the father f waters. Upon each fiowinj banner ia inscribed but a solitary name and that name has been their pillar of cloud by day and their pillar ot hre by niht; that came has been Grover Cleveland. Cheers. With a mijhty shout, yes I say with a mighty fhout, he will be proclaimed our standard bearer in the coming conflict. Cheers. The ptople at home who are becoming rapidly educated, and who can not be much longer kept in ignorance of the great truths and principles of which he is the splendid exponent, wLl ratify that nomination at the polls, lor as sure as the ides of November come the republican party of the United States will have received its death wound and final overthrow. Applause. Oentleinen of the. convention, in 1SS4 the public career of Grover Cleveland was confined to the limits of the great state which proudly claims him as her sou. To-day. in 1838, his name and fame and career is only bounded by the horizon of every civilized country upon the face of God' earth loud applause; he was pledged to the people of the L nittd .States iu 1S-S4, by those who Knew his courage, his ability, and his patriotism; and he lias redeemed that pledge. Thank God no further pledge is necessary to insure the continuance of that heroic devotion to duty which ha been exemplified by a matchless, unsullied and splendid administration. Applause. He Las not only won the applause of his countrvmen but the plaudits of the civilized world of ''well done, thou good and faithful servant" . Ft 'low democrats, hear me for a moment longer. Whence comes the fact that from every state from Maine to California and from the Atlantic to the I'acihV, that there is among the people composing this convention of over SOO delegates but one name on their lips and but one name in their hearts? I will tell you why. Hear me a moment. Jt is because he has pursued honest methods; it is because he is the stern enemy of robbery, of jobbery end monopoly, cheer? a Horatius at the bridge, lie is such a lion in this path of corruption be'cause he has laid the foundation of good government, of honesty and reform so w ide and deep that the principles underlying the government of our country and the permanency of our institutions and the spread of the true principles underlying our federal system, that they have found their hiebest and grandest and best exponent under his matchless leadership. And last, but not least hear nie a moment longer it is because of his bold and his fearless opposition upon the subjVrt of the abuses of exihtinc tarift, Cheers. When he found mid now f am nearly through when he found that the people of the United States were being mercilessly robbed and plundered by the rapacity of monopolies under the specious guise of protection, and when he fouud that the great agricultural industry of the country, which is the source of all true wealth, was bound hand and foot like Prometheus upon the rock, when the air was dark with vultures and kites which had settled in devouring Hocks upon its bosom, tearing with their merciless beaks the vitals of this prostrate giant, it was then that Grover Cleveland the matchless man that he is when he assumed the robes of power, he turned h:3 back upon the blandishments and expedients ofonice, and with a swoop like a royal ea;le, he came to the rescue of the FUÜering peopie. Applause. 1 say, gentlemen, rescued, because though the bill now rending, known as the Miils bill, may be mutiited and emasculated, though it may sutler the fate of oil great reforms in the besrinnintr. because you know it is said that even the mills of Gods grind slowly, but they grind awfully fine. Cheers. Grover Cleveland has planted seed which has taken deep root, and as sure as God defends the right the country will be redeemed and the people sooner or later disenthralled. I Cheers. Mr. President and gentlemen, in ehalf of the great state of Georgia, I repeat I am glad to be able to nominate to second the nomination of Grover Cleveland as president rtf the United States. Great applause and cries for "Voorhees. The Chairman "Gentlemen, we are proceeding under the order of the convention itself. The pcnzeant-at-arrng will keep order in the galleries and anybody making a noise in the gallery will be excluded from it if continued. The convention itFelf is in order. The secretary will call the next state." Mr. McKenzie of Kentucky "Mr. Chairman. I venture to call the attention of the chair to the fact that the motion that I submitted was certainly in order for the reason that I moved to suspend the rules and make the nomination of Grover Cleveland unanimous." The Chairman "The chair rules that the motion of the gentleman is entirely in order, but it does not necessarily prevent Fomebody else from making a "motion." Laughter. The sec retary then resumed the call of the roll of states as follows: The state of California. No response. The f-tate of Colorado. Six vobs for (J rover Cleveland. The state of Iowa. No resjonse. The state of Delaware. A delegate '"Delaware throws s-ix votes for Grover Cleveland." Cheers. The Chairman "This is calling the roll tor the purpose of ascertaining if any täte desires formally, as New York and Kentucky have done, to place the gentleman in nomination." The state of Florida was called, but there was no response. "When the state of Illinois was called Mr. Morrison paid: "Illinois seeonds the nomination of (trover Cleveland." When the state of Indiana was called there was cheering and cries ot "Gray, Gray." There was no response to the- call for the state of Iowa. When the state of Kansas was called the following communication was read by the clerk: '"The Kansas demot racy seconds the nomination of the illustrious son of New York, recognizing in him tho Moses of democracy and republican institutions, and greets "his renomination with t!ie plaudit, 'well done, thou good and faithlul.servant, enter thou upon your second term..' " Great applause. The states of Illinois, Maine and Massachusetts were called, but no one responded When the state of Michigan was railed Mr. Stout rame up on the platform end fpoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, and Gf.ntleme.v of the N.ntional Convention I am hüj.py to meet you here to-day in behalf of the noble state of Michigan to second ia her behalf the name of Grover Cleveland for president. Applause. I recognize the fact that on the 4th of March next will end the first century of this republic under the constitution. On the 4th of March next what more fitting beginuing of the new century than the inauguration of Grover Cleveland? Applause.! I preet hre to-day the representatives of thirty-eight states. e point with pride to noble Masarhufietts, of which a great orator once said, "There she stands. fhe needs no encomium from me." We remem wr her Adamses and Otises. And we come to the gallant state of New York, which has made here iu behalf of its delegation the nomination. I see here the represenatives of the state of William Peun. We see here the representatives of that pallant old mother of state, Virginia. And the reason why I like old Virginia is, that I am her son, in that she gave to us the territory which makes the five great states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. Applause. I love her. that she is to-day the mother of states and of presidents. I pass alon? down, and I see here the representatives of the gallant old state of North Carolina, the gallant representatives of the state of fcouth Carolina, whose sons stood vith Adams in maintaining the declaration of independence, and established that constitution which enables us to be here to-day. I see here the representatives of the gallant state of Georgia, and in one of her princely cities, in an avenue two miles long and feet wide, she has reared a monument to the memory of her signers of the declaration of independence. I have not time to detain you in enumerating all the Utes of this republic, bat if there be one which I prominently love, it is that Ione Star state, which was aeouired tinder Polk's administration in 117. There are two great inscriptions on the monuments of our country that will go down through all coming time, the one that is inscribed upon that rock to th memory of the noble men of the country. The stato of Texas remembers her sons who perished at La Iiohia. Hie has now reared a noble monument to her sons who perished at Alamo. Thermopylae has survivors to chronicle her glory. Laftohia has none. Is it any wonder, then, my friends, the great marc of commercial progress which we witcess t0-day? The reason i, the puritan and the cavalier have joined hands in the work today and they will go ou to victory. The states of Minnesota and Mississippi were called by the secretary w ith no retjoii3ö from the delegates. When Mis

souri was called a frantic outcry arose for "Vest," "Vest," but Vest failed to materialize and the call went on. Nebraska, New Hampshire and New Jersey remained siient in their Beats when called, but when the secretary announced that it was New York's turn, a general howl went up for Fellows. Mr. Fellows sat in the gallery behind the platform among the guests, and in response to the popular voice he arose and bowed his acknowledgement. A number of misguided friends urged him to come down and give the convention a talk. Mr. Fellows, however, was obdurate in his determination not to expend any eloquence on this occasion and remained in his seat. North Carolina had no favorite son to propose, and therefore remained 6ilent. The secretary then called the states of Ohio, Oregon and Pennsylvania. Loud cries for Mr. Hunt. Mr. Hunt not responding, the secretary continued and called the 6tates of Khode Island and South Carolina. Mr. Dawson was called for. F. W. Dawson of South Carolina "The state of South Carolina seconds the nomination of Grover Cleveland, and seconds tho letter and message." Cheers. The state of Tennessee was called, and no one responding the state of Texas was called. Mr. Lightioot was called for to respond. W. W.Lightfootof Texas "On behalf of the democratic party of tho great state of Texas, a state which has roiled up the grandest democratic majority of any state in this union, we claim the right to second the nomination of (trover Cleveland. Applause. Wo of Texas love the gallant chieftain who in the most remarkable campaign known to history had the firmness to" ring out as the kev-note of his campaign the motto, ,'Telf the Truth.' Applause. We admire, Mr. Chairman, the noble statesman who had the firmness to inscribe on his banner the motto, 'A public oliice is a public trust.' Applause "e admire the Jacksonian firmness which penned a message to congress throwing the entire weight of the administration upon the side of a practical taritr for revenue only. Applause. In 1SS4 the state of Texas rolied up tho grand majority for the national ticket of 134,000 aiplause, and sir, with a united and invincible majority it hopes to roll up in November for the national ticket 200,000 majority." Applause. The state of Vermont was then called and no response being made the state of Virginia was called, upon which there w ere continued calls for Mr. Daniel. He not responding, the states of West Virginia and Wisconsin were called, the cries for Daniel being continued. The territory of Arizona; no response. The territory of Dakota; no response. The District of Columbia; no response. The territory of Idaho; no response. The territory of Montana. Loud calls for Mr. McGinnis. creating much laughter, but the celebrated delegate refused to make any response. The territory of New Mexico; no response. The territory of Utah; no response. The territory of Washington ; no response. The territory of Wyoming; no response. At this point the yells for Mr. Daniel were renewed, but he refused to make any response. The Chair "The question is upon the motion made by the gentleman from Kentucky, Mr. McKenzie, that tho rules be suspended, which requires the calling of the states to vote upon a candidate for president of the United States, and that Grover Cleveland of New York be nominated by acclamation." Mr. "W'aterbury of New York "I rise to a point" of order." Mr. Roswell Flower of New York, had been standing at the head of his delegation and when Mr. Waterbury announced that he had a point of order, Mr. Flower glided over to Waterbury's immediate proximity and forcibly pulled him and his point of order down into a seat. Mr. Flower explained with great vigor to the unfortunate Waterbury that he was interrupting the proceedings, and he must insist that he keep quiet, which Mr. Waterbury proceeded to do. While this little episode was on, the convention was shouting a very loud, and with a single exception, a.-sent to the question put by the chair, and in the niiLt of the noise and confusion Mr. Collins said: "Tho chair declares that Grover Cleveland of New York, having received the unanimous vote, is the candidate of the democratic party for the oliice of president of the United States." D. W. Voorhees ot" Indiana "Mr. Chairman, I hope this convention will adjourn until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. Mr. President, I do not recognize a vote en masse in this way. I therefore call for the roll of the states on the question of adjournment until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. In support of that motion I desire to say what is well known to every democrats here, that the committee on resolutions will not report thia afternoon. We will have to be here to-morrow morning anyhow, and the time between now and then may be profitably used for the harmony and success of the democraiic party, and will result in forwarding our business, and in closing tho proceedings of this convention by adopting this motion. If it were practicable for us to get through thist afternoon and adjourn and go home, I would not make this motion ; but it has already been announced that we are to stay here and agree upon a platform of principles, and therefore I ask that the balance otthe business of the convention be deferred until to-morrow morning also." Good, good, right. Mr. S. M. White of California "Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen of the convention. I have seconded the motion ot Senator Voorhees and I have done it for this reason only, not to prevent the nomination of any candidate, but because we should have a platform calmly, carefully and deliberately adopted. I know that there are many men here in whose bosoms the same sentiments that now animate my own are swelling, and I know that they are anxious to contribute their voices to the popular sentiment in favor of the man whom 1 favor, applause but this i.s not a question of individuals, whether they are candidates or whoever they may be. When you nominate your vice president you can not hold this convention. If you adopt vour platform then you may proceed to close. We have violated the ordinary rules of procedure in tho interest of the sentiment of the entire convention, but let us go no further. Do not let us meet here, a few of us, to pass upon resolutions which must go forth to the people of this country as the maxim3 of democracy applause, and with the same sentiment entertained by the gentlemen who have heretofore opposed adjournment, I say to them as one of their colleagues in the interest of their party and in the interest of the noblest Roman of them all applause, and in the interest of the nominee of this convention and the narty, let us adjourn until to-morrow." Mr. Knglish of California "I believeif a motion is put it will be carried unanimously, and I therefore move that we dispense with the roll call." Mr. Wilson of Missouri "Mr. Chairman I move that we dispenso with the roll call. I think that a motion to adiourn would now be unanimously carried. The Chairman "The chair will carry out the will of the convention in an orderly way, and will not now entertain your motion." A voice, "that is right" The roll-call having proceeded for some time longer, and the chair being utterly unable to preserve order in the hall, by reason of the large numbers of delegates who were leaving it, Mr. Tarpey of California renewed the motion of Mr. Wilson of Missouri in the following form: Mr. Tarpey "In tho interests of. all

gentlemen here present, I move you now, sir, as the temper of this convention has been made apparent, that the further call of the roll be dispensed with, and that tho chair declare this body adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning." The chair put the motion, which was only heard by half a hundred delegates, who voted aye, and he declared the convention adjourned. THE NOMINEE. Outline of the Career of Grover Cleveland From Boyhood to Presidency. Down in the obscure town of Caldwell, Essex county, New Jersey, there stands a little two-6tory and a half white house with wooden shutters, and there in the year 1837, was born Stephen Grover Cleveland. II has only the most shadowy recollections of it, for when he was three years of age his father, who was a presbyterian minister, with a large family and a small salary, moved by wav of the "Hudson river and Erie canal to Fayetteville, in search of an increased income and a larger field of work. Fayetteville was then the most., straggling of country villages about live miles from Pompey Hill, where Gov. Seymour was born. Here the boy Grover Cleveland first went to school in the good, old-fashioned way, and presumably distinguished himself after the manner of all village school boys in doing the things that he ought not to do. One thing appears to be indisputable. He, at the age of fourteen, had outgrown the capacity of the village school and expressed a most emphatic desire to be sent to an academv. To this his father as emphatically objected. Academies in those days cost money. liesidcs, the elder Cleveland wanted the lad to become selfsupporting by the quickest possible road. The quickest possible road in Fayetteville was the country store, where the pastor, with a large family, had considerable influence. Fifty dollars was to be paid the boy the first year, and if he proved trustWorthy, he was to receive U0 the second year. One can easily enough picture the cmploj'ment if one knows what a thriving country store is, its duties ranging, with scarcely time for intermediate soap and water, from dealing out mackerel and molasses to cutting oil cotton print enough for the village belle's new dress. There is a tradition comes from Fayetteville, not at all ill-delined, that young Cleveland in two vears proved himself so trustworthy that

his employers used all their eloquence to get him to stay on indefinitely. The exact significance at this time of the Fayetteville record may be judged when the writer after taking some trouble to unearth it finds it to be a record of simple, unswerving integrity and untiring loyalty to the interests of the boy's employers. Themost painstaking search among two generations fails to discover any flashes of genius in that country store or any memorials of eccentric talent in that country village. But there is unimpeachable testimony that whatever the boy's hand was given to do he did with all his heart, and that he left Ik hind him the reputation for braverv, fidelity and candor that has outlived all these years. It is curious how some simple traits defy time. In truth, they seem to thrive and grow with it. The removal of the elder Cleveland to Clinton gave Grover the long-wished-for opportunity to attend a high school, and he pursued his studies industriously until the family moved up on the Black river to what was then known as the Holland Patent a village of 500 or 000 people fifteen miles north of Utica. The elder Cleveland preached but three Sundays in this place, when he suddenly died. G rover first heard of his father s death while walking with his sister in the streets of Utica. This event produced the usual break-up of the family, and we next hear of Grover Cleveland setting out for NewYork City to accept, at a small salary, the position of under-teacher in an asylum for the blind. He stayed here two year?, and it has been found possible to discover the same indelible record of hard work, faithfully performed and well remembered by those w ho were cognizant of it, and who are still alive. From tending country store to teaching the blind is a long "way on the road of self-discipline. But to teach he did not believe was his mission, and consequently, at the expiration of two years, he abandoned it and literally started out to seek his fortune only reversing the usual order, and instead of coming to the great city, he left it. His first idea was to go to Cleveland. As he has since said, the name seemed a good omen. But his uncle Lewis F. Allan, a noted stock breeder, lived at Bullalo, and he went Straight to him for advice and guidance. The uncle did not speak enthusiastically. "What is it you want to do, my boy," he asked. 'Well, sir, I want to study law." "Good gracious!" remarked the old gentleman. "Do you, indeed?" Whatever put that into your head? How much money have you got?" To tell the truth, he hadn't got any. "See here," said the uncle, after a long consultation, "I want somebody to get up my herd-book this year. You come and 6tay with me and help me, and I'll give you $50 for the year's work, and you can look round." Here it is that we find the American boy now annotating short-horns out at Black Kock, quite two miles from Bufialo. But he kept, his eye out for a chance to enter a law office while he was editing the stock book, and one day he walked boldly into the rooms of Messrs. Hogers, Bowen fc liogers and told them what he wanted. There were a number of young men in the place already. But young Cleveland's persistency won, and he was finally permitted to come as an office loy and have the use of the law library. For this he received the nominal sum of $3 or $4 a week, out of which he had to pay his board and washing. Tho walk to and from his uncle's was a long and at that time a rugged one. The first winter was a memorably severe one, and his shoes were broken and he had no overcoat. But he never intermitted a day. It began to be noticed that he was tho "most punctual and regular of the lads in the cilice. Often at night he was compelled to stand by the warm chimney in the loft where he" slept and dry his feet after tramping the two miles through the snow. His senior employer had taken a copy of Blackstone on the first day of the boys' office cxiK'rienco and, planting it before him with a bang that made the dust fly, said: "That's where thev all begin"" There was a titter ran round the little circle of clerks, for it was a foreboding thing to begin with to tho average lad. It appears, however, that he stuck to the Blackstone so well that ho mastered it, and so absorbed was he in it one night that they locked him in ami all went otf. lie spent that night with the book and never forgot it. Grover Cleveland's election on a democratic and reform ticket in 1881 suddenly lifted him from local into national prominence. The incidents of that election and subsequent administration are familiar. The election itself was an almost unparalleled triumph, seeing that it was secured by the largest majority ever known, thus demonstrating the unbounded confidence which the people had in the special fitness of their candidate to carry out the reform and, in his unassailable integrity. It was strictly truo that Mayor Cleveland was g wept into office on one of those tidal waves of popular protest against ring rule that are as resistless as they are sudden. Biit it was after all a local contest, and one has yet to account for the national irrliortance which the Buffalo election assumed and the wide-spread interest that was felt in tho ncrr" chaiajdon. There

is onlv one way in which to explain this. Mr. Cieveland'had not yet attracted attention outside of his metropolitan field. But there was one issue that in a sense was the issue of tho hour everywhere, and that was whether it was any longer possible to secure by a popular election that kind of integrity and sagacity that would administer the people's affairs with the honesty and discretion that were necessary to good government. The Buffalo canvass for the mayoralty defined that issue in the sharpest manner. The nomination of Grover Cleveland was avowedly and defiantly the gage of battle thrown down by reform. There were only two points to be determined did the people want reform? That is, did they wish their business conducted honestly, and would the man they had selected for the experiment so conduct it? So vitally important were these two questions that vaster and intenser themes were for tho moment torgotten by the country, and it turned aside momentarily to watch, this contest in Buffalo. The people answered one question and Grover Cleveland answered the other The reply in one esse was with votes, in the other with acts. It would appear that the Diogenes of American politics, worn out with his long hunt, was disposed to lay aside his lantern after the Buffalo election. Whatever else may have been searched for, it is pretty well settled that he had found an honest man, and, what is of more consequence, the honest man was brave enough to carry his private convictions into his public duties, with no regard to partisanship on the one hand or the influence and threats of political scoundrels on the ether. There was no uncertain sound in his inaugural message. It rang clear and simple. "We hold," said he, "the money of the people in our hands, to be used for their purposes and to further the interests as members of the municipality, and it is quite apparent that, when any part of the funds which the taxpayers have thus intrusted us are diverted to other purposes, or when, by design or neglect, we allow a greater 6um to be applied to any municipal purpose than is necessary, we have to that extent, violated our duty. There surely is no difference in hi3 duties and obligations, whether a person is intrusted with the money of one man or many; And j-et it sometimes appears as though the office-holder azurnes that a different rule of fidelity prevails betwe en him and the taxpayers than that which should regulate his conduct when, as an individual, he holds the money of his neighbor." .'' ; This was going I ack tQ first principles and when it came toyetöing an iniquitous street-cleauing contract, it was with a

vengeance It is quite plain "at this time that the official conduct cf. Mr. Cleveland that is to say, his fidelity hi the pledges made, his uncompromising -.warfare on dishonesty and his sagacity In 'the management of his official truit, bnmßht him prominently before the peleOf the 6tate as a candidate for goyernot; ' it is impossible to find any other!, rnoiife for his nomination than "that Iiis courageous and inteligent reform had madebim for the moment the most popular man in the 6tate. From one end of the land to the other praises of his condifct were repeated and the press of both political parties commended him as a lit executive of the state. Among them the New York Sun was conspicuous for its warm eulogiums. Among other things it said editorially: "Grover Cleveland, the democratic candidate for governor of New York,' is a man worthy of the highest public confidence. 2vo one can study the record of Iiis career since he has held ollice in Buffalo without being convinced that he possesses those highest qualities of a public man, sound principles of administrative duty, luminous intelligence and courage to do what is right no matter who may be pleased or displeased thereby.", "We wish," said the Sun, "that his utterances might bö rend und pondered by every citizen. No' matter what political faii'i a man may hive' bfen educated in, no matter by what jWiy name he may now prefer to bo culleuj, jo one can consider such principles and sentiments as these declared by Mr. Cleveland without feeling that euch" a public officer is worthy of the confidence and mit.. ort of the w hole people, and that the interests of the state will be entirely safe in his1, hands." The election ofCroyerjlevelaml as governor is part of , tho . political history of New York. The irnormoas vote cast and the overwhelming 'HHjority received were indicative of the interest' "felt in a reform candidate. The governor's of)Tcja)l acts after his election were widely dit'ivu-ssvd. But no one impugned his honesty er sincerity. . The national democratic convention met at Chicago July1 1SS4. Three days were devoted to organization, platform and speeches in fa vor of candidates. In the evening of July 10 a vote was taken in which, out of 820 votes. Mr. Cleveland received 31)2. A two-third vote (5Ö7) was necessary to a nomination. On the following morning on the first ballot Cleveland received 083 votes, and on motion of Thomas A. Hendricks (subsequently nominated for the vice-presidency on the ticket with Mr. Cleveland the vote was made unanimous. He was officially notified of his nomination at Albany, July LMJ. At the election in November, 1884, Mr. Cleveland had a majority of 37 electoral votes over his competitor, James G. Blaine. One who has studied his character says of him: "Grover Cleveland, both iu his record and in his person, impressed me as peculiarly the outcome and result of what is best and most enduring in American life. As we have already seen, he started like the typical American boy to hew his own way. The almost insuperable difficulties of his youth, the hardships of poverty, the Jiangs of hunger, the frosts of winter never deterred him. They were in fact, as they always are to the truo mortal, only tho blows that compacted and shaped the man. We hear a great deal nowadays about men being all American. Obviously. there are some American things which a man had better be without. It is not pleasant to contemplate a man whoso character reflects the heterogeneous and discordant elements of our complex life. Now is it safe to trust with heavy responsibilities that man whose chief element of Americanism is impatience of restraint, disrespect for the pat, and an unswerving desire to be smart rather than right? The best elements of our American life have always come up from the hardy, vigorous stratum that was nearest to the 6oil and in some way depended on it. The abiding glory of the country has been in its defiant boys with God-learing ancestors; boys who had organized in them by a race of humble but devout pioneers the patience and industry to achieve and the reference to respect. It is to men of this fiber that the republic has always gone in its emergencies turning in its extremity from its politicians, its doctrinaires and its workers of statecraft back to the elemental, vital, honest forces that underlie all its achievements and that are oftenest tound in the sturdy, modest, indomitable workers who have not sought the political race." The same authority continues: "The moment he found that I did not want to ask him about the future, and was quite content to listen to the past, lie talked freely and familiarly. There was nothing in his humble origin and struggling career that he was ashamed of. I fancied that he was rather proud of his early struggles. And it was not impossible in an hour's conversation to make some kind of measurmcnt of the man's mind and character. I said to myself, this is the executive, not the reflective mau. I don't suppose ho is ever per

plexed with questions of ethics. uch men have a steady poise of judgment that saves a world of words. The right pathway is never obscured or hidden. With them iho doctrinaire has a hard time of it, for instead of chasing a principle through all the mazes of possibilities for the sake of the hunt, they hold the dogs of dialectics in leash and, with unerring clear sight and constant good nature, whip them all back to the true scent. I was always struck with a single sentence in the. second volume of Carlisle's "French Revolution," which, after these two volumes of bloody chaos, announced the arrival of Napoleon. The purport of the sentence, as I now recall it, is that 'a man having now come upon the scene events began to straighten themselves out.' And I suppose that whenever events become chaotic and life gets into confusion that it is absolutely necessary to have a man at the helm. And history shows that it is the executive man. equipped with convictions and endowed with courage who assumes the chieftainship in moments of public doubt. Distracted on everything else, the people are willing to rest their issues on indubitable strength of character, capable of both representing and of leading. He may not bring any new truth with him or a more brilliant method, but the trust is that he will with clear eye, pure heart and strong hands keep the columns in close order along the approved path of safety and advance." With the possible exception of Lincoln no president was ever confronted 'with such an array of obstacles as was Grover Cleveland when be took the executive chnir. A large minority of his party had accepted him as the party's leader with anything but good grace. The senate was controlled by the opposition; the house had a democratic majority, a portion and a considerable portion at that of which was not in sympathy with the views of the president. "The "machine" of his party demanded the immediate surrender to it of all the federal offices. Meeting this situation the president was slow and careful in his movements. Many of his appointees, cabinet and otherwise, were comparatively unknown. A great clamor arose in the democratic party. But Cleveland knew he was right "and pursued the even tenor of his way, his temper apparently unruffled by the turmoil about him. Time justified the wisdom of his appointments. Slowly but surely the civil service was reconstructed the" welfare of the service and the demcratic party being constantly kept in mind. No public or party interest was in any degree sacrificed. Then came tho crucial test on pension legislation. Hoping to gain a political point the republicans passed all manner of pension bills. Mr. Cleveland signed the meritorious and vetoed the meretricious. The pension agents and their republican allies were furious. The people discussed the situation and approved the president's course. In tho matter of public building bills Mr. Cleveland was equally just and impartial, kiliing jobs with tho veto, whether indorsed by republican or democrat. For years democratic platforms had denounced the administration of the land office. Mr. Cleveland's attention was early turned to the correction of the abuses and injustices in this bureau, with the result that up to the present time the democratic administration has restored to the public domain 40,000,000 of acres wrongfully withheld from home-seekers by railroad and other corporations. The land sharks, the railroad attorneys and their horde of followers raised a tremendous howl? but to no avail. The tariff question and the accumulating surplus called for prompt and decisive legislation. President Cleveland made these topics the sole text of his last annual message with the result that the issue is now clearly defined the democrats standing for a reform of the tariff and the republicans for a continuance of war taxation in the interest of monopoly. In minor matters which might be cited almost without number the president has shown himself not only an astute politician, but a practical statesman. His administration ha.- been without a blunder and time has demonstrated the righteousness of all its acts. He stands to-day endorsed not alone by his own party, but by tho history of his time. " THE PLATFORM SUITS.

St. Louis, Juno G.The St. Louis Repidic will publish the following doubleleaded editorial in the morning: Tli (5 democratic party and the country at large are to be congratulated upon the fact that the committee on platform and resolutions has reached an agreement which is satisfactory to both the elements or factions represented iu the committee, and that a report will be submitted by Mr. Watterson this morning that is likely to be adopted by the convention without a dissenting voice. Senator Gorman and his friends have carried their potnt in having the platform of 1SS4 reaffirmed, and the tariff reformers have obtained all they wanted in securing an authoritative assertion that that platform is no lonjerto be regarded as a straddle, but is correctly interpreted by President Cleveland's message prodouncing squarely and unequivocally in favor of a reduction of taxation through a reduction of the tariff duties. It is understood that both tides are contented with the concessions made, though it looks very much ns thou eh the tariff reformers had carried the day. Of course none of them entertained any desire to discredit the platform of 1834, or felt any real reluctancy to reaffirm its statement of the democratic doctrine. The only dissatisfaction that they have at any tin: felt with it was that it was pusceptil.de of being interpreted in a protection sense, and ns a matter of fact was claimed by the protectionist democrats nsa protectionist document. To reaffirm it in the sense placed upon it by President Cleveland's message is equivalent to repudiating all that portion of it that could be looked upon as a strddle, and is tantamount to accepting Presdent Cleveland's message as the platform of the democratic party. And this is as it should be. It is the logical sequence of the unanimous nomination of Mr. Cleveland yesterday. The eternal fitness of things demanded that if President Cleveland was ncrain to be the nominee of his party, he should be placed fairly and squarely upon the declaration of the principles upon which more than six months ago he staked the issues of his renouiimttion and re-eleetion. Again we say the committee, the party and the country are to be i-uncrrntulated. For the first time in upward of fully years the issue of a tariff for revenue asrainst a tariff for protection is plainly presented without any verbiage that can properly be regarded sxh a straddle or a dodge. It is fortunate tbat this consummation, most devoutly to be wished, ha3 been reached without an unseemly wrangle in the convention. The opponents of reform deserve the thanks of the people for yielding gradually to the people's will. ryroteclinlc at St. touts. St. Louis, Mo., June G. A pyrotechnical exhibition, remarkable for splendor and brilliancy, was given to-niht in market square, as a fitting celebration of President Cleveland's renomination. In the way of a street eight, the display was scarcely surpassed by the great illumination and parade of last night. Over 50,000 people vero jammed into tho square, chiefly local repidents 'and visitors who liad been unable to obtain a feep at the convention. They ound ample consolation in the fiery phenomena shown for their special benefit. For hours tho streets in all directions leading into the huge square were, as well as the square itself, absolutely impassable. Continued on Fourth l'ag. Dmri iriRD clixin
