favor of Hill byarising at the back Of
the platform upon an elevated seat and
raising her handkerchief. shouting for

THE HILLITES.
Unlike when Cleveland's boom was on
and the New York delegation remained
glum and silent, now, under the iuspira-
ton of Hill, they rose in their seats and
waved everything they could lay their
hands on. General Sicklcsraised on the
end Of his crutch a portrait Of Hill. and
great swell OF wells spread over the hall.
Other portraits of Hill were produced,
and there was n determination evident
on the part OF the Hill men to equal the
Cleveland demonstration not only IN
time, but in quantity OF noise.

Among the delegates from New York
who were the loudest and most vigorous
in their demonstrations were Delaney Nj

had time had come, and mounting a
chair he raised his stentorlan voice III aid

commenced President Wilson began
rapping with his gavel, but succeeded
only in increasing the awful uproar.
General Sickles, still holding on bis
crutch the portrait Of Hill. delegated
that duty to a young man OF eXtraordl-
nary stature, who jumped on chair
and held the picture as high as he could.
A CLEVELAND PICTURE DESTROYED.
Mr.. Frederick opp, Of Texas, ap-
peared in the midst of the confusion
with a Cleveland portrait, which he
waved defantly above his head. Some
one rolled newspaper into Il bail and
threw it at Mr.. Opp, who lodged, still
continuing his performance Finally, a
