C111C400, June 23. There was great confusion early this morning when the State of Alabama was called and It was with difficulty that the chairman made himself hoard to announce the scattering vote of the- State; The-uext vote; Ar kansas, solid 10 for Cleveland; was greet ed with a stortu of applause, .' The call proceeded "Without Incident until -Illinois was reached when the chair man announced lat off'ffie poll of tne delegation there were 36 votes for and 12 against Cleveland. - .Qentioineii the dftirann sard KW; tucky asks for time as some wish to change their votes." When the vote was announced Cleveland had 18 out of 20. The New York delegates applauded tho Louisians vote which gave Cleveland only 3. The roll call proceeded and New York's solid 72- votes for Hill was greeted with applause. Ohio's vote was awaited with interest. When it. gave 16 votes for Boies the Ohio men set up a mighty yell. As the call pro ceeded the excitement became intense. It culminated when Alaska cast her two votes for Cleveland. 5 There was growing excitement. - Bo;h the Hill and the Cleve land leaders were around the Arizona delegates waiting the announcement of their vote. s It had been supposed that Arizona and New Mexico, which had given additional representation in the convention, would vote with the anti-Cleveland people. When the chairman of the Arizona dele gation got the floor and announced five votes for Cleveland tbore was wild and renewed cheering and much . confusion, both in the galleries and on the floor that it was impossible to transact business. 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 G07 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 bad a vote changed from Boies to Cleveland on account of an error. 1 ue lex as delegation changed its vote to 30 for Cleveland. The West Virginia delegation to 12 for Cleveland. the Maryland delegation to 10 for Cleve land, the KcntcKv delegation to for Cleveland. Mr. Neal, of Ohio, moved to suspend the rules and make the nomina tion by acclamation. He was ruled out or order. Mr. JJaniei, of Virginia, toon the floor. "The Democratic people of the United States have uttered their voice through the lips of their chosen delegates. By that voice it has been declared that Grover Cleveland is the nominee of each and every Democrat in this convention." A voice "So he is." Cheers. J "In behalf of the delegation from Vir ginia, which eame here to-day, but who go home as one, on behalf of every True hearted Democrat that bves tho great banner of the people, I move you that here 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 coun trymen, carry the great Democracy to tri umph." Mr. Daniel s remarks excited the great est enthusiasm. But the chair was una ble to get order, for a crowd of New York peoplo wore crying out to Gover nor Flower, Lieutenant Governor Hbee han and others of the New York delega tion 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 negatives. The convention hissed at this and the hiss ing 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 unanimous. Those who heard him cheered. Bourke Cockran jumped to his feet and said, as there was some dis sent uttered when the motion was made to declare the nomination-unanimous, bo would state that the vote of New York, in full submission to the convention, was cast in the affirmative. Cheers greeted this announcement, and Don Dickinson immediately moved an adjournment. The motion was carried, and at 8:47 a. m. the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Tammany leaders make no threat of bolting the ticket. They, however, repeat their ominous warning as to that silent Democratic vote which no machine can control and which they say they fear win tail to oe recorded for Cleveland tn November, but they disclaim any pur nose of activitv in interfering to brine about the result. Mr. Cleveland's friends, on the other hand, repoat their assur ance that the nomination of their chief will bring to the ticket in New York ad ditional sirengtn. CniCAno, June 23. Wiowam.1 The first indication of organized life in the wigwam mis afternoon was at i:3u, when the Democratic club of Indianapolis marched in with two banners. The New York delegation came In very quietly at 2:15. Although the convention time of meeting was 2 o'clock, it was not until 2:54 that Chairman Wilson called the body ty order. Most 01 me delegates were in ineir seats and the galleries were quite well filled. The chairman introduced the Rev Alfred Green, of Cedar Rapids, la., who delivered the invocation yesterday morn ing. He came forward and stood waiting lor silence. , As it did not come he said: "Will the delegates oblige me by taking their seats that I taay offer the opening prayer VI As the conversation continued, Mr. Green added: "We are about to engage In prayer, gentlemen; will you kindly cease conversation for just a moment f Silence being at last obtained, he pro ceeded.- ' In the course of prayer he referred to the "platform of the Carpenter of Naza roth' Land wove, la the phrase ''Public office la a public trust," at which familiar utterance, from mere force of habit and utterly regardless of the proprieties, some of the delegates broke out into applause. Mr. Green closed with a broad "amen,1 and a delegate corrected him by adding: Amen" with a strong accent on the "A." Immediately after the prayer the chair man announced that the next order of business was the naming of candidates for the nomination for Vice President. Gov: Porter, of Tennessee offered a res olution to 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 Isaac F. Gray ,"of Indiana, without comment. 7 The name waa greeted with applause. " ' -Colorado gaye her place to Indiana, and Jno. E. Lamb took the platform and in a highly eulogistic address nominated Hon. Isaac F, Gray. Colorado also gave way to Illinois, and Mr. Worthington took the platform to nominate A. E. Stevenson. Mr. Worthington said that he stood here to name as a candidate a man known by every woman, an child and . voter who ever licked a postage stamp In the land a big, big hearted, bralney man, whose courtesy was rarely equalled and never excelled by that of any man who could be named as a can didate for the vice presidency in this convention." When Kansas was reached Lr AScott," of ; lttdiana,ecoadet the nomination of Isaac P. Gray. When Kentucky was called Bon Jbov- SIinea took the platform. ' He said that he came from the homeof the "star-eyed" god-de''-- to -second -the-nominaton'-of M n Stevenson. Kentucky took .her Democ racy, like her whiskey straight. lie 'supported the Illinois candidate because he was a man who believed that to the "victor belonged the spoils." (Great cheering.) If he were placed in position, Mug wumps and Republicans would get no quarter at his hands. '" The roll call proceeded without inter ruption until Michigan was reached, when Hon. F. F. Ubl took the platform, and nominated Allan R. Morse. When New York was reached Governor Flower arose and announced that New York had no candidate te prcsbnt. Mr. Elias stood on the chair when North Carolina was called and seconded the nomination of Stevenson. He said that if Mr. Steveuson was wise enough "to be in the cabinet of the Hon. Grover Cleveland, he wis fit to run on the ticket with him." When Ohio was called there was cries of "Campbell," but the chairman of the delegation announced that the State bad is a a a no canoiaaie 10 preseui. L. T. Cunningham, of Tennessee, seconded the nomination of Gray. Ex-Governor Throckmorton, of Texas, seconded the nomination of Stevenson. Washington seconded the nomination of Gray. When Wisconsin was called there were cries of "Vilas." The chairman of tho delegation an nounced that Wisconsin would present a candidate through Gon. E. S. Bragg. Taking the platform, Gen. Bragg nomi nated Hon. John L. Mitchell. The rain, by this time, was pouring down so heavily that Its noise almost drowned Mr. Bragg's voice. The baud struck up the "baby" song from "Wang." Slips of paper had been scattered among the dele gates before the convention met bearing the words: -O rover, O rover, four more years for Grover." "In he goes. Out they go. Then we'll be In clover." As tho band struck up the air the Pennsylvania delegates began to sing, and presently the whole conven tion was singing "Grover, Grover." Tho New York delegation did not join in the singing. Michigan did, and vied with Pennsylvania in its vocal efforts. Then the band played "pixie," while the convention exercised its lungs in vigorous cheering. Some of the dele gates shouted "call the roll," but the wlerk was not ambitious to enter into competition with the roll of thunder that rang through the hall, and the con vention remained in a confused state of inactivity. The band struck up tho "Lah-ra-ra-booin-de ay" song for a di version. The sound of the rain and the thunder continued, and the water dripped in on the delegates steadily. Perry Belmont held an umbrella over Governor Flower, and many of tho dele. ates put on their hats The Kentucky elcgates stood on their chairs while the band played "Old Kentucky Home." Then' the band played "Marching Through-Georgia,"- and the delegates sang the refrain in a half-hearted way. Again the chairman rapped for order. When the confusion was dispelled in part New Mexico seconded the nomination of Gray and Oklohoma that of Stevenson. Then the roll-call was completed, and Alabama, which had been passed, was culled again. Mr. Vanderbilt, of Ala bama briefly seconded the nomination of Judge Morse on tne strength or uis sol dler record. J. II. King, of Alabama, also seconded the nomination of Judge Morse, then the chairman ordered the roll to be called upon the four candidates. Alabama started out by casting its solid vote for Morse. Arkansas left the Gray column aud California divided between Gray and Stevenson. Colorado said she wanted a Vice Presi dent Vho could take the party in out of the wet and voted for Stevenson. Connecticut voted solidly for Gray: Delaware for Morse. Florida cast 0 votes for Stevenson, and two for Gray. " - Georgia 10 votes for Morse and Ir for Gray, and 7 for Stevenson. Indiana, of course, supported Gray with her thirty votes. Iowa broke in upon the routine by announcing that her vju votes were cast for that Democrat of Democrats, Henry Watterson. , Kansas voted for uray. Kentucky cast 12 for Gray, 12 for Btev enson and a for Mitchell. Louisiana voted for Stevenson. - Main voted 4 for Gray, 7 for Steven' son, one absent. Maryland voted 13 for Gray, 4 for Stevenson. Massachusetts voted 4 for Gray, 0 for Morse, 20 for Stevenson. This made Gray and Stevenson a tie. " Michigan cast 28 votes for Morse.

Texas joined the Stevenson procession and their thirty votes nominated him. Minnesota cast her solid vote lor Ste venson. Mr. Cole, of Ohio, at this stage, Steven son having received more than a two thirds vote, moved that the nomination of Stevenson be made unanimous. Heusel seconded this and it was carried, amid cheers. On motion of Mr. Brice the National Committee were authorized to fix the place of holding the next National Con vention, on the same basis of representa tion of this. ' Norman E. Beck, of New York, offered resolution to add Chairman Wilson to the Notification Committee. Mr. Collins, of Massachusetts, put the question on account of the modesty of the chairman. It was carried. A resolution authorizing the national commi'teo to -elect a chairman of the comni'ttce and of its executive committee persons not members of the committee was offered by Mr. Honey, of Rhode Is land, and adopted. Mr. Hollins.of Massachusetts, from the platform, said: "I, propose to address myself to the common sense and good judgment and experience of nine hun dred men collected hero. Twelve years ago I presented a resolution authorizing the national committee to provide accom modations for the next convention. The time was not ripe for the adoption of that rcsoiuiion. Without dlsnaraec- roent to our national committee I feel free to say. in the presence of a small frac tion of the American public that a mis take has been made, and time has come when the national committee should be a deliberative body, not subject to outside influence. If we could be on exhibition in view of the 05,000,000 of people to ,000,000 of Democrats, well and good, but what is the use of having 15,000 peo ple, who can hardly see and cannot hear, controlling the proceedings of a Demo cratic convention, and preventing it from being deliberativer (Cries "of good.") It is not the discomfort and inconvenience, but it is the danger of wrecking the convention that moves mo. theroforo movo that the national com mittee be instructed to provide for the next convention accommodations for delegates, alternates, memlKirs, a press national committee and none others. All of the delegates were standing durinir the remarks of Mr. Collins. They listened to him attentively, and cries of 'good reached him from all parts of the hall. But at the end thero were hisses and leers from the galleries. Mr. UoUins called for the roll of btates and the chairman called on the delegates to resume their seats. Just as he ceased speaking the rope holding one- of the electric Tights just over the contre of the convention floor gave way and the big iron frame with its glowing arc came down with a crash right in the middle of the New York delegation. A roar went up from the great assemblage and women sprang to their feet and started- for the exits. The delegates fell from the 'spluttering arc light in all direction falling over chairs and pushing each other into the aisles, lhe awful possibility of the posi tion was grasped by the more collected and from the reporters and others came admonishing cries to "keep calm" and "sit down. A policeman rushed for ward and grabbed the rope of the electric Iamp'and a fireman aiding him. In the onslaught, tney knocked several of the New York and New Jersey dele gates right and left, landing one of them on his back in the aisles. But their ob- ect was accomplished. Thcrhauled up the lamp, broken but still burning, and as they did so the delegates encored and the vast crowd seeing no further damage was threatened gradually recovered calmness and settled back in their seats. When something like order had been restored" Mrr HengcrroT rennsyl vahta; said from the platform that as it was evident a call of States could not be had, he would move that the resolution of Mr. Collins be referred to the national com mittee with a favorable recommendation. His motion was carried, only a few dole gates voting on it in the confusion. - Then tne usual resolutions of thanks were passed. They Included the secre taries of the convention, the Chicago committee, and finally the presiding offi cer, who was very nearly forgotten in the confusion. Mr. Zachary, of Louisi ana, remembered the vote of thanks to Mr. wuson, ana Henry watterson took the chair temporarily and put the quas tlon. -"- --: - The official stenographer was author ized to prepare an official report of the proceedings. . Mr. ltusseii, ot Missouri, then got on his chair and moved: that the convention adjourn. ' . , ;.- - The chair put the motion, declared it carried, and with a partlnr- word of thanks to the convention for Ht consid eration, and at 0:18 he declared the con ventlon adjourned lne die. v; Just after the nomination of General Stevenson had been announced by the chair, Don M. Dickinson met Represen tative Springer in the aisle in the section set . apart for distinguished spectators and the two exchanged warm congratu lations; . , " Mr. Springor was especially denion strative, and In response to the state mont by the Illinois Representative that his 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 triumph ant issue were congratulated on all sides and their views were briefly, but graph ically expressed in the words of Mr. Dickinson. ; TBBV GOOD IOB NOBTtf CAROLINA.

A rousing Cleveland and Stevenson ratification meeting was held here to-day. Gen. L. LP. Young, the silver tongued orator of tho South, made a speech completely magnetizing the crowd v Chairman Dib ble of the Conservative Democracy, sent a letter in which he said it was peculiarly gratifying to him to say that they could join in ratifying the choice of the Democracy at Chicago, unmixed with the remorse of those who, claiming to be Democrats, have, hereto fore been guilty of denouueing our peer less leader. The conservative Democ racy of South Carolina stand by the platform and the nominees of the na tional Democratic party, of the United States, and if other factious of the Democracy in South Carolina happen to be embarrassed with eulau gliug alli ances with Republicans,- greenbackers and Third party men, Cleveland and Stevenson enn always find tho conserv ative Democracy, standing as the tenth legion of Rome, firm aud unf.tltering, batting for Democracy as we have re ceived it from the fathers. Ratification meetings were also held at a dozen other places in the State to-night and resolutions were adopted denounc ing the statement by Governar Tillman, Secretary Irby and President Stokes, of the Alliance, that Cleveland could not carry South Carolina. t Kx-Congremiinitn Dibble Kitillates the Action of the South Carolina Convention. 8K-clal to the Observer.

Russell ex pressed his delight and predicted that the Democrats with such a standard bearer were assured of a glorious victory at the polls. Mr. Cleveland said that he was deeply touched by this latest mark of esteem from his party, lie felt confident, he declared, that bis fellow-countrymen stood ready to place the mark of ap proval on true Democracy, and persist ency in the advocacy of these principles was all that was necessary to succeed. Ho did not think that differences in Democratic conventions were at all hurtful, but in view of the importance of Democratic success he could not con ceive of any reason for lack of harmony or united and active eilorts to win in the coming campaign.
