' "Owing to the Intonio bitterness pro voKCd by factional contests In tuo state ot New York , I doubted very much the avail ability of Mr. Cleveland. That , however , Is a question of fact which has bcon adluot- coted by the representatives of the peopio In this -national convention. These representatives came from nvcry part of the country , aud are positive that Cleveland Is available not only available , but the most available of all candidates. Of his availa bility , therefore , tbero can no longer bo a question of doubt. Personally and politically ho has always been mv llrst choice , but I honestly opposed him because of my fears of the state ot Now York. Tbero is no man whoso election to the bleb otlloo of president would glvo mo more intense satisfaction. " Will llolp the Ticlcot In Now York. "The nomination of Mr. Stevenson for vice president , " continued Mr. Springer , " * lll udd great strength to the presidential ticket. Ho Is strong whcro Mr. Cleveland is weak , nnd bis nomination will glvo strength In localities whcro Ihoro Is danger ot disaffec tion. A distinguished democrat of Ncu York , an adherent of Tammany , told mo this evening that Mr. Stovcnson's nomtuulioa \vould add many thousaud votes to tbo . lickot Iu New York. " "What do you think of the jilatformj" the chairman ot the ways and means committee was asked. "Tbo platform Is an admirable onoand pre sents the Issues uf tbo day clearly aud vig orously. Tbo tarln plank does not admit of cbubt as to its 'meaning , and properly interpreted will glvo great strength to our party. It clearly draws thu line botw eon a tnrlft for protection and ono for revenue. Tbo platform Is calculated to em- pbaslzo the fact that tariff reform Is a para mount Issue before the peopio , and our plat form will draw lira on this lino. 'I'licro Is no demand for the ro- pcal ot the McKlnley bill , but for the enactment ot u tariff law which will produce tbo necessary revenue for Iho sup- tort of iho government and that the main objvct of this law shall bo revenue. " Hoforrlng to the educational plaak , Con gressman Springer said : "Tbo democratic party Is In favor ot paternalism In the fam lly , of personal liberty in the state and ot commercial liberty under tbo uattonal gov * ernment.

HOW IT STKlltKS TI1KJI. Oiimha Demncnits i\pren < Their Opinion of Iho National Convention' * Work. "Tho nomination of Mr. Cleveland was against my judgment ai to bis availability , " said Dr. George L. . Miller , "owing to the conditions existing in New York mid the organized boll under tbo leadership of Mr. William II. Graco. Personally , the nomlua- llon Is highly Gratifying to mo. I regard Mr. Cleveland as ono of Ibo most powerful personages In American history. Ho is a truly great man. The deliberate Judgment of the national democracy Is that ho can carry Now York and also maun doubtful tbo heretofore republican states of Illinois , Wis consin , and possibly New riimpshiro. I ac-t coct this Judgment and am bound to oelluvo that Mr. Cleveland will bu elected although I think it would bo well for tbo democratic leader ship In nil states not to forgot that General Harrison is a vory.strong man upon Iho grounds of bolh personal character and pub lic record. Issues in a national campaign are not personal , however. Mora sentiment does not elect , our presidents. Tbo battle will bo fought on two great Issues the tarllT and coinage , and In tbo roar of the battle more nun will not count. " Mr. Canada , cUlm agent ot the Union Pacific , was m.uch pleased with the nomina tion. "Gorman was my first choice , " said ho , "but the proceedings of the convention proved tbat Cleveland- the strongest man that could have bcon nominated. I was afrmd that there was something tn the claim that Cleveland could not carry Now York , but 1 believe now that he Is stronger wltb the musses In Now Yorlc than any other man. " J. A. Matthews still- was of the same mind that he had been for the past six yearj. Cleveland was the greatest exponent of dem ocratic principles , and iho only man ibat could have been nominated. NatJJrown returned from Chicago this morning whore be went to help nominate Cleveland. He expressed the greatest satisfaction with the action of tbo conven tion. tion.Chris Chris Hartmon is another good democrat who Is for Cleveland first , last nnd all the tlmo. J. K. Glenn was In favor of some ono outside of Now York , but thought that the conven tion had acted wisely In view of the strength shown by the nominee. NOT Cr.UTAlN. Tummanrltes Are Not Orcr-Conllilent ol Currying New York Stnto. Cilicico , III. , Juno 23. Governor Flower of Now York said tbat ho had no criticism to maka upon tbo work of tbo convention. "Wo have laid our case as strongly as wo could before the court of llnal resort of tbo democracy ot the republic. Wo can only bow to Its conclusions nnd do all Ibo work wo can to elect the candidate. The condition of New Yorlc politically Is rather a curious ono.Vo have a very dif ficult light to m alto , and wo cer tainly would bavo preferred 10 make It with some candidate who would not have aroused opposition In our slaty. Tbo Judg ment of our party , however , wo accept fully and dually , and wo will do all for Mr. Cleveland - land that wo would have done for Hill , or Gorman or Gray. Wo feel that wo are handi capped , but New York may bo depended upon to do Ibo best wo can oven under tbo most adverse circumstances , it U my Judg ment that wltb burd work wo can perhaps carry the state. I do not lluo to raauo any promise , out If the stat can bo carried for Cleveland by loyal and faithful work , then nobody moro than ourselves will bn glad lo know that our fears were groundless. " What llonrke Cockran Snltl. t Bourke Cocuran of Now York bald : "In my speech lait night I gave reasons why I believed that (3rover Cleveland was not tbo most fortunatu candidate that wo could namo. My advlco was not taken and now I must take the advice of the convention. The convention advises Cleveland , aud for Cleve land all of our wcrk will bo dono. The Now York democracy will not sulk ; it will do tbo best it can. " Ulcbard Crokor of Noiv York occupied a sent bcslilo Governor Flower In the conven tion. Ho was oven moro taciturn than usual , and all ho would say In reply to the ques tions nut to. him was : "Wo peopio Iu Now York thought that wo know how tbo democracy could curry tbo stale. Tbo democracy has not aareed with us. Wo will try to obey the command given to u * last input , I hope for Iho best. Hud almost any olbor candidate boon nominated. I would have bron sure of ibo boat. That is all 1 have to say. " IliirruonVonlil Not Talk. WASIIIXOTOK , D , 0. , June 23.

Al'TKlt IT HAS ALL IIKUN IINU. How Slot cnson'ft Nomination Wan Brought About. CHICAGO , 111. , Juno 23. The democracy of the nation luivo named tholr presidential candidate , but It remained for Tammany ball of Now Yorlc to name the candidate for the vice presidency ; Illinois , the state whoso forty-olght votes at iho critical stngo turned the tldo in favor ot the nomination of Grover Cleveland , nnd Now York , tns state in the fnco of whoso protest the great popular leader wus named for the presidency , clasped band ) to da ) through tbo Intervention of Hon. William M. Springer of Illinois , and the bonds ot friendship botwocn the Kmplro and tbo Pralrlo state were cemented by the nomination of A. E. Sloven- son for vice president. When tbo day opened all were In doubt ns lo the selection of a candidate for vice president. Every dele gate that was yet Identified wltn Iho opposl- lion to Grover Cleveland was found to bo arrayed In an oven moro vehement opposi tion to the candidacy of Isaac P. Gray of In diana. There was n general desire on tbo part of these dlsconsolaios to wreak vengeance - goanco on the Indiana delegation for falling In line with Cleveland at the very tlmo When their opposition would have glvon to much comfort and substantial encouragement to those who had been making frantic endeavors to prevent tbo ox-prc.sldent from gelling the two-thirds vote necessary for his nomina tion. Knrly Manifestation of Opposition. It became early manifest that whatever ngroomont might have been entered Into by Iho Cleveland leaders of Now York , Penn sylvania and other prominent states to glvo Gray the vice presidency in return for the support of Indiaun for Cleveland , thcro was going to bo very determined opposition by Iho delegates gonorully lo tbo consummation of this program. Before daylight the Wis consin delegation had tbo lobbies of all tba principal hotels pasted with placards ocnr- Ing the Inscription : "For president , Grover Cleveland. For vice president , John L. Mitchell , " and It was at once known thnt the millionaire congressman ot Wiscon sin was a candidate for second place. Michi gan , too , suddenly came to the front with a candidalo in tno person ot the end-armed vcleran , Hon. Alien B. Morso. an eminent Jurist of tnnt stuto. It was at this stniro of affairs that \villIamSprlngorof Illinois , tbo distinguished chairman of the ways nnd moans committee of tbo national house of representatives , determined Ibat the nnti- Clevolund tnea should bo entirely Icuorod 111 this national convention. Hon. Bourke Cockran of Now York Is ono of Mr. Springcr.'s most active nontenants on ibo ways und means commiUcp , and Uon. John H. Follows und Governor Flower of the New York delegation have been the Illinois con- grcbsman's colleagues In tbo bouso of repre sentative ; ! , so Hint when tbo tnrlft reformer declared that Hon. A. E. Stevenson of Illi nois should bo presented as a vice presi dential candidate ho found the Now York delegation kindly disposed to glvo him every co-operation. New York Sottloil It. At the conference of the Now York dolega- gallon held early In the duy Mr. Sprlncor was present and announced authoritatively that Illinois would present Stevenson and cast Its forty-olsht votes ror him for the vice nrosldoncy. What took place at this confer ence no ono knows , but when Iho distin guished congressman omorsrod ho announced lo his fellow democrats of Illinois that the seventy-two votes of Now York would bo cast for Stevenson and tbat victory was .as sured. .To the convention at larzo the Intentions of the Now York 'delegation were a secret until that stale was reached on tbo toll call. Up to that 11019 Stevenson nnd Gray were loading with about equal stronglh and Morse and Mitchell were following in about the order named. Tbero was a period of almost brnalhloss silence when tbo name of Now York was called , and the slight hesitancy of Ibo delegation in responding ouj ! added lethe the Intensity of tbo interest. "Now York has sovonty-two votes for Hon. A. E. Stovenson. " said Governor Flower , and pandemonium broke loose in the enthusiasm that this remark inspired from the thousands of Illinoisans tbat thronged the galleries nnd crowded Iho corridors nud aisles. Wild Enthusiasm Knsucd. The remainder of tbo roll call was but formal. Slovooson at once bogau lo make rapid gains and at Iho conclusion of tuo roll call ono stuto after another requested recognition to chance their voles lo Iho Illinoisan , In a few minutes ho had the two-thirds required for a nomination , and the usual motion to maka the nomination unanimous prevailed amid the plaudits of the galleries and the wildest enthusiasm on the lloor. General Stevenson himself wns dis creetly absent from the lloor of the convention during the proceedings which were so vital to him , und his place as tbo chairman of Iho Illinois delegation was tem porarily tilled by ono of his colleagues from the Prairie state. The nomination of Stevenson has done much lo allay Ibo rancor of Ibo national con vention. Although a confident and great ad mirer of ex-Presldont Cleveland , no is the nntllhojis of the distinguished Now Yorker In hU position on the distribution of oftlnial pnlionago. .Stevenson ns tbo tlrst n&sslstnnt postmaster general under Cleveland made a reputation for lomoving republican postmasters aud appointing democrats which it required all the agility of Hon. James S. Clarkson of Iowa to rival when President Harrison made that gentleman the as sistant pastuasior general under ibo ro- publlcau administration. For this reason Gonur l blovonsjii is exceedingly popular wltb the element which is most acllvo In the opposition to Cleveland. Tbo ticket nomin ated by the convention of 1892 Is a conces sion to both of the great elements icto which the civil sorvlco theories of tlieso latter days bavo divided tbo national democracy. muss co.nuii.NTS.
