a final rally agninst the Cleveland host, which
claimed to-night that victory was clearly In sight.
Numerous and conflicting rumors were floating
about, and they all resolved themselves into tho
fact that It was only tho field against Cleveland,
with the opposition leaders devising plans to con
solidate the scattering votes for some one os
against the governor of New York.
THURMAN. , ,
Last night the Bayard boom took an unmtitak-
able projHirtlon. but considerable of his strength
deserted uim to-day, and then a move was made
that the parties, James Carlon. K. McClearaed,
L. Perry and George H. Block, lie admitted to this
convention, aud each shall be entitled to oue-half
a vote. Your committee unanimously recom
mend that the following names of delegates from
the several territories, embraced In the call of the
national democratic convention, and the district
of Columbia, be admitted to the floor of this con
vention, participating in its deliberations, and
that they be entitled to vote on all questions.
[Applause].
Mr. Randolph, of "New Jersey???I wish to offer
an amendment to the report, and will send the
resolution to the desk to lie read.
???Resolved, that the territorial delegates be not
allowed to vote on the floor of this convention.???
Mr. Randolph???I am one of the memliers of this
committee, and I submit that ns the delegates

in the direction of Thurman. It is well-known
that the Ohio delegation has been divided. A
strong effort was made to-night to'eonsolidate its
votes for Thurman on the promise that Massa
chusetts and a considerable portion of the south
and west would rally to his support. It is
claimed that a telegram was sent to Governor
,safeguards for national justice. Peace and
union forever. [Cheers], The borrow of the dread
ful hour of Internecine conflict must stimulate
suitable honor and reward to the noble men
wiiose lives were offered for their country,
talvntlou, but these people will not go backward
to destroy the fruits of their labor and sacrifices.
The hour of peace and concord, the embrace of
friends after a bitter war, the restored joy of h
py liberty and enduring union are their high
honor. The most noble chaplet that ever crowned
a soldier's memory who dares a war to
bleed again, who fans a dying
snqrk of enmity, strips the tenderest leaves from
tfist laurel leaf of glory [cheers], aud doubly wick
ed ho who perils the nation's peace and happi
ness to serve by such ends vain ambition. [Cheers.]
Tho day for such attempts has passes 1. A new gen
cnition is on the scene of action; an ed ti
nted and Intelligent generation. They understand
this end. The Ohio headquarters at the Palmer
house to-night presented a scene of furore and ex
citement growing out of this fact. The spacious
rooms were crowded to suffocation, speakers
rapidly following one another addressing ever-
moving crowds from a table placed in the center
of the room.
TUB FACTION FEKI.INO OROWINO.
The faction quarrel between the Thurman and
nuti-Thurmau parties Is. to all outward appear
ance. becoming more intense and bitter than
when the delegates first arrived. At least a doze n
from the various ileiegates it is learned that Ohio
stands auti-Thurman 2T>, Thurman ill. This esti
mate is strenuously denied by Thurmans sup
porters. who claim 2* votes, the anti-Thurman
Hoadly, whose name will be presented, fi Tliur-
man's irleuds Insist on presenting the latter???:
Tlie entire California delegation visited the Ohio
headquarters, and Mr. Tnrpey, of California,
apeaking for his state, said that If the Ohio people
would abaudou the candidacy of Hoadly, and
would accept In his place Thurman, the Pacific
coast would guarantee him a solid democratic
vote and victory. After Uoadly,tho anti-Thurman
votes in Ohio will probably go to Cleveland. Ohio
will hold a caucus iu the morning. It Isi proba
ble that Thurman???s name will be presented in the
convention, no matter what may be the outcome
<of the caucus.
THE OTHER STATES.
With the exception of Maryland, it could not be
ascertained that any serious defect ion had occurr
ed iu the column of the southern
states which has hitherto declared ndherauco to
Bayard. Maryland declined, by a majority of *},
to vote ns a unit for Cleveland on the second bal
lot. It was stated in a very positive way. how
ever. that the encouragement which the Thurman
movement got would impel his formal noml-
nation, and that tho speech would be made by
General Breckcnridge. of Kentucky.
The Illinois delegation met In secret session to
night, for the purpose of canvassing the question
of presidential preferences, and at 10:30 was still
In session. . . .
The Cleveland and anti-Cleveland delegates from
New York were admitted and allowed to present
their cose, although not without a protest from
several memliers of the Illinois delegation, who
staid they knew their own minds without outside
Interference, aud wanted to settle their own ques
tions in their own way.
The Credentials Committee,

Chicaoo, July s.???The committee on credentials
appointed by the national convention met to
night in the rooms of the Missouri delegation, to
act upon tho credentials of the various delegations,
A contest in the Massachusetts delegation was
made in one of the districts and the contestants
were notified to appear before the committee at
an adjourned meeting to be held in the morning.
A resolution Introduced In the convention by
Senator Voorhees. granting full membership to
delegates from the territories and the district of
Columbia, was taken up, and a committee from
the tcmltorlal delegates was invited to appear

Tin: COMMENTS UPON THE CONVENTION REPORTS???
# GENERAL TOOMBS INTERESTED.
The Atlanta public seemed during the forenoon
to huvo forgotten that yesterday was tho day set
Apart for the assembling of the national democratic
convention. Hardly an Inquiry was mado about
??????the news from Chicago" until tho first bulletin
posted at the telegraph office announced;
???The convention has Just been called to order."
Then the Interest liogan to spread like circles
upon a lake surface, until everywhere in town the
fact was known ami the telephone began its per
sistent racket aud showered in question* about
the doings on tho borders of Lnko Michigan. The
telegram* posted on the mammoth bulletiu board
at The Constitution office were eagerly looked
for, but their meager contents produced only
speculative comment and the day closed with -
suppressed expectancy of hot times and an ay
lanche ol lively news after 11 a. ra. to-day.
CROWING OVER TAMMANY.
The news that the convention had squelched the
first pretension of Tammany hall to control lu
action was hailed with satisfaction by every demo
crat who heard of It. There Is really no sentiment
of svmpathy with John Kelly and his mob of mar
plots in till* section of the south. On the contrary,
the general sentiment yesterday was in favor of
the convention breaking John Kelly's back and
putting a sharp and decisive end
to the annoyance and bull-dozing
of his Tammany hall following. When It was
uim lumutvi j ??? u.un,.. ?????? ???
happy omen that the democracy intended to de
clare us?lf Independent of all factjonlstsand spoils
men and go bravely Into the work of reform with
out a handicap.

man who may be nominated by the convention???
except Ben Butler.
GENERAL TOOMBS LOOKING ON.
Early in the afternoon a telegram was received
at The Constitution office from General Robert
Toombs, at Washington, Ga., asking tor a special
report of the doings of the convention. Thu gen
eral Is much interested In,the outcome of the
party's deliberations and will be kept fully postwl
from this point as rapidly as the news Is received.
In the present crisis he U said to favor the nora
iuutiou of Cleveland.
THE SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

Chicago. July 'A???The convention was opened
with prayer by Right Rev. Bishop Mcharen, of the
diocese of Chicago. He prayed that the proceed

might enjoy the results of law regulate*! liberty,
and not have to suffer the consequences of rash
disregard of the eternal laws of God. He prayed

against the motion and the amendment offered by
the gentleman from New Jersey. [Applause.) It
seems to me that every democrat in this broad
land, from the Atlantic to the I???aefflo. from the
lakes to the levees, has a living vital interest in
the proceedings of this convention, and it would
be unjust to the i*cople who are struggling to
build up the territories into pro porous states,
adopt till* amendment to silence the voices
their delegates, who have been invited
to attend, and who have come here with
the understanding that they should
participate fully in the deliberation* of this party.
[Great applause and cries of "quietor."]
The chair??? 1 The question is upon the adoption
of the amendment offered by Mr. Randolph, -
New Jersey.
The amendment was nut and lost.
The chair???The question recurs upon the adop
tion of the report of the committee ou creden
tial*.
The question was put and the report was adop-
cd amid loud cheers.
Mr. Henan, of Michigan, offered a resolution for
the reduction of taxation to a revenue basis. Re
ferred.
Mr. Hampton, of South Carolina, offered a reso,
lution reciting the importance of lott*

A resolution against polygamy was introduced
by Mr. Smith, of Utah, and referred.
Further resolutions were offered and referred to
the committee on platform against the acquisition
oi large tracts ol public land by corporations, for
reform in the civil service by making |>o*tmnstera
elective; ngainst a systematic reduction of the
tariff taxes; providing that in the cose of the death
of candidates for president or vice-president, the
chairman shall call together the convention again
to till the vacancy; for the repeal of all legislation
which, under republican rule, has tended to pau
perize labor; for a constitutional amendment
making the presidential term of office six years,
and to limit tho disposal of the public, lands to act
uni settlers, in quantities not more than 160
acres each. Finally a resolution was
adopted to refer all such propositions, without
being read. Under that rule several anti-Chinese
and tariff???reform resolutions were referred, being
only read by their titles.
The Regular Organization.

At this stage of Coionol Vilas???s speech Benjamin

Senator Grady sprang to his feet and
to attract tho attention of the chair. He was met
with a perfect storm of hisses from the gallery
and the audience generally. He still continued
to hold the floor, and endeavored to attract the
attention of the chair. The uproar became so
great that nothing could l??e done. The chair re

was the boldest and ablest advocate of democratic
doctrine aud democratic principles. The only ob-1
lection urged against him was that Ohio was an
October state. The Reply to that was that this was
not a state convention, but a national convention.
The nomination of Thurman was indorsed by
General Durbin Ward, of Ohio. He declared that
Ohio would lie the battle ground of the presiden
tial election. The democracy could win
I without it, but if the democracy
carried Ohio In October, the battle would be al
ready won. They wanted Ajax with tho helmet
and spear to thunder along the line aud deal
death-giving blows to the foe. Allen G. Thurman
was that Ajax in intellect, in courage, in adher
ence to the coiuftltutionitllaur, in defense of the
I rights of the masses, in defiance of the power of
monopolies, in defiance of the corruptions of the
nge. Thurman had no peer except Tllden. [Ap
plause.] The democracy hml carried the state
I of Ohio in the last two an-
nual elections, and with Thurman
as presidential candidate, it would carry it again
next October. He was no callow politician, but
was a colossal figure in the democratic party.
was observable that a part of the Ohio delega-
refused to participate In the applause that
greeted the name of Thurman.
JOHN O. CARLISLE NOMINATED.
Joseph A. MeKlnzte, of Kentucky, uext cane
to the platform, lu the name of the state, which
he said would give 50,000 majority to the demo
cratic uotninee, he nominated tho present
distinguished speaker of the American house
of representatives, John G. Carlisle.
In all the essential characteristic of manliness,
courage, ability and patriotism. Carlisle was the
peer of any great name that had been or would be
mentioned in connection with that office. No
name carried with it more nf talismuuic charm,
or more of the respect of the American people
than his. He was a man not born for small or
selfish thing*. He was a man to whom dishonor
was unknown. He was one made Up of greatness,
who had a victorious birth-right in hli
e alone. It might la* urged that he mine from
the wrong side of the Ohio river, but if the statute

than he to Cleveland, but he was too old a friend

He w** asked to give tho name of a candidate

He answered that he would name a man who
could never Im? called guilty of a single act favor

whose hair had grown white In the service of his

states and for placing in nomination candidates
for president and vice-president.
Mr. Clutter, of California, inuvcd^Ul reference to
the committee on platform. Tho nomination*
should not tie made until after the adoption of the
platform. The motion wus rejected.
A UclegaUUrom Missouri moved an adjourn

demanded a man who should be

M'DONALD NAMED BY HENDRICKS.
When the state of ludiaua was called, Mr. Hem
dricks, of that state, came to the platform amid
loud applause. He said that tho |*.>ople demanded
change In the management of federal affairs, and
that If tho convention would give them half an
opportunity they would execute that purpose In
tho election of president at tho coming fall,
[f.'lieen.] He believed that the ' nominee
of tills convention would becomo the chosen
president of the United States, the first inaug
unite??l democratic president In 21 years. [Cheer*.[
He spoke of tho official corruptions of the republi
can party, and referred to Secretary Chandler**
recent testimony before the senate committee, In
which he said that the defalcations In one of his
bureau* would not exceed 90:1,000, aud yet, forty
years ago, an administration had gone down be
cause of a defalcation of 900,000, and that the only
one. In regard to the civil service,

Referring to the foreign policy of the government, I
he said it would lie a beautiful spectacle if this ;
republic, so strong, so secure, should lead the
nations In tlie movement for permanent peace,
nnd for the relief of people every wherefrom stand
ing armies und wasteful war. lie (hen
come down to the main subject of his
speech aud suggested for the consideration
of the convention a citizen of the state of Indiana,
Joseph K. McDonald. (Cheers.) He sketched Mr.
I McDonald's career, uml declared that if he were
in
I??ockwood, of New York, mine up to
platform lo put In nomination Governor Clove
land. He said that the rc*|MMi*lblllty wnlch he
felt was mado greater when he remembered that
the richest page* of American history had l??ecti
made up from the record* of democratic Adminis
tration*, and rcmcmlicrcd that the outrage of
1H7C was still unavenged. No niiiu had greater re-
iect than ho for tho honored nntnoa presented to
...e convention, but tlie world was moving and
new men who had |Mirticlpated but little In poli
tics were coming to tho front. [Cheers.] He was
In tho city of Buffalo to present the name of the
same gentleman for the officoof mayor. Without
hesitation the name of Grover Cleveland had been
accepted a*candidate. [Applause 111 gallcricsaud
from portions of the delegations). Tho result of
Unit clectfon and of the holding of that office, was
that In less thitu nine months tho state of New
York fouud Itself iu u |H>sltloti P
want such a candidate, nnd when in the conven
tion of im!, his name was presented for the office
of governor of Uio stato of New York, the same
class nf iieonle knew thut that meant honest go
cramctit; that it mount pure government; that.
meant democratic government, and it was ratified.
(Applause.) Now, tlie demoemtto state of New
York mine and naked that there be given to tho
independent aud democratic voter# of the coun
try, the young men of the country, tho new blood
nr the country, the name of Grover Cleveland
'"beers.)
.'he nomination of Cleveland was ??ccOndod by
Carter Harrison, of Illinois. Hlx weeks ago, hesald.
the cry was ???Tllden and reform." Now it was
??????Cleveland and reform." [Cheers.] The demo
crat* of Illinois tadlovcd that tho ninntleof ftunntl
J. Tllden had fallen and resled gracefully upon
the shoulders of Governor Cleveland. It wn* mid
that the Irish would knife him. Were Uie Irish
over known to knife tho democratic? party except
for good reason?
Here a prominent Irish politician, of Chicago,
John Forsythe, shouted out from among Uie audi
ence an angry denial, nnd tho words "yes and no"
were several times exchanged between hlin and
Harrison. FI unity order wa* restored, and Mr.
Harrison proceeded with his speech. He closed
witlf thu Assurance ttmt the nomination of Cleve
land would help the democrats to win next No-
vember.
The nomination of Cleveland wa* also seconded
by Mr. Jones, of Minnesota.
TAMMANY FOR BAYARD,
Thomas F. Grady, of New York, then
came to the platform. Tho polut of order was
raised that unless Grady was going to second the
nomination he wa* not now In order, Imt the
chairman ovvrriilftd the polnt.-aiid said that u?? he
had recognized Mr. Grady, that gentlemen must
be heard.
GRADY'* ATTACK ON CLEVELAND.
Mr.Grady then proceeded to address the conven
tion. He said he should lie glad to second Cleve
land's nomination except tlint he knew that that
gentleman coutd not carry the state of New York.
The sure and unurlnK test of that fact was that the
last democratic convention of New York was
equally divided Mgaiut him. and the delcgatcs-at-
largo were divided between his friend* aud oppo
nents.
At this point, Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin, rose to
lake a point of order, but 111* voice was drowned
jy shouts and yells from the galleries. When there
wa* some degree of order, Mr. Bragg ntntcd.hl*
K dnt to be that the order of busiucM was thu nom
atfug and seconding of candidates.
The chairman said tlint a similar point of order
lmd been mado iu thoHt. Louis convention, and
sustained, but he had been disposed to be exceed
ingly lenlout in allowing the course of the re
marks, supposing that Grady would come to the
point, hut unless ho wax about to do so, the chair
would la? obliged to lustalii the point of order.
Mr. Maun Ing. of New York, chairman of the
New York delegation, asked unanimous consent
that Mr. Grady might Ik* allowed to proceed Irrc-
apcctive of the point of order. Unanimous con-
motion was made to'lay on the table Mr.
Knowden???s motion to make the nomination now.
The vote wo* taken by states, aud resulted In
the negative.

SECONDED BV GENEfiAI. BLACK.
General Black, of Illinois, seconded the nomi
nation of McDonald. They would present, he
said, a platform which would appeal to the sober
judgment of the people. They also needed a man
whose antecedents, known to all men, constituted
a satisfactory answer to all reasonable ohjec-
lion*. They needed a man whose views
all public questions could
... found without a search warrant, and deter
mined without an Inquisition. McDonald was
such a man. He had favored the monetization of
silver, and the saving of the Pacific coast from the
coolie servile labor. A wise Icwtslator, a true fi
nancier, a brave statesman. his reoord glittered
with the stars of truth, and all might sec- it* glory.
Kvcry star in It was a democratic star and all its
glories were those of the people. (Cheers.)
THREE CHEER* FOR THE OLD TICKET.
When Indiana was called Mr. Hendricks came
forward amidst a burst of enthusiasm lasting sev
eral minutes. Upon the partial suUrtdcnce of
the noise, a wild gallery delegate, with a voke
like a rolling mill, shouted: ??
???Three cheers for the old ticket. '
Aud they were given with extraordinary vigor.
