UOIIll NOMINATION * .
The unfinished business of yesterday , bointr
the call of states for nominations , was ronnnod
Manson , of Missouri , came to tha platform
und matio a nomination ppeoch. Ho said the
itato ot Missouri would have riven 82 stalwart
democratic votes for the old ticket lioadod by
the Sago of Grammorcy and hU vcnoratod
friend from Indiana ( Mr. Hondrlcks ) . As
they could not hiuo the old ticket ho hadbonn
casting about to tea nho was the man who , In
the emergency , should load the embatllod
hoetg of democracy to n grand and glarlous > ic-
tory. Nothing short of a blunder could make
the democracy lese the election with twenty-
five democratic governors and twonty-throo
democratic legislative representatives. 153
electoral rotes out of 401. Nothing
but a fatal blunder could make the democracy
lese the election. The man who was Pxkon ]
of an "Tho noi'lost Koman of thorn all , " Allen
G. Thurman of Ohio , [ Cheers ] , wasthonmn
loload to % lctory. llo therefore seconded
that nomination. Ho had looked in Mr.
Thurman's face yesterday and recognized In
dim "Tho collossal democrat of the country.
TIIK IlliJMAIuflC OF AMKIIICA , "
With Thurman ns their standard bosror
they could carry Ohio and Now York and Cal
ifornia. In proof of this statement
ho repeated a conversation ho
had with General Splnola and
other Tammany men and road telegrams
from Ohio and California. In conclusion ho
declared before God that the democracy was
hungry eon unto death , not for tbo venal
diwlls of olllco but for the glory of doing good
to their fellow beings. ( Laughter nnd ap-
plnnio )
htvingston , of Missouri , ror.o to second the
nomination of G rover Cleveland but the
chairman stated that It would require unanim
ous consent. "No matter , " said Livingston ,
"tto have got our work In anyhow. " [ l.iui/h-
tor. ]
Thos. 12. Powell , of Ohio , came to the plat
form to put in nominotion the namu of
uov. HOAHLV or onio.
Ho declared that if thu democracy wai true
to itsdll IU success In the coming struggle waa
already assured , Within the last few years ,
ho said , the state of Ohio hat ! overcome a
republican majority of over 103 , 00 and at
this hour the government of Ohio wan in the
keeping of the great democratic party.
The man who had boon tha
acknowledged loader In bringing
about that change waa the candidate whom
ho now presented , Gov. Goorgn Hoadloy , of
Ohio. [ Homo applause. ] Mr. Hoadley had to-
coivcd tlio largest endorsement ever given tea
a democrat in Ohio , getting 19,000 more votes
than Hancock bad received In 18SO. ilo wai
known to the nation as a great lawyer , a wise
statesman , n foarlo.is and agrcssivo leader , a
man of acknowledged ability , of undoubted
integrity , and a man of courage as well OH oE
wisdom.

The etato of Pennsylvania bavin ? been
reached in the call , Senator Wm. A , Walker ,
of that state , came to the platform to nomi
nate Mr. Uandoll. He said : By tbo direc
tion of tbo Pennsylvania delegation I can.o to
prtfiont the of a candidate for the great office
of president of the United State * whoso life
work Is found on every page of your
country's and your party's hiBtory
In the last two docados. [ Applause. ] It Is
that of no untricdjtyro in political affairs. It
is that of a man in the prime and vigor of his
matured mauhood , with every faculty trained
in practical trovornmont , nn official life of
twenty yours lies behind him , clear , luminous
and pure. No dishonest action , no corrupt
practice has ever stained bis escutcheon. [ Ap
plause , ] While most of his contemporaries in
official life have grown rich through devious
and unknown moans , ho is still a poor roan ,
[ chcera ] whoso highest aim has boon fitly to
serve his people and tbis republic. Democrats ,
the hour has struck for the nomination of a
democrat grounded in the faith and tried in
the atom crucible of party's service.
The pathway of exnodioncy lies behind us
strewn with old wrecks of our failures Let
ui be honeit now ; let us stand by the record
of our own pure public man ; let us boldly ap
peal to the people on that record and spurn
the deluiivo promisor of cair bitter foe. The
name of such a man wo bring you.llis practiced
hand , bin experienced f rtpfght , bin conver
sance with public affairs will lay the founda
tions of your return to power so broad , so
wldo , no deep that they will bo peimincnt.
[ Applauao. ] Ho boa been practically
tbo leader in tbo national house of roprcsonta-
tivca for 17 yearn , favoring a reduction
of taxation and an economical administration
nf [ the government. Ho has with skill and
success resisted the lavish oxpoudituro of the
money of the people , the waste of the public
domain and unconstitutional and
tyrannical force bills , [ Applause ] .
Ills iron will hai put tha knife to corrupting
extravagance and compelled a return to
cumpuratlvo purity of administration. Ear
nest in purpose , pure in lifo aud in the tribune
of the people , and a * a statesman no fa\or
can sway him and no fear cau awe. This man
Pomibylvanln presents to the democratic con
vention as her candidate for the mighty office
of president of the United Stutoi In the per
son of .Samuel K. llandall. [ Loud applause
and cheers. ]
HKCOXDINO HANDAI.L.
Governor Abbot of Now Jersey , seconded
the nomination of lltiidall. Ho said that
there waa u conviction iu the land that If
wisdom controls tha councils of the democratic
party iu making a platform broad enough for
every democrat to stand upon and in _ placing
upon it a candidate of transcciulunt ability nnd
pure lifu , buccwi lies In the tesultx
of their deliberations , lie tho'ight
Samuel > T , Kamlull aa the candidate would
reach tbo controlling vote in the pivotal states
moro certainly than any ono of the dls-
tingulHb d men named. Ho asked where
doei BUCCCSH lie ? Not in Mlnno.-oU , not in
Iowa or other of the continued republican
states , but in those cloio status carried by
Tilden in 1870. Ho reviewed the
arguments urged for Cleveland and said
thciio all appllitd to Thurman. Bayard
and othern. Then what excuse in putting
aiido theao grand dcmocratlo veterans for n
now man , The record of Kandall is pure nnd
atultloHfl , whllo his public career for twenty
yearn has bcun in behalf of an economical , an
honest government. There are practical U-
forts fur reform. Ilandull would sweep Now
Jcruoy Hka n great political cyclono. Ho Is
the friend of laborers everywhere , nnd the
convention could do no better than to nomi
nate him
The call of the roll of states for nominations

whom tlio democracy could give would bo
none toojgood to carry the banners of democ

alted as the nominee could bo , no one could
bo moro flo than Thomas K. Dayard , of Dela

the Now York delegation wan bound hand aud

if it forced iiK > n tlio democratic party thn
man who had rent the garment of BUCCCKS in
Nmv York , the party would lese the utato of

with working mrn opposed to the graiping
greed of monopolists , and ho dea'aml to the
convention , riming the labor clement of the
country , that it they tried to put thu torn car-

of thn democratic party , they would
banish the labor votes and lone the election.

Mr.Iisroy Yeoman , of South Carolina , nleo

AMKANHAH VOIl CLKVKI.AND.
M. M. Kose , _ of ArkaiH.is { Htated that after
much consultation and consideration thn Ar-
kanxa.1 delegation bad decided unanimously
to cost its votes for G rover Cleveland , of Nuw
York. AB to the objection that Mr. Cleveland
had enemies at home the reply was that no
man could with fidelity to principle nduiinis-
ter the oflico of governor of Now York with
out making onoin es at home. If they found
n man without enemies they would find a intm
who had not that elevation of character nee-
cKRary to the candidate of a great party.
IIIIAUU SECONDS CLEVELAND.
When the fctato of Wisconnln WM called it
was announced that a majority of that delega
tion had voted to support the nomination of
Governor Cleveland nud had nsnlgned the
chairman , General Urogg , to second tba nomi
nation. General Urngg declared that tbo
young democrats of Wisconsin loved and re
spected Mr. Cleveland. Not only for himself ,
for bin character , for bis integrity , judgment
and iron will , but they "lo\ed him most for
the enemies that ho had made. " [ Knthusias-

Grady , of New York , hero rose nnd shouted
out that tbo enemies to whom the gentleman
alluded reciprocated that pontimout. [ Very
general hissing , ]
Itrngg Haiti ho waa thankful to the gentle
man for calling himself to his attention. Ho
spoke of the difgracoful spectacle which tlmt
gentleman bed presented yesterday , and said
that the opposition to Cleveland came from
tnoso whom ho had cut off from the llesbpots
The viloAt , eaid ho , may defile a splendid
htnluo , but they noccHinrily disgrace them
selves. The men who talked about the "rights
of labor" worn political trickster , who placed
their camp wben'ver there WSH n prospect for
profit ; , l.ut honest , intelligent , horny-bunded
laboring men would bo found following tlio
old democratic flag. The labor of those polit
ical tiickfito.ru had been on the crank of the

the only euro for them wan in a free applica
tion of rope. [ Cbeord. ]
NKW lUMr.siuiii : von CLEVELAND.
Henry O. Kent , of New Hampshire , also
secondid thu nomination of Mr. Clinoluml.
Ho said that New Hamp liir i was to-day ono
of the doubtful Htat ° a. tbo democracy being
only in n minority of fi.OOO , and ho believed
that with the right candidate that ntato might
bo turned oor to tbu democracy. Success was
a duty. The lecord of Jan.es G. Ulaiuo
boded no good tu the republic. Should bo be
made , president , they might almost tremble for
constitutional liberty. He , therefore , in behalf -
half of Now Hampshire , and in behalf larguly ,
ho believed , of ISuw Kngland , seconded ilia
nomination of thn man who had been tried
and found worthy , andwhouould rally to his
rapport moro fully than any other nun , the
independent vote of the country , whichdi'Hired
reform in politics. In contradiction to the
assertion that Goiornor Cleveland could not
carry his own state , ho cited tbo authority of
Kx-Senntor rrancis Konmi , of New York ,
of Ifmatio Seymour , of New York , and of
Samuel J. Tilden , of Now York. [ ( Jhoori ) . ]
BX-St.VAlOIl DOOI.ITTLC ,
of WiHCoiihlu , also seconded the nomination
of Mr. Cleveland , declaiing bin belief that
with that candid.xto the democracy would
carry tbu electoral vote of Wisconsin , and that
bo would moro surely than any ether candi
date carry thu electoral vote of Now York.
Ho , therefore , appealed to the convention nut
to _ throw away tbisjreat ; opportunity , bicniiho
with Clovuland and reform , the democracy
