FRESNO, May 1S.-Bsrney Murphy took
q sudden switch to-day and actually used
the name of Cleveland once.
He also referred to a gentleman named
"Loche," who was not exactly good
Democrat, but who answered just as we'll
for the purpose. No one in the convention
seemed to know just who Mr.. Lochiel was,
but the cheers which followed the mention
of his name showed that the hearts Of the
delegates were all right, no matter what
might be said OF their heads.
Mr.. Loehiel was evidently great favorite,
especially in the Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-ninth districts of San Francisco,
and seemed to be friend Of Sam Braun
hardt, who yelled himself hoarse over the
reference.
Mr.. MurDhys mention Of Cleveland was
merely incidental, and the cheers were not
so deafeninG quite as those for Mr.. L3chiel,
but they were good, lusty howls just the
same. and when the chairman waved hls

of the convention. Their fears were
not allayed, either, by the failure OF
Chairman Murphy to ailude to Cleveland in
his speech on taking the chair. But to-day
the evident fairness Of the committees ap-
pointed by him, and his ringing speech for
Cleveland on being elected permanent
chairman, eased the troubled hearts of the
Cleveland men. Still they were de-
termined to compel the strongest sort Of
an Endorsement for Grover or else
to make things very unpleasant for their
opponents, but when the platform was re-
ported it appeared that nearly all they had
asked had been freely conceded. The
national delegates were not to be
instructed for Cleveland, it is true.
but the resolution indorsing him could
hardly have been cOuched in stronger
language. Moreover, every prominent dele
gate suspected of anti Cleveland senti-
ments felt called upon to explain that he
was really a friend to that gentleman
and would certainly support him if his
election seemed possible. Altogether. the
Cleveland men seem to be thoroughly
satisfied and eight out of II district dele
gates so far chosen have been instructed
for Cleveland.
The railroad plank caused the only im-
pOrtant debate on the floor. Stephen NJ
