CHICAGO, June 23.-rJaded, sweaty
and languid, the delegates wandered
into the convention hall for the last
session, a few appearing before 2
o'clock, but the great majority failing
to put in an appearance. until long
after the hour set for the opening of the
proceedings. RI Fsrz
At 2:27 the Gray club, of indianapolis,
with their velvet banner, on which was
inscribed the name OF Indiana's gov
ernor, marched into the hall. preceded
by band playing ''Auld Lang Syne,"
and. were received with great yell
from the delegates present and the
audience. Behind them came tile Hen
bricks club, of indianapolis, the MEM
bers of both clubs hourisling long
white plumes and chanting monde
script air which fitted the words:
"Gray, Gray, Isaac P. Gray"
At 2:45 p. m. Chairman Wilson called
the convention to order. and prayer was
offered by Rev. Thomas. Green, of Iowa,
who ended his efforts with the words ::
"May those who are elected to preside
over the destinies of this great nation
be true to our motto, that public Office
is public trust"
There was an attempt at applause on
the utterance of this famous eplgram
by the throng in the galleries, but the
impropriety was promptly suppressed
by Kisses and cries of "hush'' from the
delegates.
The Gentlemen of the
Convention: The next order of bust
ness of the convention is the nomination
of a candidate for the Office of vice pres

The chair will now direct the clerk to

roll was proceeded with.
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-24

Springer, of Illinois, and the bonds of
friendship between the Empire and
Prairie states were cemented by the
nomination of Adlai Stevenson for vice
president.
When the day opened all was in
doubt as to the selection of candidate
for vice president. Every delegate that
was yesterday identified with the OppO-
sition to Grover Cleveland was found TO
be arrayed in an even more vehement
opposition to the candidacy Of Isaac L.
Gray, of Indiana. There was general
desire on the part of the disconsolates
to wreak
Vengeance on the HOOsfers
for falling into line for Cleveland at the
very time when their opposition would
have given so much comfort and sub
stantial encouragement to those who
had been making frantic endeavors to
prevent the ex-president from getting
the two votes necessary for his nomina-
ton. So it became early manifest that
whatever agreement might have been
entered into by the Cleveland leaders of
New York, Pennsylvania and other
prominent states to give Gray the vice
presidency in return for the support of
Indiana for Cleveland, there was going
to be very determined opposition by the
delegates generally to the consumma-
ton of this programme.
Before daylight the Wisconsin dele
CATION had the lobbies of ali the prin-
cipal hotels placarded with poster
bearing the inscription:
For President-Grover Cleveland. For
Vice President-John L. Mitchell.
1t was at once known that the mill
ionaire congressman of Wisconsin was
candidate for second place. Michigan.
too, suddenly came to the front with a
candidate in the person of the one
armed veteran, Hon. Allan B. Morse, an
eminent jurist of that state.
Springer Begins Work.
1t was at this stage of affairs that
Springer, of Illinois, the distinguished
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee of the national house of repre-
sentatives, determined that the anti
Cleveland men should not be entirely
ignored in the national convention.
Hon. Bourke Cochran, of New York, is
one of Mr.. Springer's most active lieu
tenants on the ways and means commit
tee, and Hon. John r. Fellows and
Gov. Flower and others of the New
York delegation have been the Illinois
congfessIlfan's colleagues in the house of
representatives, so that when the tariff
reformer declared that Stevenson, of
Illinois, should be presented as a vice
presidential candidate, he found the
New York delegation kindly disposed
to give him every cooperation. at the
conference of the New York delegation
held early in the day Mr.. Springer was
present ard announced autho ritively
that Illinois would present Gen, StsY-

carried with about half dozen NOES,
which were greeted with Kisses.
The chair said: The ayes have it

There were loud cries for Flower and
Bourke Cochran, requesting them to
move to make il unanimous.
In response Gov. Flower stood up on

CHICAGO, June 23.-The great con-
vent:on is over-the greatest in the his
tory of the Democratic or any other
political party-and the delegates and
the crowds are en- route Tome to begin
the campaign that will result in a con-
spjcious victory in November.
Altogether it was most remarkable
gathering of the great party and wit
messed scenes never paralelIed in polit-
ical history. Frequently has the mid
night oil been burned over political
eaboIs, but never before in history was
president OF the United States named
just as the great dawn was breaking,
with a ponderous majority of the con-
vention, as evidenced by the ballot. yet
that majority was so carefully and skill
fully handled that the convention was
held all night long through an exciting
tariff contest and over fierce nominal =
Ing war until a nomination was made,
lest one vote should be lost.
A matchIess Campaign.
The Cleveland campaign was handled
with matchless skill by its leaders-sO
handled that while its strength was
kept as unaSsailable as the Anglo
Saxon wedge at Hastings, the power of
the opposition was never permitted to
erystaIlize and concentrate. One break
from the Cleveland phalanX-One weak
spot in that famous wedge - and it
might have been all over with the gal
liant Grover.
Had the faYOTite son campaign been
permitted for an instant to assert itself
the result might have been fatal. Had
Illinois cast her vote for Palmer. or any
part of it, or had Indiana broken away
for Gray. Cleveland could not have
been nominated on the first ballot, and
there would have begun a war not
known to conventions since the IA
nous gathering at Charleston.
Happily this was all averted. The
Cleveland tide set in, and. as night
waHed, its volume grew, and the con-
test of doubt and the curtain of night
were drawn at the same time. and as
the rosy dawn was tiRging the sky the
great roar of applause sweeping over the
city told that the great contest was
over and Cleveland was the nominee.
