Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 July 1884 — The Democratic Convention. [ARTICLE]

The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic National Convention, which convened in Chicago Tuesday, after an exceedingly turbulent and stormy session adjourned last evening until 10;30 o’clock this morning. Cleveland, Bayard and Thurman were placed before the convention, as candidates for the nomination,- and other names will be presented today. The platform has not yet been adopted, and a stormy time may be expected before it is. We do not con sider it probable that a ballot will be reached to-day. According to the Times, Ben Butler expects to get a few votes on the fii st, ballot, but none after 'that until “h—l breaks loose.” He knows where his friends are, evidently.
