ST Louts , Mo , Juno 0. [ Special Tele-
guim to Tin : Unu.J It was long after the
hour sot when the convention opened. Every
scat was occupied on the floor and in tlio gal-
lei ies when Tempoiary Chairman Whitewith ,
a voice like a foghorncalled the convention
to order. General Collins , of IJoston , his
successor , assumed chaigo in a c.ucfully
prepared speech , delivcied as if ho
was afraid of the crowd and had
left his voice in his v.iliso at the
hotel. But the oIToct was conscientiously
chccicd. That was what the crowd was
gathered for , and it did Its duty. Wlnlo ios-
olutions weio being offered and i cad , wills-
pjis flo ited mound that n bitter wr.mglo on
the tin iff plunk was progressing in the room
of the conimittco on resolutions. Tobo Cas
tor hunicdly appro ichcd Sterling Morton
nnd brought n message from Walter-
son Sovor.il of the Pennsylvania and Now
York delegates had their he ids together
nnd managed to scud the mess iges dow n
stalls. Tlio impression on tie ! lloor of the
convention was vended shortly by the an
nounccment that the committoa on resolu
tions would not bo able to report before
Into in the evening. It was still further cor-
roboiated by the news that the prospects
were even better for a wider straddle than
that of the platfoim of Ibbl. The nuus
was leccived with evidences of disapproba
tion.
CLiVI MND XOMIVATUD.
When Missouri was called there were
loud calls for Vest. Mr. Vest did not re-
Hpond. The name of New York ovoKcd loud
cries for Follows as did that of Pennsylvania
for Scott , but neither gentleman came foi-
ward. The crowd was getting very noisy
nnd disorderly. Texas hud a delegate who
jcarncd to make n few icmaiks and ho was
permitted to pipe a few sentences when the
crowd called him off. At 1:15 : the motion to
suspend the rules and declare tlie nomination
of Grover Cleveland unanimous was put and
cariicd amid another buist of yells , catcalls
nnd cheei s.
When Tvviugs sat down to ovciybody's re
lief theio weio loud calls for the icmalns of
lan Voorhces , but the corpse declined to
exhibit Itself. The call was repeated when
Indiana was reached but nnt no icsponso
liyion C ! Stout , a wild looking individual ,
with the voice of a .Mormon elder and the
manner of a camp mooting eshortoi' , fanned
the air with his arms and bo0'.in on behalf of
Michigan to second the nomination. Ho was
lomllj guyed by the convention and galleries
Nothing excited so much enthusiasm as his
icmnik that ho had done.
The nomination of Cleveland by Mr.
Dolighcity piodiucd ono of the giandest
ovations over accorded to .man. The speech
was a inagnillcent production nnd was dc-
llvciedwitli splendid effect. It fanlj'Rot
the vast audience wild witn oxcitcment und
enthusiasm , which lasted for over half an
hour in fact until tlio convention could not
yell any longer. It was an exhibition of ox-
ttavagant npplauso that is seldom witnessed
This demonstration were out the convention
BO that practically nothing fuither was done
to day and the remainder of the work went
over until to-morrow.
THE eoJiMirrui : ox riATrouvt
have been in session since fi o'clock last even
ing. It Is quite evident that this conimittco
is packed b > the piotectlonlsts , although the
picsldent in hm hist message to congress
made a platform for his pattj on the taiilT
question , Tlio conimittco is so oigunlzcd ,
nnd if icpoitb aio tiuc , Mr Cleveland will
not icceivo the ciuloi.soment nt the hands of
the convention which ho Is entitled to by all
the rules of puity action upon this impoitnnt
question If the rumois nro to bo believed
the expicssion of the committee on tan IT ic-
form will show the president pulling ono way
und the committco another. It Is not bo-
lloved the convention will adopt this straddle
If any member of that body has the couiago
to make the light on the rc | > ort when pro-
Edited to the convention. The dcmociuts
who do not get Into conventions do a heap of
good tiMking on the tin I IT which is not put
Into piactical use by conventions. Thoio
marKablo feature about the matter Is that
every convention which sent delegates hero
Bquarely endorsed the president's views on
lovcnuo reform which is likely to bo lost by
the muninulatlQiis of the bosses in the con
vention assembled.

Brother Jim North who voted thioughout
with the protection stiadalcrs In the com-
juiltco on platform and against Mr. Clovo-

tcrbou. Continuing on this line It Is also suld
thut ho voted w ith the pit ; iron sti addlcrs of
Pcnnsjlvinlaon every piopobltiou , which of

of Nebraska will not tnko much stock in this

The Nebraska liricnds of Mr. Cleveland are
especially dlsgiuntied with Committee Man
Not th and swear by all the goas at otico that

licntcnant , North , for carrying out his ncrco-

this tnno in the usual four i cars' icunlon of
the Nebraska democrats. Ho probably
would have taken n hand , but how could ho
when ho was kicked out of the delegation in
the Ilrst round Instead of mixing In thcso
bnd smelling brawls the gentleman from
Nebraska City has taken his case by having
n pleasant tlmo with his friends from other
parts of the country. To day , it Is said ,
Tobias Castor rushed up to Mot ton Inform
ing him that Henry Wnttcrson wanted to
sco him nt once at the committee room.
Morton quietly Informed Castor that Mr.
North t cprescnted Nebraska on that coni
mittco and ho could not go , and continued
his convcination with the gentlemen with
whom ho was talking. This Is mentioned
only to show the gall with which some
Nebraska democrats are loaded. Castor did
as much as he could to keep Morton from
coming to St. Louis nnd wound up his
friendly services by assisting In pitching him
out of the delegation after It arrived her * .
The republicans of Nebraska , however ,
canno' , object to all this for theio is , music in
the air. Tlio larger portion of the Nebraskans
leave for homo to night.
M.IIIIASKK MfV IN ST. I.OUIS.
A number of familiar Nebraska faces
were seen In the gallery , J. J. Ulckey ,
L. 11. Korty , and Purchasing Agent IJurns
of the Union Pacillc occupied
scats In the llist gallery. Diiectly
in the i car of the platform , Hugh Murphy
and Tom Lowry , m their shirt Sleeves ,
watched the piocccdlugs from the
second gallery , diiectly over the
portuiit ot Cleveland. Lowry attracted
attention by diopping a string and hauling 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. Gov crnor Mor
ton atti acts much attention from prominent
democrats. John Shervin of riemont sat on
Ills ilcht , nnd Cook of Beatrice on his
loft. Boyd and Jim Creighton hob nobbed
together on a fi out seat. Gcorgo Crawford
vainly attempted to secure a seat among the
reporters of the daily press. Charley Urow n
with a brovva rcpoiter's badge pinned to his
coat sat In a piominent picss scat. Mike
Gadnon , who has icccntly located in Omaha ,
and who solemnly vowed last winter that ho
had forever eschewed politics , looked on the
piocccdings with the same degree of pleas
ure that marked his political career in Iowa.
Gannon , like Jim Bojd , would swear oft pol
itics to day and be in the thick of the light
to morrow. Like Ins expciienco in Iowa , ho
will undoubtedly be found on the hustings
this fall wasting his silvery eloquence ad
dressing meetings in a state that is as sure
for the i cpublican nominee us the common
wealth he came ftoui.
OKEiIlVM l-01'ULAR IX INDIANA.
Thurnian's nomination to morrow morning
is assured. Had the convention not ad
journed it would have been promptly made
this nftcinoon. Doubts are fieely expressed
to night whether Giaj's name will bo pie
scnted. His friends , however , are making a
Until und desperate effoit to-night to force his
nomination on the giound that it is the only
hope of saving Indiana against Gicsham ,
who is conceded to bo the coming choice of
the Chicago convention. Mr. Shinikland , a
member of the Indiana delegation , said to
night : "Indianians nrc stiongly in favor of
Gray , not only for poisonnl reasons , but also
because wo believe his nomination to bo
nccessaty to the success of the democratic
p.nty. Theio is no use in disguising the fact
that Gicsham would nmkou very stiongraco
in Indiana. His war iccord is excellent and
ho has thousands of friends. Our men nro
fond of seeing one of their fellow citizens In
high alike , and if , the Indiana democrats
think that thej .110 slighted nnd left out in
the cold bi the democrats they would bo
only too likely to vote the icpubliean ticket.
The Grand Aimy vote Is also very
strong , and if they saw two civilians
nominated on the demociatic ticket nnd not
ono soldier , while tlio lepublicau ticket was
headed by a gallant oflleer the consequence
would bo most disastious. When it is ic-
membeicd thut with Indiana but ono doubt
ful state is needed to secure the election of a
i cpublican pi csidont , the impoitanco of se
curing that state is manifest. No one , least
of all Thin mnn himself , will claim that
theio is the smallest chiinco of his cairylng
Ohio , und high as Mr. Thurnian's reputation
is It can not bo reasonably claimed that ho
would bo as strong in Indiana usu native of
the stato. Gray scums to bo the most avail
able man for the position. Ho has n line
war recoul , is a staunch democrat and has
invmiubly run ahead of his ticket
in his own state. With him
there is no chance of losing Indiana , as the
delegation is u unit for him , but without him
the candidacy of Gresham would bo fiolghted
wrth the most dangeioiis possibilities. How
ever it may bo in the cast the soldier vote
can not bo disregarded in the west. Grcsliam
is immensely popular , and n mistake might
well bo fatal. With nil respect for the ex
ulted character and gtcat abilities of Mr.
Turn man , woof Indiana , do not think ho is
the man to be named In the nppioaching con
vention "

The most Jubilant muii over tlio temporary
adjournment of the convention are the St.
Louis hotel keepers The action of the con
vention assures them another day to llceco
thu public. Nothing like the rapacity of St ,
Louis lias ever been known before in tlio his-
totyof either party. Evety ono Is eiirsing

COLLINS sriroii. :

Domodrncy.
ST. Lot-is , Juno 0. Tlio chair appointed
W H. liarnum of Connecticut , Hop. lioswcll
P Flower of Now Yoik and the Hon. John
O'Daj of Missouri a committco to escort
lion Puti ick A. Collins to the chair.
When Collins had mounted the platform ho
wasgiceted by a shako of hands by Mr.
White , tlio temporaiy chaiimau , who then
said :
Gentlemen of the Convention : Thanking
jou for the favor which jou have ac
corded mo and for the great consideration
which has been extended to mo during tlio
tlmo I have piesided ovoi jour deliberations
us temponity presiding olllcei , I take pleasure -
uro in intioduelng to jou your permanent
presiding olllcer , Hon. Patt ick A Collins of
Massachusetts.
This was the occasion of mi outbuist of up-
plnuso which lasted so long that cries of "Sit
down , Sit down , " were beard fiom dilToient
pints of the hull. When order had been 10-
stored Mr. Collins spoke as follows :
The chulimaushlp of a convention
filled by the foremost men of the patty , wiis
appreciated by him as u distinction of ttio
highest character. The joungof the nation ,
ho said , had heaid mot o In their tlmo of class
aims than thopiinclples of government ; salt
was that the qucitlon was asked and
Eeaicely answetcd : "What dilTerenco
is thcro between the two parties ) "
The sn.iKor replied to the question
with a pithv summary of the political cieod
of Thomas Jolleison. the npostlo of domoo
i.icj This , Gcneiat Collins added , was the
golden economic i uio that no moro taxes
should bo levied upon tlio people in any way
than is ncccjsarj to meet the honest ex
penses of the goycinmeiit Tiuo to theao
IW.'iV'es ' Uio dcmoera' pirty ha.d
fought Successfully. Our fotclgu vv\na
ptotectcd our citizens In every
clime , compelled the respect of nil
nations. Fear of our Hug added nnpoilul
domain to our teititoiy und insured peace ,
ptospqiity und happiness to alt people fulso
to these principles , The gic.it fedeinl ,
whig and know-nothing pnitiea Ment down
uuror to risa a uin. And now hero t : day
wuio the representatives of thopart.v that hud
survived all others united , triumphant ,
iuvlnciblo democracy prcpircd to
sttlka down foi ever iU last
buiviving foes in November This country
lias been thu usjlum for all gO"d ji.cn fiom
over the earth who ileo from want . nd op
mean to become Americans , and
wo invite and welcome only friends to this
ground and liegemen to the republic. Our
institutions cannot change to meet their hos
tilities nor bo so much as sensibly mod
ified , save by the peaceful nnd delib
erate notion of our people in accordance
with the constitution or lawaof the land , and
that man is no true American who , knowing
what wo nrc , will by won ! or action ,
experiment in any way attempt to
weaken the foundation of this splendid
political structure of the republic ot the
united States. General Collins w ( irmly and at
length eulogized the administration of PrcsiJ
dent Cleveland , as having triumphantly Justi
fied his election. The dcmojiacy now stood
on the cdpo of another and perhaps n greater
conic-st , with relation to electors , than held
bcforo for generations that of the responsi
bility for the great trust of government-
no longer critics , but criticized ,
They were confronted by a wily , unscrup
ulous and desperate foe. Thcro would bo no
blur on the record tlrnt would not bo 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
bo willingly perpetrated. Hut the appeal
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
gence and patriotism of the American pee
plo. Upon Its matchless record for the last
four years , and upon their cai nest efforts as
yet incomplete to roducn and 0-p.ialbo the
burdens of taxation the democrats enter the
canvass.
General Collins closed by appealing to the
patriotic , Independent citizens who four j'cars
ngo forsook the old alliance und who since
that time have nobly sustained the adminis
tration to rctnombcr that it is n 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 ,
nnd if in council they could not ngrco in all
things their motto , nevertheless , was : "In
essentials , unity : in non-essentials , liberty ;
in all things , charity. "
Collins spoke in n voice which , though not
great In volume , was sulUciently clear and
distinct to enable him to bo ho ird in every
portion of the hall. Ho was frequently in-
tci runted with loud npplauso ami his refer
ence to the long und finally suc
cessful cffoits of the dcmociatio piity ,
to obtain control of the Veins of government
was especially well received by the nssem
blage , who loudly applauded. Tim refer
ences to the name of Cleveland also provoked
enthusiastic nppluuso whenever they oc
curred in the chairman's icmarks. At the
conclusion of his speech , Collins was again
loundly nnd warmly greeted.

for them , how is it notfilavciy for us. I am

of this convention down to the end of tnno
itself. Hut if , gentlemen , jou refuse this
plain principle of right and justice then I
suggest to jou that vou add to jour platforfti
of principles the following preamble and res
olutions :
Whcteas , All history proves that educa
tion unfits human beings for n condition of
subjection , and awakens in the human soul
asnltatious fet larger llbeity und higher life ,

WhcivMs , During jhe last fifty jeais the
lulers of this land hue committed the gicat
mistake of peimitting a subjectei class to
enter schools of learning , thcieby expanding
their bruins and uultkcning their thoughts ,
and breeding disaffection against our time-
honored rul" Thcsq women going to and
fro over the land knocking at legislative
doois demanding to know why the glorious
doctrines of deinocracvshould not apply to
women us well as to men ; and
Whcieas , All history proves that the
greater and denser the ignorance in which
the clast is held | considerable confusion I

lic und private , to the female children of the
country. Wo ndviso and urge that it bo

with furious energy worked their voices and
their bodies In their efforts to testify their

ST. I ouis , Juno ( ! . II. II. D. Twlggs of
Georgia Mr. President and Gentlemen of
the Convention. Tim gic.it state of Georgia ,
which I have the honor to represent on this
occasion , is proud to second the nomination
of Grover Clov eland. Gentlemen of the con
vention , monopoly has said to the people of
the south , "You nro poor ; build up jour
factories , diversify i our industries. Piotee-
tlon has made UH opulent ; it wlllimiuo jou
likewise. " The state of Geoiglu , already
vocal with the music of a million spindles ,
has given back her icply , lifting aloft her
pioud and untarnished shield on which is in-
ECiibcd her motto , wisdom , justice and
modulation. > ho has said to this nitful
Inibo : "Wo may bo so , but wo nro unwill
ing to giovv lith by levying a tiibuto upon
the people. " Gentlemen of the con
vention , the twenty-four delegates
fiom Georgia have como to this convention
heating with them but u single commission ,
and that commission is to cast the vote of the
state foi that matchless leader whom our
late convention in its platfoimof ptlnciples
characterised us uniting tha wisdom of
Jefferson with the thinness of Jackson nnd
the patiiotism of Washington. [ Cheers ] .
What is tiuo of Georgia is tiuo of cvcrj other
dcmociatio state heto rcpiesented , audit
might bo truthfully stated that this vast as-
Eemblagj of patnots und demon .its may bo
called but a formal coin ocation assembled to
gether to ratify the action of the sovoieignty
which 1ms nlteady spoken to the great demo
cratic masses of tlio country With elbows
touching uo have marched in a solid and un
broken phalanx to this great city bj the
father of waters. Upon each flowing banner
is inscribed but u solitary numo und that
name has been their pillui of cloud by day
and their pillar of flro by night
That name has been fliovcr Cleve

bus redeemed that pledge. No further pledge
is necessary to Insure .1 continuance of that
ncrow devotion to dutj which has been ex
emplified by his maleuk.- * . , unsullied and
splendid administration. Ho has not only
won the applause of his countrj men but the
plaudits of the clvillml world , "Well done
thou good and faithful servant , " Helms
laid the foundation of good government , of
honesty nnd reform so vvido nnd deep that
the principles undcrl.v ing the govcrnment'of
our country nnd the permanency of our
institutions nnd the insprcad of
the principles undcrl.v ing our federal
sj stem that they have found their highest
and grandest exponent under his matchless
leadership. When ho found that tha people
of the United States wcio being mercilessly
lobbednnd plundered by the rapacity of
monoiKillcs under the gulso ofprotcctlon , and
when ho found that the great agricultural
industry of the country was bound hand and
foot like I'rowetheus upon the rock , when the
air was dark wittx vultures and kites which
had settled In devout Ing Hocks upon its
bosom , tearing with their merciless beaks
the vitals of this prostrate giant , It was then
that Gtover Cleveland turned his back u\xm \
the blandishments mid expedients of ofnco.
With a swoop like a rovnl ouglo , ho ciuuo to
