THE OMAHA DAILYT'BER: FRIDAY want Mr. Stevenson on the ticket,” he said, “hecause we in Kentuoky take our politics as we do onr whisky; we believe that Mr. Stevenson is a man who believes that to the victor belons the spoils.

He prosented the name of Chief Justice Allen B. Morse of tho Peninsular stato, New York boin, Flower. “New York has present,” he said, North Carolina seconded the name of Stevenson, and then thero was a skip along the states on the roll til ‘fexas was _reached and its volco was lifted for Isaac P. Gray. John Goode of Vieginia got on his chair ana sont up his endorsoment for Stevenson. Washington, 1n the effusion of a pouring rainstorm op the roof and uneasy galleries, made a great speech for (iruy ‘Thon came up gray haired” Dolegate Bragg of Wisconsin to put up the name of John Li. Mitchell of that state. The rain was so furi- ous that no voico could make itse!f heard. S0 Mr. Bragg sat aown and waited for the din to subside. Meantimo the baud struck up tho baby song from “Wang" and the entire Pennsylvania dolecation jumped up on their chairs and sang these words : irover. Grover, four moro years for Grover, “1n he Lo tthe. Then s Pavorite, Fdwin alled, up vose Govornor o candidaty to o'l bo In olovor." Yelled for More Muste. The cheers and shouts that accompanied tho catehy music was hearty, tho band was compelled by tho cheors and calls for more 1o keep tho air constantly goiug for ten min- uies. Then they played ‘Dixio” and a hornpipe, and tho crowd yelled and cheered. And all the whilo the rain poured down from a black cloud 50 donse that without the electric aro lights rocognition of persons ten foot away would not have becn possible iu tho hall. The lightning was vivid and, as a background to the band, music and the din of tho con- vention, rattiing and booming thunder rolied almost 'constantly. There crept into the wigwam the tidings ot a big fire in some lightning struck strocture in_the city, The storm penotratod the flat roof of the great convention wigwam, which resemblesa Hud- son river ico house, and trickling threads and streams of water foll upon the deiegates and spectators. Umbrellas wera hoisted all about the hall end the club banners were stowea away for safety. [Kinally, after nearly three quarters of an hour, Mr, Bragg resumed his speech for Mitchell. Nobody heard it save the stenographer. Oklahomu came under the Stevenson um- brella and Alabama, which had been placed as second on tho roll call, came up with Morse of Michigan, as the son of a doad e svoko for tho ex-soldier of Michigan, Commencement of Roll Call, Then the nominatjons being covcluded the roll eall was bewun. Alabama Joad off without askip for Morse, Arkunsas camo in with her sixteen for Gray. Califoraia split right squaro in the middle —nine each for Grav and Stevenson. Tilinois’ forty-eight were plumped into the Stevenson basket, but Towa first stirred the crowd. *“We cast our solid voto for Henry Watterson,” said the chairman, and there were cheers. Tho biggest broezo of the roll call swept the couvention when Governor Fiower stood “on his feotand stated that Now York was solid for Steverson, seventy-two votes, The breezo grew to a gale of appiause. 1t sub- sided only to riso ugain when North Carolina stepped into tho Stovenson column. When Obio shook out thirty-eight of her forty-six votes for Stevenson the excitoment grow, and when tho Keystone stato dropped sixty four votes into the hat of Mr. Gray the coun- urrent of cheering caused a cloudburst nfusion on the convention floor, “\isconsin's Lwenty-six votes for John " ‘Maio it Sullivan,” shouted a voice from tho gallery, and tho' convention roared with laughter. When the noise subsided Wisconsin cast her vote for John L. Mitohell, When the yote +7as finished tne figures showod Stevenson 402 and Gray 843—mo choice. Delogate King said that The Votes Came In Fiocks, Then began the changes. Jowa first came into the Stevenson camp, Montaua uext, fol- lowed by Nebraska. Ohio got iuto line, Mis- souri tumbled over the wall, Georgia, close behind, came next. The flock of states out- s1do the Stevenson column came to him with atush of wings aod flutter of feathers. It becamo only a question of time, ana when the two-thirds vote for Stevenson had been obtained the nomination was announced. ‘The usual resolutions of thauks to the of- ficers were pussed and the national commit- tee on notifications completed., Genvral Patrick Collins of Mussachusetts then took the platform aud moved that tho national committee should at the next national convention provide accommodation only for the delegates, alteraates, the press, the national committee and for no others, This was domanded in view of the galleries' intorruptions made possibie by sn indiscrim-, inate distribution of tickets. " The resolution’ was before the house when one of the elec- tric aro lamps fell among the delegates, and a stampede was imminent for a brief time, No harm, however, was done. The Collins resolution, aftor the confusion had subsided, was referred to the executive committee of the new national committee. At 5:20 the convention adjourned sine die.

[Great applauso,) Yesterday Grover Cleve- lana was the choice by a majority of the democratic party. Today ho is tho unani- mous nominee of the domocratio party [ap- plause], and tho question which confronts tnis convention is, whom shall it bo that will have the honor to hold up the hands and the arms of ¥he candidates who carry the banner of democracy in this campaien!

Bourke Cockran, [applause] whose name I love to honor, told this convention that Now York was us rock-ribbed as Texas for any democrat that could bo nominated by this conveniion. [Applause.] That bewg true, the thirty-six electoral votes of New York are solid for that princd of democrats, Gro- vor Cloveland. [Applause.| I come from a state which is tho cester of the political pattle field of the grent west. A state which hns given to the history of American voli- tics tho immortal name of Thomas A, Hendricks, (Loud applause.] Whenever the democratic party has listened to its advice, whanever you have honored the state of Indiana with @ place upon your ticket, whether it was in the grand battie of 1870, the fruifs of which victory were stoien from us, or 1n the grand bartle of 1834, whon you had Indiana on vour ticket you had democratic victory. |tinthusiastic applause. ] And now in behalf of that state, which has never faltered, which has never sulked, which has fought over every inch of ground, 1 desire, upon behalf of tho united delegation from Indiana to ask this convention to make fifteen votes in the electoral college certain by placing upon your ticket the name of that honored leader who never lost a bal- e, Hon. Isaac P, Gray. [Cheers long and loud.] As to our candidate, ne has been tried fu tho balauce and never found wanting. [Applause.] In the great contest of 1839 ho carried the state of Tndiana for governor by-1,000 more votes than Cleveland and_Hendricks did. What more can 1 say for him. ‘I'he tongne of slander has nev been able to pierce his democratic armor. For twenty years ho has fought the battles of democracy.

It has withw its borders more than ono favorite son whom it would bave delighted to honor, and who are worihy of all the political honors that could be conferred upon them, but here in this great city of Chicago, in this great common- wealth of Iliinols, bordering upon the lake and the jlississippi, in the center of this great republic, the Gemocracy, catch- ing the vibrations of the ground swells that como from the south and the east and west, put asido its favorito sons, for the time huried its state pride, and echoivg back to Texas, Connecti- cut and California with forty-eight votes, shouted the name of Grover Cleveland.

Like his great leador who bears vour banner, he belicves that a public oftice is » public trust, but he believes also that the democrats are the best trustees of the public trust. Nor cau pride” of oftice make bim proud or haughty. 1 appeal to every senator and congressmun here if ever e found haughtiuess of oftice, chiling indif- ference of little brief authority in the atmos- phero of the room of the assistant postmaster general during Cleveland’s administration? Gontlemen, We have nailed our banmer to the mast. A democrat nover surrenders. Wo propose to mako true what our ropublican fricuds say of us—that we do our quarreling before convention and tizhting against our enemies afterwards.

At 2:07 the Gray club of Indianapolis with their velvet banuer, on which was inscribea the namo of Indiana’s governor, marched ¢ into the hall preceded by a band playing “Auld Lang Syne,” and were received with ayell from tho delegates present and the audience.

That lawyer was Hon. Allen B, Morse, its presont chief ' justice. His adversary was Hon. Thomas M.

At this point the rain came down in tor- rants and tho voico of the speaker was on- tirely drowned and hoe was obliged to await the storm's subsigence, The following selection was then sung: “Grovor, Grover, four mors years of Gr over, In hé govs, Out they go; Then wo'll be 1n olover.'* ‘The whole convantion joined in the unique refrain, and while the thunder rolled and the rain smote the roof and dripped through on the heads of the crowd, the vast chorus rose and fell like the waves of the sea in a gale. Sovoral attempts were mude to do con- vention bysiness, but while the storm was on it was the rogular order and all mo- quiesced in tho edict of & higher authority than that of the convention chairman. Tho bana did its best to enable the peoplo to enjoy the enforced wait. “*Marching Through Georgia” by the bana was recoived less heariily than “Dixie,” but helped to while away the last section of the fiftcen minutes interruption by the unruly elements, When order was partially restored the chairmun requested General Bragg to re- sume ms address, which he did as follows: General Bragg's Add ““At an early hour this morning '¥e nom- inated Grover Cleveland, not of New York, but Grover Cleveland of ' the United States.

When Montana was reached two new candidates were sprang in the persons of W, Bourke Cockrao of New York, who got nine votes, and Judge Lambert Tree of Illinoss, who received one. When New York was reached and Gover- nor Flower cast its seventy-two votes for Stevenson there was tremsndous cheering, and an evident attempt to stampede the con- vention for Stevenson, the Iilinois dolegation stanaing up, shouting'and waving their hats, The attempt, however, was s failure, for the chair beld them down with his gavel, North Carolina immediately trailed on with twenty-two for Stevenson, und the yelling was renewed.
