OurNext President.
In the first bal.ot for presidential
candidate, taken last night, Cleveland
received 392 against 426 for the field.
Wrhole nu m ber of votes 820 : necessary
to a choice 517. On the second ballot
which was taken this morning, Clevel
land received 499 votes, a gain of 107.
and as soon as the result wa3 announc
ed a number of States, led by glorious
old North Carolina, changedtheir votes
to him and Governor Cleveland on the
second ballot was made the Democratic
candidate for President of these United
Sta'es.
As was forecast by us yesterday
Grover Cleveland, of New York,
was to-day nominated in the Demo
cratic Convention at Chicago on the
second ballot as tho candidate of that
1
party for President of the United States
No ballot has jet been had for Vice
President and but one, we believe, will
be taken at all. We think that Mc
Douald will be nominated to-night,, on
the1 first ballot, for Vice President. The
candidates of the Convention will sure
ly be elected next November.,
