Tbe gray light In the eastern sky gave warning that It they wanted any rest bofero enterlng upon the heat and tell or tlie day they would have te get It, and that right quickly. "What the delegates lacked In punctuality, howevor, was mero than made up by thu guests and visitors and ler an hour atter tbe doers had been epened there was a steady flaw until the galleries, balconies and boxes as well as the pp.icu In the rear or the hall were packed te BuUoettlon.

THE CONVENTION REPONVENIM. At 10:21 Temporary Chairman Whlte dealt the desk heveral blows with the silver gavel, and called the convention te order. There was se much confusion that it was several minuter berore he succeeded In getting what be wanted. Then the ltev, J, T. Qreen was Introduced, and while tbe delegates and visitors arose be prayed. Be asked et Ged that thu delegates might remember that they were net only making history ler this country, but also te determine what may be geed for It or bad for it and that their party and that their works rebound for the geed of the country nnd tbe geed or 111 name. The delegate uttered a fervent amen. The reverend gentleman retired and a resolution was read by the secretary thanking tbe Cel. orade delegation for IH present of a silver gavel was adep ed by accla mation. The chairman announced amid applause that credentials had heen hauded In trem a delegation Irem Alaska, this being the first tlme that a delegation of that territory bad sought admittance te a Democratle national convention. He an nounced that the papers would go te the proper committee, and was about te call for tbe report of thecommlttea en permanent organization, when Congressman Timethy J. Campbell presented a memorial, declar ing that tbe Momeo doctrine should be atrlctly enforced ; that American states sheUld be protected from European en croachment, even by force If neces sary, and that tbe olesoat commer cial and political relations should be maintained with the Mexican, Central American and Seuth American fetalis. Referred te tbe committee en resolutions, Then Stephen Mallery of Flerida took the fleer and submitted a resolution, the first line et which was greeted with prolonged applause which waa renewed at the clete.

Patrick CiIIId. Hpeaka Upen the Neblo Principle, el the Party, Te stand by your favor In this place, se often tilled by the foremost men in our great party, is a distinction or the highest charac ter, and an honor ler which I am profoundly grateful. In performing the delicate and difficult sorvlce te whlcn you have assigned me, I can scarcely bope te Justify tbe wisdom of your choice. I shall at all times need a continuance of yeurlndulgence and ceurtesy as well as your full oe-operatlon te promote order, decorum and geed will, until these proceedings are brought te a happy close. We represent, in this convention, mero than talrty millions of thu American people. We bear their commission te set ler them, and tbelr Injunotien te act with all tbe wisdom that Ged has given us te protect and safeguard the Institutions of Ibe Kopublle as tbe fathers founded them. In a tlme when the world was klng rldden and pauperized by the privileged few, when men scarcely dared te broatbe tbe word liberty even it they understood Its meaning tbe poeplo.scatterod along our eastern coast with a sublime horelsm never equalled, broke from all traditions, rejeoted au known systems, and established, te tbe amazement of the world, tbe political won wen der of the ages tbe American Kopublle, tbe child et revolution, nnrsed by philoso phy. The band that framed the Immortal Dec laration of Independence Is the hand that guided the emancipated country te progress and glory. It is the hand that guldes us still in our onward march as a tree and progressive people. The principles upon which our government can securely rest, upon which the peace, prosperity and liber ties of the people depend, are the principles or the rounder of our party, the apostle et nomecracy, Themas Jeffersen. Our young men under thirty have beard mere lu tbelr time of tbe clash of arms and tbe echo of war than of tbe principles et government It has been a trled or passion, force, Im pulse and ometionsl politics. Se that we need net wonder that new and then we bear the question asked and scarcely an an an swored, " what dillerence is there between the two parties?" Every Democrat knows the difference. The Democratic creed was net penned by Jeffersen ter a soctlen or a class et the pee peo poe pie, but for all ; net for a day or a genera tion, but ler all time. These principles con served and expanded tbe ropublle in all its better days. A strict adhorence te them will preacrve It te the end. DL'MOCltATIO IIKLIKFN. Se the Democracy et te-day, as lu the past, bellcive with Jeffersen lu : 1. Equal and exact Justice te all men, of whatever Btate or persuasion, religious or political. 2 Peace, cemmerce and honest friend ship with all nations ; entangling alliances with none. X Support of the state governments In all their rights as the most competent admin- lstratotser our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against antl-repuhllean tendencies. 4 The preservation of the general gov ernment In Its whole constitutional vigor, as tbe sheet anchor of our peace and safety abroad. f. a JealeuBcare of the right of election by tbe people, a mild and sale corrective et abuses, which are lepped off by the sword of revolution where peaceable means are unprevided. C. Absolute acquiescence in the decisions OttbO majority, Ibe vital urlnr-lnlH nf r. publics, from which there Is no apiwal, but te force the vital prlnelple and immediate parent of despotism. 7. A well disciplined mllltla, our best re liance In pease and ler the first momenis of war. 8 The Bupremacy of the elvll ever the military authority. Ii. Economy In tbe publle expenses, tbat labor may be lightly burdened. 10. The honest payment et our debts and tbe preservation of our publle faltb. 11. Eoeouragemoat or agriculture and of commerce as Its handmaid, 12. The diffusion et Information and ar raignment et all abuses at the bar of public reason. 13. Freedom of religion. 1 1. Freedom et the press. 15. Freedom of the person under tbe pro tection of the habeas cerpui, 10. Trlaljby Juries Impartially selected. And add te these tbe golden coenomlo rnle that no mera taxes should be levied upon the people in any way than are neces sary te meet tne bobcat expenses of govern ment, and you have body of principles te sin against which has been political death te every party hitherto, te sin against which In the future will be political sui cide. A rABTr FOB TUG FKOFLK-. True te these principles, the Democratle party fought successfully our foreign wars, protected enr citizens tn every clime, com pelled the respect of ell nations ter enr Hag, added imperial domain te our territory and insured peace, prosperity and happlmuu te all our people. Ful.e te these principles the great Federal, Whig and Knew-Nothing parties went down, never te rlse again. And we here te-day, representatives of tbe party that has survlred all ethers, the united, triumphant, Invlnelble Domecrsoy are prepared te strike down lorevor the last surviving fee in November. Our standard must lie tbe rallying point new, and In the future for all geed citizens who love and cherish republican Institutions, who love liberty regulated by tbe constitu tion and law, who believe in a government notferau'ass or for a few, but a govern ment of all the peeDle, by all the people, end for all tbe people. This has been the asylum for all geed men from all ever the earth who flee from want and oppression and mean te become Americans. Hut we Invite and welcome only friends te this ground and liegemen te the Ropublle. Our institutions cannot ohange te meet hos tile wishes, nor be se much as sensibly modified ssve by the peaceful and deliber ate action of tbe mass of our people In ac cordance with the constitution et the laws of the land. Whatever preblems tbe pres ont has, or the fulure may present, se far as political action can afJect them, will be dealt with by the American people within the law. And In tbe future, as in the past, the people will find security for their liberty and property, enoeuragement and protection for tbelr industries, peace and prosperity In following the party et the American masses, whieh will ever shield tbem against the aggressions of pewer and monopoly en Ihsene Bide, and en the ether, the surgings of obaes. While almost all the rest et tbe elvlllzsd world la darkened by armies, crushed by kings or nlghtmared by conspiracies, we alone enjoy healthy peace, a ratleual liberty, a progressive prosperity. Wn ewe it te our political Institutions, te Deme- oratle teaenlnge, at least as mueh as te the exuberant seli. The man Is net a geed American who, knowing what we are, by act of word, experiment or thought, In any way will attem pt te weaken tbe foundations of this splendid political struoture the Ro Re Ro publeo of the United States. A TAUTY WITH miNOiri.ER. We meet te-day under conditions new te tbe Democrats et this generation. Hew often we steed In conventions In tbe past, when te ethers It seemed as If the shadows of death closed about us, when the day et victory seemed almost as far away as the day of general Judgment, it could net then be Bald that we met for spoils or per sonal advantage, We met te keep the fires of Democratle liberty alive till tbe dawn of a better day. If we were a party of misfortune, It must also be agreed tbat we were a party of undaunted courage and lndexlble princi ples. Twenty-eight years age the Demo cratic party, rent Inte fragments, heated by feuds that only time could allay or punish ment destroy, met, as It leeks new, merely te Bettle in angry mood the terms upon which they should become exiles from pewer. By tbelr mad dissensions they elected te go te defeat rather than wait for the sobering influence of tlme te close tbe breach. Te tbe younger men of tbat day tbe act seemed suicide mitigated by In sanity. Their madness transferred te a minority of tbe American pnople the political government of all. That party, whatever the honesty snd respectability of Its motives, was net bread or national at Its base. It bad almost but one central Idea, and when tbat Idea was set In the constitu tion and crystallzed Inte law, It ran a career of riot that appalled all men. The history of that period of political debauchery la tee sad and familiar te Americans te be recited anew. The Re publican party, sometimes peacefully and sometimes by force, sometimes fairly and sometimes by fraud, succeeded In holding power twenty-lour years, till at last the American people, ue longer condoning Its faults, or forgiving Its sins, hurled It from power and again committed te the historic party et tbe constitution and tbe iwbele Union, thn administration et our political affairs. We wen by tbe well-earned con 11 denca of the country In tbe rectitude of our nurpose by the Bid of chivalrous and con scientious men, who could no longer brook tbe corruptions of tbe Republican party. It was a great, deserved and neceBinry victory. The day en whieh Grever Cleveland, the plain, straightforward, typical American citizen, chosen at the election, took the oath of offlce In the presence of the multitude a day se lovely and se perfect that all nature seemed exuberantly te sanction and tocele. brate tbe victory tbat day marked the close of an old eia and tbe begtnnlng of a new one. It closed tbe era of usurpation of pewer by tbe Federal authority, of illegal force, of general contempt for constitu tional limitations and plain law, of glaring scandals, prelllgate waste and unspeakable corruption, et narrow sectionalism, et tbe reign et a party whose geed work bad long been done. It began the era et perfcet peace and perfect union the states fused In nil their sovereignty Inte a Federal republle with limited but Btnple power; of a publle service conducted with abselute integrity and strict economy of reforms pushed te thelr extreme limit; oteomprebeuslvo ami safe financial policy; giving security, and contldence tn all enterprise and en en deaeora Democratle administration faithful te the mighty trust, loyel te the pledges, true te the constitution, safe-guard-lng the interests and liberties et the people. And new we stand en tbe odge or another, and perhaps a groater contest, with a rela tion te tbe electors tbat we have net held for a generation tbat of responsibility for the great trust of government. We are no longer auditors, but accountants. Ne long er crltlcf, but tbe erltlclzjd. The respon sibility Is ours, aud if we have net taken all the power necessary tn make tbe responsi bility geed, tbe fault Is ours, net tbat of the people. We are coufrentoJ by a wily, un scrupulous and desperate fee. There will 1)0 no spook en tlie record tbat they will net masinlly Inte a blot, no circumstance tbat they will net exaggerate Inte a revelt. no class or creed that tbey will net attempt te reuBe, no fraud that they will net wil lingly perpetrate. They fancy, indeed, tbat there la "no imposture tee monstrous ter the popular credulity," no crlme that will net be asndonea. But we stand at guard, full-armed at every point te meet them. Our appeal Is net te passion or te prejndlce, te class or faction, te raee or creed, but te tbe sound common sense, the Interest, the Intolllgeneo and patriotism of tbe American people. THE AITAIU9 FROl'KIII.V MAKAOKI). The administration of President Cleve land has triumphantly Justified his election. It compels "-he respect, onnUdence and ap proval of tbe country, The prophets of evil and disaster are dumb. What the people see Is the government et tbe Union restored te its ancient footing et Justice, peace, honesty and Impartial enforcement of law. They see the demands of labor and agriculture met-se far a government can meet them by legislative enactments for their encouragement and pro tection. They see tbe veterans of tbe civil war granted pensions long due them, te the amount of mero than twlce In number and nearly three times In value of these granted under any previous ad ministration. They bce mere than thirty two million acres of land, recklessly and Illegally held by tbe grantees of tbe cor rupt hepubllean regime, restored- te the publiodemaln for tlie benefit of honest set tlers. They see tbenegre whose feara et Democratle rule were played upon by dem agegues four years age, net only mere fully protected than by nis pretended friends, but honored as hi race was never honored before. They see a financial policy under which reckless speculation has practically ceased, and capital freed Irem distrust. They see for the first time an honest ob servance of the law governing the elvll es tablishment and the empleyes of tbe pee pie rid at latt of tbe political highwayman with a demand for tribute In one hand and letter et dismissal In the ether. They see useless offices abolished and expen ses of administration reduced, while Improved methods have lifted the publle service te high efficiency. They see tranquility, order, security and equal Justice restored In tbe land, a watch ful, steady, sate and patrlotle administra tion the solemn premise made by the De mocracy faithfully kept It Is an honest government by an honest man"; If this record seems prosaic, If It lacks the blood bleed thrilling elements, it It Is net lit with lurid tires, it it cannot be Illustrated by a pyro technic display, It It la merely the plain record of ae institutional party tn a time et peace engaged In administrative reforms, it Is beoauae the people of thn country four years age elmted net te trust te sensation and experiment, however brilliant and alluring, but preferred te place tbe helm In a steady band, with a fearless, trust worthy, patrlotle man behind It Upen that record and upon our earnest efforts, as yet Incomplete, te redtice and equalize tbe burdens et taxation, we enter tne canvass and go te the palls conddeut that tbe free and Intelligent people et this great country will say, Well done, geed and faithful servants." 11UTV OF THK RITIZBN. Te tbe patriot! Independent cltlzen who four years sge forsook their old alleglauee and came te our support who slnee tbat tlme have nobly sustained the administra tion, the Democratle party ewes a deep debt of kratltude. That they have been reviled and Insulted by their former asaeelates Is net only a slenal oempllmont te thelr ohar ehar ohar aeter and Inlluence, but another evldenee et the decadence et the Hepubllean party. Blind worship et the maohlne the politi cal Juggernaut Is exacted from every man who will take even standing room In that party. The Democratle tern ple Is open te all, and if In council we cannot agree In all things, our motto Is, "In essentlsls unity, In non-essentials liberty ; In all things charity." Te all geed men we say, "Come In." "Uoed-wlll no'er halted at the deer-stone." As four years age you voted te reform the administration, te oensorvo our Institutions for tbe wcll-belng of our common country, se Jein with us Httsln In approval of the work ae well accomplished, te complete what remalns undone. We ask you te ro re mem liar that it la a fatal error te wesken the bends et a political organization by whieh great reforms have been aohleved, and risk them in tne hands or tneir Known adversaries. Four years age yen trusted tentatively the Democratle party and sup ported with real aud vigor Its candidate for president. Yeu thought htm strong In all the sturdy qaalltles requisite for the gteat tak of reform. Beheld your splendld J us us us tlfloatlen t Ne president In tlme of poaeo had ae difficult and laborious a duty te perform. Ula party hail been out el pewer for twenty four years. Every member et It had been venomensly excluded from the smallest pest whero administration could be studied. Kvery place was filled by men whose interest it was te thwart Inquiry and bollttle the new administration. But tbe master hand came te the helm and the true ceurse has been kept from the beginning. We need net wait for tlme te de Justlce te theobarao theebarao theobarae tor and sorvlce of President Cleveland. Henest, clear-sighted, patient grounded In rospeet for law and lust Ice ; with a thorough grasp of principles and situations ; with marvelous and conscientious industry ; tbe very Incarnation of Amines be bas nobly fulfilled the premise of his party, nobly met tbe expectations of his country, and written his name high en the scroll where future Americans will read only the names of men who bave been supreinely useful te the republic. Fellow Democrats I Tbls Is but the Initial meeting In a political campaign deatlued te be memerable. It will be a clashing of nearly even forces. Let no man horeor elsewhore belittle or undorestlma'.e the strength or roseurcos of the opposition But great as Ibey are, the old Democratle party, In conscious strength aud perfect union, faoes tbe Issue fearlessly, THE HFEKOlf UKABTII.Y AFI'LAUOKD, Somethlng of the dramatic ellect whieh would have marked such a s pooch If Chair man Cellins had spoken without notes wns lest from the fact that he read from manu script. But the audloneo was geed-natured as well as liberal In its applause especially at the mention of the president's name. Tbe preposition that taxation should be only for needed expenses was greeted by a lively outbreak which Indicated that most of theso present had heard et the treasury surplus and had decided that It whs a inonace te the nation's safety. The applause was goueral when, Chairman Cellins concluded bis address, and then the convention took It easy for a few mements wblle the numerous gentle men who had been honored by thelr selec tion as vlce presidents found tbelr way te the stage. Order once mero secured, tbe delegates had an unpleasant Burprlse In the announcement by the ehalrman tbat be received a communication from tbe com cem com mttteoon resolutions, saying that it would be Imposslble te present a repert until 8 p. ru. A murmur went through theorewded hall and It was evldent that tbe dele gations was anything but satisfied with the prospeot et staying here another night. Nothing could be done about It, however, aud Delegate Walters, of Missouri, availed himself of the opportunity te submit a long proamble and a sorles of resolutions whieh wero resd amid a geed deal of nolse. A communication was then read from Mrs. Virginia L. Miner and IS. A. Morrlweatber stating that tbey had been appointed by tbe Weman's convention recently held at Washington te prosent the cause of women te the present convention, and asking that ene of thelr number be heard for ten minutes. There wero oheers, laugbter, Jeers, Ironical applause, and shouts of "no." Mr. O'Donehuo, of New Yerk, e Hered a resolution giving the wo men an opportunity te be heard, whieh was adopted. Then Delegate Charles E. Beyle, of Pennsylvania, secured the pasaage of a resolution under whieh all further resolu tions should go te tbe commltteo without readlug. But It happoned that Delegate Timethy J. Campbell, et New Yerk, had lit his hand a resolution expressing sym pathy with Gen. Sheridan In his lllness and without stating its purport asked unani mous consent for Its consideration. A storm of objections were raised from all parts el tbe ball aud it was net until Mr. Campbell bad stated that tbe resolution In no way referred te the plat form that objection wa withdrawn and be was allowed te proceed. There was ap plause when Its nature became apparent, and It was adopted by a rising vole, all the delegate as well as a majority et the visitors getting upon their ftet The rep resentative et tbe wemen et the country wa new proeenlod. She proved te be Mrs. Mary Merrlwoatber, of St. Leuis, who took a prominent part In the Probl Prebl Probl tlen convention at lndlanaplls He much confusion prevailed tbat she could net be heard beyond the platform and befere sbe was half through with her written address orles of "tlme" compelled her te ceme te au abrupt conclusion. She retired Irem the platform with gieat disap pointment and chagrin. Mr. Barntim, of Ceauectlcut, moved that when the conven tion adjourned It should be until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. This was amended te be at 8 a. in. and 8 p. m. Di:t.i:eATi: hunhki.'h motion aiiei-ikii. Great confusion prevailed and In tbe midst of the uproar Delogate llcnsel, of Pennsylvania, moved tbat the convention preceed te tbe nomination of candidates ler the prosldeney and vice presidency, but that no ballets be taken until thocemmltteo en platform had reported. Brown, el Ohie, asked that the latter clause be stricken out, but by a majority vote tbe convention re fused te adjourn, and adopted Hnnsel's resolutions. The clerk oemmenoed te call tbe roll and tbe ballet was called for, The chairman of tbe Alabama delegation re spended that they tender the first pile en the call and the light te apeak te New Yerk. This brought out great cheerlng which was renewed when Daniel Dougherty wis named as tbe first orator te present the name of Grever Cleveland. TUK SH.VKU-TONOUKD DOIUUKUTT.

Scorning subterfuge, disdaining ro-eloo-tlou by conceallng oenvlotlons, he ceur ageeusly declares te Congress, dropping miner matter, that the supreme Issue Is reform, revision, red notion of national tax ation. That tbe treasury of tbe United State, glulted with unnoeded geld, or er er presses Industry, embarasses business, en dangers financial tranquility and breeds oxtravagaueo, centralization and corrup tion.

When this talented acquisition by Tam many from her sister city of Philadelphia appeared upon tbe platform te the right el the cbalr, the enthusiasm of the vast audi audi ence knew no bounds. Even this outburst however was put In the sbade by the storm that met his first montlen of the president's name and his .declaration that New Yerk pledged him her olectoral votes. Climbing up en chairs, desks, anything that could give them an olevated position the people cheered and nheered until it seemed as If tbe very walla and reef were qulverlng. It was a msgnifluent exhibition of the In spiration that the name of Grever Clovo Clevo Clove land brings te the Democracy. Nothing oeuld have been better than the delivery et the speech. Upright as a palm tree with arms outstretctied, the words falling sharply defined aud musical and reaching the farthest corners et the hall, with It was an occasion when tbeoraterand his speech aohlevtd a moasure el success entlrely por ted and ideat. The climax was reached when with arms raised ever his head and hands clenched the orator concluded, " I nomlnate Grevrr Cleveland, et New Yerk." The applause was net a Bet cheer, but a continuous one, and deafening shouts coming trem Meer, Irem balcenlca and from galleries and It was ronewod with a vigor past imagination. When a panel in the huge picture of the whlte heuse above the stage was tomevod and a portrait et the presldent dUolesod, the baud began play ing the "Star Spangled Baniier," but net a nole oeuld be heard five feet away from the point where the musicians strove against the noise In apparent pantomime Flags, banners, hat, every thing within reach were waved In the air and trumpets, tin whistles and bugles ad ad ded te tbe din. As fast as the threat of one delegation gave out another took up the cheers. Then attention was turned te the New Yerk delegation, the ban ners et every state were heisted high and a three times tbree were given for Dougherty and his colleagues. In tbe enthusiasm of the moment the banners of Alabama and Tennessee were oarrled ever Inte tbe New Yerk section and tbe tbree waved In unison, tbe emblematic union or the North and the Seuth being K roe ted with shouts from 15,000 threats. Klve minutes ;passed by, then ten, then Ulteeu and still the convention was en Its feet cheerlng, shouting, waving any fabrla that came handy and enjoyed Itself immensely. In all tills tlme tbere hsd net been a second's break In the con tinuous volley of applaute. A New Yerk delegate tere down the eagle from tbe gallery and held It In tbe air evor tbe heeds of his colleagues. A lady In the gollery waiting te secure a flag took her bonnet from her head and waved It by the ribbons, The example of the New Yorkers became contagious and In a few minutes tbe walls were bare of the ornamental eagles, flags and every thing exoept the long strips et bunting which could net be remeved. Twenty minutes paased and the record et tbe oentlnued cheering that succeeded the presentation et Governer Cleve land's name at Chicago In 1B9I had been broken. At the end of twenty, two minutes tbe ehalrman rapped vigor ously for erder and It was hardly restored but again enthusiasm breke out and It wa net nntll 12:33 when the applause bad lasted Just 24 minutes that the tumult came te an end.

It was a horseman's speech that Judge McKonzle tnade, oeuahod In horseman's language, and Ha nevelty would have cap cap tured even an adverse constituent There was a renewal et the applause when the apeaker oencludod by moving that tbe rules be suspended and Grevor Cleveland be nomlnated by acclamation. JudgeTwIggs, of Geargls, supported the nomination In an energetic spoceh, In which speak ing of the tariff question he said tbat while Georgia was peer, ehe refused te grew rleh by levylng trlhute en tbe peo peo poe plo.

His an cestors had moved Inte New Jersey from Connecticut, and many et tbem were prcaehers. Ula father, born at Norwich was settled at Caldwell as a Congregational paater wben Grever was born. He was educated first at the oxeollont publloscheols et New Jersey, and then at an academy In Clinten, Oneida oeunty, New Yerk. When only slxtoen years old he came te the metropolis te acoept n clerkship In tbe asylum for the blind, where he Is still lovingly remombered. When ether young men ei nis age would nave devoted their leisure hours te the pleasures of tha city, he was happleat when reading te the In mates of the Institution, and he thus Im proved his own mind whlle relieving the ennui of the allllcted. Ue Is next heard of making his way West In oempiuy with an enterprising young man, with Cleve land, Ohie, as his objeotlve point ; but visit ing while en his way an undo residing In Buffalo, he was Induced te remain In that city as elerk in the store of his relative lie was eighteen years of age at tbe tlme, an ambitious young fellow, possessed of Ibe earnestdeslre te beceme a successful lawyer. Ills uncle favored this aspiration ; and we find the youth aclerk In thu office el tbe Buf falo firm of RogerB, Bowden it Rogers, and at the same time onjeylng thu comforts el a geed home at his relative's heu. He was duly admltted te tbe bar In 1859, and re- maiueu wuu nis eia mm ler years. Ills mark lln tbe profession was made it ence, and In his twenty -sixth year he was appointed assistant district attorney for Erie oeunty. Tbls position, which be held for three years, gave him a thorough knowledge of public affairs. In 1805, when tbe Democracy was still under the cloud of tbe civil war, he accepted tbe nomination for district attorney, but was defeated. In 1800 Mr. Cloveland became the law partner el F. V. Vanderpool, and In 18fi9 he ad inltted Messrs. Lining aud Folsom te thn firm. In 1870 he was nlected sheriff of Erle county. In 1S81 he was nominated by the Democrats for mayor of Buffalo, and his name we halled with enthusiasm by all clauses of the community. Ills platform was that of reform, and he was triumphantly elected, running several thousand votes ahead of bis ticket. Ills Incumbency et the cilice was suecesslul and popular, The earliest reports from tbe Democratle state conven tion spoke el Mayer Cleveland's nomina tion for governor of New Yerk In 1882, as a surprise. It was no surprise te tbe men who proposed tbe nomination, and he was elect ed by an overwhelming and memorable msjerlty evor bL competitor, Hen. Charles J, Felger. On tbe lltbef July, ISSI.hewaa nominated by the Democratic party as their candidate for tbe presidency of tbe United State, and was duly elected te tbe position en tbe 1 til of November, 1581.
