Pr. Bayard late tonight gave the follow
as the result of his observations in

Having been in Chicago but a few
[1rs II is impossible to state with salts
IEory precision the condition of affairs

,flc convention that has been. held by
ifner political party for very long time.
~ as am asked to state impressions as
fiyed from those have met and all that
nave been able to observe, | would say
up positiveness that the nomination Of
cleveland is ioyfully anticipated by
ioH persons, grudgingly conceded BY
thcfs, but sincerely denied by none, or at
aast so nearly none as not to be capable of
uneraiion. There is an obvious and
nquestioned recognition of the grave i'm.
ortance attending the action of the
,enocratic party. The delegates evil
ently realize their responsibility and that
I their party AS being charged with the
nc and custody of the property and
!terties of their fellow-citizens in all sec
l4ls of the Union. This, | believe, will
lHrease in its impresiveness as the con.
Ephon proceeds, and will terminate in
election of Grover Cleveland as the
validate, upon platform in pointed and
porable contradistinction from the
naiing declarations at Minneapolis"
