(AP)-- 1 And so the mantle of Demo- cratic power passed to George i McGovern, the nice guy who couldn't did. The men who challenged him, and one who helped subtly, i were left to applaud and watch as the Democratic presidential nominee began his quest for the White House.

There stood Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who helped from a distance, who in other circum- stances might have been his party's choice. There stood Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey, the candidate who lad been. And Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, a towering early favorite when McGovern was only a decimal at the bottom of the public opinion polls. In the emotional tulmultuous climax of the 36th Democratic a i a Convention, they watched from the side and the rear of the platform as waves of cheers engulfed UcGovern and running-mate Sen.

Thomas F. Eaglelon, the Democratic ticket. Ahead for McGovern "was the monumental- arty whose' conservatives blt- erly opposed him. But behind was a campaign from nowhere to the top of the party. As the convention acclaimed in the hours before dawn Friday, the nominee stood, beaming and waving, at the rostrum.

The delegates sang "The Hymn of the. Republic," clapping-- rhythmi- cally. A few ranks away stood one Joseph Grandmaison, 27, of Nashua, N.H., who-managed he campaign to persuade New la-mpshire voters to support a South Dakota "senator whose name meant nothing against Muskie of next-door Maine. Muskie himself was near the rear of the platform, clapping mechanically and forcing a smile. McGovern lost in that long- ago New Hampshire primary.

but -he got 37 per cent of the vote. Muskie ran first, but he ost, too, as the voters gave their first signal that he was lot the omnipotent front-runner le seemed. Kennedy spoke of the long primary route behind as he presented McGovern to the con- vention. "There is a new wine rising across the land," he said. "Starting faintly amid the plains and rocky hills of South Dakota, it spread its gathering momentum to New Hampshire and Wisconsin and Massachu- setts, sweeping across the na tion to California and 'back to Pennsylvania.

"And now to Miami." Wisconsin was the first oi McGovern's 10 presidential pri mary victories, Massachusetts the one that installed him as the leader among Democratic But before the primaries McGovern struggled througl bleak weeks of winter while Muskie reaped the endorse ments of party leaders and sa far atop the polls. The South Dakota senator later acknowl edged those were the most dis couraging days of the cam paign he began as an almos solo venture on Jan. 19, 1971. Eagleton, McGovern's run ning mate from Missouri, re called those days as he accep itical pros of 1972," Eagleton said. "Most of us did not expect nominate a man who began iviih only five per cent in the xlls." McGovern's campaign cadre vas fashioned at first around u's Senate aides and veterans if the presidential bid of the late Sen.

When the voting and the aucuses began, they were eady. McGovern called it the best rganization in the history oi American politics.

Secretary of Commerce Peler G. Peterson, citing foreign and domestic demand which has pushed hide prices to a record high, announced at a news con- ference that: --Effective midnight, ship- ments abroad of U.S. cattle hides will be limited to last year's aiready-high export level of 16 million hides. --To carry out the program, export tickets will be issued to U.S. cattle hide producers ac- cording to their percentages of total hide production.

Under this system, he said, any finan- cial benefits from selling hide at higher foreign prices will be retained by U.S. cattle produc ers and consumers. Peterson declined to predic' flatly that the new effort wil reduce shoe or meat prices in the United States, though he portrayed costs tc the con sumer as lower on these items than they would be without th program being imposed. nomi Vpast made such secret ses- nation: "Most of the delegates in Ihi hall did not expect to be the po Ireland Aides said have climbed shoes alrcnd 1 per cent since January and were projected fo another 3 to 10 per cent in crease by this fall if there wer no hold on hide price rises. "We believe it will result in a reduction of the price of Ameri can-made shoes," Peterson sai without giving a precise figure.

"Higher prices and shorte: supplies (of hides) result higher leather prices and high er prices for leather products principally leather shoes," said in explaining his ac aon. Peterson set no time limit control program while say mg it would be "lifted as soo as market conditions warrant. He noted that the export ticke system is being programme until November to start with. --By last week, cattle prices hit a peak of 29.75. cent i pound, more than th listoric average.

--The main reasons climbing demand the United seriousl low hide and leather" ventories here, and an abnor mal foreign demand. -Imposing a ceiling on sorts at last year's level reduce inflationary pressure on shoes, give American cattle men a fair and rising share revenues from hide -exports benefit U.S. workers 'arid ii dustries by preserving- stabilit of businesses using provide a generous hides, an and stab' overseas trading partners; Peterson said that expor supply of hides for America tickets are likely to become of some value because of an an-' ticipated higher international market price for hides than that which will prevail in the United States. He said the Internal Revenue Service will be asked to close watch on U.S. producers to make sure they pass nues from the tickets on to ei- ther cattlemen or to consumers in the form of lower prices.

He wrote that McGovern's success so far 'shows that there exists in the United States a climate change, a feeling of 'fed-up- ness' with the traditional order, a desire for transformation that gone deep into all levels of society."

Some of the groups that were in the streets this past week also had people in Convention Hall as delegates. There was a widespread feeling the Demo- crats were listening and the demonstrations were just to re- mind the Democrats people would protest if necessary.

The same feeling does not prevail about the Republicans. "The Democrats let us in and heard us out," said Jim Hale, a Miami organizer for the Viet- nam Veterans Against the War. "You don't think the Republi- cans are going to do that? The only way we will reach them is from the streets." Police officials speak with an understated trepidation about August.
