the samo rules and order of business that

plauso, the Massachusetts delegation '
getting upon its chairs and veiling. ,
Charles K. Boyle of Pennsylvania se
cured the passage of a resolution undoi i
which all further resolutions should go
to tho committee without reading. But 1
it happened that Delegate Timothy J.
Campbell of Now York had In his haud
a resolution expressing sympathy with
Gen. Sheridan In his Illness, and without
stating its purport he asked unanimous
consent for Its consideration. A storm
of objections came from all parts of tho
hall, and It was not until Mr. Campbell
had stated tho resolution in no way re
ferred to tho platform, that objection
was withdrawn and ho was allowed to
proceeiL There was applause when Its
nature became apparent and It was

Tho representative of tho women of
tho country was now presented. She
proved to bo Mrs. Eliza Merrlwethcr of

"time" compelled her to como to an
abrupt conclusion. Sho retired from the
platform with great disappointment and
chagrin.
Mr. Daniel Dougherty was named

Grovor Cleveland.
When this talented acquisition by

tho vast audience knew no bounds. Even
i this outburst, however, was put In tho
shade by tho storm that met his (Irst
mention of the president's name, and at
Ills declaration that New York pledged
him her electoral vote tho hall was in an
i uproar, delegates yelling themselves
hoarse. There appeared to be no end to
tho enthusiasm, the bauds all playing
and everyone standing on his chair.
He said:
"1 greet you, my countrymen, with
i fraternal regard. In your presence I bow

New York presents him to the conven
tion, nnd pledges her electoral vote.
Delegations from thirty-eight states aud
