Tho Closing Day St LOUISA June Notwithstanding a number of visiting clubs and individual indi-vidual strangers left the city last night or early this morning there was little appreciable reduction in the attendance of spectators As the delegates slowly straggled in in twos and threes they discoursed on the respactive chances of Gray and Thurman the tariff plank and state of tho weather As to the

candidate being hoisted to the masthead by respective admirers ad-mirers of the contestants As each new color was raised it was greeted with shoats from the galleries but it was evident from the volume of sound that of the the favorite the old Roman was spectators The New York delegation was the last to enter and she pinned the Tharman colors to herstandard The assemblage rose on Its feet and

of Reform Watterson turning to the chairman said that he had the honor to report 4 the resolutions unanimously agreed upon by committee on platform Secretary Thomas d Pettit of th3 convention during the reading of the report was frequently compelled to stop while the convention applauded significant signifi-cant passages in the platform There was a moderate volume of applausa when the opening sentences which reaffirmed re-affirmed the utterances of the tariff plank of 1884 were read but when ho followed endorsing the Presidents message and declaring that it correctly interpreted that plank the convention fairly rose to its full and cheered wildly for a full minute THE PLATFOBJI Following is the platform I The Democratic party of the United States in national convention assembled assem-bled renews the pledge of its fidelity to Democratic faith and reaffirms the platform adopted by its representatives in the convention of 1881 and endorses the views expressed by President Cleveland Cleve-land in his last earnest message to Con of gress as the correct interpretation that platform on the question of tariff reduction and also endorses the efforts of our Democratic representatives in I Congress to secure a reduction of ex jGeBsive hxaim sIf Chief among its principles of party J faith are the maintenance of an indissoluble indis-soluble union of free and indestructible States now about to enter upon its second sec-ond century of unexampled progress and its known devotion to a plan of government regulated by a written constitution con-stitution strictly specifying every granted power and expressly reserving to the States or people entire the un granted residue of power the encouragement encour-agement of jealous popular vigilance directed to all who have been chosen I for brief terms to enact and execute the laws and are charged with the duty of preserving the peace insuring 1 equality and establishing justice The Democratic party welcome an exacting I iiIJ ex-acting scrutiny of the administration I of the Executive power which four years ago was committed to its trust in the election of Grover Clevelad President Pres-ident of the United States bdt it chal cages most searching inquiry concerning concern-ing its fidelity and < devotion to the II pledges which then invited the suffrages of the people during the most critical part

the Republican Republi-can majority in the Senate In every branch aud department of government under Democratic control the rights and welfare of all the people have been guarded and defended every public interest has been protected and the equality of all our citizens befoie the law without regard to race or color been steadfastly maintained Upon its record thus exhibited and upon the pledge of continuance of the benefits the Democracy invokes a renewal re-newal of the popular trust by the reelection re-election of the chief magistrate who had been faithful able and prudent To invoke in addition to that trust by the transfer alFo to the Democracy of the entire legislative power The Republican Repub-lican party controlling the Senate and existing In both houses of Congress against the reformation of the unjust nod unequal tax laws which have outlasted out-lasted th > necessities of the war and are now undermining the abundance of along a-long peace deny to the people equality before the law and the fairness and justice jus-tice which are their right i The cry of American labor for a better I bet-ter share In the rewards of industry is stifled with false pretense Enterprise is fettered and bound down to some markets capital discouraged with doubt and unequal unjust laws can be neither properly amended nor repealed Tho Democratic party will continue with all the power confided to it the struggle to reform these laws in accordance ac-cordance with the pledges of its last platrorm endorsed at the ballot box by the suffrages of the people Of all the industrious freemen of our land the immense majority including every tilhrof the soil gain no advantage from the excessive tax laws but the price of nearly everything they buy is increased by the favoritism of an unequal un-equal system of tax legislation All unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation It is repugnant to the creed of the Democracy that by such taxation tbe cost of necessaries of life should be unjustly Increased to all our people Judged by the Democratic principle the interests of the people are betrayed when by unnecessary taxation trusts and combination are permitted to exist which while unduly enriching a few that combine to rob the body of our citizens cit-izens by depriving them of theJjanefits of natural competition Every Democratic Demo-cratic rule of government and action is violated when through unnecessary taxation a vast sum of money far beyond be-yond the needs of economical administration adminis-tration is drawn from the people and the channels of trade and accumulated as a demoralizing surplus in the National Treasury The money now lying idle in the federal treasury resulting from superfluous taxation amounts to more than one hundred and twentyfive millions mil-lions and the surplus collected reaching reach-ing the sum of more than sixty millions mil-lions annually Debauched by this immense im-mense temptation the remedy of the Republican party is to meet and exhaust ex-haust by extravagant appropriations and expense whether constitutional or not the accumulation of extravagant taxation The Democratic policy is to enforce frugality in the public expense and abolish unnecessary legislation Our established domestic industries and enterprises should not and need not be endangered by the reduction and correction cor-rection of the burdens of taxation On the contrary a fair and careful revision of our tax laws with due allowance for the difference between the wages of Amrican and foreign labor must promote and encourage every branch of such industries and enterprises by giving them assurances of an extended market and steady and continuous operations In the interests in-terests of American labor which should in no event be neglected a revision of our tax laws contemplated contem-plated by the Itemocratic party should promote the advantage of such labor by cheapening the cost of the necessaries neces-saries of life in the home of every workingman at the same time securing to him steady and remunerative employment em-ployment Upon this question of tariff reform so closely concerning every phase of our national life and II upon every question involved in the problem of Rood government the Democratic party submits its principles princi-ples and professions to the intelligent suffrages of the American people THE STAR EYED

Henceferward the Democratic party which has been the voice of the people will become tbe hands applause but it will be the hands of construction not the hands of destruction and it will remove the occupants from I tbe house before it has taken off the roof > > Applause In conclusion con-clusion he said Two good Democrats never know 6ne another woolly nor love ono another entirely until they have had some fun with each other and this wjllfurnish thereason if any reason is Deeded why I should present Senator Gorman of Maryland GORMAN TALKS Gorman received a flattering reception recep-tion He said that he wouldj be > outof place in a Democratic convention if he were not supporting the principles of Democracy enunciated by Jefferson and upheld and practiced by Groyer Cleveland Cleve-land Democrats had made pledges cf reform and tax reduction lour years ago and have kept these pledges We have now to face the fat tbat a reduction of taxation is important and we must wipe out 100000 000 of surplus They charge us with free trade but we stand herehonest men fighting for the reduction re-duction of this immense surplus We have presented a platform strict accordance ac-cordance with all Democratic doctrines doc-trines with such declaration will go forth to battle with the consciousness that we are better organized and more certain of victory than ever before Watterson moved that the report of the committee be adopted which was agreed to by unanimous vote THE MILLS BILL Scott of Pennsylvania under instructions instruc-tions from the committee on resolutions resolu-tions offered the following Resolved That this convention heartily endorses and recommends the early pass pas-s ge of the bill for the reduction of revenue now pending in the House of Representatives Representa-tives The resolution was adopted amid applause ap-plause Lehman of Iowa offered and the convention adopted a resolution declar jug for the admission of Washington Dakota Montana and New Mexico into the Union On motion of Abbett of New Jersey a resolution expressing sympathy with the efforts of Gladstone and Parnell to secure home rule for Ireland was passed Baker of Ohio asked consent con-sent as delegate from the Starts which I loved and honored Thomas A Hendricks to present and have adopted a series of resolutions of respect to the lite Vice President and of regret at his death The resolutions were adopted by a rising vote and Hendricks name was cheered The chair announced that there had been a slight mistake in the report of the committee on platform in the statement that tha committee had been unanimous in its adoption of the resolutions reso-lutions presented by the committee Soper of New York dissented With this exception the committee was unanimous unan-imous THE VICEPSHSIDEKOr When nominatirns were declared in order Governor Stephen M White of California proposed a roll call Alabama and Arkansas were passed in silence and California according to request presented the name of Judge Thurman through Col Tarpey At the mention of the name Senator English Eng-lish sprang to his feet with a bandana attached flagfashion to cane and led off the applause for Thurman which was not prolonged owing to the sensation sensa-tion of the nomination having beendia counted during the past three days Col Tarpeys speech was short and did not weary the audience with a string of biehsounding phrases Mr Tarpey slid Mr CAait mart and Gentlemen This is indeed a most pleasant duty which through the kindness of my friends I 1 have been chosen to perform and 1 am truly grateful to my associates who have so honored me I fear that it was kindness alone and not ability that prompted my selection from among the many eloquent gentlemen who are members of the California delegation but sirs what I lack in oratorial ability I m some small measure compensate for in my enthusiasm in the undertaking and feeling as I do that the most eloquent must fall short of doing full justice to the gentleman who I am here to nominate I have accepted ac-cepted the trust with the mental resolution reso-lution that if nothing else I am at least in earnest in what I say and filled with admiration for him of whom I speak That am proud of the privilege of ad dressmg you I acknowledge but that I am prouder still of the man whom I shall name I will not deny for I feels feel-s rs that this REPUBLIC HOLDS JfO SUPERIOR to the Honorable Allen G Thurman of Ohio The greeting accorded his name is a well deserved tribute Its span taneity hag been nobly earned Be assured as-sured that such a greeting will be accorded ac-corded hid name at every mention throughout this Republic from sea to sea and from the British line to the Gulf Allen G Thurman What an epitome of American civil history is embodied in that name His character char-acter and ability are known to every man woman and child in tho land His public services will ba a more enduring monument than temples of stone or brass for history will inscribe his name among the list of Americas illustrious sons Taking his seat in the United States Senate in 1869 the imprint of his genius Is found deeply imbedded in the legislation of the country From his first appearance in the Senate until his retirement from that body his voice was always raised in BFHAEF OF THE PEOPLE and in defense of their rights For forty years he has been a prominent I figure in public life and yet today no man can point to one single actor expression ex-pression of his which does not do him credit Large of heart large of brain and larger still in experience he is the man of all men whose record justifies j his nomination at your hands in the sense that he cannot be defeated before be-fore the people A man of benevolent heart manifesting itself not only in private life but it has been the leading feature of his officialcareer when the Pacific Coast was endeavoring to retard Chinese im mgration when it had decided that national legislation was necessary to so omplish the desired result when the merits of the subject were not understood un-derstood east of the Rocky Mountains Allen G Thnrman then a senator of the United States was the first to raise his voice in defense of those whose menus of living were in danger and WHOSE HOMES WEBB THREATENED with destruction When the great railroad rail-road corporations evinced tan intention to evade paymen ttt their obligations i 6 1 to the government this great man prepared pre-pared that remarkable enactment known as the Thurman Bill by which the offending corporations were obliged to provide a sinking fund for redemption of their promises During Dur-ing the trying days of reconstruction Mr Thurman was the central figure in the United States Senate in upholding the dignity and the integrity of the constitution consti-tution The waves of party passion pas-sion lashed into fury by illadvised jealous partisans brofce harmless upon his leonine front and settled back into calmness By the force of his logic and powers of his oratory a ripe scholar his disquisitions upon constitutional laws are masterpieces of reasoning and eloquence challenging the admiration of even his political opponents Four years since the California delegation put fprth Mr Taurman as their candidate candi-date for the Presidency and were enthusiastic in urging his nomination nomi-nation but four years have but augmented their reverence and affection for him The patriot of Columbus cannot be alto lowed al-to wither in retirement His fame is not his alone It is the grand heritage of the American people His name may be most fittingly coupled withthat of your honoied President Grover Cleveland Cleveland and Thur man Iwill be a ticket absolutely reist less It will sweep the country with a mighty rush a tidal wave of approval Against it all opposition will be fruitless fruit-less The approval of Clevelands administration ad-ministration during the past four years and the endorsement of his actions ac-tions the simplicity yet remarkable ability with which he has administered admin-istered his great trust under the moat trying circumstances coupled with th ° ullprrvading affection felt for the philosopher of Columbus will make Cleveland and Thurman a war cry to affright the political enemy The enthusiasm en-thusiasm which will aroused upon its announcement will be infections and gatheifng force and volume day by day it will before the ides of November Novem-ber have become epidemic That the name of Allen G Thurman should be cheered to the echo in this hall ia not strange for itbrings the warm blood of gratitude surging tothe heart at every fireside and the testimonials which the people will surelv pay to his worth at the coming November election will be convincing proof of his popularity Indiana honors Governor Gray by supporting him for this nomination Illinois is doing the same for General Back Michigan for Mr Dickinson and Wisconsin for Mr Vilas and Kentucky tor Mr D good men and true each and everyone every-one ot them and were it not for the selfsacrificing patriotism of Mr Thur man in response to the almost unanimous unani-mous wish of the party to permit his plains to come before you it were difficult diffi-cult indeed to choose between such meritorious and able gentlemen Their names are fit to grace this or any other ticket They are each the favorite sons of their respective States but when Allan G Thurman thc favorite sonof each nnd every Stateln this Union in I answer to1Tthe universal demand for his acceptance consents to leave the place nd tranquility of his friends to again serVO his grateful countrymen So prominent so colossal in his political politi-cal and mental figure in the publiceye that all others must of necessity take in its Immensity Let no mistakes be made at this time Mistakes are crimes If you do your duty if you but give the people what they expect what they demand the contest of parties instead in-stead of just commencing will be practically ended Jfor the great electoral and popular mojorities which Cleveland Cleve-land and Thurman will surely receive at the polls and will be a revelation given tb ourselves As representative of the Democracy of the nation we have a duty to perform we must nominate nom-inate the man tbe people have already nominated We have but to endorse the popular verdict no less will be accepted ac-cepted at your hands Let no consideration consider-ation of personal friendship or glamor of locality influence your action Personal Per-sonal friendship cannot be repaid by a nomination where a great party interest and future is at stake No trifling with great concerns of State should be tolerated toler-ated No expression of local pride can be admitted to influence action when the sovereign people speak they must be obeyed Broad ground must be taken The man of the nation not the man of the State must be nominated Nominate Allen GThurman Nominate him by acclamation accla-mation Let it not be said that one single Democrat in all this great Union fails in this testimonial to the gretest American of his day the noblest breathing man upon American soil fit consort in the temple of fame of those patriots of the past the fathers of our institution whoso sacred dust lie calmly slumbering beneath the sods of Mount Vernon Montecello and the Hermitage awaiting the dedication of our national pantheon I When in the course of Tarpey7s speech he said it was admitted that there was but one man to nominate who would sweep the country like a tidul wave here was a mighty response of Gray and for some moments the orator was unable to proceed Hon IhomasJSI Patterson took the platform frtoin Colorado and foicibly urged the candidacy of General Black who at the last minute bad beeu pre vailed upoh to receive a complimentary vote During the address when the speaker dwelt on General Blacks military mili-tary record there was more emotion I manifested than at any other time during the convention save of course the nomination of Grover Cleveland This fact surprised the Black con ting tin-g nt which had not depended upon earning other than a complimentary voe Pigctot of Connecticut seconded Thurmans nomination m behalf of his Stale and then Indiana was called SENATOR VOOBHEKS responded and

Ohio that was iredoterminiBotlWhowould ask how l C J1 r I waged the battle except to inquire how large the Republican majority was The inquiry would be how went tile battle in Indiana New Ycrk Hew Jersey Jer-sey and Connecticut Indiana asked a nominee on the ticket and tendered to the Democratic party fifteen electoral votes Grover Cleveland would be reelected re-elected this fall on the vote of Indiana or he would not be reelected at all The safety of the how was for New York and Indiana to clasp hands The line of battle will be the same this year ain a-in 1884 and the States where victory was to be obtained were the same A voice from the gallery How about Oregon 7 Oregon replied Voor hees take warning by Oregon and rely on Indiana and you will not be deceived We present to you the name for this ticket of a man physically and mentally strong and endowed with mental and physical life The key to the situation is Indiana I challenge every candid man to say what name can bring as many vofesto the D ma cratic ticket as Isaac P Gray Three cheers Albert H Cox of Georgia seconded nomination of Governor Gray Hp said with hue Napoleonic strategy the Democratic party should mass its strength at the key of battle and Indiana is the point where the fiercest fight will rage If the party should present the Columbiad of Ohio would be the wisest thing to do If we train this great gun over in Ohio will it do thsexecution we so much need it to do in Indiana nomination of Allen G Thurman for the VicePresidency would lend a great deal of sentiment but it is doubtful if it would add any great strength to the ticket atthose points whereit will be most needed The nomination nom-ination of Governor Gray would do for the party that whtch would make sue cess no longer a matter of doubt and the convention with his name upon its standard would name not only the Democratic ticket but it would came the next President and VicePresident of the United States We must do justice jus-tice to the great Democratic State of thereat the-reat west and she demands and should be accorded this honor E E Settle of KentucKY also seconded sec-onded the nomination of Governor Gray He said

to the Democracy and whose death took away one of its noblest leaders and most sterling patriots of the nation The memory of Hendricks will always bo green in the hearts of his countrymen country-men The State which ha done so much for the party now should be recognized and presents party with such a man as is needed who has many years of usefulness before him and not one who is trembling on the brink of the other world Nevada put Dorsey the poetic orator on the platform and his silvery language lan-guage rippled forth in such sweet sounds that delegates and the audience I roared with laughter and sounded their applause until their hands burned with friction His State was for Cleveland and Thurman and his delegation endorsed en-dorsed California Oregon and he might add Utah This announcement called the audience to its feet and Mr Dorsey was cheered with great animation His reference to the boasted climate of the Pacific Coast where the fields are green and there are orange blossoms the whole year round earned him another round of applause Then a delegate from the Northwest who was seated in the back part of the hall essayed to cut short the glowing description of the coast by calling time The audience was divided and with cries of Go on 1Sit down Ocellus more the poet of theTacificdelegatioi stood on the platform vainlystaling to make himself heard The chairifidn eyentually quieted the noisy delegation I and Mr Dorsey requested the privilege of telling one more story but his voice was drowned by cheers The good humor of the speaker obtained a hearing hear-ing and ho closed with a remarkable peroration He alleged in his flowery metaphor that a thousand quartz mills would pound their ponderous pleasure next November when the wires would flash the news from every village and hamlet of the coast that Cleveland and Thurman had been proven a popular choice Mr Dorsey would have held forth much longer but he paused with his right arm up lifted as the convention manifested impatience and as he could not gain a hearing he reluctantly retired Ay den of Missouri made an eloquent speech seconding the nomination of Thurman which created a good deal of enthusiasm He said he represented repre-sented a divided delegation but the country demanded the nomination nomina-tion of the grand old leader who had fought the battle of the party when she most needed warriors of courage and conviction He has ever L L 1 t L I struck winning blows for the partyand he is ready now to sacrifice the rest and ease well earned by a noble life to respond to his party call and we need this talismanic power of his name Governor Green of New Jersey said the shores of the Atlantic reached the call of the Pacific Coast and New Jersey which brought nine electoral votes in one hand without makicg any with the other seconded the nomination of Allen Thurman Applause Raines of New York was greeted with cheers when he took the stand to make known the position of his State delegation New York he said had withdrawn herself until this moment from the deliberations of this body in the selestion of a candidate for the VicePresidency but the time had arrived ar-rived for her voice to be heard in unison with the claim of her fellow delegations del-egations from Maine to the capes of the western sea in behalf of him who was the Plato of the public The battle line of the coming extended ex-tended across the continent for the force pf the Democracy would reach across the continent and our reserve corps would waive the flag of Allan G i Thurman Great applause as o > Powell of Ohio briefly but earnestly seconded Thurmans nomination Ie was claimrd he said that the universal cry for Thurman was but the sentiment senti-ment of the heart that might be so but it was the grandest sentiment that ever occupied the Democratic party Dorsey of South Carolina seconded the nomination Thurman He said it had been said that President Cleveland Cleve-land was both the candidate and tho pTatformer but ho proposed to present to the convention a name for the Vice Presidency which is history and prophecy pro-phecy Thompson of Tennessee also seconded sec-onded the nomination of Thurman saying the south of all other sections of this country should hasten to do honor to this grand old man whose arms had ever been raised to defend the stricken people His red bandana had been the banner of hope to the despairing let it now be the banner of victory for the united Democracy of the country ExGovernor Throckmorton of Texas also seconded the nomination of Thor man in a brief speech in which he said he represented a divided delegation upon the question of the VicePresiden tial candidate but he was none tbe less enthusiastic in his support of Ohios grand old man Texas would give the ticket 20000 majority with Allen G Thurman as one of the nominees Virginia being called Senator Daniels ascended the platform and was given a cordial Deception Old and young Democrats in the old Dominion he saidSvouldjoin in the great claim of the American people when they should speak again in November next for Allen G Thurman Applause Hedesciibed the sr7ic2s of Thurman to the Democratic party and the country and especially commended to California Thurmans attitude on the Chinese question Whpn Thurman is presiding officer of the Senate California Cali-fornia should send him a golden gavel and Colorado should send him a silver one for he had always maintained the two metals on a constitutional par It was said that Thurman was old but no hair glistened on his brow that was not grown white in the Democratic service ser-vice The years that circled around his head had each one of them left in its track a new ring of glory Old indeed but not too old to receive the tardy honor of the people to whom he has been faithful and to requite them with renewed service In the name of the people of Virginia on whose soil Thurman was born in the name of Ohio his adopted home in the name of the Democracy of the great nation incorruptible in-corruptible unterrified and unconquerable unconquer-able he gave to the banner and breeze the semblance of his name As Daniels concluded hewaved a large bandana and was enthusiastically cheered When Montana was called there was a cry for McGinnis the delegate who had created a ripple of merriment when he announced his name in presenting pre-senting a resolution McGinnis responded in a pleasant speech seconding the nomination of Thurman saying there should be a ratification meeting to ratify not only the choice of the Democracy Grover Cleveland for the Presidency but to ratify the grand principles of the Democracy Demo-cracy in the nomination of its leader for thirty years Allen G Thnrman The prospect of Democratic success in November amounted almost to a certainty cer-tainty Elaine has already fled before the advancing columns of the Democracy Democ-racy and confesses to his hopelessness of his party and its candidates The convention then proceeded to ballot The names of States were called When a vote wasaunounced from Ohio for Gray there was a storm of hisses and cries nf Put him out Before the vote of Wisconsin was announced it was evident that Thurmans nomination nomina-tion was assured and the convention conven-tion was thrown into a fever of excitement and enthusiasm When the Indiana detention took down tho grey hat which had been held aloft au aay on its banner pole and flung a red bandana to the breeze I This was the signal for a repetition of the scene of yesterday when Cleveland was nominated The Indiana banner with its fluttering red bandana was caught up by two excited deegaes and borne to tho stage where it was waved frantically during the continuation uf the demonstration Some one tied a red bandana about the neck of the bust of Cleveland in the rear of the stage and the cheers of the convention which was now wild with enthusiasm were redoubled Tim OLeary a Pennsylvania delegate dele-gate brought a live fighting cook in to the hat and tossed it in the air The bird fluttered tothe floor but not before it canghtthe eye of the conven tion and the hall became a pandemonium pandemo-nium Delegation banners all decorated deco-rated with red bandanas were born from State to State about the hall in a frantic manner and thousands of red bandanas waved all over The demonstration demon-stration lasted for about ten minutes After something like order had been restored the calling of States was proceeded pro-ceeded with but before it was completed com-pleted Patterson of Colorado moved that Thurmans nomination be nnani aonsr and the motion was seconded by Shanklin of Indiana in an earnest speech He would not add he said one drop to the flow of

Delegates from Indiana had come into the convention vention in good faith and they bowed to the decision of the Democratic party He promised that as the delegates had been for Gray yesterday and this morning morn-ing theywere from this time forward for-ward apostloa of Thurman The motion was agreed to and the nomination was made unanimous amid loud cheers The chairman then declared Allen G Thurman

DICLIN > TION The following letter was received yesterday yes-terday WASHINGTON June 5 Hon T M Pa erson I have been advised by you and Jther dear friends of the situation ut th National Democratic Convention at whose hands in my behulf you were about to do me the honor of a nomination nomina-tion to an exalted office I hoped for the honor as one of thenoble confidence of political associates worthy of exalted vosire and honest patriotic ambi ion but have too long wrought for the successes suc-cesses ot conventional principles not tq subordinate all personal claims to the welfare of the party of the constiution That party has clearly decided in advance ad-vance of the expression ot your assembly assem-bly in favor of Allan G Thurman for VicePresident I bow to its high be nest while my heart is full of gratitude to you and my fritnds whose favor had promised me support I ask you to withdraw my name from the ousidera lion of tbe convention to the end that there ba exhibited the greatest harmony har-mony of resolve Your fellowcitizen Signed JOHN 0 BLACK Hon Thomas M Patterson of Colorado Col-orado was to have made the speech nominating General John G Black On Tuesday he received a dispatch from General Black which was giVFn out for publication this morning said he but it was withheld for obvious reasons General Black left his nomination entirely en-tirely in the hands of friends in St Louis and they exercised their own discretion about using the information oontained in the telegram We were inconstant in-constant communication and he has approved every action General biucka friend made a pretty careful canvass before Mr Thurmans name was sprung and were convinced that General black would be nominated They based tbe < r confidence on his record as a soldier statesman and executive ex-ecutive officer of the pension department depart-ment In all disoussions thatmay arise over the residents attitude towards the soldier growing out of his veto of the dependent pension bill and private pension bills The party would be compelled to turn to General Blacks administration of the pension office to refute the slander upon the President The sentiment has become overwhelmingly overwhelm-ingly in favor of Senator Thurman largely through gratitude for his lone life faithful and inestimable valticto the party and eountry Friends of General Black considerit is in nowise humiliating that he felt compelled to withdraw jn favor of so great a man as Thurman The resolve of General Blacks friends was suddenly revised after a few minutes conference in the convention hall One of these storm of enthusiasm wbich convulsed the National Convention was promoted a Gray sympathizer in one of the gab leries waving a monster gray flag California Cal-ifornia was on its feet in a second and the air was filled with waving bandanas Hats encircEd with handkerchiefs were tossed into the air fans wrapped with Thurman colors were waved violently Id every del egata shouting Thnrman and Gray the commotion lasted only for a few minutes and Iowa gracefully > lowered its Gray banner The western dele del-e ntes received this as a surrender and subsided The Grays weakened after this occurrence and a hasty canvass of the delegates restored the confidence of Colorado which was acting as the mouthpiece for the Illinois general They resolved to take the risk of nominating nom-inating and the atatement relinquishing relinquish-ing the candidate was recalled AT THUBMAKS HOME COLUMBUS Ohio Juno The news of Thurmans nomination was quietly
