THE riTTSBUKGTI TOST, Fill DAY, JUNE 21, 1892. THE NOMINEES. ADLAI E. STEVENSON. ITWASA SURPRISE moves that this convention do now ad-i journ sine die.

And fjhe chair thanking the convention for its kindness to himself, and asking its indulgence for lack of en-j pacify to perform the duties of the otfice, hereby declares the convi-niion adjourned sine die. i "Outside of New York every State in the North which the Iemoerats have ever carried in a presidential contest, or stand any chance of carrying now, was overwhelmingly ill ivor of the candidate who was chosen. This is the way a candidate ought to be selected." The Tetefirom says: ''The present I eini-cratic tariff utterance is brave and right, and suited to the times, Quite possibly it may have been thrust upon this convention by opponents of Mr. Cleveland for the purpose of embarrassing his canvass. Any showing at Chicago, giving Cleveland only votes.

The delegates did not represent the sentiment of the mass of the party, and I fe 1 sure they will be made to see that, they made a mistake. Governor Campbeli's action was magnanimous. He stood nobly by Mr. Cleveland, and I am sure fiie 1 lemoerats of hio will not forget him for it. "I shall not take part in the campaign.

No one who knows the condition of my health would expect me to do but 1 shall have, a deep interest in it as much interest as I can have in anything in this world now. I shall be obliged, however, to sit here in my home and simply pray for success to crown the efforts of Democracy." .1 udge Thurman says he would send a telegram of congratulation to Mr. Cleveland to-night. WHAT TA5IHASY JIEX SAY- Great chcerhfg ensued and the band played "America," the audience joining in chorus as they slowly moved out. Tiie time of adjournment was 5:17 r.

H. Jones, chairman of the committee on resolutions, anil who was chairman of the sub-committee in which most of the discussion of the platform took place, in the course of an interview on the subject of the platform, said: "As originally drafted it -would have been the shortest platform that has been put forth by a Democratic national convention for 40 years or more. Its length is due to the fact that a number of resolutions were added by the committee and a number of amendments adopted, each one of which expanded its form. In spite of these additions the platform would have been considerably abridged if there had been time for a proper revision." Colonel Jones further said that he personally preferred the tariff plank which was substituted by the convention for ih.it reported by the committee. He thought it would attract votes in the West.

It is simply a declaration of a fundamental principle, aud does nor go into detail.

He was appointed to the oiiioe of master in chancery by the circuit judge, and after holding that position lor tour years, was elected district, attorney, an office which he also held for four years.

At the expiration of his term of otliee as district attorney, he returned lo liloomington, 111., and formed a law partnership with, lames S. in 1.X.H8. hieli partnership still exists, the firm of Stevenson Kw ing being one of the ailing law firms of Cent ral 1 llinois, and one in repute in State and Federal courts for over 20 years. In IStj-t Mr. Stevenson canvassed the State of Illinois as a candidate for presidential elector on he Diuoeratic ticket.

In 1S74 he wits nominated by the. nio-oratio parly for eoi-gress in the liloomington. 111., district. The district was Kepublican majority, but aft-r a very exciting canvass Stevenson defeated his opponent, John MeNulta. for re-el.

An the latter's election Stevenson was ft rsf assistant postmaster general, and held lh.it otfet- the entire Cleveland admin ra ion.

Her Votes First Cast For Gray and Then Given to Stevenson. SCENES OF TEE CLOSISa E0UE3 From a Staff Correspondent. Chicago, June 'S'. K. Stevenson of Illinois and not Isaac IMiray of Indiana was nominated This afternoon lor Vice 1'ivsidciit and shortly afterwards tin- convention adjourned sine die.

It was a sort of a surprise, as the indications had all l-cn Gray. The convention nine very near in a panic just i few minutes before adjournment. Every day of the convention there has been a storm of great severity and more or less nervousness. The vast wigwam looked like a loose structure anyhow, an 1 the danger of a panic was freonently remarked. About o'clock tins afternoon wlu nearly everybody was standing or liieviiii; nbout one of the arc lights in the, center of the hull dropped with a crash.

There was an immediate, rush, and a panic -i 'enied imminent. i-iler was restored, but if looked bad for a few -eonds. Pi niis ania's part in the nomination of (ieneral Stevenson was ir.teres- i 114. The delegation tmd the unit rule east lit votes for (irsiy. In nniioiuicinfr the vote Mr.

ib nsi said a poll of the delegation showed for Gray, 17 for Stevenson, 7 for and 4 for Mitchell. Then during the confusion of the channii of votes to Stevenson several I'eiins 1 vani ans called on Hensel to make it unanimous. He. was anticipated by another d'-h ue, but succeeded in second in at the motion. It iWA'S IIKI'AYM EXT.

The Iowa people repaid Henry AV.itter-son for seconding the nomination of IVies They cast their I'd votes for Kentucky editor t'-r vice president Hut they were the tirst to flop to Stevenson. The wigwam and the people in it had a de-ridedly bedratiled appearance this afternoon. Everything was moist, including the spirits of a majority of the delegates. The big work of the great convention was over, and the Cleveland people had scored the victory. It was a heavy battle and hard to los.

The amis died hard. The delegates to the convention of 1892 will tell many times how they attended the long all-night, session and participated in scenes of excitement s-1- dom if ever paralleled. The adjournment was until 2 o'clock this afternoon, and as soon as the. delegates were awake they began to talk about the tail of the Cleveland ticket. There were many names mentioned.

Gray of Indiana was believed yesterday to be the man, but this morning he had plenty of rivals. There was Stevenson of Illinois. for instance, for whom it was lid the New Yorkers would vote, as they had no use for Gray, alleging that he had deserted them for Cleveland. Then Mitchell of "Wisconsin came up as a favorite son of that State. Morse of Michigan was declared to be a candidate of the same i kind.

MORSE F.XIT.CTKD XOTIIIXO. Don Dickinson was heard to say that the "Wolverine would give Morst their vote, but they did not expect him to be rhosen. The people occupied a rather peculiar ositioii. Some of the leh gafes were eager to have lioies in secant! place, among them Ed Campbell. He aid with such a ticket Iowa would be as surely Dcmocratie as Missouri.

There were some of Hoies's friends who would not consider him for second la. and Iowa did not put his name uelieved it would the honor had "ampbeil thought th sat ion h.iv dthoiigh it. is i been r. f'es al i 1 en rcn.b red Democratic r. tiekel would stand a mighty goo 1 show in Iowa this fill.

In this connection if may be remarked that there was cnsiib-rable dis- i sfaet ion with the way the Iciics boom was conducted, some saying that he nucrht 'o have hail a good many more votes, or at ieast would have been matte solid for second place. The (iray people had the noisiest demonstration of th" mo'-ning. The Indiana man was lb-ved to be in the hut. Stevenson developed -x sT'-ngfi. All the talk of the notiii teat was for harmony.

now that the big nomination had been made. They were all Cleveland people now. The words last night of pourke Cochran that New York was rock-ribbed fr Demo, racy, no matter ho the candidate, was taken is an augury victory rteit November. An enthusiastic Dt ino-er it this morning was congratulating Don Dickirson on th- Cleveland victorv, saving he had had an intuition of what was coming. "It was not intuition." promptly rt -plied r.

"No.

it is too earl vet. As I iv. tlm trilK is premature. The national com- mittee wm meet this afternoon and organize temporarily. It will be 10 days before the permanent organization is made, iifier the nominee has been consulted." Pat, Collins tried to get in a resolution that the next convention be held with the presence cf the public.

Many favored it, but there were lots of noes. The Democratic party was hardly ready for such a move, mil the resolution was not put to a vote. The boi sterou sm ss and evident attempt to influence the action cf conventions novva-3avs are having their effect. The people are lea ving the city as fist is the trains can carry them.

The delegates unit ted wilolv ova one a not her, each one. stnv ing to get as far away from New York as possible, and in the shortest space of time.

The cries and yells ami howls which i had been sent up from the various cantli-I dales during the convention were m.agni-! lieu ten fol but now were turned into i frantic exclamations of fear. It. seemed as if there were no possible way out of a panic which must have resulted in the loss of perhaps hundreds of lives.

Men and women were and with no gentle hands, were on ed in their seats and held there. A number of the delegates seized other delegate-sand required 1 hem to take their seats.

A wild surg- of humanity which broke over the newspaper platform was promptly ne by the warriors of the pencil, and was rolled back and held in place until its component, parts regained their sens: s.

"We have made our case as strongly as we do now before the court of final resort of the Democracy of the republic. We can only bow to its conclusion and do all the work we can to elect the candidate.

The condition of New York politicallv is rather a curious one. We have a difficult tight to ike, and we certainly would have preferred to make it with some candidate who would not have aroused opposition in our State. The judgment of our party, however, we accept fully and finally, and we will do all for Mr. Cleveland that we would have done for Hill or Governor (iray. We feel I hat we are handicapped, but New York may be depended upon to do the hi sr we can under the most adverse circumstances.

If is my judgment that, with hard work, we can p-rhaps carry the State. I do not like to make any promise, but if the State can be carried for Cleveland by loyal and faithful vork. then nobody more than ourselves will be glad to know that our fears were ni lb ss.

My advice was not taken, and now I must take the advice of the convention. The convention adiscs Cleveland, and for Cleveland all our work ill be done. The New York Democracy will not sulk.
