The Democratic National Convention opened in Chicago with Grover Cleveland as temporary chair. Delegates debated tariff reform and proceeded through credentials, committee selections, and nominations culminating in Stevenson winning the nomination by acclamation after lengthy balloting and adjournment.
The Democratic convention stayed in session overnight at Caicaco starting June 23, with Chairman Owens presiding and Rev. Alfred Henry chaplain. Palmer Fellows and Wilson led discussions on credentials, permanent organization, and tariff reform, as platform debates centered on tax policy and coinage. Neal of Ohio proposed a tariff substitute that drew strong opposition, while a Missouri delegate presented a zinc gavel amid lengthy deliberations.
The national convention adjourned after a day marked by a storm. Vice presidential nominations included Gray of Indiana, Adlai E Stevenson of Illinois, John L Mitchell of Wisconsin, and Morse of Michigan. A roll-call determined the results, triggering a stampede to the winning side.
Governor Abbett and De Witt D. Hill leaders praise Grover Cleveland as the chosen standard bearer. New York backs Hill and Boies as Horace Boies of Iowa emerges as a cross‑region choice for the Democratic ticket with tariff reform as a central issue.
