St Lovis, Mo, June 6.—|Special Tele- gram to Tuk Bee.|--It was long after th hour set when the convention opened. Every seat was occupied on the floor and in the g leries when Temporary Chairman White, with a voice like a foghorn,called the convention to order, neral Collins, of Boston, his successor, assumed charge in a carcfully prepared speceh, delivered as if he was afraid of the crowd and had left his voice in his vali t the hotel. Bat the effoct was con: entiously cheered. That was what the crowd was gathered for, and it did its dut olutions were being offc Whilo res- ad, whis- pers floated around that nglo on the tariff plank was progr n the room of the committee on resolutions. Tobe Cas- tor hurriedly approached Sterling Morton and brought a message from Watter- son. Soveral of the Pennsylvania and New York delegates had their heads together and managed to send the messages down stairs, The impression on the floor of the convention was verified shortly by the an nouncement that the committes on resolu- tions would not be able to report before late in the evening. It was still farther cor- roborated by the nows that the prospects were even better fora wider straddle than that of the platform of 188 The news was received with evidences of disapproba- tion, CLEVEL ND NOMINATED, ‘When Missouri was called there we loud calls for Vest. Mr. Vest did not re- spond. The name of New York evoked loud cries for Fellows as did that of Pennsylvani; for Scott, but neither gentleman came for- ward. The crowd was getting very noisy and disorderly, Texas had a delegate who yearned to make a few remarks and he was permitted to pipe a few sentences when the crowd called him off. At 1:15 the motion to suspend the rules and declare the nomination of Grover Cleveland unanimous was put and carried amid another burst of yells, catcalls and cheers, When Twiggs sat down to everybody's re lief there were loud calls for the remains of Dan Voorhees, but the corpse declined to exhibit itself. The cail was repeated when Indiana was reached but mot no response. Byron C tout, a wild looki individual, with the voice of a Mormon elder and the manner of a camp meeting exhorter, fanned the air with his arms and began on behalf of Michigan to second the nomination. He was Joudly guyed by the conyention and gulleries, Nothing excited so much enthusiasm us his remark that he had done. The nomination of Cleveland by Mr, Dougherty produced one of the grandest ovations ever accorded to man. ‘The spaech was a magnificent production and wus de- livered with splendid effect. It fairly got the vast audience wild with excitement and enthusiasm, which lasted for over half an hour—in fact until the convention could not yell any longer. It was an exhibition of ex travagant applause that is seldom witnessed. T'his demonstration wore out the convention 80 that practically nothing further was done to-day and the remainder of the work went over until to-morrow. TUE COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM have been in session since 5 o'clock lust even- ing. Itis quite evident that this committee is packed by the protectionists, although the president in bis last message to congress made a platform for his party on the tariff question, The committee is so organized, and if reports are true, Mr. Cleveland will not receive the endorsement at the hands of the convention which he is entitled to by all the rules of party action upon this important question, 1f the rumors are to be believed the expression of the committee on taviff re- form will show the president pulling one way sud the committee another. It is not be lieved the convention will adopt this straddle if any member of that body has the cou to make the fight on the report when pre- sented to the couvention, The democrats who do not get into conventions do a heap of good tking on the tarift which 18 not put into practical use by conventions. The re markable feature about the matter is that every convention which sent delogates here squarely endorsed the president’s views on revenue reform which is likely to be lost by the manipulations of the bosses in the con vention assembled, KA REVENUE who are in the city are much inc Brother Jim North who voted th with the protection straddlers in the com jittee on platform aud against Mr, Cleve- Jand, He first voted for Senator Gorman for chairman as against tarifl reformer Wit terson. Continuing on this line it is also suid that he voted with the pix iron straddlers of Pennsylvrnia on every proposition, which of course was to dodge the issue, he farmers of Nebraska will not take much stock m this sort of demoeracy. They have little in com- mon with the Penusylvaniatariff straddlors. 'he Nebraska firiends of Mr. Cleveland are especially disgruntled with Committee Man North and swear by all the goas at once that ne shall never be appoiuted to Bierbowe place if they ean prevent it. On the other band it is asserted that Boss Boyd has agreed Mept his son-in-luw shall now resign the mar REFOXMERS nsed at | shalship and it must be given to his faithful lientenant, North, for carrying out his agree- ment with the democratic protectionists. Those who do not train with the boss believe that Mr. Cleveland will now have something to sayas towho willbe marshal of Ne- braska, Thus it goes and the happy demo. cratic family of Nebraska is the same happy and prosperous family it always has been. MORTON 1AS TAKES NO PART this time in the usual four years' reunion of the Nebraska democrats, He provably would have taken a hand, but how could he when he was kicked out of the delegation fn the first round. Instead of mixing in these bad smelling brawls the gentleman from Nebraska City has taken his ease by having a pleasant time with his friends from other parts of the country. To-day, it is said, Tobias Castor rushed up to Morton inform- ing him that Henry Watterson wanted to see him at once at the committee room. Morton quictly informed Castor that Mr. North represented Nebraska on that com- mittee and he could not go, and continued his conversation with the gentlemen with whom he was talking. This is mentioned only to show the gall with which some Nebraska democrats are loaded. Castor did ag much as he could to keep Morton from coming to St. Louis and wound up his friendly services by assisting in pitching him out of the delegation after it arrived here, The republicans of Nebras] however, canno’, object to all this for there is, music in the air. Thelarger portion of the Nebraskans leave for home to-night. NEBRASKA MEN IN §T. LOUIS, A number of familar Nebraska faces were seen in the gallery, J. J. Dickey, L. H. Korty, and Purchasing Agent Burns of the Union Pacific occupied seats in the first gaiery. Directly inthe rear of the platform, Hugh Murphy and Tom Lowry, in their shirt sleeves, watched the proceediugs from the second gallery, directly over the portrait of Cleveland. Lowry attracted attention by dropping a string and nauling up a suspicious looking package from the gal- lery below in full sight of the audience. The Nebraska delegation sat quietly under the platform in the middle aisle. Governor Mor- ton attracts much attention from prominent democrats. John Shervin of Fremont sat on his right, and Cook of Beatrice on his left. Boyd and Jim Creighton hob-nobbed together on a front seat. George Crawford vaily attempted to secure a scat among the veporters of the daily press. Charley Brown with a browa reporte badge pinned to his coatsatina prominent press seat. Mike Gadnon, who has recently located in Omaha, and who solemnly vowed last winter that he had forever eschewed politics, looked on the proceedings with the same degr ure that marked his political carcer in Towa. Gannon, like Jim Boyd, would swear off pol- itics to-day and be in the thick of the fight to-morrow. Like his experience in Iowa, he will undoubtedly be found on the hustings this fall wusting his silvery cloquence ad- dressing weetings in a state that 18 as sure for the republican nominee as the common- wealth he came from, GUESIAM POPULAR IN INDIANA. Thurman’s nomination to-morrow morning is assured. Had the comvention not ad- journed it would have been promptly made this afternoon. Doubts are freely expressed to-night whether Gray's name will be pre- sented. His friends, however, are making a final and desperate effort to-night to force his nomination on the ground that it is the only hope of saving Indiana against Gresham, who is conceded to be the coming choice of the Chicago convention. Mr. Shankland, a member of the Indiuna delegation, said to- night: “Indianiaus are strongly in favor of Gray, not only for personal reasons, but also e we believe his nomination to be 'y to the success of the democratic "There is no use in disguising the fact ry strong race excellent and party. that Gresham would make a ve in Indiana. His war record i he has thousy ands of friends. Our men are fond of sceing one of their fellow citizens in high office, and if the Indiana democrats think that they are slighted and left out in the cold by the democrats they would be only too likely to vote the republican tic The Grand Army vote is also ve strong, and if they saw two civilians nominated on the democ one soldier, tic ticket and not while the republican ticket w headed by a gallant officer the consequenc would be most disustrous. When it is re- membered that with Indiana but one doubt- ful state is needed to secure the election o republican president, the importance of se- curing that state is manifest. No one, least of all Thurman himself, will claim that there is the smallest chunce of his carrying Ohio, und high as Mr. Thurman’s reputation is it cannot be reasonably claimed that he would be as strong in Indiana asa native of the state. Gray scems to be the most avail- able wan for the position. He has a fine war record, is a staunch democrat and has invariably run ahiead of his ticket in his own state With him there is no chance of tosing Indiana, as the delegation is a unit for him, but without him the candidacy of Gresham would be freighted with tho most dangerous possibilities. How- ever it may be in the east the soldier vote can not be disregarded in the west. Gresham is immensely popular, and a mistake might well be fatal. With all respect for the ex- alted character and great abilitios of Mr. Thurman, we of Indiana, do not think he is the man to be named in the approaching con- veation," HOTEL K PERS LAPPY. The most jubilant men over the temporary adjournment of the convention uro the St. Louis hotel keepers, The action of the con- vention assures them another day to flec the public. Nothing like the rapacity of St. Louis has ever been known before in the his- tory of cither party. Every oue is cursing roundly the uational commitiee for locuting the convention ke THE CU\\'I‘ NTIO! Cleveland Renominated For the Presidenc St. Lous, June 6.—At 10:22 a. m., Chair- man White called the convention to ord and Rev. J. R. Greene of Missouri addresse the throne of grace as follows: “Oh Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations, Thou hast been the God, and art the God of all nations. Thou hast appointed the bounds of their hubita tions. Thou hast been the God of this na- tion, the God of our fathers, aud we, their children, this morning enter into the \||I|.-r|'.m\'u of the blessing that Thou didst | bestow upon thew.

We pray Thee, of God, that Thou wilt guide us in our des Helpus as a people to fear God and to keep His commandments, and direct us in all our ways that we may be the Lord's people, not simply in profession of our lips but in a godly and holy, just life. Now we commend ourselves to Thee for the guidance of Thy spirit, and as Thou must over-rule the mistakes of men for the good of Thy name and as Thou must guide usin all things that are ereat and good, do Thou this day bless these men and lead them in Thy way according to Thy purpose, and let them remember this day as they sit in this con- vention that they are not only making his- tory for this country but they are also to determine that which will be good for it or bad fer it, and may their policy and may their works redound to the good of all the citizens of this country and for the glory of thy name in all the earth. Let thy blessing rest upon us now and evermore, We ask it in Jesus’ name, Amen." Hon, Frederick O. Prince of Massachu- sefts, then offered the following resolution Resolved, That the thanks of this conven- tion be presented to to the delegation from Colorado for the gift of the silver gavel, and that the same be placed in charge of the na- tional committee for use at further demo- cratic conventions. Unanimously carried. The Chair—There has been handed to the chair credentinls from Alaska. They are hr‘l;eby referred to the committee on creden- tials. Congressman Campbell of New York, of- ferred the following petition: Whereas, We believe that the safety and continuity of republican institutions on this continent imperatively demands the recogni- tionand enforcement of the Monroe doctrine in all its length and breadth; that territorial acquisition or agrandiz ment in this auarter of the world by foreign and mon- archical powers should not only be discoun- tenunced, but should be discouraged and prohibited by every means in our power; that it _is our duty, as well as our interest, fo cs- tablish and maintain the most friendly’ diplo- matic and commercial relations with our s ter republics, Mexico, Central and South America, and to extend to them such moral aid and sympathy us they may need to pro- teet themselves from unrighteous encroach- ament of Euaropean powers upon their territory, or ofticious interference in their internal go ernmental affaivs: and further, if necessary to maintain the supremacy of the Monroe doctrine on the continent, we should be prepared to make and enforce our demands gainst whatever power may undertake to evade or disregard it. Resolved, That acopy of this preamble and resolution be transmitted as represented to the national democratic convention which is to assembly at St. Louis on the 5th day of June, 1885, Tor such recognition thereof, and such actionthereon as said convention may sce fit to take concerning the same.

He Talks to the Convention of Ideal Democra St. Louis, June 6 W. H, Barnum of Conne P. Flower of New York and the Hon, John O'Day of Missouri a committee to escort Hon. Patrick A. Collins to the chair. When Collins had mounted the platform he was grected by a shake of hands by Mr, White, the temporary chairman, who then said: Gentlemen of the Convention: hanking you for the favor which you have ac- corded me and for the great consideration which has been extended to me during the time I ve presided over your deliberations as temporary presiding officer, I take pl ure in introducing to you your permunent presiding officer, Hon, Patrick A. Collins of Massachusetts, ‘This was the occasion of an outburst of ap- plause which lasted so long that cries of down, Sit down,” were heard from dif parts of the hall. When order had been re stored Mr, ollins spoke as follows he chairmanship of a convention filled by the foremost men of the party, wis appreciated by him as a distinction of the highest character, The young of the nation, he said, had heard more in their time of class aims than the principles of government; so it he chair appointed ticut, Hon. Roswell wuas that the question was asked and scarcely answered: “What difference is there between the two parties?” The spaaker replied to the question with a pithy summary of the political cread of Thomas Jefferson, the apostle of democ. racy. This, General Collins added, was the golden economic rule that no more taxes should be levied upon the people in any way than is necessary to meet the honcst ex penses of the governwe True to these princinies the d cratig party had fought successfully. Our for z.;fl Wars protected our citizens in every clime, compelled the respect of all nations. Fear of our flag added mmperial domuin to our territory und insured peace, prosperity und happiness to all people falsé 0 these principles. The great federal, whig and know-nothing parties went down uever to rise azain. Aud now here t)-duy were the represeutatives of the party that had all _others survived united, triumphant, invincible democrac, prepared to strike down forever its last surviving foes in November. This country Dus been the asylum for all gocd wen from over the earth who flee from want and op pression and wean to bgcowe Awericaus, and we mvite and welcotn® only friends to this | ground and liegemen to the republic, Our institutions cannot éhange to meet their hos- tilities nor be so much as sensibly mod- ified, save by thé peaceful and delib- erate action of our people in accordance with the constitution or laws of the land, and that man 18 no true American who, knowing what we are, will by wor or action, experiment in any way = attempt to weaken the foundation of this splendid political_structure of the republic of the Uhitod States, Goneral Collins warmly and at length eulogized the administration of Presid dent Cleveland, as having triumphantly just fied his election. The demo:racy now stood on the edge of another and perhaps a greater contest, with relation to electors, than held beforn for generations—that of the responsi- bility for the great trust of government— no longer critics, but critici: They were confronted unserup- ulous and desperate foe. There would be no blur on the record that would not be magni- fied into a blot, no circumstances not tor- tured and misrepresented, no disappointment not exaggerated into revolt, no class not sought to inflame, no passion’ not attempted to rouse, no fraud that would not be willingly perpetrated. But the app of the democratic party is not to passion or to prejudice, to class or to faction, or race or creed, but to the sound common sense, intelli- genco and patriotism of the Ameri ple. Upon its matchless record fo four years, and upon their earnest efforts as yet incomplete to reduce and equalize the burdens of taxation the democrats enter the canvass, neral Collins closed by appealing to the patriotic, independent citizens who four years ago forsook the old alliance and who since that time have nobly sustained the adminis- tration to remember that it is a fatal error to weaken the political organization by which great reforms have been achieved and risk them in the hands of their known adversa- ries, The democratic temple is open to all, and 1if in councii they could not agree in all things their motto, nevertheless, was: *In essentials, unity: in non-essentials, liberty; 1n all things, charity.” Collins spoke in a voice which, though not great in volume, was sufficiently clear and distinct to enable him to be heard in every portion of the hall. He was frequently in- terrupted with loud applause and his refer- ence to the long and finally suc cessful efforts of the democratic’ party, to obtain control of the reins of government was especially well received by the assem blage, who loudly applauded. The refer- ences to the name of Cleveland also provoked enthusiastic applause whenever they oc- curred in the chairman’s remarks. At th conclusion of his speech, Collins was again roundly and warmly grected, INTRODUCING RESOLUTIONS. Sorrow Over Sheridan's Sickness—A Woman's Appeal Srt.

Merrewither of St. Louis then ap peared on the platform and was received with cheers. She spoke as follows: “Gentlemen of the Democratic Convention Time and again the women of this country have appeared before your legislative bodies as well as your grand political conventions asking that the practices of this government re it does not ise or any solution be ¥ be .made to conform in principle— the ~ ‘basic principle, the fundu- mental principle, to ' the foundation stone on Which rews the government of equal rights. Yet throughout this broad land no- where yet do equa its prevail, On the one side we see the privileged and growing class, one-half of the people of this great so- called republic, yet living in precisely the sume political solitude their forefathers lived in under the kings of | England, before the colonies rebelled.

After cight minutes of bedlam _ Chairman Collins pounded for order, but with every thump of the gavel arose o see- tion of yells from the assembiage, At this juncture Daniel mounted a chair in the centre of the New York delegation and waved a flag. - From all parts’of the hall delegates gathered in_about Dougherty bearing the standards of their respective states and formed in a circle about him holding in & sort of canopy over his head the placards bearing the names of the states, The standards of Indiana and Kan- sas wore decorated with strips of black silk, indicating adherence to the cause of the present commissioner of pensions, Under the canopy formed by the standards a couple of United States flags were introduced and the tableau was grected with pandemoniac cheering, When the demonstration subsided compara- tively, John B. Castleman and A. J. De dineito of Kentucky carried a standard on the platform and planted it beside the chair- man’s desk to emphasize the second which Kentucky proposed_on Grover Cleveland, Eighteen minutes of unadultorated bedlam seemed to be enough to suit the delegates and they sank back into their seats.

ST, Lovis, June 6,—McKenzie of Kentucky then took the platform and addressed the convention as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: 1 bear the commission of the state of Kentucky to this convention and in the name of the common: wealth that has given to that state a Clay and a Crittenden, 1desire to sccond the nomina- tion of Grover Cleveland for the office of the presidency of the United States, Within the broad limits of this great land there is but one more popular democrat and that 1s the queenly woman he has made hts wife, [Great applause.] It must be Mri Chairman, a matter of felicitation to every good citizen within the limits of our land that the historic white house around h cluster so many memorics t v to every patriotic heart, is presided over by a man who has the courage to enforce obedience to bad laws until they be repealed and commen the enactment of good ones until they shull be enacted. At the same time its social destinies are guided by the fair hand of the uncrowned queen of our American womanhood. I never intend to let Mus.

The state of Kentucky loves Cleveland for the reason that he has had the courage to storm the entrenchments of subsidy and monopoly by recommending such judicious revision of our tariff system as to will sccure equality in the distribution of public burdens and lighten the exactions of labor. He has had the courage to inaugurate such a war on that horrible misnomer called trusts, as that before this national eampaign shall close it will cease to be a popular race for a dog. He las had the courage and patriotism to regard the presideney not as a personul perquisition acquired by purchase or the discovery of diplomacy or s.but he has regirded presidency as a_great public oftice confirmed by the unbought suffrage of the people, to be administered wiscly, fairly, judiciously, im- partially, honestly in the interests of every body.

While others have wavcred ahd others have written doubtful messages, he has written a me to the present American congress that has about it the dircetness and force of a Ken tucky rifle_cartridge. In a lawyer's lancé, it had about it the energy of u capins pro fine and the foree aud effect of u replevia bond. Now, gentlemen, this is the one instance in the history of American politics where we had & man who furnished in s own person a first class candidate and a thoroughly democratic platform. He Las done his duty: = let us do ours. I want every democrat, male and female, within the body of this most magnificent de! got uberative hall 'in the world, consccrated to the holiest purpose outside of the christian religion—1 want every one to go home after these exercises with the democratic benedic tion, and, if it shall please God to provide that in addition to Grover Cleveland, one of the guides along the clear line of the de mocracy in its march to victory shall be o red bandana, [Applause.] In conclusion, M, Chaivman, Tmove to sispend the rules and make the nomination of Grover Cleve- nd for president of the United States ubso utely unanimous.
