By TeleRraph to State Chronicle.
Chicago, June 23. The first indica
tion of organized life in the wigwam this
afternoon was at 1 :30, when the Demo
cratic club of Indianapolis marched into
the hall following the two banners. The
New York delegation came in very
quietly at 2:15. Although the conven
tion time of meeting was 2 o'clock, it
was not until 2:54 p. m. that Chairman
Wilson called the body to order. Most
of the delegates were in their seats and
the galleries were quite well filled.
Gov. Porter, of Tennessee, offered a
jesolutioiTUr limit ' nominating speeches
to five minutes, and seconding speeches
to two minutes each. The resolution
was greeted with applause and adopted.
The call of States was then begun.
Alabama asked to be passed. Arkansas
nominated Gray, of Indiana, without
comment. The name was greeted with
applause. Colorado gave her place to
Indiana, and Jno. E. Lamb took the
platform and in a highly eulogistic ad
dress nominated Hon. Isaac F. Gray,
Colorado, gave way to Illinois and Mr!
Worthington took the platform to nomi
nate A. E. Stevenson. Mr. Worthing
ton said that he stood here to name asa
candidate a man known by every woman
awl child and voter who ever licked a
postage stamp in the land a big, big
hearted, brainey man, whose courtesy
was rarely equalled and never excelled.
In conclusion he presented a candidate
"who does not have to get a certificate
from a labor organization to prove he is
a friend of labor Hon. Adlai E. Ste
venson, of Illinois.''
R. J. Vance, of Connecticut, rose in
his place to second the nomination of
Isaac P. Gray. Idaho also mci n.ied the
nomination of Gray. When luwa was
called the chairman of the delegation
said: "Iowa has no candidate to pre
sent." 1
When Kansas was reached L. A
Scott, of Indiana, seconded the nomi
nation of Isaac P. Gray. When Kentucky
was called Hon. John S. Rhea took
the platform. He said that he
came from the home of the star
eyed goddess, to second the nomination
of Mr. Stevenson. "Kentucky took her
democracy, like her whiskey, straight."
The roll call proceeded without inter
ruption until Michigan was reached,
when Hon. F. F. Uhl took the platform
and nominated Allan R. Morse. When
New York was reached Governor Flower
arose and announced that New York had
no candidate to present.
North C arolina for MeveiiNoit-
Mr. Elias stood on his chair when
North Carolina was called and
seconded the nomination of Steven
son. He said that if Mr. Steven
son was wise enough "to be in the cab
inet of the Hon. Grover Cleveland" he
was fit to run on the ticket with him.
When Ohio was called there were cries
of "Campbell," but the chairman of the
delegation announced that the State had
no candidate to present. The chairman
of the delegation announced that Wis
consin would present a candidate through
Gen. E. S. Bragg. Taking the platform
Gen. Bragg nominated Hon. John L.
Mitchell. The rain by this time was
pouring down so heavily that its noise
almost drowned Mr. Bragg's voice. A lot
of pieces paper about size of note paper
had been distributed among the dele
gates before the convention met bearing
the words "Grover, Grover, four more
years for Grover. In he goes. Out they
go. Then we'll be in Clover." As the
band struck up the air, the Pennsylvania
delegates began to eing, and, presently,
the whole convention was singing,
"Grover, Grover." The New York dele
gation did not join in the singing.
Michigan did, and vied with Pennsyl
vania in its vocal efforts. Then the
band played "Dixie" while the convm
tion exercised its lungs in vigorous
cheering.
The chairman ordered the roll to be call
ed upon the four candidates. Alabama
started out for casting its solid vote for
Morse; Arkansas led the Gray column,
and California dived between Gray and
Stevenson. Connecticut voted solidly
for Gray; Delaware for Morse; Florida
cast 6 votes for Stevenson and two for
Gray and seven for Stevenson; Idaho
voted for Gray; Illinois gave her entire
forty-eight votes to her favorite son,
Stevenson ; Indiana, of course, supported
Gray with her 30 votes; Iowa broke in
upon the routine by announcing that her
twenty-six votes were cast for that dem
ocrat of democrats, Henry Watterson.
Kansas, voted for Gray. Kentucky cast
12 for G ray, 12 for Stevenson and 2 for
M itchell. Louisana voted for Stevenson.
Maine voted 4 for Gray, 7 for Stevenson,
one absent. Maryland 12 for Gray, 4
for Stevenson. Massachusetts, 4 for
Gray, 5 for Morse, 20 for Stevenson.
This made Gray and Stevenson a tie.
Michigan cast 28 votes for Morse. Min
nesota voted 18 for Gray. Mississippi 9
for Gray and 8 for Stevenson, 1 for
Morse. Missouri voted as follows:
Stevenson 16, Gray 10, Morse 8. Mon
tana scattered 5 for Bourke Cochran, 1
vote for Lambert Tree, of Illinois. Ne
braska voted for Mitchell, 6 for Steven
son, 3 for Gray. New Hampshire solid
for Stevenson. New Jersey, 19 for
Gray, one for Stevenson. New York
was called amid excitement and cast 72
votes for Stevenson amid tumultous
cheers. This put Stevenson 43 votes
ahead, North Carolina followed suit
with 22 for Stevenson. North Dakota
voted G for Gray. Ohio gave 4 to Gray,
4 to Mitchell and 38 votes for Stevenson,
thus increasing his lead to 93, amid
cheers. Oregon voted 8 for Gray.
Pennsylvania said, voting its individual
preferences, it voted 4 for Mitchell, 6 for
Morse, 17 for Stevenson, the balance and
the majority of the delegation for
Gray, but under the unit rule the 64 votes
would be cast for Gray. This left Gray
only 21 behind. Rhode Island gave
8 to Gray ; South Carolina voted 18 for
Stevenson; South Dakota voted 4 for
Stevenson, 2 for Gray and 2 for Mitchell;
Tennessee 14 for Gray, 8 for Stevenson,
Stfefe
RAIEIGH,.N.
1 for Boies and 1 for Morse; Texas 4 for
Gray, 26 for Stevenson; increasing his
lead once more to 49. Vermont reduced
this lead by 8 voted for Gray but Vir
ginia cast 24 for Stevenson, bringing it
up to 67; Washington voted 8 for Gray
West Virginia 4 for Morse, 4 for Steven
son, 4 for Gray; Wisconsin 24 votes for
Mitchell ; Wyoming voted 6 for Mitch
ell; Alaska 1 for Mitchell, 1 for Stev
enson ; Arizona 5 for Stevenson, 1 for
Gray; District of Columbia 1 for Mitch
ell, 1 for Stevenson, making Stevenson
a total of four hundred. New Mexico 5
for Gray, 1 for Stevenson; Oklahoma 2
for Stevenson; Utah 1 for Morse, 1 for
Gray; Indiana Territory, the last on the
list, voted for Gray. Total, unofficial,
Gray 343 ; Stevenson 403. The rest scat
tering. Iowa withdrew her 26 votes for
Watterson and cast them for Stevenson.
Montana changed her votes to Stevenson.
Nebraska changed five votes from Mitch
ell to Stevenson and five from Gray to
Stevenson. Stevenson was declared the
nominee, which was made unanimous,
and the convention adjourned.
Don. Dickinson Talks.
Soon after the nomination of General
Stevenson had been announced by the
chair, Don. M. Dickinson met represen
tative Springer in the aisle and the two
exchanged warm congratulations. Mr.
Springer was especially demonstrative,
and, in response to the statement by the
Illinois representative that the work was
magnificent, Mr. Dickinson modestly
responded : "I don't think we missed any
point in the politics of the contest viewed
from our standpoint of the situation."
Leaders of the Cleveland campaign
who had conducted it to such a trium
phant issue were congratulated on all
sides and their view were briily, but
graphically expressed iu the words of Mr.
Dickinson.
Stampede in the Wigwam.
Chicago, June 22. During the con
uention this afternoon an electric light
fell, which caused almost a stampede for
a few minutes.

Senators on the Nomination.
Uy Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
Washington, June 23. Senators and
members of both parties to-day talked
without hesitancy on the nomination of
Mr. Clevelaud.
Senator Allison (rep.) of Iowa said Mr.
Cleveland was the candidate to be ex
pected, and outside of the situation in
New York, it was the strongest nomina
tion that the democrats could have made.
Senator Dixon (rep.) of Rhode Island
said Mr. Cleveland seemed to be the
easiest man for the republicans to beat.
Senator Peffer (F. A,, Kan.) who with
Mr. Kyle, of North Dakota, represents
the people's party in the Senate, was
very reticent.
Senator Kyle said he thought it was
the best- nomination that could have
been made to further the attainment of
the objects of the people's party.
Senator Faulkner (dem.) of West Vir
ginia, said : I anticipated the
of Mr. Cleveland. I think he is strono-
enough to win.
Mr. Pendleton (dem.) of West Vir
ginia: There is a large element in this
country which does not adhere closely to
either party. That element will support
Grover Cleveland more heartily than any
man in this country,
Mr. Kilgore (dem.), of Texas, who is
an enthusiastic supporter and admirer of
Mr. Cleveland, said: "The best nomina
tion the party could have made."
Speaker Crisp characterized the nomi
nation as well as his name by saying:
"Good platform; good nomination; we
will elect Cleveland."
Mr. Lanham (dem.), of Texas: Not
my choice, but having been nominated
by the National convention, we abide its
decision.
Mr. Abbott (dem.), of Texas: A better
nomination could have heen mndn in Mr
Morrison, but we shall support the
Mr. Culberson, (dem.) of Texas: Mr.
Cleveland was not my choice but the
representatives of democracy having de
termined that he was under the circum
stances, the proper man to nominate, all
will abide the result and loyally support
the ticket,
Mr. Dockery, (dem.) of Missouri:
Cleveland's nomination was demanded
by the democratic masses and assures a
democratic triumph.
Mr. Bentley, (dem.) of New York:
In response to that sentiment demanding
the nomination of Mr. Cleveland,
which has mastered all opposition,
I shall look to see the democrats
of New York fall into solid
phalanx, and the thirty-six electorial
votes of the Empire State cast for the
nominees of the Chicago convention.
Mr. Blount (dem.) of Georgia: It is
the strongest nomination the party could
have made.
Senator Blackburn (dem.) of Ken
tucky, said of the nomination : That is
the last subject in the world on which I
wish to talk.
Mr. Crosby, (dem.) of Massachusetts:
It is a good nomination.
The Press on the Nomination.
New York, June 2:5. The World sajs:
The democracy of the nation has dis
played the courage of its convictions. It
wanted Grover Cleveland as its leader
and it has placed its standard in his
hands.
Boston, June 23. This morning's
Herald say editorially that Cleveland's
nomination was us spontaneous as any
since the second choice of Lincoln. It
was emphatically a people's nomination.
Chicago, June 23. The GloU this
morning says editorially: In Grover
Cleveland the democratic party has its
ideal leader. His wonderful career and
uutamished record need no eulogium at
this time.
St. Paul, Minn., June 23. The Globe
says: Cleveland's triumph is due to
many causes, not the least powerful of
which was the personal influence of W.
C. Whitney. Mr. Cleveland himself,
however, is the architect of his own vic
tory. The democracy would have been
false to itself t.nd to its platform had it
turned its back on Cleveland and pre
ferred another.

CONVENTION ECHOES.
DETAILS OF THE BALLOTING
EARLY YESTERDAY MORNINU.
Later Reports From the Session Which
Named Cleveland as the Standard-Rearer.
By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
Chicago, June 22. There wa3 great
confusion early this morning when the
State of Alabama was called, and it was
with difficulty that the chairman made
himself heard to announce the scattering
vote of the State. The next vote Ar
kansas, solid 16 for Cleveland, -was
greeted with a storm of applause. The
call proceeded without incident until
Illinois was reached, when the chairman
announced that on the poll of the dele
gation there were 36 votes for and 12
against Cleveland. , Under the unit rule
he cast the 48 votes for Cleveland.
"Gentlemen," the chairman said,
"Kentucky asked for time as some
wished to change their votes." When
the vote was announced, Cleveland had
18 DUt of 26. The New York delegates
applauded the Louisiana vote which
gave Cleveland only 3. The roll call
proceeded, and Ner York solid 72 votes
for Hill was greeted with applause,
Ohio vote was awaited with interest'.
When it gave 16 votes for Boies, the
Iowa men set up a mighty yell. As the
roll call proceeded . the excitement be
came intense. It culminated when
Alaska cast her two votes for Cleveland.
There was growing excitement. Both
the Hill and the Cleveland leaders were
around the Arizona delegates waiting
the announcement of their vote. It had
been supposed that Arizona and
New Mexico which had been
given additional representation in
the convention would vote with the
anti-Cleveland people. When the chair
man of the Arizona delegation got the
floor and announced five votes for Cleve
land there was wild and renewed cheer
ing and much confusion, both in the gal
leries and on the floor, that it was im
possible to transact business. Then the
District of Columbia was called and cast
her two votes for Cleveland that gave
him all but two-thirds of a vote of the
607 necessary to nominate. New Mexico
settled the question the next minute when
she announced four votes for Cleveland.
A South Carolina delegate went to the
clerk's desk and had a vote
changed from Boies to Cleve
land on account of an error. The
Texas delegation changed its vote to 30
for Cleveland. The West Virginia dele
gation to 12 for Cleveland, the Maryland
delegation to 16 for Cleveland, the Ken
tucky delegation to 22 for Cleveland.
Mr. Neal, of Ohio, moved to suspend the
rules and make the nomination by accla
mation. He was ruled out of order
John W. Dau:iei Speaks. .
Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, took the plat
form and said: "The democratic people
of the United States have uttered their
voice through the lips of their chosen
delegates. By that voice it has been de
cided that Grover Cleveland is the nomi
nee of each and every democrat iu this
convention. A voice, "So he is," (cheers).
In behalf of the delegation from
Virginia, which came here divided to
day, but who go home as one, on
behalf of every true hearted democrat
that loves the great banner of the people,
1 move that there be but one voice and
one sound from every democrat in this
convention and that by every tongue the
words shall be uttered that Grover
Cleveland is to be the leader in this
grand campaign. (Cheers.) We can,
we must, we will, my countrymen, carry
the great democracy to triumph. Mr.
Daniels remarks excited the greatest en
thusiasm, but the chair was unable to
get order for a crowd of New York peo
ple were crying out to Governor Flower,
Lieutenant Governor Shehan and others
of the New York delegation to second
the nomination, but the New York
delegation sat silent when the vote
was put and from other parts
of the hall came some emphatic negsv
tives. The convention hissed at. this and
the hissing continued until Governor
Flower got on a chair. His lips moved,
but his words could not be heard beyond
the limits of a circle just about him. He
was trying to make the nomination unan
imous. Those who heard him cheered.
Bourk Cochran jumped to his feet and
said as there was some dissent uttered
when the motion was made to declare
the nomination unanimous, he would
state that the vote of New York in full
submission to the convention was cast in
the affirmative. Cheers greeted this an
nouncement and Don Dickinson imme
diately moved an adjournment. The
motion was carried and at 3:47 a. m.
the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
Official Vote.
Chicago, June 23. The official vote
of this morning was: Cleveland 617 1-3;
Hill 114; Boies 103; Gorman 35 12;
Stevenson 16 2 3; Carlisle 14; Morrison
3: Campbell 2; Pattison 1; Russell 1;
Whitney 1. Total 908 1-2. Absent
three delegates entitled to 2 1-2 votes.
In the confusion incident to the clos
ing hour of the convention no announce
ment was made of the official ballot for
President, or even of the official stenog
rapher's record of the balloting. The
table sent by the United Press this morn
ing was compared with the official table of
the convention stenographer as the vote
of each State was recorded. It is an ab
solutely correct record of the vote of
each State as announced by its chair
man to the convention during the roll
call. Senator Hill Returns Thanks.
Chicago, June 23. Edward Murphy,
Jr., received the following telegram this
morning:
Hon. Edward Murphy,
Auditorium Hotel,
Please express to the New York dele
gation my heart-felt thanks for their
steady devotion to my candidacy and
for the gallant fight which they made to
preserve the rights and dignity of the
regular democratic organization of Iew
York State.
Signed David B. Hill.
Tammany Talks.
Edward Murphy to-day said: "We
have the hardest campaign of fighting
to go through that ever was undertaken.
In a few short months we have got to
overcome a remarkably strong sectional
prejudice."
Richard Croker said: "Tammany Hall
will do its share toward supporting De
mocracy and making it triumph."
New Y'ork Will Support Cleveland.
The Tammany leaders make no threat
of bolting the ticket. Mr. Cleveland's
friends repeat their assurances that the
nomination of their chief will bring to
the ticket in New York additional
strength.
Gov. Roles Well Pleased.
Des Moines, la., June 23. A corre
spondent of the United Press interviewed
Gov. Boies at his office in the capitol
this morning. He said : "I am pleased
with the nomination because a majority
of democrats wanted it, and further be
cause Mr. Cleveland is a good man.
There is nothing about the nomination
which is not satisfactry to me."
Gov. Boies this morning sent the fol
lowing telegram :
To Grover Cleveland, Buzzards Bay.
Accept the hearty congratulations of
all Iowa democrats and be assured none
will be more devoyed to you than myself
and those I am proud to number amon"
my friends in this State.
(Signed) Horack Boies."
Cleveland' Keoiie When Notified.
Buzzard's Bay, June 23. A United
Press reporter was the first to convev the
iu luu vieveiana nousehold. .None
had yet received it. Mr. Clevelaud and
his guests were all awaiting news from
the convention. The ex-President was
heartily congratulated on all sides upon
the result. Governor Russell expressed
his delight and predicted that the demo
crats, with such a standard bearer, were
assured of a glorious victory at the
polls. Mr. Cleveland said that he wae
deeply touched by this latest mark of
esteem from his party. He felt confident,
he declared, that his fellow countrymen
stood ready to place the murk of ap
proval on true democracy, and persistency
iu the advocacy of these principles was
all that was necessary to Bucceed. He
did not think that differences in demo
cratic conventions were at all hurtful,
but in view of the importance of a demo'
cratic success he could not conceive any
reason for lack of hormonv or nnitrrl n,,ri

Congratulation to the President.
Buzzards Bay, Mass , June 23.
Early this morning the wire in Mr.
Cleveland's house was at work pouring
in congratulations to Mr. Cleveland from
all parts of the country. Before the
tired out telegraph operator resumed his
post at the private wire in Gay Gables,
over forty messages had been recived at
the Buzzard Bay telegraph office.
About 10 o'clock the telegrams began to
come in pretty lively. They were from
people in all positions, in official stations
as w ill as civil life. A reporter for the
United Press called at the Cleveland
house this morning. Mr. Cleveland,
Mrs. Cleveland, Gov. Russell and Com
missioner Jefferson were at breakfast.
Mr. Cleveland met the representative to
whom he said in reply to a question as
to whether he had any further message
to make public concerning the work of
the convention. "I have nothing to say
beyond what I have already given out.
The convention has not yet finished its
labors, and until it has, it seems to me
that anything from me would be out of
place and open to misconstruction."
The Nicaragua Canal Discussed in lh
Senate.
By Telegraph to the .state Chronicle.
Washington, June 23. (Senate.)
In the Senate to day the credentials of
Mr. Aldrich for his senatorial term, be
ginning March 4, 1893, were presented
and read. On motion of Mr. Hawley the
House bill appropriating 50,000 for the
pedestal of the Sherman statue was
passed. Mr. Morgan took occasion of
the introduction by him of a reso
lution for printing additional copies
of the report of the commit
tee on foreign relations on the
Nicaragua canal, to make some remarks
on the subject. He was much gratified,
he said, that this question had taken a
i a t .
nou-political aspect ana that both
National conventions bad idpdrpd lioir
r
parties to construct the canal. He con-
graiuiateu niraseu ana tne county on
this and added that the committee on
foreign relations would not rewort its
bill until after the election in No

took exception to the remarks of
Mr. Morcran llr cuir) tlw rnnulilixun

the Nicaraugua canal plank in its national
platform while the democratic party
meant nothing. Mr. Peller (people's
party) of Kansas, criticised the reply
made by the Secretary of the Treasury to
the resolution calling for a statement of
the currency received since 1861; said
it was in no sense an answer to what the
resolution called for. To Mr. Pef

A long discussion ensued in which the

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.
FIRST t;i NS SOUNDED TIIKOI ;ll
OUT TIIE STATE YESTERDAY.
A Large and Enthusiastic Ratifica
tion Meeting In Raleigh
Last Night.
The Democratic campaign of 1892 in
North Carolina was formally opened
yesterday and last night throughout the
State, and the demonstration in Raleigh
wasstimulated by that party enthusiasm
worthy, truly., of a capital city. At S :30
p. m. Fayetteville street was ablaze with
bon fires, and the parade of the Knights
of Pythias band added life and interest
to the occasion a meeting of Raleigh
and Wake democracy to ratify the
work of the Chicago convention
and when the assembly was called
to order by Mayor Badger, Metroinditat,
Hall was well filled with young and old
- democrats all. After a motion that
the representatives of the democratic
press be made secretaries, Capt. Coke
was called ujon and responded in a fif
teen minutes speech in which he eulo
gized loth members of the National
ticket and predicted success in Novem
ber. He said to properly appreciate Mr.
Cleveland, contrast him with his po
litical opponent. Benjamin Harrison;
that he owed his nomination in par
ticular to his able defence of
that one plank in the platform which
contrasted more than any other, t he
political differences of the two. He
spoke in advocacy of tariff reform and
dwelled upon the friendship of Cleve
land and democracy to the laborers of
America. Here the hour in which he
was nominated, at the dawn of day. in
troduced a sentiment that as the work
ing people thought America were goin
to their daily labor, a chief justice, a
friend to the workingmcn, was nominated
the highest office in their gift a protec
tor. He spoke of Cleveland as the "pure
statesman and honest man." He then
referred tthe second name on the ticke
A. E. Stevenson, of Illinois, and said
that every North Carolinian should work
with renewed courage in that they were
voting for a native born "Tar-Heel." He
referred then to the personel of the re
publican ticket and especially to White
law Reid, commonly known as "Rat"
Reid, and to his insults to the
South. In referring to the platform, he
said the platform adopted at Chicago
was a paraphrase almost of the wise dem
ocratic platform of the recent State con
vention in this city. Mr. Coke was
followed by Gen. W. R. Cox. of Edge
combe, who eulogized Cleveland, referring
to the remarkable record he made while
president, and of the honor shown
him by this, the third consecutive nomi
nation. Said no fears should be enter
taiued in nominating orrrting for one
so universally loved by the people of
America. He said Cleveland was de
feated before by blocks of 5 and by fraud,
and predicted overwhelming victory in
the coming elections. He referred .to
him as the candidate of the people who
would be elected by the people
and said he had no enemy save
among the corruptionists and spoilists.
Rev. J. J. Hall responded to a loud call
from the audience and eulogized Cleve
land particularly on his honesty and
noble, manly motives and career. Said
the people respected those traits of char
acter and honored such. He said Cleve
land loved the truth, was willing to be
tried by the truth and that has made him
a man respected by all and disliked by
few. Capt. S. A. Ashe followed
briefly, referring to the tc
casion, the significance of it and the
importance of democratic
with a eulogy for the ticket.

At this juncture Mr. A. B. Stronach
moved that the assembly organize itself
in a Cleveland -Carr Club, which was en
thusiastically agreed to. On motion.

adjourned.
The mention of the names of the Na

applause throughout the proceedings,
especially that of Cleveland. It w;,s
