Every Democrat to Wheel Into Line
and Work for Success-Republicans
Admit That They Will Have a Hard
Fight to Avoid Defeat-Clevelaudt the
Candidate OF the People and the
Strongest Man That Gould Have
Been Nominated-Falling Electric
Lights Cause Panic in the Conven-
tion.
CHICAGO, June 23.-Cleveland and
Stevenson, both nominated on the first bal
lot. are the candidates for President and
Vice President presented to the country by
the democratic national convention to-day.
Mr.. Cleveland, an ex-Presidenr Of the
United States, is the first man to be thrice
nominated for the presidency.
Adlai Ewing Stevenson Of Illinois, First
Assistant Postmaster General under Presi-
dent Cleveland, after having thrice repre-
sented a strong republican district in oon'
gIess, is now successfully practising law at
his home in Bloomington. He was chair
man of the Illinois delegation in thepresent
convention.
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination, made In
response to the strong desire of the rank and
file of the party, and in opposition to the
wishes of most Of the party leaders, some Of
them on personal and some on political
grounds, was almost a foregone conclusion
in spite of the desperate efforts of the oppo-
sition, led by Edward Murphy, Jr., Of New
York, aided by Tammany Hall and the rest
of the New York delegation, and on yester-
day by the first lieutenant OF tSpesker Crisp,
Representative Catchings OF Mississippi,
who came here bringing Senator HilPs last
appeals and last plans, and who so rein
vigorated the opposition by the south-
ern support he won to it as
TO nerve it to make the ell day and all night
tight for delay which threatened the noml-
nation of MIR. Cleveland.
BRICE's OPPOSITION.
The chairman of the national committee,
who opposed Mr. Cleveland very much as
Chairman Clarkson did President Harrison
at Minneapolis, and who comes out of this
convention as much discredited as Chair
mau Clarkson, resisted Mr.. Clevelsnd's
nomination TO the last but was too sensible
TO allow the Ohio delegation to follow the
sulking fashion shown by Edward
Murphy and the New York delegation in
opposition to the advice Of Richard
Crocker.
William C. Whitney deserves all the
credit he is receiving for the superior gen
eralship with which be overcome the oppo-
sition to Mr.. Cleveland's nomination, bitter
and belligerent as it was and su otle and in-
siduous as were its alliances He drew Sem
atOr German and ex. Representative Nor
rlson out Of the race, and this left the oppo-
sition no candidate with whom the could
succeed. lie pursuaded they ants Of the
Syracuse convention to make no serious
contest. He organized and directed
the Cleveland forces in mastery
style. He gives the credit to others.
TO William f. Harrity of Pennsylvania,
chief lieutenant and his choice for chairman
Of the national committee aud manager Of
the Cleveland campaign; to ex-Secretary
Villas of Wisconsin, eX-Postmaster General
DICKINSON of Michigan and to others who
aided, but they all acknowledged his lead
ership. The extraordinary session Of last
night, as stormy within as it was without
the wretched wigwam, with the
opposition hopeful and aggressive,
the galleries packed with Tammany
followers, furnishing good reasons for
adopting the reform and excluding the mob
from national conventions proposed by
Patrick Collins to-day, and buried in the
national committee during the incipient
panic over the fallen electric lamp. tried ex-
Secretary Whitney's powers fully. and
proved them most admirable by the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland on the first ballot.
HOW WHITNEY SPENT THE NIGHT.
1t was refreshing, amid all the heat and
vet and noise and weariness OF the long
night, to look up behind the chairman,
where Mr.. Whitney sat, as suaVe and smil-
Ing as ever, calmly directing the move~
ments of his heutenants on the floor and
awaiting the results, which came so Ger
talnly with tha dewning of the day, at an
hour half day earlier than that at which
any nominee for the presidency was ever
nominated But, without disparagement
4 to Mr.. Whitney's mastery management, it
must be said that its chief value and inn
portance was in giving opportunity for the
expression of the popular will.
NOMINATED BY THE PEOPLE.
The people nominated Grover Cleveland
A literally and against the cries of the poll
tlcans as class Many of the delegates
5%ho voted for Mr.. Cleveland last night
&dld SO solely because they did not dare go
zhome to their constituents after having
voted for anybody else. Mauy Of them
8had honest msgivings as to his availabil-
llty as u candidate owing to their dstrust OF
us opponents in New York, but they said:
II The people want Cleveland and we must
give him to them."
III Now that he has been nominated and they
Pave heard from the country on the nomi-
patton many of them admit that they were
wrong and the people right and that Mr..
Cieyeland was the strongest man to nomi-
pate. ''If we cannot elect Mr.. Cleveland
NSe cannot elect anybody" is the common
Ford tonight.
TAMMANY'S ATTITUDE.
Richard Croker, who has acted through
tut the contest more manfully and sensbly
tnan the other New York opponents Of Mr..
lleVeland, pledges the support OF Tam
hany Hall as though he meant it, He un-
erstands that the Cleveland democracy OF
Hew York has paralleled his Organization
the city and Chairman Murphy's in the
tate, and will watch as well as fight
hairman Murphy is still unreconciled and
ost OF the anti-Clevelanders are very sore
ia savage. But for very selhshness they
ust prove faithful to the ticket this time,
