Jewett was far from hilarious, while Muir
dock, Lamb and Doherty were disposed to
be sarcastic. Brother Mofss was the best
pleased man in the outfit, and his face was

LAMB wITHpRAws GRAY.
John +. Lamb took the floor as soon as
the meeting was called to order, and. In q
voice laden with sarcasm, said:
''Mr. President, and Gentiemen-The ma
jority of the IndIapa delegation to this
convention came here IN the belief that in
the condition of affairs Indiana stood fair
chance to secure the nomination of Isaac p.
Gray. We have submitted our views to
the minority of the delegation. and have
done what we could in the interest
an Indiana candidate and to secure hsr.
mony in the delegation. We have failed to
convince the minority that the views Of
the Majority should be adopted, and we
have. therefore, agreed to 60 to the mi.
nority in order that harmony and unity
may prevail. /, therefore, move that the
Indiana delegation vote AS unit for Gro
YER Cleveland as our nominee for Presi-
dent of the United States. and that the
chairman of the delegation be instructed TO
act accordingly"
The motion was adopted. the funeral
baked meats were produced, and Isaac
Pusey's cold corpse slowed away in the
graveyard of editors Morss and Shanklin.
Twenty minutes later sx.Secretary Whit
ney sent the following telegram to Hon.
Grover Cleveland. Buzzard's Bay, Mass"
Indiana has instructed it's chairman to
cast the vote of the delegates tor you.
This is tho first breakup. Unless some
thing serious should occur you will be nom
mated on the first roll-call."
THE CIEvELAD CROWD TICKLEp.
The Cleveland crowd were delighted with
the news of Indiana's action, and the great
est show of confidence was made. "Gip
Shanklin was unspeakAbly happy. and the
Gray Club promptly gave an order for
general parade, which was made immedi-
ately after supper. Tom" Taggart and
Ed Hnwkins, smiling and happy, said:
This settles it: it's Cleveland and Gray be-
yond a doubt"
One of the present Democratic Indiana
State officers. who has been renominated
this year, in company with prominent
Indiana politician. met me on Monroe
street, both mad as hornets and cursing the
fool party for what it is about to do. Said
the State officer. This is the - piece
of butchery l ever saw. We can no
moro elect Grover Clev nd than we cou Id
q wooden man. His nomination is certain
and his defeat just as much so." Then re-
membering my newspaper connection. he
added hastily: IL mado that remark to
you personally, and / must not be quoted.
You know it would ruin me for that to ap-
pear In PRINT"
Ipromised to Withhold his name, and do
so. but quote his language exactly.
TAMMANY BRAVES ENRAGED.
The maddest set of people in Chicago are
the Tammany people, and they are cursing 2
Indians's action roundly. To-day they
have been busy as nailers, and Governor
Flower has himself headed a missionary
party that has been laborlng with the var
ious delegations In the Mississippi head
quarters he said In the course of his argu.
ment: Il am the Governor Of the State of
New York. elected by $4,000 majority, and
think am qualified % pnak for the De-
mocracy of that State, and 1 tell
not carry It. If you can win without New
York. well and good. Nominate him. but
if you really want the electoral vote of
that State, choose another candidate"
Mr.. Sherman, of the jamestown Tllden
Club, took exceptions to Governor Flowers
remarks and said that Cleveland's 8 influence
had carried the State for Flower at the last
election. The Tammany people regard this
as the Joke of the convention.
Seriously, everyone except the Tam
manyites and tho crowd from the silver
States comedies the nomination of Cleve-
land, and even Tammapy admits it within
its own circles. The one question now to
be decided IS that Of the vice-presidenoy.
Governor Boies could have it for the ask
ing. but he does not want 1t That is au.
thentio.
OUR UNCLE ISAAC AFTER TRI PIE.
As for your Uncle Isaac" ah that is q
different matter. Would he take iti Did
he over refuse anythingi Does he want iti
Does any one know of any thing Isaac has
permitted to 60 without claimant. If II
was found lying around loosei When
Isaac can't get terrapin, tripe will do, and
he Ia now after tripe.
asked Senator Voorhees, this evening,
If any compact had been entered into be-
tween Gray's friends and the Cleveland
manaRers looking to giving him second
place.
None that know replied the Senator.
''If Mr.. Clevelauds friends think il would
be good politics to put Gray on the ticket
they may do SO, but am not going into
any fight for second place."
Another member of the delegation. and
one who has been o leader of the Gray
wing. said to me: "You can say positively
that the ticket will be Cleveland and Gray.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends have assured us
they will give him second place, and tn at
accounts for our action of this afternoon" )"
This man, whom Senator Voorhees,
knows quite well. Pm sure. seemed to
speak with authority. There Ia q good
deal of talk of this kind tonight and
wouldi not be surprised to see the ticket
tailed Oft with the much buffeted name OF
Gray" Keep your eye on Uncle
Isaac. l was about to say that
