VOTES TO SPAEE. Grover Cleveland the Democracy's Chosen Leader. Nominated for the Presidency for tho Third Time. Only One Ballot Result Kecelved TVlth Enthusiasm. of tie Voti 'WMcli "Was Taken at 3:20 A.

(tad TTin tne Only Bivalj. QEOVEK WES'S. CHICAGO, Cleveland was nominated for president by the democratic national convention at 3:20 a. m. It took but one ballot to secure Mr, Cleveland's nomination, the vote resulting out of a possible 910 votes in the convention.

Ei-Gov. Abbett, of New Jersey, placed Mr. Cleveland in nomination, and excited a wave of enthusiasm in the convention that kept it in an uproar for over twenty minutes when he mentioned Mr. Cleveland's name. Men stood on chairs and yelled, threw up their hats, waved portraits of the nominees, took their coats off ond waved them on high, and surrendered themselves completely for awhile to the intoxication of hero worship.

Then tho crowd, tired, hoarse and perspiring, slowly quieted down, and. Chairman Wilson was ea- nbled to proceed wltii 'of the convention. Hill Cheered. During all the.uproar excited in the crowd by the mention ot Mr. Cleveland's name the Xew York delegation sat quietly in their seats without taking any part in the noise making.

But the New York men's time was coming. Ex-Gov. Abbett, in'the. course of tis speech, referred to Senator David B. Hill.

That was all that was needed. The delegation mounted on their' chairs and, hoisting a Hill banner, set the wave ol in motion. It spread until the farthest confines of the im- reenso throng were in its embrace. It exceeded the demonstration for Mr. Cleveland both in intensity and in duration of time.

The tumultuous wave of applause-rolled on for twenty- five minutes, and th'en the Hill men, heated, but happy, allowed speakers to have a show. Earned Senator Hill. 'William C. De Witt was the man who placed Senator Hill's name before th'e convention. About the time he secnred the floor the floodgates of the slues opened and a torrent of rain descended on the roof of the wigwam with such force that his voice was inaudible.

The New York delegation was determined that Mr. De Witt's oratory should not be wasted and Bourke Cockran moved that a recess of fifteen minutes be taken in order that the elements might have uninterrupted control. Without bothering the convention with the resolution or asking their will on it, Chairman Wilson declared a recess of fifteen minutes, and hoisting an umbrella to keep oC the stream of water that was pouring down on his head, waited for the atorm to subside. Finally, the fifteen minutes and the Jury of the storm passed, and Mr. De Witt went on with his speech, which again excited a wave ol enthusiasm for Hill.

Raised Their Umbrellas. The great hall presented a curious appearance during tho storm. While therp were over 20,000 people In it not over a thousand were visible from the speaker's platform. A sea of umbrellas was what stretched from below him to the farthest confines. The galleries were black with umbrellas also, and all over the house miniature Niagaras could be seen and heard descending.

Presented Kamc. Chairman Wilson then proceeded with the roll coll of states, and-when Iowa's turn came Hon. John M. Duncomba, of Fort Dodge, presented the name of Gov. Boies as its choice.

This was the Iowa men's opportunity, aad they made the most of it Aa noise makers they were a success, and had efficient cooperation from New York and some of the southern d-ela- The Seconds. A. W. Green, otHlinois; William E. Emglish, of Indians; Thomas S.

Virginia; Jboh f. Davis, of Virginia, and Mr. Lamoreatoc, of Wisconsin, mnfie speeches seconding Mr. Cleveland's nomination. For Hill tie principal speakers seconding the nomination were Hon.

John R.FeUoivs and Eon. Bourke Cockran, oT New York, and John M. Daniel, of Virginia. The latter iu his speech aroused such, a storm of tvr.itli among the Cleveland men that he had to stop several times while the chairman tried to restore order. So great the confusion that Mr.

Owena, of Kentucky, made a motion that tte convention adjourn until 11 o'clock, and Bo-jrkc Cockran and Thomas J. O'Donnell, of Colorado, seconded the motion. The Cleveland men were determined to force a ballot, however, aa3 hoivled so that Chairman 'Wilson declared the motion to adjourn out of order, and Mr. Daniel concluded his speech.
