(Wednesday, June 6, 1888) — President Grover Cleveland of New York was renominated by acclamation today at the Democratic National Convention, meeting at the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall.

Democrats also had to choose a replacement for Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks, who served for only eight months before he died in office on Nov. 25, 1885.

On the final day of the convention, June 7, 1888, former Senator Allen G. Thurman of Ohio was nominated Vice President by acclamation after defeating former Governor Isaac P. Gray of Indiana 684-101 on the first ballot.

The Cleveland-Thurman ticket would oppose the Republican ticket of Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton (nominated later in June 1888) in the 1888 general election.
