Ctttcago, Jnne 23. fSpeoial. The failure to nominate ex-Governor Gray for vice-presi-dett waj a great surprise to the Indiana delegv tioo, every mtmbtr of which worked earnestly ad loyally for hit Domination. All the Indiaiu delegates, without exception, and all tho Indiana democrat ia town, with three or four exceptions, are greatly disappointed, and their ixpressions of regret are emphatio Bed un lueationab.y sincere. Mr. W. C. W hitney of New York, who wti the chief maustrer of Mr. Cleveland's cam. paign, made no secret of his desire for Got ernor Gray's nomination, and every vote which be could control or influence in the convention as cast for Indiana's ex-goveruor. if Mr. iVhitney could bare had his way tbe ticket rould unquestionably have been Cleveland And Gray. But there were obetaoles in the way bt the recognition to which Governor Gray was clearly entitled which were fnsurmounta. Me. The big Illinois delegation had a can dilate for president in the person f Gen. Bevensen, who was nominated, and its olid forty-eight votes were a power. The II 111- - Tammany delegation was determined to thwart rfr. Whitney's wishes, and when it became . Down that he had pronounced for Governor 3ray, the New Yorkers determined to throw their seventy-two votes to Gen. Stevenon, although the latter had been an active advocate of Cleveland's nomination, and bit statt tad voted as a anit for the ex-pretident in the tonveution. Then Henry Watterson made the efiort of lis life to defeat Governor Gray. Unable to lootrol more than a qurter of the Kentucky lelegation as against Cleveland .Mr. Watreo ii spared no e3ort to bring it solidly into line against Governor j ray. lie found a powerful ally in this interprise in Mr. James Ii. McKenzie, one of .be Kentucky deiegates-at-large and the orator who captured the convention at 4 o'clock this corning with bis inimitable speech seconding Cleveland's nomination, llr. McKenzie is an wn cousin of Gen. Stevenson. and n personal ground made a determined 3ght to secure the latter's nomination. Being a man of almost universal acquaintance and unbounded popularity among: the delegates, especially those from the South, Mr. McKenzie was able, by his personal etlorta, to bring1 many rotes to Stevenson. The Michigan and Wisconsin delegations bad letermined before the convention first assembled to east a complimentary vote for favorite ions the former for Judge Morse of the supreme bench and the latter for Congressman lohn L. Mitchell. They did this with the intention of coming; to Gray on the second ballot and changing to Gray before the result of the first had been announced; but before this program could be carried out, the landslide toward Stevenson set in too strongly to be resisted and Governor Gray's cause was lost. The ex-governor was somewhat handicapped by the fact that many of the delegate, especially from the South, were under a mistaken mpression as to his character and record as a publio man and that the latter's friends did not have sufficient time to remove them. It was reoopoized by some of the clearest beaded men in the convention that it was the part of political wisdom to nominate Gray. He secured the solid vote of New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and aeveral other xnportant northern states, and of Tennessee ind one or two other large southern states. But Stevenson's formidable positive strength with Illinois at bis back supplemental by the Watteraon-Hill combination was invincible. The Boies ere a from Iowa came here entirely possessed of the delusion tbat Governor Boies, wbo was a republican eight years ago, was now democratic presidential potsibi.ity. They were exceedingly bitter ever his defeat, and for some unaccountable reason seemed to nave a special grudge against Indiana on to eount of it. Illinois, Iowa's next door neighbor, cast all of her forty-eight votes for Cleve, land. Indiana east her thirty votes for Cleveland. "Yet the Iowa delegates forgave Illinois and swore vengeance on Indiana. When the vice-presidential battle was on the Iowa war-cry was "anything to beat Gray." So the Iowa vote was cut for Iienry Walterson in acknowledgment of his servioe in seconding the nomination of Boies, and at the first opportunity it was changed to Stevenson. At Watterson'a request Missouri went to Stevenson under the the unit rule. lie is well known and popular in Missouri, and on a pole of the delegation got one more than a majority, whioh gave him the whole thirty-four votes. It will be seen from the above resume of the eontest that the Indiana delegates bad tremendous odds against them, and tbat Governor Gray'a defeat is to be charged to the aecount of . Iienry Watterson and the New York Tarazoanyitee. Gen. Stevenson is a man of fine ability, of polished manners and of great popularity. The Illinois democrats are very jubilant over his nomination atd predict with great confidence that Cleveland and Stevenson will reeeive the twenty-four eleotoral votes of their state. Gen. Stevenson is not identified with either the Morrison or the Palmer factioa, and will unquestionably add great strength to the ticket in Illinois. S. E. M. Chicago, June 33. Special. The platform adentad kr the eonrsnUoa Las bean the

nbjeot of general discussion todsy and meets with almost universal approval among democrats. The action of the convention ia rejecting the tariff straddle and adopting the outspoken tariff reform resolutions introduced by Larry Neal is indorsed by nine ont of tea democrats. The consensus of opinion is that the demoeratia party is a tariff for-revenue-only party or it is nothing, and tbat tbe time has long gone by for any straddles, quibbles or evasions on the subject. Tbe party has shown the full courage of its convictions npon this question and has joined issues directly with the enemy. The decisive majority by which the reactionary plank was ripped out of the platform reported by the majority of the committee on resolutions aud the Neal substitute was adopted ahows that the masses of the party are deeply in earnest and are a good deal braver than their leaders upon tbe tar ill Question. Mr. Charles JL Jewett, the Indiana member of the committee on resolutions, voted in committee for the tariä straddle. The vote of the Indiana delegation upon this matter was not a fair test. All the members followed the reading: of the two resolutions and the discussion closely. On clearly comprehending tbe question at issue there was a feeling that somebow the interesU of Mr. Cleveland were more or less bound up with the fate of the majority report, and that the rejection of tbat report would impair Mr. Cleveland's position before tbe convention. Mr. Moris, however, declared that, anxious as be was for Cleveland's nomination, he would not stultify himself by voting for the tar: It straddle even to make Cleveland the next president. A number of the strongest Cleveland men on the delegation look a similar position. If the naked question had been presented to the delegation uncomplicated by presidential considerations not more than five or six voles would have been east for tbe strad !e. Senator Voorhees was not present when the vote was taken. Murdoek, Lauib, lieggs and Dougherty expressed themselves in favor ot tbe majority report. The others who voted

ADLAI E. STEVENSON.

aye did so either under the ' impression tbat by so doing they were helping Cleveland by hurrying up a ballot or from a neuhiorly desire to siand by Jewett upon the g-ueral rule of supporting the commune. It is sate to say that ninety. nine out of every hundred demoorats in Indiana indorse the action of the couveution in throwing out the straddle. 1'. 11. t'. ClIlCAOo, June 2-S. ihe democracy of the nation natred the presidential candidate, but it remained to Tawueny hall of New York to name tbe candidate for the vice-prenilei.cy . Illinois, the state whose forty-eight votes, at the critical stage, turned the tide in favor of the nomuintion of Grover Cleveland, and Nur York, the state in the (see of whose protest the Kreit popular leader was named for the presidency, ciaiped hai.ds today through the intervention of the Hon. William M. ."pnnger of 11 inois and the bonds of friendship between the Empire and the Prairie states were cetneotad by tbe nomination of Adlai E. Steveuson for vice-pres ueut. When the Jay opened ail was in doubt as to the election of a taudidate tor vice-presiient. Lvery delegate that was yesterday ideutitied with tbe opposition to Grevel Cleveland was found to be arrayed in an even more vehement oppotiticn to the candidacy of Isaao P. Gray of Indiana. There was a general Orsire on the part oi these discoi.solatts to wreak venreaoce on the Indiana delegation for tailing in line for Cleveland at the very tune when their opposition would have given so much oomfort and substantial encouragement to those who had been ma:lii ithi endeavors to prevent the ex-prrsident from getting the two-ihirds vote u?ceiarv for bis nomination. So it became e-rly manifest that, whatever agreement uiight have been entered into by the Cleve. and leaders cf New York, Pennsylvania and other prominent states to give Gray the vice-presidency in return for the support of Indiana for Cleveland, there was coing to be very determined opposition by tbe delegates generally to the consummation of this program. Betöre daylight the Wisconsin delegation had the lobbies of all the principal noieis pasted with placards bearing the inscription: TO PBB&IDK!CT: GROVER CLEVElIsD. roa vica-TatsiDE!T: JOHN' L. MITCHELL, And it was at once known that the millionaire congressman from Wisconsin was a candidate for second place. Michigan suddenly came to tbe front with a candidate in the person of the one-armed veteran the Hon. Alien li. Morse, an eminent jurist of tbat state. It was at this stare of affairs that the Hod. William M. Springer of Illineis, the distinguished chairman of the ways ana means committee of the national house of representatives, determined that tbe antl-Cevsland men should not be entirely ignored in this convention. The Hon.

Springer's most active lieutenants on the ways aud means committee, and the Hon. John R. Fellows and Governor Flower of the New York delegation have been the Illinois congressman's colleaKues in the house of representatives, so that when the tariff reformer delared that tbe Hon. Adlai Meveuson of Illinos should be presented as a vice-presidential caadidate. he found the New York delegation kindly disposed to give him every co-operation. At the conference of the New York delegation held early in the day Mr. Springer waa present aud announced authoritatively that Illinois would present Gen. Stevenson and east its forty-eight votes for him ;or the vice-presidency. What took place at this conference no one knows but when the distinguished con pressman emerged he announced to bis fellowdemocrats of Illinois that the seventy-two votes of New York would be cast for Stevenson and that victory waa assured. . 'i.'ir To the convention at large the intentions of the New York delegation were a secret until that state was readied on the roll caiL Up to that time Stevenson, and Gray were leading with about equal strength and Morse tad Mitchell were following in about the order named. There was a period of almost breathIts? a'.lonce w iien the tistue of New Ycrk was called and the slight hesitancy of tbe delegates in reponding only added to tbe intensity of tl e interest. "New York has seventy-two votes for the Hon. Adiai K. Stevenson of Illinois." said Govtrnur Flower and pande n.oniuru broke lo, in the enikumci that this remark ini sp rt-d from the tbuiisnnds of l:iinoians that thruiig-d tie galleries aud crowded the corj rMer and ailes. I The remainder of the roll ca. 5 was but formal. I Stevenson at on e bean to nicke rapid iiains I and at the conclusion of the roil call t ue state after another requested recognition to ehauge votes to the 111. no..aiu In a few minutes he ihad tbe to-tbirds requisite for nomination and the usual motion t make the nomination unaniruou; prevailed amid the plaud.t of the i gailrrirs aud the wildest enthusiasm on the floor. Gen. Stevenson himself was discreetly absent from tiie floor ot the convention during tbe proci-ediir.'s wt.ich were so vital to him, and his p'ace as the chairman of the Illinois delegation was temporarily filled by one of his col eauus from the Prairie state. The nomiuation of Stevenson has done much to ailay the rancor of the national convention. Although a coiifi.leiii and great admirer of Cleveland, he ja the antithesis of the distinguished Ne . Yorker in his position on the distribution of onVial patronage. Stevenson, as the hret assistant postmaster-general under CleveUnd, made a refutation tor removing republican pustmuRters and appoiutiag democrats which it required all the agility of the lion. James S. Ctarkson of Iowa to rival when President Ilnrrison made that gentleman the assistant postmaster-general under the republican administration. For this reason Gen. Stevenson is exceedingly popular with the very element which is mo-t active in opposition to Cleveland, and the tioaet nominated in 18! '2 is a onoe'sion to both of the great elements into which the civil service theories of these latter days have divided the national democracy. THE LAST SESSION Held in the Rain Bat with Unabated Untfiufeiaam. Jaded, sweaty and languid the delegates wandered into the c invention hall for the last session, a few appearing before 2 o'clock but the great majority failing to put in an appearance until ioug after the hour set for the opening of the proceedings. At 2:27 the Gray club of Indianapolis, with their velvet ban r er, on which waa inscribed the name of Indiana's governor, marched into the ball preceded by a band playing "Auld Lang Syne" and were received with a great yell from the delegates present and the audience. Behind them came the llendrioks club of Indianapolis, tbe members of both clubs flour ishing lon white plumes and chanting a nondescript air which filled the words "Gray, Gray, Isaao P. Gray." At 2:55 p. m. Chairman Wilson called the convention to order and the following prayer was oi.ered by the lie v. Thomas Green of Iowa: W thank Th-e. Alu.ghty God, for this soother dsy vouetiafed to u. We ray that we uiay appraciste ila puuibiHtte sod be true to its responrihililiea, an t we conse to cuilte the wore that Thou bat Ri-en u t do we i-ray miw for Thy direction and guldsnee.

Mv thoe who are to be eltct d to prsside on r the destinies of tht great nation be tru to our motto, thst "i'ubllc office is a public iruU" There waa an attempt at applause at the uttering of this famous epigram by the throng in the galleries, but the impropriety was promptly suppressed by hisses and cries of "bush" from the delegates. The divine continued his Invocation as follows: Msy tby reverence Thee and serve their nation. Msy they rec. ire of Tn hat bsnedictt..n for duty riphtiy done. And ao may the ansl of charity and humanity brood over thi broad isnd and bi'ens It with the kWsnf peace; at.d mav Thy kingdom come and Thy will b done on earth as In heaven; we ask it for Ct ritt's talis.

An Able Effort la Behalf of Indiana's Favorit. When the clerk railed Arkansas Mr. Fordyee stated that Arkansas desired to waive the right to nominate in favor of Indiana. The chairman then introduced the Hon. John E. Lamb of Indiana, wbo said: "When I was elected as a delegate to this convention from my district I hoped to have the honor as well as the pleasure of casting my vote for an honored son of Indiana for tho presidency of the United States. Cheers. But when I arrived at this convention we found tbat a majority had already decided that another than an Indiana man should lead the contest in the coning campaign. Cheers.l We bowed oar heads to their judgment and united with the Cleveland democracy. 'Great applause. "Yesterday Grover Cleveland was the choice of a majority of the democratic party. Today be is the unanimous nominee of the democratio party and tbe question which confronts this convention is who shall it be that will have the honor to hold up the hands and the arms of the candidate who carries the bannt r of the democracy of this campaign. Tremendous cheering and cries of "'Gray," "Gray." Where shall he come from? Cries ot "Indiana," "Iodiana."l New Jersey, God bless her, is always democratic; Connecticut is surely safe and when dawn broke upon us this morning after a night of struggle and of toil the eloquent tongue of the distinguished gentleman irora New York, the Hon. Bourke Cockran, applause whote name I love to honor, told the convention that New York was as rockribbed as Texas for any democrat that could be nominated by this conveution. Applause. Thst being true the thirty-six electoral votes ot New York are solid for that prince of democrats, Grover Cleveland. Applause. "I come from a fctaie which is the center of the political battlefield of the great Went; a state which has given to the history of American politics the immortal name of Thomas A. Hendricks, Loud applause. Whenever the democratic party has listened to its advice, whenever you have honored the state of Indiana with a place upon your ticket, whether it was in the great battle of the fruits of which victory were stolen from us, or in the grand battle of when you had Indiana on your ticket, you had democratic victory enthusiastic cheers, aud now, in behalf of the state whioh has never fa'tered, which has never sulked, which has fought every inch of ground, I desire, npon behalf of the united delegation from Indiana, to ask tbis convention to make fifteen votes in the electoral college certain by placing upon your ticket the name of that honored lender wbo never lost a battle the Hon. Isaac P. Gray. Cheers lot.g and loud. "As to our candidate, he has been tried in the balauce and never, found Gauting. Applause. In the great content ot 181 he carried the state of Indiana for governor by a thousand more votes than Cleveland aud Hendricks. What more can I eay .forhim? The tongue of slander has never been able to pierce his democratio armor. For twenty jean la has fought the battles of democracy. He will tiicht them strain whether upon the tioket or nut. Applause. "But my friends, if thero is a ortainty of fifteen electoral votes for Grover Cleveland and Isaao P. Gray in the state of Indiana, nominate that ticket and we a ill deliver the votes. Great applause. STEVENSON IS NAMED. Mr. WorlhlDtuB Ailoils His Fellow. Clt Zn. When Colorado was reached it yielded its place to Illinois, and Mr. Nicholas E rt'orthington of Illinois advanced to the platform and spoke as follows: "Mr. Ciiaikmam and Feu.ow-Dki.eotes Illinois has presented no presidential candidal to this convention.

Tbe secretary of tbe convention will now oall the roll of states and reoeive the votes of eaofi delegation. When the state of Colorado waa called the ehairman of thst delegation said: "The Colorado delegation wants a candidate for vice-president who esn Uke tbe psrty iu out of the wet. It casts eight votes for Adlai . Stevsnson of Illinois." Loud applause.) Wber. the state of Iowa was called Mr. Shields said: "Iowa casta her twenty votes for a man who needs no introduction to the democrats of the United Slates nor any nlogy in a national democratio convention that democrat of democrats, that peerless son of Kentucky, Col. Henry Watterson. Loud applause. When Kentucky was called there was a consultation between Mr. McKenzie and Chairman Bronstoo, chairman of the state delegation. A member of the Iliinoir delgaiion sitting1 across the aisle urged Mr. iironston to oast the votes of the delegation for Watterion, stating that the Illinois delegation wouid consent to such a vote, as they were "safe." When Minnesota was called the chairman of the delegation said: "The vote of Minnesota is divided, but as we were instructed to vote as a unit, aud the majority being in favor of Isaao P. Gray, Minnesota casts eighteen votes for Isaao P. Gray. Applause. When Missouri was called tbe chairman of that delegation said: "The Missouri delegation was instructed to vote as a unit, but they are unable to give a majority to any one ot these candidates. Therefore each will receive the individual vote as given by the various members of the Missouri delegation." When Montana was reached two new candidates were sprung in the persons of W. ßourke Coohran of New York, who got nioe votes, and Judue Lambert Tree of Illinois, wbo received eighteen. When New York was reaohed and Governor Flower cast seventy-two votes for Stevenson there was tremendous cheers and an evideut attempt to stampede tbe convention for Sieveuson, the Illinois delegation standing up, shouting and waving their hats. The attempt, however, was a failure, for the chair held them down with bis gave I and his voice aud the ebullition subsided. Nick Bell shouted, "Hold on now, boy," and the convention, which acknowledged him as ita real master, settled down into eileuce. North Carolina immediately trailed in with twenty-two for Stevenson, and the yelling was renewed. When the vote of Ohio was announced there wns a fresh attempt to steer the convention into Stevenson's camp, but it was again aet down on by the chairman. The Gray men, who had beeu a little frightened and very subdued, took freth caurar when 1'eiiusylvaiiia was called and Mr. lieusel, after announcing that the individual preferences of tbe members were four tor Mitchell, six for Morse aud seventeen for Steven.nn, said that the balance and a majority of the delegation were fur Gray, and that the vote of the staie would under instructions be cast aa a unit, making sixty-fonr votes for Gray. As tho ballot proceeded it wai evident that thrt two strongest candidates were Gray and Stevenson, and the adherents of each alternated with their yells as their favorite candidate showed up with the highest number of votes from the state delegations. Itbode Island cast her vote for Gray, and the Gray men howled. Then South Carolina came in with "Eighteen times for Stevenson," as announced by the chairman of the state delegation, ana there was a Stevenson howl. So tha ballot went on throughout the list of states. Vma-PraaldentiMl Ballot. The ballot before any changes were made resulted as follows: STATES.

Wb'-n tbe Chairman of fhe Missouri detonation obtained the floor the wildest excitement ensued as he changed the thirty-four votes of that stale for Stevenson. Georgia changing her twenty-six votes to Stevenson caused a fresh howl of excitement from the convention, which, at this moment, was scarcely better than a mob. Tenosr-ee hastily fo. lowed in the wake of the other states and cast her twenty- four votes solid for Stevenson. Kentucky asked if her vote had been recorded for Stevenson, and npon the chairman of the convention answering in the negative that delegation recorded her twenty-six votes for tbe favorite son of Illinois. Texas came to tbe front immediately there after with thirty votes solid for Stevenson. The confuMcn became so great for awhile that the chair refused to listen to or recognize any of the delegates. At this point a tall man with a very black beard shouted louder than all the rest and attracted the attention of the chairman. The Chairman "What is the name of the gentleman?" The speaker said his name was "Cole of Ohio." Mr. Cole of Ohio "I move that the rules be suspended and that Gen. Adiai E. Stevenson be nominated by aoclamation." IOud applause greeted this motion and the delegates all over the ball seemed impatient that tbe question be put. In the midst of the excitement Mr. Hensel of Pennsylvania, who was standing on the platform iu front of the presiding officer, seconded the motion. The Chairman "The Hen. Adlai . Stevaa-

All in favor of that motion will say aye. A great chorus cf "ayes" greeted this Invitation ot the chair, and the cbair at once declared the motion unanimously adopted. The band played "Hail to the Chief" and there was a universal bowl from the crowd, which, however, did not last long. Everybody seemed to be satified with the result of the ballot. A BRILLIANT RECORD

la Tbat of tbe Candidate for VicePresident. Adlai Ewing Stevenson of Bloomington, I I., the democratic candidate for vice-president ot the L'nited States, was born iu Christian county, Kentucky. Oct. 23, 1S3 and 'educated in the comtnou schools of Kentucky and at Center college, Danville, Ky. He removed with bis parents to Bloomington, 111., in 1652, and began the tndy o law at Bloomington in 1857, being admitted to the bar in May, 1S5S. He located at Metaraora, Woodford county, Illinois, and immediately begau the practice of law, remainiog in that city for ten years. He was appointed to the ofSoe ot master-in-ehancerv by the circuit judge, aud after holding that position for four years, was elected district attorney, an office which he also held for four years. At the expiration of his term of office aa district attorney be returned to Bloomiugton, Iii., and formed a law partnership with James S?, Ewing in January, lS'JS, which partnerbip still exists, the firm ot Stevenson fi Ewing being one of the leading itv brun of central Uli nois and one nf the best repute iu state and federal courts for over twenty years. In 1864 Mr. Mevensou canvassed the state of Illinois as a candidate for presidential elector on the democratic ticket. Iu 1874 he was nominated by the democratio party for congress in the Bloomington district. The district had 8, C00 republican majority, but, after a very excitiDg canvass, Stevenson defeated his opponeut, Gen. McNolta, for reelection by over taelve hundred mii'ority. lie serve! in congress during ie Hayes and Tilden electoral contest and was one of the earnest ad vacates of a per ee'ul settlement of the ditlerencss in the presidential controversy. He was dtfeated for re-election to congress in 187Ä, the d strict at that time giving a republican majority of less than two hundred. He at oace resumed tbe piact.ee of law, but was once more renominated for congress in 1S76V this time defeating his opponent. Con gressnan Tipton, and being elected by over two thousand six hundred majority. After the expiration of that term of o flic 9 Gen. btevensou resumed the uractice of law aud was a delegate to the democratic national ; convention in 1.SS4, which nominated Grover ! Cleveland for president. After the latter's election Stevenson was appointed Cr-1 assistant pcstmaster-general and held that otiice during the entire Cleveland administration, Ilm ur- ; brvnity made him esceedinsly popular with a 1 . classes of people and be was probably the favorite of the Cievaaud administration atWh- . ington during the four years of democratic rnle. As assistant postmaster-general, be was : outspoken in his belief mat it was a democratic , duty fo remove republican postmasters where- , ever possible and aopoiut efficient democrats ! in their stead. The celerity which Gen. .Me- '. venson difp ayed in removing republican post- ' masters and appointing democrats made him ' very popular, particularly throughout the South. Gen. Stevenson was a delegate-at-hrge from Illinois to the convention which toasy nominated him for the viie-presidenov. He was uuaDirnously elected chatrmsa oi the Illinois delegation and ocoupied his position at its head and made all announcements for tbe delegation until his name was entered in the vicepresidential contest today. Then he deliberately retired to tbe gallery. Ihe headquarters of Gen. Stevenson at the ' Palmer house tonight were the .Meet a of thou- : sands of enthusiastio democrats, and the gen- : eral was forced to repair to one of tbe public j parlors, where for three hours he shook hands J with those who had come to congratu ate him. I A stream of visitors passed through and were presented to Congressman Springer and others. During this reception most of the . Tammany delegates called to vur their respects to Stevenson aud all of theio gave words of eheer. "We will have 10, COO majoiiiy lor the ticket in the stale of Nw York," said ex -Representative Turner of New York City, as he congratulated Gen. Stevenson. It is estimated , that fully 10,000 people grasped the hand of the 'ictnocratio candidate for the vioe presidency, and at the cooolmion of the levee. Gen. Stevenson repnite 1 to his room very much fatigued. He was here seen by the repn sen'ative ot the Associated Press and expressed himself as confident of the success of the ticket. "1 feel very hopeful as to the political outlook," said he, "aud I have confidence iu democratic success." Referring to the platform, he said thnt he Considered it a very strong platform and one in r aifCt to which tiiere couid be noaii:erence of interpretation. It was no longer than was r.-r-sary to enumerate the abuses of republican legislation and maladuitn a'.rntion, against which the democratic party is opposed, lie thoug'it tbe taritl declaration particularly satisfactory and comprehensive and believed it to be an igsue which would enter very largely into the discussion of the coming eumpain. Referring to the declaration on the educational ouesiion be expressed the berief that it would add great strength to the party, particularly in tbe Wett. "I have very great hope," said Gen. Stevenson in c. elusion, 'ihat the democrats will carry Illinois in the next election," Ibis morning the o lowing telegram was sent by Gen. Steveuson to Cleveland at Buzzard's Bay: "Accept my hearty congratulations. "A. K. Stkvensojt." Late tonight telegrams of congratulations were flowing- in upon Gen. Üteteuson by the hundred. THINKS BETTER OF IT NOW. Tammany Has About Concluded Cleveland Can Win. Governor Flower of New York said that he had no criticism to make upon the work of the convention. "Ve have made our case aa strongly as we knew how before the court of finai resort of the deniocrscy of the republic We can only bow to its couolusion aud do all the work we can to elect the candidates. The condition of New York polfticallv is rather a curious one. We bave a veiy difllcult fight to make and we oertamly would have preiem d to make it with some candidate who wmi'd n t have aroused opposition iu our state. The j . lenient of our party, however, we accept ully end finaily, and we villi do all for Mr. Cleveland that we would laxve done for Iliil or GorPON RACT CURES Piles Boils Wounds Bruises Sunburn Chafing Sprains Soreness Sore Eyes Sore Feet Mosquito Bites Hemorrhages Inflammation AVOID SUBSTITUTES GENUINE SSSDE ONLY BV POND'S EXTRACT CO., ISSoo

We feel that we are handicapped, but New York may be depended upon to do the best we can eveo under the most adVerse cireumstanc-s. It is ar judgment that with hard work we can perhaps carry tbe state. I do not like to make any promise, but if tbe state can be carried for Cleveland by loyal and faithiul work then nobody more than ourselves will be glad to know that our fears wer groundless." Bourke Cockran of New York ssid: "In my speech last night I gave reasons why I believed that Grover Cleveland was not the most fortunate candidate tbat we could name. My advice was not taken and now I must take the advice of the contention. The conveution advises Cleveland and ter Cleveland all of out work will be done. The New York democracy wiii not sulk; it will do the best it can. If w go into this tight without very uiuott hope it it because we know New York better than the people of Texas or Illinois, but we are democrats, and as democrats we hope to make the liOvte.U campaign tuet baa been known in that state lor a long tine." Richard Croker of New York occupied a seat bovide Governor Flower in tbe convention, lie was even mere taciturn than usual and all be wuld say in reply to questions put to him wa: "We people i.i New York thought that w knew how tbe democracy rould carry the state, Tne democracy has not agreed with us. We will try to obey the command given to us last night. I bope for tie btst. Hid almost any other candidate been nominated I would bave been sure of the best Tbat is all 1 have U say." TALKING IT OYER. Everybody Plraacd "Whitney and Tamilian v. Ex-Secretary W. C. Whitney had nothinf but satisfaction to express about the hol ticket. "The pomiuation of Cleveland was a foregone conclusion." he said, "and putting Stevenson's name upon the ticket means that Illinois wi.l this year be added in the demo cratiu column. In fact, all of the work of the convention seems to have been well done. W bare had more than a fighting chance in Illinois ever since Altgeld was ncm'naled, and now that tbe state pride is arouved by putting the late assistant postinr.t.er-gereral with Cleveland I should think that there would be no diiliculty in carrying the commonwealth." "Put it as understood, Mr. Whitney, that you yourself had arranged to put the second placet in the hands of Governor Gray of Iudiana." "There is absolutely no truth in such a story, I think Governor Gray has deserved well of the party, but it is a mistake to imagine tbat any trade was made with his friends. I think we will find Gray working as heartily for the ticket as any man could. It eeemeJ be would be nominated, hut the choice could not be urged further than ws done. The Cleveland uieu are wholly s-viiftl'd with Stevenson. 11 they were not they hud the nomicatiou in iheis hands and they roul J eaeily heve given it elsewhere, but it would have been a mistake. Mr, Stevenson will carry Illinois and we have no reason to regret our selection." "1 regard Stevenson s nomination as bringing strength to the t cket because, as assiitant post-mater-general under Cleveland, be was very popular with the rank end tile ot the party. aDd he still retaics that popularity. In regard to Tammany, there is no bad blood between tbe New York democrats. I have received a call from Croker. who assured me that he was a sincere friend of the ticket. I bave talked with all the New York men since end they express a readiness to go lack to Cleveland." CLEVELAND GETS THE NEWS I And Has a Brief "Word to Say to the j Country. j BrzzAtn's Bay. Mass.. June 23. At 4:30 this morning Mr. Cleveland, through Governor Russell, sent from Gray Gables the lollowini statement to tbe press: I should certainly be cl:sreb!e with der.se Insensibility if I were u d iroioii- uly touched by this net .ii f of the confidence sod trr.st of tbe great party to which 1 he ong, aud wao-e mandates claim uiy loya oiieiie c I am confident thst our fellow countrymen are r- sily in receive with approval ihn principle of true democracy, and I caonoi rid m vaeli ,t the belief tbat to win succeM it is only necessary tu persisteuily and hn'-esiU sdvocste these priucioles, Ditfr roiicrs ot opinion and jueum-nt in demoeratia convention are by no means unwholesome iudicatin, but it is hardiy conceivable, in view of the importance of our uc m to th c un;ry and t the party, that there shou.d he anywhere among democrat' any lack ot harmonious aud active erturt to in iu the cauip ( wl. .cli oeu bef-re u.
