Grover Clevelard Nominated for the Presidency After-a tonic And Exciting Night Session of tk« Democratic National Convention, l'unctuuted by Thunder Storms. Chicago, Jane a—The temporary chairmen tapped the convention to ordor at 11:30, and called upon Rev. Alfred Henry, of the Methodist Episcopal church, to offer prayer. Mr. Henry asked that the convention bo guided t0 chooee a representative of modern progressive democracy, and prayed that the party might proceed to victory, but not for tho spoils of office. Mr. Shaw, of Maryland, announced that the committee on credentials waa not ready to report. The Chair—At what time can the committee state that they will bo ready? Mr. Shaw—Not before 8 o’clock. Tho chairman inquired what waa next the pleasure of the convention, the committee not being ready to report. s Mr. Delancey, of Alaska, presented a memorial, which was referred to the committee on resolutions. Mr. Bronson, of Kentucky, moved-'fhnt the chair appoint a committee of two to Wait ou tho a. rsrt

Xx-Prttident Clet elmd. committee on sredeniials and ask them when they would bo ready to report. The motion was agreed to, and Mr. Bronson and Mr. Pol-' lard, of Indiana, were appointed. The chair again asked the convention Its pleasure. Tom Johuson, of Ohio, movod that Bon. Roger Q. Mills bo invited to address the convention. The motion was carried with enthusiasm, and Mr. Johnson and Mr. Goodman, of Missouri, were appointed a committee to escort the senator to the platform. The committeo were alow In llnding Mr. Mills, who had. fled from the hall. During the intermission there were cries for Carlisle and then for Palmer, and Mr. DeYoung, of Michigan, got on his chair, and moved that Mr. Palmer be invited to address the convention. The motion was carried, and Mr. DeYoung and Mr. Jackson, of Iowa, were appointed a committee of escort. This committee was more successful than the other, and Mr. Palmer was brought before the convention In a few minutes.' He was received with great applause, and first buttoning np his coat and then unbnttouing it as he warmod up, bogan, after a few preliminary remarks, an appeal for harmony. On this point he said: I think I have the right to speak to this assembly as one having experience, and I come urging yon—I need not urge you to patriotism, because that is instinctive iu the democratic heart; but I neod urge you to the adoption of eYery expedient to secure harmony in our ranks, because there lies before us one of the most important political contests In which thedemocratic party has been engagod for a quarter of a century. The great work of restoring constitutional liberty devolves upon the dem> icijUf party. They should not let perde them. There shonli ulkers in tho comp. The men presented to them were all patriotic men. They could not easily make a mistako. They must got a Arm, unswerving democrat, and put the flag in his hand. At this point the galleries started the cry of “Hill," and there were mingled cheers and hisses for a minute. Continuing, Mr. Palmer said that ns snre as the republican party was triumphant there would bs a force bill such as the ingenuity of John Devenport and the devil might suggest. The republicans at Minneapolis had declared themselves for more McKinloyism. The country was to he fettered. Tho farmer must toil for the trusts and monopolies. The democratic party must have no juggling of words in Its platform. "What about sliver!” said some "ono In tho gallery; but the speaker ignored tho question. Mr. Palmer said he wanted to see Illinois this year fire off patriotism. Blow the trumpet and Illinois would rally to the banner. lie expected Illinois to elect its state ticket aud its electoral ticket as weii. “Wo do n t expect tc burn Chicago up,” said Mr. Palmer, “but we'll make it amazingly red." As the applau30 which greeted the close of the veteran Palmer’s speech die 1 away Mr. Chapman, of Ohio, moved that yo‘m K. Fellows, of New York, bo Invited to address the convention. This proposition was rec lived with applause and some demonstration of distent. The chair declared the motion carried and appointed Mr. Chapman a committee to escort Ur. Fellows to the platform. Mr. Chapman went around to Mr. Fellows’ place and, leaning over Gov. Flower and Lieut. - -Gov. Sheehan, talked earnestly with tlje distinguished Tammauylte, but Mr. Fellows shook his head. There were cries of “Fellows.” Finally Mr. Fellows, standing on his chair from his place in the centor of the hall, and speaking with his characteristic clearness of tone, said: I am a delegate to this convention, and at the proper time when it shall be appropriate for delegates to express their opinions 1 may ask the opportunity to say something to tho convention. I am a democrat, and as I recognize that there are a great number of distinguished Entlemen on this floor whose names are well town to the democracy not wearing the badgo of a delegate, it would be manifestly improper for one occupying that position now to claim your attention. Mr. Fellows then resumed his seat and was loudly cheered. The chairman announced that the committee on credentials was ready to report, and Mr. Lamb, of Indiana, took the platform, and in a clear, lond Toice read the report. There was no objection to it and it was adopted. Just as the vote was taken rain began to fall, and the canvas cover was lowered about the ventilator opening above, making the ball so dark that there wore cries for light, and much confusion prevailed. The chairman rapped for order and announced that the committee on permanent organization was ready to report. The report was presented by Mr. Fordyce, of. Arkansas, and read by one of the clerks of the convention. It named Hon. W. L Wilson, of West Virginia, for permanent chairman, and continued the other officers of the temporary organization. The announcement of Mr. Wilson's name was met with loud applause. The report was adopted without dissent. Then the band struck np a potpourri of popular and national airs. “Yankee Doodle" waa greeted with applause, but “Dixie” brought down the houfte. When the music coased Mr. Dickinson, of Michigan, moTcd that a committee of five be appointed to notify Mr. Wilson of his appointment as permanent chairman. The motion was carried, and while the chair waa considering who to appoint the band again atlBCk^up "Dixie” and the cheers, were reThe committee waa nearly five minutes getting together, and the band was playing when the escort committee and the permanent chairman walked np to the platform. Temporary Chairman Owens shook hands with Mr. Wilson and then stepped to the front of the platform and said: # GnitTLsnn or tbs Convsntioh—It gives me pleasure to introduce to yon one of the bravest democrats In America—Mr. Wm. J. Wilson, of West Virginia. As Mr. Wilson came forward ha was greeted with S storm of applanse. Be wore his bine delegates' badge on the lapel of a cutaway coat, under which was a prominent white vest. Mr. Wilson looked calmly over the convention during a moment's silenoe and begun a lengthy evidently Mr. Wilson knew the temper and disposition of bis audience. The key note of tariff reform which he struck In almost his first sentence was in harmony with their feelings, and they greeted everything that be said with the greatest enthusiasm. When Mr. Wilson said, “I must not keep you from the work,” there were cries of “Go on, ~NJo on." When he concluded his speech tho ■ ' rising to their feet, waved their hats nered again and aj - Clardy, of Mi* of thanks to the Missouri, presented a temporary chair adopted, oflndit

Sb^„. 1. Report Of committee on cfedenti r Report of committee oil orga hta._ of the cofcimitte© On resolutions and platform, 8. Report of the committee on nomination of president of the United States. ft- Report of the 'committee oh nomination of Vice-president or the united States. Your commit too further recommends that the fules of the last National democratic convention shall ho adopted for the government of the coMgeri lion. On motion the report was adopted without objection. The chairman asked if the committee on resolutions was ready to report. There was no toply. and in the interval that followed the baud struck up a lively air. At the conclusion of this performance, Mr. Phelps, or Missouri, was recognized to present a gavol. He said; Mr Chairman—In behalf of the sine producers and miners of Missouri, I prosent to you this gavol, not made of tin or flfcobrt from a Nebraska homestead, but hilnod and made m Jasper county. Mo., and bearing the inscription^ “ we need ho protection, as a protest against the ttiockory of legislation, which imposes a useless tariff of 80 per Cent. Upon the irietal as a pretext for taxing the lamp, pick, Shirt arid blanket of the miner mote than 40 per Cent. The MiHsouri 4inC Holds, like the American Wheat fields, are the most productive in the world. The same market which fixes the price of the farmer’s wheat, regulates the zinc, and he has long Of the miner's since learned price what the farmer is raj idly learning, that the market in which ho sella the production of his labor Is one In which sells the production or ins labor is one in which ho should purchase the implements of his avocation and the necessities of his household, and he is feadj/ to do his part in giving the electoral Vote of Missouri to the nominee of this convention by 40,000 majority. The chairman, accepting the gavel, repeated in substance the remarks of Mr. Phelps, which had been almost inaudiblo to the convention. The chairman of the committee oil resolutions riot being In sight, the Chairman ordered the cterk to ask the delegations to send to the desk the names of members of the national committee arid of tho committee of notification. There was a long interval while the nar^*s were being sent up. Then someone moved that Mr. Carlisle be asked to address the convention. The motion was adopted, and tho chairman npocinted Mr. Walker, of Missouri, and Mr. Power, of Tennessee, to escort tho RorituckianS^p the platform. Tho committee s6?med umfcblo to find Mr. Carlisle, and tho galleries Coathmesj to cry “Carlisle4' spasmodically While fhp Convention remained inactive. Adjourned till ft p. m. Evening Session. Chicago, June 22.—When the convention reassembled t tho atmosphere was almost unbearable. Tho band finding “Dixie" so popular in the morning tried that air over again several times in a medley of other tunes and each time drew ont answering yells. Chairman Wilson took his seat at 5:15, but simply for tho purpose of enabling Secretary Eoll to announce telegrams for delegates which ho ded in characteristic fashion winding up with tho invitation “Come and get 'em, gentlemen? my page is sick." A few minutes later the new zinc gavel rapped to order. Order was slow in coming, and so was business. It was fully twenty minutes before the convention was called upon to listen to anything else except the band. ’ An innovation in the usual course of proceedings was made by the chairman calling Upon another reverend gentleman for a second 'prayer in tho same day's proceedings. The gentleman selected for this servica was Rev. Thos. G. G roen. of Cedar Rapids, la. He wore the full black of tho Episcopal church. He is a tall man with full trimmed jet black beard. He spoko with a penetration that should bo the envy of some of the orators who have addressed the convention. He prayed that they might choose a man “of el?an hands and pure heart, one who is abovo all selfish ambition, one whose aim will be his country and his God.'' At 6:25 the chairman announced to the impatient convention that tho platform was ready and would bo presented by Mr. Jones, the

vunii ut«u. Mr. Jones from the platform, amid cries of “loader," which grew in intensity, said: Mr. Chairman* and Gentlemen op the Convention: I pro-uinpthat this committee in its relations to the convention presents a case of being “better late than never." I wish to say, however* in behalf of my colleagues that, any delay to which yon hav * been subjected was due to no lack of diligence or industry on their part. | Renewed cries of “louder," an 1 a voice “Let the secretory read."] $Mc. Jones: If yon will be a liitte quieter Verh'ips there will be no difficulty in hearing. I am instructed .by the committee on resolutions to present to you as tho report of the committee the following resolutions and to ask their adoption. In order that yon may more distinct^ hear what tho committee has prepared I intend to ask tho gentleman who is familiar wi.xh the phraseology to read them for me and as soon as they are read, I shall move tho previous question upon the adoption of the platform. Mr. Jons s closed by asking Mr. Vilas, of Wisconsin, to rend the platform. , & Mr. Vilas began to do so in his magnificent sonorous voice and most impressive style. The first mention of Cleveland's name in tho convention was when Mr. Vilas, in the first paragraph of the platform, real "from Madison to Cleveland."*; It called out the joint enthusiasm of the delegates. Tho Syracuso men led the cheering as the Cleveland delegates and the Cleveland men in the galleries sprang to their feet waving hats, handkerchiefs and fans. It was twenty minutes after the shouting began before Mr. Vilas could bring his big voice to.bear on the convention again, and even then it had to run a brief competition with a murmur of suppressed enthusiasm that continued to run through the audience. The further reading of the document was at times puuctuatod with applause: but its extreme length seemed to diminish its interest. When the silver plank was reached there was a stronger outbreak of approval than at any portion of the platform. The familiar phrase, "public office is a public trust" which followed was promptly recognized and brought out another but very brief Cleveland demonstration. Tho civil service plank called out more hisses than cheers. The galleries applauded thwcondemnation of tho republican office holder's convention. Very few demonstrations were ^paade by the delegates themselves at any point. Not counting interruptions the platform occupied thirty-five minutes in the reading. Its conclusion was ob viously welcomed as a relief. Mr. Jones, at the close of the reading, said: "On behalf of the committee on resolutions I move the adoption of the platform as read." This was met by cries of "No." Mr. Neal, of Ohio, took tho stand and said: "As a representative from the state of Ohio, appointed on tho committee on resolutions, I gave notice of my intention to present to this convention an amendment to the section of the platform relative to the tariff. I have boon unable conscientiously to agree with the majority of my fellow members upon that section'of this platform, I therefore gave notice to tho committee that I would move in open convention to strike out all that section of the platform after the words denouncing the McKinley act, and to submit the following: ^ "We denounce the republican protection as a fraud (cheers), a robbery of the great majority of the American people, for the benefit of the few (loud cheers.) We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the democratic party that the foleral government ha3 no constitutional power to enforce and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only (renewed and long continued cheering], and demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government honesty and economically administered." Mr. Cochran asked that the report of the minority !>e read again by the clerk for information. This was ordered and the clerk again read the report slowly and distinctly. A delegate then ask4tl to hear the part to be struck out. When Vie clerk had finished the reading. Mr. Neal, who sti]l held the platform, said: “The history ot our country demonstrates the fact that the American people will consider and determine but one great public question at a time. Many questions in a government like ours with a variety of interests will necessarily attract some share of public attention at one and the same time; but it is none the less true that some one question will overshadow all others in importance and command for itself the highest space in the thoughts of the people. Such a question, we now have in the federal system of protective taxation. Tariff reform has been the leading political issue in this countr • since the democratic party commenced to battle for a revision and a reduction of tariff taxes more than four years ago. It must contiuo to be such until it shall bo firmly re-estab-lished as the one fundamental principle that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for reverue alone [cheers]. and that even than the taxes should be limited to the necessities of the government economically and honestly administered. Republican protection was robbery. We believe it to bo so," said Mr. Neal, “an l wo ought to havo the courage of our convictions. Its purposes were accomplished by stealth, and this aggravated the offense—republican protection was a3 hostile to our principle of government as taxation without representation. To longer heed its siren cry would; be to change the character of our government by converting it from a democracy into an aristocracy. The concentration of wealth foreshadowed this change The ownership of half the wealth of the country by 17,000 of its people was the proof of it I beg the democratic party not to turn its back on that question lmt to express itself so plainly that no workingman reading the platform could misid It." ’s remarks were constantly interWhen he closed there from the galleries Mr. Watterson was fcta spin his

■ dbout to speak, Hr. Sheehan, of New York, attkacted attention by coming op the aisle and shaking hands with Hr. Neal Hr. Watterson handed the Vodk to the secretary and said tbit he desired before he spoke to hare read an extract from the democrats platform of 18TB. The clerk read, and Hh Watterson at the close of the reading impressively said: "This declaration of principles comes to ns with the impression of the wisdom and the bendictlon spirit of that saint and saint of democrats,Samnel J. Tilden.” The mention of Tilden's name was greeted with lond cheers. Hr. Watterson continuing, referred to his past labors in the cause of tarifl reform, and said when he had a sen the principle embodied in a message of a great democratic president (cheers], and embodied in the St Lonls platform, he said: "Nowmv labors are over; my fight is ended, the victory won, and I can go to sleep. I shall never again be needed in a democratic platform committee and can entrust to yonngor and less experienced bands this Work of my life. But” continued Hr. Watterson, “When I listened to tbe extraordinary essay we have heard from this desk (laughter and cheers], I asked myself whether We are indeed, then, a democratic convention or simply a republican convention (ronowed laughter 1 revised by James 0. Blaine or Benjamin F. Butlor, for the tarifl plank we have listened to this evening is almost identical in principle with the minority report submitted to the democratic convention in 18SI by Benjamin P. Butlor and voted down almost unanimously : (Applause "J Mr. Watterson further said that he had no dissertation to offer, bnt simply a statement of fact. Either the convention should reject this monstrosity and adopt the simple lncld.and trne amendm ent offered Icheers); or if it wanted to take time, reecommit the whole matter. (Cries of “No’ and “New committee. ”J There was great confusion in the galleries, crios of Mills and hissing, and the chairman had to rap Sharply to secure order. Mr. Vilas got the Boor and said that he presumed there was no one who knew his record who did not know that ho had reiterated for many yearn every statement in the substitute offered. Bnt it was impossible to say enough in condemnation of the iniquitous tariff legislation inflicted on this country. But this resolu-' tion, which it was proposed to strike out, was a resolution reported to the convention of 1884 over which he presided and it was presented by Wm. R. Morrison, 6f Illinois, and no voice sounded sweeter in its behalf than that of Mr. Watterson. Half of that which had been denounced as republican here to-night be had bowed down to in 1884 under the leadership of his distinguished friend. (Mr.Watterson could not help smiling and the convention laughed. ] Continuing, Mr. Vilas said that no one would accept this form of expression more qnickiy than he. (Cries of ‘Taka it.’) He did not think it made any difference in what form of words the democratic party declared its hostility to the iniquity of the tariff. Five years ago a democratic president led the party into position on that question which was not only magnificent hut gave life-blood 4o the democratic party. In conclusion he suggested that the convention take in these words and leave there t tote on which Mr. Cleavlaud was elected president. Mr. Watterson again got the platform and urged the adoption of the substitute. He related the circumstances of tho adoption of the platform of 1884, which was a compromise, and added: “But since that time we have had the second Honiahn bill, the Mills bill, the message of the president in 1887, Iho great campaign of education of 1888, and I say to myself •My God, is it possible that in 1892 we have come back for a tariff to tho straddle of 1884. (Laughter and loud cheers ] The cheering that greeted tho conclusion of this brief rejoinder was followed by further cries for Mills. The chairman pounded for order and Chairman Jones of the committee took the platform. He said: “I wish to say on behalf of the committee on resolutions that we accept the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio as an addition to section 3." Mr. Neal demanded a call on his amendment, and it was adopted. The announcement was greeted with cheering and waving of hats.

next came me scconi auacs on tne platform—the opposition to the silver plank. Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, said that there was a point of difference in the committee on resolutions. It related to tho coinage plank and was embraced in the use of one single word, and tk* substitute that some of the members from the south and west offered consisted in a word—namely, the word "free” before the word "coinago.” Mr. Patterson contin ning, was interrupted, and he appealed to the convention for a respectful hearing. Tho delegates might differ with him, bnt there were millions of people in this country who did not. .Again there were cries of "Time.” It was evident that the galleries wanted the convention to get down to balloting. He retired from the platform, and the chairman quickly put the motion, aud it was carried by a large majority—so largo that there was no division asked. The chairman then pnt the question on tho adoption of the platroim. There were some dissenting votes, but tho chairman declared tho platform adopted. The chairman then announced that the next question was tho call of tho roll of states for nominations of candidates for president At this the convention loudly cheered. Arkansas yioided her place to Now Jersey amid cheers, and Gov. Leon Abbott, of New Jersey was recognized and took the stand to nominate Grover C’levoluml. He stood just behind the chairman's desk, a manuscript in fiontot him and speaking so clearly that ho could l>e heard all through the great hall he said: Mr. chairman and gentlemen of the convention—In placiug a narae'beforo this convention I speak for tho united democracy of New Jersey whose loyalty to democratic principles, faithful service to the party and whoso contributions to its success entitle it to the consideration of tho democratic country In joining the unanimous wish of tho delegation I present as their candidate the uame of a distinguished democratic statesman born upon its soil, for whom in two presidential contents the state has given its electoral votes. We ha ve in the pRst and will in the future be ready to sacrifice all personal preferences to ' ' iff * '* * the i-lear expression of the will of the democratic ... party. It i3 because this name will awaken throughout onr state the enthusiasm oit tho democracy and insure success; it is because ho represents the great democratic principles and policy upon which this entire convention is a unite; it is because we believe that with him as a candidate the demooracy of tho Union will sweep the couutry and establish its principles throughout the length and breadth of the land that we offer to tn ___■_■ the convention as the nominee t’le choice of the democracy of New Jersey, Grover Cleveland. When Gov. Abbett named Cleveland the hurrah of an hour before was renewed. Tho delegates sprang to their feet; many of them mounted chairs; hats were thrown into the air. and the noise of the cheering was deafening. Michigan's banner was waved aloft again The enthusiastic banner-bearer forgot discretion, and taking the banner across the aisle flaunted It in the faces of the New York delegates. Gen. Sickles resented this impertinence and be was joined in tho denunciation by other members of the delegation. Major Manning, of Albany,put out hisfoot to bar the aislo where he sat and the bannerbearer fell. Michigan men were «*ross the aisle in an instant and it looked as though blows would follow. Gen. Sickles, said: “We in New York are gentlemen and we do not propose to be insulted “So are we” said a man from Michigan, “and we know how to behave ourselves.” "You cannot carry that man's banner across here,” said Sickles, waving his crutch in the air. “Wo propose to say who shall bp our candidate aud we do not want to have Michigan ramming their candidate down onr throats.” Then a Michigan delegate poured oil on the troubled waters by saying “The man was told not to raise the banner and he had no right to go over in New York’s delegation in any event,” and the conflict which threatened blows came to an end. One inconsiderate delagate hoisted a bandana. Others had umbrellas and canes in the air, bats and handkerchiefs. The cheering continued intermittently for ten minutes. The chairman succeeded iu pounding order with his gavel and Gov. Abbett went on. Almost the next sentence was; “Not only will he receive the support of every democrat iu the land.” There were cries of “No” and counter cries ef “Yes” from pll oyer the hall. Stopping a moment the governor repeated: “I sail every democrat,” laying a strong emphasis on tho word “democrat.” The point brought down the house. At another point where the governor paused some one cried: “Give us a democrat'” but it did not provoke a demonstration. When Gov. Abbett came to the review of the modern hero and of the democracy he was cheered in moderation from Russell to Boies, hut when David Hill's name was mentioned Tarnman]- and the New York delegation led a demonstration second only to that whtoh the Cleveland men had made. Mounting their chairs, the New Yorkers led a cheering army which found recruits momentarily in every part of the hall. Twice, thrice, the New Yqrk men sat down, but each time ..the cheering started anew, and again and again tho friends and admirers of the»New Yorkers areas to their feet. Amos Cummings waved^fan arourd his head. Jolly District Attorney Ridgeway's round face shone with excitement, aud Geo. Sickles waved bis crutch high in the air. Alter eight minutes of noise the chairman tried to rap the convention to order, bnt some one brought in some lithographed pictures of Mr. HUI and held them aloft. Gen. Sick es stuck one out on the end of his crutch and waved it above his .head A delegate rushsd to the platform and held another picture over the head of the oHcial stenographer. Flags and parti-colored umbrellas were waved in the galleries. Ohio, Mississippi and half a dozen other states joined in the demonstration and made it continuous and noisy. A bearded delegate with a brown hat on his head stood on a chair and waved a Cleveland picture in the lace of the New Yorkers. tt?W Uk. the traditional red rag t? Hie mad

boa It provoked another outbreak even more enthusiastic than the one preceding it—a demonstration that bronght even “Bose" CTOker to hie feet. Again the chairman tried to bring the convention to order, and again he failed. Every Wow of hia gavel wae answered with increased cheering and stamping of feet Gov. Abbett stood in front of the chairman's desk, looking on smilingly over the hall. The demonstration had continued seventeen minutes when Edward Murphy waved the New ( -Yorkers to their seats. The galleries were not quieted so easily. Three cheers were given for Gov. Flower when his name was mentioned. Gov. Abbett was permitted to conclude his speech in comparative silence at 10:18 p. m. A renewed outbreak of cheers took place as he sst down. The Michigan delegation hoisted the Cleveland banner again and ten minutes were given to uproar, the baud assisting, while occasional peals of thunder reverberated above the din. The secretary vainly endeavored to resume the roll-call. The lightning meanwhile wae Bashing vividly and the torrents of rain forcing their Way through the roof increased In volume. Colorado being reached, yielded to the state of New York. Mr. W. C DeWitt, of Brooklyn, made his way np the aisle to nominate Senator Hill. • ' Bonrke Cochran asked for a suspension of the proc ecdings till the storm should abate. This was perforce granted. After an interval of ten minutes or more the chairman again sought to restore order and to resume business, threatening to clear the galleries if quiet were not maintained. Mr. DeWitt waa willing to go on, but Mr. Sheehan walked np to the platform and said that the delegation from New York unanimously requested him to wait till the storm was over and until he could receive the same attention that had been given the other speakers. The galleries meanwhile clamoring “Go on," and the storm having diminished, in a few minutes more DeWitt proceeded. Some hisses were called ont by the remark that New York had never failed, when the party had put np one of her eons who was true and devoted singly and alone to the democratic cnnse. Laughter and cheers greeted the suggestion that Mr. Hill waa not popular with the republican party or dilontante of tbo press. Hon. John R. Fellows, of New York, followed Mr. DeWitt, seconding the nomination of Mr. Hill. The Chairman of the delegation announced that Connecticut seconded the nomination of Grover Cleveland. The roll-call was continued nntil Illinois was reached when A. W. Greon took the platform to second the nomination of Cleveland. He said: “Illinois casts 48 votes for Grover Cleveland. When the foil of states of this convention shall again be called that will be the answer of the great state of Illinois." When Indiana was called there were cries of “Yoorhees,”but Hon. Wm. E. English took the platform on behalf of tho delegation to second Cleveland’s nomination. He explained that it had been intended that Mr. Yoorhees should speak, hut that distinguished gentleman was confined to his room by serions indisposition. Iowa was the next state called and Hon. John Dunscomb took the platform to nominate Horaco Boies. New York Joined conspicuously in the cheering which tbo presentation of Boies’ name elicited and which lasted some minutes, accompanied by the usnal incidents of the waving of banners, etc., etc. The galleries got very restive daring the closing part of Mr. Dunscomb’s speech and tried to shut him down. When Mr. Dunscomb was through the rollcall was resumed, and Mr. Fenton, of Kansas, took the platform to second the nomination of Cleveland Ho said ho would not make a speech, but as he threatened to break this promise the galleries cried him down with great nnanimitv. Kentucky was then called. The chairman of the delegation announced that the friends of Mr. Cleveland had chosen Hon. J. A. McKenzie to second his nomination, and tho friends of Mr. Boies had selected Hon. Henry Watterson to second his nomination. These and several other speeches wore made, and at 1:30 a. m. Mr. Owens, of Kentucky, mokcd an adjournment nntil 11 o’clock, bnt the chair ruled him ont of order, and tho speechmaking proceeded. At 2:46 a. m. the chairman annonncod that the roll of states would be called for a vote. A New Mexico delegate moved an adjournment .to 11 o'clock. There was an overwhelming negative vote bnt it seemed to come from the galleries and a demand was made for a roll call on the question of adjournment. Mr. Sheehan, of New York, got the floor and asked what the question w as. The chair explained. The New Mexican then withdrew his motion to adjourn and the clerk called the roll of states, with the following result: Cleveland. 6163s; Hill, 114: Boies, 95: Goran an, £6; Morijsen, 2; Campbell, 2; Carlisle, 14; Stevenson, 16*3: Whitney, 1. Total 897*?;necessary to choice 689. On motion of Senator Daniel, of Virginia,the nomination was made nnanimons. At 3:55 a. m. the convention adjourned unti’ 2p. m.*

Pretty Dresses. Seme very pretty “picture dresses” for luncheons and teas are made in various elastic and other styles. Seme of these are of fine elairette or carmelite cloth in mauve, apricot-yellow, roseheart, blue, etc., a number in princesse form, the gown fastening invisibly on the left side, the back devoid of any seams at all, forming a round waist, ending just below the belt to which all the fulness of the skirt is applied. Another princesse is of blue and gold-shot silk so simply made that it fits smoothly under the coat of finest Venetian cloth that is worn above it when on the street. The coat is lined with shot silk, and is a very handsome shade of blue. The princesse dress is double-breasted, lapping in a point on the left breast The waist is trimmed with fine gold gimp laid over blue-velvet ribbon.—N. Y. Post —Sea captains were yarning about ships which never returned and various dangers of the deep, when a Thomaston mariner related an experience which, he declared, made his hair rise every time he thought of it He said: “One trip I made from New York to San Francisco is very distinctly impressed upon my mind. We had in a general cargo, including seventy tons of gunpowder and some railroad iron. We had a very rough passage around the Horn, and were tossed about pretty roughly for a week or so. I cou ld hear the vessel straining and the cargo groaning and grinding, and it made me pretty nervous, I can tell you. When we reached San Francisco and discharged, I found that thirty tons of the powder had been stowed in the railroad iron. Some of the packages had bedii broken open by the working of the cargo, and the iron was covered with powder. We swept up several barrels of it, and—well, I felt sick to think what might have happened.” —Boston still speaks in whispers of a dreadful thing that happened at the Tavern club. It became necessary to admonish a well-meaning but overfamiliar hall boy to mend his ways, and accordingly a member of the house committee was commissioned to administer the lesson. The house committeeman took the lad aside and talked to him for some minutes, in choicest Bostonese, upon the proprieties of club life.
