oratory. AS the hour approached mid
night the galleries became n hootinc
mob. and many Of the delegates were
thoroughly disguised.
Mr.. HIS name had been placed be,
fore the convention, and every person
In the hall knew his nomination was
to be seconded by W. Bourke Cochran
of New York. Mr.. Cockran's fame rs
an orator had preceded him. The
crowd wanted to hear him and nobody
else. SO did most of the delegates.
Many of the ablest speakers in the
Democratic party were hooted down
without an opportunity to speak two
sentences.
Finally, at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing of the next day, Mr.. Cochran faced
his audience. The convention had been
in session at least ten hours. The hu-
mildly was even greater than 1T had
been in the earlier hours of the session.
Every person in the hall was tired, and
most OF them were hungry. A more in
suspicious moment for Mr.. Cockran's
effort could not have been selected. He
began slowly, but his voice could D.,
heard in every part OF the hall. The
crowd at once became interested.
There were several outbursts of ap.
plause.
The Cleveland men were waiting. At
the first mention Of his name by the
speaker they evidently intended to
make Mr.. Cochran feel as uncomfort-
able as Mr.. Depew did when inter
rupted in his speech at Minneapolis.
Finally the moment came. Grover
Cleveland" said Mr.. Cochran, but that
was all he did say. Led by Don NJ.
Dickinson OF Michigan, the delegates
started the cheering. Grover, Grover!
Four years more of Grover! woke up
the crowd. Delegates marched up and
down the aisles waving the standards
of their states, and twenty-six min
utes elapsed before the tumult ceased
Meantime Mr. Cochran stood on the
platform, the least perturbed person
in the hall apparently. He took a
drink Of water, chatted with the chair
man and other men on the platform
and watched the proceedings with a
sort of amused smile. When the con-
vention became exhausted he resumed:
Grover Cleveland is a popular
man
Again the cheering was taken up.
and this time it continued for eight
minutes. 1t was maintained that long
by plainly forced efforts Of the Cleve-
land leaders. Utterly tagged out, dele
gates and spectators sat down. and
Mr.. Cochran went on.
Il repeat, gentlemen, Grover Cleve-
land is a very popular man every day
in the year except one, and that is
election day"
Again the speaker was interrupted.
This time laughter was mingled with
the cheers, but Mr.. Cleveland was
nominated about o'clock in the morn

Van Vert, O.. May 27-Richmond
defeated Van Vert this morning in the
most sensational. hair-raising game ev-
er seen in this city. Each team is
charged with several errors. but they
did not cut any figure in the result of
the game. The feature of the contest
was a brilliant triple play executed by
Bambaugh, Jessep and Cameron in the
last half of the ninth inning, which
saved the Quakers from defeat.
This was the first triple play Of the
season in the 10. league and it was
most unusual one. Durham started
the Van Vert rally with single and
was advanced to second on GregOr's
safe bent. Carmony then singled,
sending Durham home kiel went to

who made perfect assist to first, but
Cameron dropped the throw. This

BY a quick throw to first Jessup
caught Conklin at first. On this play
Carrnony attempted to score, but Cam
eron, by a quick return to Jessup,
caught Carmony at the plate, thus
completing the triple play.
Bauman and Durham hit like fiends
in this contest. Each one of them Sc

Bambaugh had ten chances at third
and he took everyone of them without
a wobble. Tomorrow afternoon the

The condemnation of the Phillips
theater at Richmond is but the first
step Of the state factory inspector in a
crusade against fire traps over the
state. He does not consider the Phil
lips theater a fire trap as a building,
but does consider it as such for the
purpose for which it is being used. He
has his eye on several other theaters
over the state and will take summary
action in their cases as soon as the
full information is brought to hand
by his deputies. There are some six
ty theaters in the state that will come
in for a close inspection, and it is safe
to say that in practically every case
alterations will be ordered.
