President Grover Cleveland. 1893 President Cleveland's nomination has been a foregone conclusion for many months. It was k clearly the logic of the situation that nothing lmt his death or positive refusal to be a candidate could have prevented it. The action of the convention was merely the official expression of the unanimous democratic sentiment of the country, as it had been manifested in the selection of delegates and through all the various channels by which the people's w ill makes itself known in a free country. Few nominees for the presidency in our history have entered a canvass with greater prestivre, a stronger title to the confidence of the country, or a better assurance of sue cos. C'h.-eu to the presidency four years ago, a new and comparatively untried man, and without experience in national politics, be has abundantly vindicated the w i sdom of the people in chooinjr him vcr one who had been a conspicuous fjure in jmMie aflairs lor a quarter of a century. He has tilled Iiis high othce with ability, dignity and absolute integrity. He has given the country A wise, honest, clean, conservative and statesmanlike administration. He has held the rudder of the nhip of state with a rm, steady hand, lie lias grappled with intricate and difficult problems of govern ment and finance, and has solved them with the masterful ease of attained statesman and the ready skill of an e.ert it. economic science. He has displayed a thorough and intimate knowledge of the structure of our government, a firm grasj upon the principles of constitutional democracy, and in general an aptitude for statecraft and a capacity for administration, which have challenged the admiration of the world. He lias von jopular respect by his industry, his courage and his fidelity to the loftiest ideals of public duty. lli slate paper.have ranked with the ablest that evet emanated from the executive mansion. He has introduced reforms into every department of the government. He has, in his every official word and act, placed tht public coM above considerations 01 partisan advantage or personal benefit. He has set his face firmly against corporate, encroachments upon the rights of tht people; has been the watchful guardian of the public treasury and the remorseUs.-f-e of jobbery, corruption, extravagance and legislative profligacy; and hr.s elevated, by example and precept, the standaid of official morality. Ina word he has made not only a good but a great president, and the record of hi"? first administration will fill one of the brightest pages in the nation's history. Of course with this record his renomination was inevitable, and his re-election is a certain as any event in the future well can be. i rover Cleveland is not an accident. His elevation to tho presidency was not, ai fcomo envious purtisans have claimed, the result of a jK-euliar and unaccountable sequence of "lucky" circumstances, but the logic of destiny. Kind Nature gave iim a clear title to the distinction in his splendid equipment of brains, will power and moral courage. lie U a lorn leader cf men, and when the hour of his destiny Bruck he s,tep'iel calmly to the front and assumed the station which befitted him. lllght royally has ho vindicated his right to a seat among the world's great. "With a character so high, a record so clean and a popularity so great, and identified as he is with an issuo which nppeul.s so strongly to the intelligence, conscience and patriotism of the American people as ) that of tariff reform, it ii hardly within tho bounds of possibility that (Jkoveii Ci.iveland should not lo triumphantly reelected president of theso United Stater, next November. For Vice-President, Allen . Thtirman. Never ' wan an honor more worthily t'estowed. The name of Ali en (i. Tummy in a synonym for all that is wine and great in statesmanship, pure and upright in public life, and a:niab!o and lovublo in personal character. A man of grand intellect, of rugged integrity, of unflinchim,' courage, and of genuine patriotism, he fulfills tho loftiest Ideal of American manhood and citizenship. His public record U without a blemish, his private life without a stain. lie is the exponent of all the Vst tendencies in our jtoliticM. Ho liiu been an Juiplucablo foo of corporate rapacity, and the magnificent work ho oid in U! V. K senate in originating and carrying through, over tho opposition of Jat Oould and his tools in that liody, tho Pacific railroad funding bill, Is gratefully remembered by the American cople, and especially by those on the Pacific slope. 3Ie has always antagonized corruption, jobbery and monopoly iu every fvrui,

and no American statesman has, or deserves a warmer place in the hearts of the toilers of the land. He is a democrat of democrats, thoroughly identified with the traditional principles of the party, and in full sympathy with its purposes and aspirations. His name on the ticket will be a tower of strength in the great campaign that it now upon us. It will appeal with a force which, perhaps, none other could, to the pride and the patriotism of the "old line" democrats of the country. It will arouse a perfect whirlwind of enthusiasm all over the land. Indiana had a candidate of her own whoso defeat is sincerely regretted. But it is no discredit to be beaten in a democratic convention by Allen G. Tucrman, and the Indiana democracy have the satisfaction of knowing that if their candidate was defeated it was not by an unworthy man, but by one whose deserved pre-eminence iu his party none will more readily concede than Isaac P. Gray. There is certainly no man in the country, outside of Indiana, who is more popular with the democrats of this state. They reverence him and love him, and will give him their hearty and cheerful support. Indiana's fifteen electoral votes may be safely set down for Cleveland and Thceman.

Giving the Protection "Snap" Away. A "confidential circular" has just been is sued from the hcadqnarters'of the "Hepublican league of the United States" which makes "very interesting reading." It is addressed to "My Dear Sir," and has been mailed to rich republicans all over the country. It tells "My Dear Sir" that protection is in grave peril, and declares that it can only be saved by liberal expenditures of money during the approaching campaign. Unless boodle is freely supplied to the g. o. p. by those who are interested in maintaining protection 'hat's the tenor of the circular a free trade president and congress will be elected, and the tariff will go to tho "demnition bow-wows." This is interesting information, and we think it is accurate. Dut even more interesting and suggestive is the declaration ihat tho manufacturers are the ones who derive the most benefits from the tariff, and that they give practically nothing to .-.up port the party which upholds it. The circular quotes approvingly an "indignant senator" (name withheld) as saying that the manufacturers mnke great fortunen out of protection every year when times e.re fairly prosperous, and that if he had hi- M ay he nouM "put them under the lire and fry all the fat out of them." This from the liepublican League of the United States is highly refreshing. In fact it is a giving away of the whole case for protection as prescntod by its advocates in the press and in congress. They are always assuring us that the jn ople who reap the cnetits front the tariff are the workingMen, and that it is maintained for their interest. And here comes the Kcpublican Iagueof the United Statesand declares :hat the manufacturers are the real bone.'Iciaries of the system, and reproaches them lor not devoting a larger share of the vast profits it brings them to tho support of the party w hich upholds it. Of course tlii "confidential circular" was not intended for the public eye. Hut we think the democrats might use it as a campaign document with good effect. If the workingmen of the country could all r"ad it, there wouldn't be many of them i vote for protection next November. The Tariff Plank. The democratic platform voices theconictions of the democratic mases of the country upon the supreme issue of the hour in clear and unmistakable language. ! J-;'fli rming the tariff declaration of 1SS4, it puts the construction upon it which it was orginally iutended to bear, and the .inly construction which common sense will admit of. The president's message is unequivocally indorsed, and the course of tho democrat-? in congress (this does not include Sam IUno.u.i.) is "upheld and appro vcd." The most ardent tariff reformer could not have asked of the convention a more clear, explicit or emphatic definition of the principles and policy of the party. The pint form w ill meet with special favor in thu Western states, and it will be vastly more popular everywhere than if its language npon the tariff issue had been evasive and equivocal. The demonstrations that attended Mr. ( i.k ci.an d's renomination will probably reassure Mr. Pi. aims that he was altogether w ise and prudent in declining in advance the republican nomination for tho presidency. Ik tho republicans have been counting upon democratic blunders for a fighting chance thi.s year, they have reckoned w ithout their host. Tho democrats seem to have forgotten how to blunder. The republicans will have no Schills for Indiana this year. It will require every cent they can squeeze from tho protection barons, the trusts, the railroad monopolies and Jay Gould to save Ohio. Tit KitK is no democrat in America, outside of Indiana, not excepting tho president himself, who has moro friends and admirers in this state than Allen (J. Til I" KM AN. The objection that Mr. Tjiurman is too big a man for tho vice presidency is not a serious one. In fact, we think the country w ill be inclined to ignore it.

CLEVELAND'S CONVENTION. Continued From Third Tage. THE PLATFORM. The democratic party of the United States in national convention assembled, renews the pledge of its fidelity to democratic faith and reaffirms the platform adopted by its representatives in the convention ot 1S84 and endorses the views expressed by President Cleveland in his last earnest message to congress as the correct interpretation of that platform upon the question of tariff" reduction; and also endorses the cflorts of our democratic representatives in congress to secure a reduction of excessive taxation. Chief among its principles of party faitli are the maintaining of the indissoluble union of free and indestructible states, now about to enter upon its second century oi unexampled progress and renown; devotion to a plan of government regulated by a written constitution strictly specifying every granted power and expressly reserving to the ttates or people, the entire ungrantcd residue of power; the encouragement of a jealous popular vigilance, directed toward all who have been chosen for brief terms to enact and execute laws and are charged with the duty of preserving peace, insuriug equality and establishing justice. The democratic party welcome an exacting scrutiny of the administration of the executive power, which four years ago was committed to its trust in the election of Grover Cleveland president of the United States, and it challcntres the most searching inquiry concerning its fidelity and devotion to the pledges which then invited the suffrages of the people. During a most critical period of our financial a flairs, resulting from over taxation.the anomalous condition of our currency; and a public debt unmatured, it has by the adoption of a wise and conservative course not only arrested a disaster but greatly promoted the prosperity of the people. It has reversed the improvident and unwise policy of the republican party touching the public" domain, and has reclaimed from corporations and syndicates, alien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly one hundred millions of acres of valuable land to be sacredly held as homesteads for our citizens. While carefully guarding the principles of justice and equity, it has paid out more for pensions and bounties to the soldiers and sailors of the republic than was ever paid before during an equal period. It has adopted and persistently pursued a firm and prudent foreign policy, preserving peace with all nations, while scrupulously maintaining all the rights and interests of our own government and people at home and abroad. The exclusion from our shore of Chinese laborers has been effectually seenred under the provision of a treaty, the operation of which has been postponed by the action of a republican majority in the senate. Honest reform in the civil service has been inaugtiratcd and maintained by President Cleveland and he has brought the public service to th highest Mandant of efficiency, not only by rule and precept, but by the example of his own untiring and unselfish administration of public affairs. In every branch and department of the government under democratic control, the rights and the welfare of all the people have been guarded and defended; every iublie interest has been protected, and the equality of all our citizens before the kw, without regard to race or color, has been steadfastly maiutrined. Upon its record thus exhibited, and upon the picture oi a continuance to the people of Its bcuetits, the democracy invokes a renewal of popular trust by the re-election of a chief magistrate who has been faithful, aide and prudent. They invoke an addition to the trust by the transfer al.o to the democracy of the entire legislative power. The republican party controlling the senate and resisting in both houses of congress a reformation of unjust and unequal tax laws, which have outlasted the necessities of war and are now undermining the abundance of a long pence, deny to the people equality before the law and the fairness and the justice which are their right. Then the cry of America n labor for a better share in the rewards of industry is stifled w ith false pretenses; enterprise is fettered and bound down to home markets; capital in discouraged with doubt, and unequal and unjust laws can neither be properly amended nor repealed. The democratic party will continue, with all the power eontided to it, to strucrgle to reform these laws in accordance with the pledges of its last platform, indorsed at the ballot-box by the suffrages of the people. Of all the industrious freemen of our land, the immense majority, including every tiller . of the soil, gain no advantage from excessive tax laws, but the price of nearly everything they buy is increased by the favoritism of an unequal system of taxation. It is repugnant to the ereed of democracy that by such taxation the cost of the necessaries of life arc unjustifiably increased to all our people. Judged by democratic principles, the interests of the people are betrayed when, by unnecessary taxation, trusts and combinations are permitted to exist, which, while unduly enriching the few that combine, rol the body of our citizens by depriving them of the benefits of natural competition. Kvery democratic rule of governmental action is violated when, through unnecessary taxation, a vast sum of money, far beyond the needs of an economical administration, is drawn from the people and the channels of trade, and accumulated as a demoralizing surplus in the national treasury. The money now lying idle in the federal" treasury, resulting from superfluous taxation, amounts to more than $li;.,0(JO,000, and the surplus collected is reaching the sum of more thnn XH,no,OfiO annually. Debauched by this immense temptation, the remedy of the republican party is to meet und exhaust by extravagant appropriations and expenses, whether constitutional or not, the accumulation of extravagant taxation. The democratic policy is to enforce frugality in public expense and abolish unnecessary taxation. Our established domestic industries nnd enterprises should not and neeil not be endangered by the reduction and correction of the burdens of taxation. On the contrary, a fair and careful revision of our tax laws, with due allowance for the difference between wages and foreign labor must promote and encourage every branch of such industries and enterprises, by giving them assurance of an extended market and steady and continuous operation. In the interests of American labor, which thoutd iu no event be neglected, the revision of our tax laws contemplated by the democratic party should promote the advantage of such labor, by cheapening the cost of the necessaries of lite iu the home of every workingman, and at the same time securing to him steady ami remunerative employment. Upon this question of tariff reform so closely concerning every phase of our national lifo, nnd upon every question Involved in the problem of good government, the democratic party Hihtuit it principles and professions to the intelligent eutl'iage of the American people. A DELIBERATIVE BODY.

Tliurman'a Nomination Ith Krault of Rettled Convictions Th Day In Ietall. Sr. Iiocts, June 7. Contrary to all exudation, the spirit of tho democratic national convention to-day, in nominating for vice-president Allen (5. Thurman, was deliberative, not sentimental. It was not until after hours of earnest debato and until on a formal ballot the representatives of three out of the four pivotal states Connecticut, New Jersey ami New York had firmly und calmly put themselves on record as lielieving the Old Iloman tho strongest man in the party where strength was most needed, that tho convention threw itself into (belong predicted ecstacy of enthusiasm, and up to that moment tho isMio had loen doubtful. For the first dav since the ojioning of the convention the galleries were not unanimous for Thurman. Supporters of Gray were Iwjhbing up everywhere, and huge streamers of his colors wero dangling from every railing. The renewal of tho boom for (J ray iuspired new life in tho supporters of Gen. Mack and in tho SHech-mKkin2 wliich followed, the Thurman orators with (heir long, set speeches, wero in painful contract with their opjonent, whoso bright, impromptu savings were exactly lifted to the moment. The labored effort of Tarpey. the Californiun, Thurman's chief sMikesman, excellent at another time, led off the list in this unfortunate resjH-ct. Instead of tho tumultuous unanimous audience be had w ith good reason counted ujon, the big Westerner had to face a lively opjMsition among the spectators and a frame of mind among the delegates that seemed nearly as could bo purely judicial. To make mutters worso, came a ringing speech for P.Jack, right at this juncture, from Patterson of Colorado, one of the readiest and most captivating six akers in the convention, Voorhcca of Indiana

fiercely followed up the advantage gained, turning it all to Gov. Gray. Then Kentucky with telling force seconded the nomination of the man from Indiana. Bets were offered at even terms bv on lookers that Thurman would be killel off by the opposition and never be the nominee of the party. The Thurman delegates were now alive to the danger and showed their alarm by sending to the platlorm such orators as Raines of New York and Daniel of Virginia. They stemmed the tide as best they could, but it was not until the balloting was far under way and New York had cast her vote (72) solid for Thurman that there was a change of front in the convention as a w hole. The general understanding had been that New York would hold back until all the other states hael voted. It was the turn of the opposition to be taken aback. Pennsylvania nowswung into line solidly with sixty Thurman votes. The lanelslide began in a jiffy. The nomination was literally made by acclamation, the vote of the states being announceei after the extraorelinary waving of banners and bandanas had ceased from exhaustion and the people were too hoarse to cheer. Mr. Watterson, who was standing beside the chairman, said : "Mr. Chairman, I have the honor to report the resolutions agreed upon uananiinously cheers by the platform committee." The Chairman "The resolutions will be read by the clerk of the convention. Gentlemen, now please give your perfect attention.'' The clerk then read the platform, as above. Upon the completion of the reading of the platform the Hon. Henry Watterson, who had taken such a conspicuous action in its construction, arose on the platform to speak in its support. He was greeted with round after round of applause from the delegates on the floor and the spectators in the galleries. W hen the gavel of the chairman had at last brought the convention to order. Mr. Watterson said : Mr. Chairman and Fellow Democrats We bring to you a platform upon which democrats may stand without feeling that they are away from home. Laughter and applause. 1 It embraces a declaration of principles to w hich democrats may subscribe without looking around the comer. Laughter and cheers. It involves a statement of facts incontrovertible. Cheers. It delocalizcs the cause of reform and gives to it a language which may be spoken alike in New Jersey and Iowa, cheers and cries of "pood, good." in Massachusetts and iu Texas. Itenewed cheering. Its face is set in the right direction, and it eyes look upon the rising, not the setting sun. f Loud outbursts of applause. CJentlcnien, the language of agitation is one thing apfcLtuse; the hand of construction is another r.thing. Applause. Thanks to (jrover Cleveland cheers the attention of the country, vf'oed by others so long in vain, is fixed ut last lories,- of "s;nod, cood" upon a remedy of real mstead of the imaginary

evils arising out ot a state oi war; and henceforward the democrat ie'jar"ty, which has been the voica, will become. She tiaiei of the people. But its hands will bejtjie hands of the builder, not the deslrccfwyand it will remove the ocenpauts before itjyiki s the' roof off the house. Greatapplause.fi Fellow-democrat, Ibid you" be of good cheer touching the furW'Irtf tRe party and the country. Democracy at theHEast is one with itself, aud although." ir may. sometimes contend among ourselves; or jrontests bhall be, those of the Romans i old, f; only resulting in more Romans. Great; cheers. It is now the time for the repubJiearjto tnow what it is to have only half the eotiTirryaud no leader at all. Cheers. GeMtleiheni' two democrats can only understand oae aiirtthf r thoroughly, and love oqe another entirely when they have had some fun together laugritw and cheers, and this w ill be sufficient reason, if any reason w ere needed, why I should .present you Senator Gorman of Maryland. r, The Chairman '"Gentlemen, I present to you Mr. Gorman." Loud cheers. Senator Gorman said: " Mr. President, gentlemen of the convention and democrats ail l.wold be out of place were I found elsewhere than in a democratic convention, cries "good" and applause standing upon the democratic r principles us written by Jefferson and now being enforced by the democratic party under; the lead of Grover Cleveland. Cheers and cries of "louder. Senator Oorman "Well, that is impossible." Four years ago at Chicago the democratic party restated its declaration of principles, promising if intrusted with' power that sectionalism should be wiped out forever; that the finances of our goverameiitshould be so controlled and its tariff dircctcd, not to impair the brilliant industries: .of tif. land, but that extravagant expenditures slto ujd be reduced until we would have a government economically administered; that w aV taxc j'laeed upon us by the republican tlarry',' should be reduced according to the vcqiMivment of the government, hut that irt that reduction the capital invested in entei,ri-Ji and the labor employed At thiiptfiut the remarks of Senator Gorman were iatermplcd by great confufcion in the rear parti of tlic hall, en used by the influx of a large number of people who bad gained admission to the hall and were taking possession of the mtniber'öf vacant seats which bad been occupied by the alternates during the early days ot the-wjssiin. Considerable excitement prevailed, , lprf tthe moment under the impression that, v disturbance was being created by some parties in the hall, but the situation w as soon understood and appreciated, and the hand struck ' up "Hail Columbia," ot the conclusion of which quiet was restored nnd .Senator Gorman resnmed his remarks.l Upon the declaration of principles thus made at Chicago we went In fore the peope and the result was the election of Grover Cleveland. Applause. In the matter of the reduction of taxation he has been thus honest and earnest, and w ith a desire to carry out to the letter the promises of his party; and when he declared that we were now to lace the fact of the reduction of taxation and wipe out this hundred millions of surplus, it was no longer a question, nor could it be controlled by t lap-trap phrases of the opposition, charging ua with free trade or protection either, but that we flood as honest men, as honest reformers, to reduce this immense taxation of one hundred millions per annum. Diner as you will about the phra-es. wo have presented a platform in strict nceordaneo with all the democratic declarations that have preceded us. As Mr. Watterson has well said, it Is a platform upon which every democrat iu this broad land can stand. Applause. And if in the discussion of the great questions where local interests play so sharp a part there is during the campaign and during future campaigns tome difference, there will be the same spirit of toleration. We will hold every democrat to the rardiiud principles of the pHrty, but we we will give him liberty of conscience aud action on non-essentials. 1 say with mich a declaration and su h a candidate we will go forth to battle against a party w hu h is yet well organized, holding the vantage of position, o( criticising without making themselves responsible for any particular measure. We will not underrate them, but I snytoyott, with an opportunity that I had of communication with our fellow-democrats in every slate of the Cnioii, comparing it with the ureal contest we had in 1M1, wti arc better oreanicd, more united nnd 1 think more certain of victory. Applause Mr. Watterson, of Kentucky "Mr. Chairman, I now move the adoption of the report of tie: platform committee, und on that motion call the previous quest ion." The Chairman "The gentleman from Kentucky demands tho previous question upon the adoption d these reports. The question is, shall the main question ho now put? Gentlemen In favor say aye; reutle'ucn opposed say no. The ayes wive it. Tho question is upon tho adoption of the resolutions, (icntlemen m favor of the adoption will say aye. Those opposed say no. The ayes have it unarniously." ftircat cheering. Mr. OT.ricn of Minnesota here made violent efforts to attract the attention of the chair, calling ut tho top of his voice, "Mr. Cbairmun." The only notice given him was the following, dcliveud by the chair in n loud tone ot voice: "There is nothing in order now except to proceed to nominate for the office of vice-president." Mr. White of California "I move that the roll ot slates be called, and that each state, as its name is called, suggests its choice." The motion was carried unanimously, and tho clerk proceeded with the call of the fetat -a. There waa no response from

Alabama or Arkansas. When California was called Mr. Tarpey of that state stepped forw ard on the platform andaddressed the convention as follows: This is indeed a most pleasant duty, which through the kindness of my frienels, I have been chosen to perform, and I am truly grateful to my associates w ho have so honored me. I fear that it was kindness alone and notability that prompted my selection from among the many eloquent gentlemen who are members of the California delegation. But, sirs, what I lack in oratorical ability I in some small measure compensate for in my enthusiasm in the undertaking, and feeling as 1 do that the most eloquent must fall short of doing full justice, trust with the mental reservation that if nothing else, I am at least earnest in w hat I say and filled w ith admiration for him of whom! speak. That I am proud of the privilege of addressing you I acknowledge, but that! am prouder still of the man whom I shall name I will not deny, for I feel, sirs, that this republic holds no superior to the IIou. Allen G. Thurman of Ohio. The greeting accorded his name is a well-deserved tribute. Its spontaniety has been nobly earned. Be assured such a greeting wiil be accorded his name at its every mention throughout this republic from 6ea to sea and from the British line to the gulf. Allen i i.Thurmnn what an epitome of American civ il history is embodied in that name. His character and ability are known to every man, woman and child in the land. His public services will be a more enduring monument than temples of stone or brass, for history will inscribe his name among the list of America's illustrious sons. Taking his scat in the U. S. senate in lStJOthe imprint of his genius is found deeply imbedded in the legislation of the country. From his first appearance in the senate until his retirement lrom that body his voice was always raised in behalf of the people and in defence of their rights. For forty years he has been a prominent figure in public life, and yet to-day no muu can point to a simile act or expression of his which docs not do him credit. Large at heart, lare of brain, and larcer still in experience, he it the mau of all men w hose record justifies his nomination at vour hands in the sense that he cannot be defeated before the people. A man of benevolent heart, manifesting itself not only in private life, but it has been the leadine feature of his official career. When the .Pacific coast was endeavoring to retnrd Chinese immigration, when it was decided that national legislation w as necessary to accomplish the desired result, when the merits of the subject were not understood east ofthcKocky mountains, Allen G. Thurman, then a senator of the I nited States, was the firt to raise his voice in defense of those whose means of living were in danger and whose homes were threatened with destruction. When the great railroad corporations evidenced an intention to evade payment of their obligation to the government this great man prepared that remarkable enactment known as the Thurman bill, by w hich the offending corporations were obliged to prepare a sinking fund for the redemption of their promises. During the trying times of reconstruction Mr. Thurman was the central figure in the U. f. senate in upholding the dignity and integrity of ihe constitution. The waves of party passion lashed into fury by ill advised, lealous partisans, broke harmless upon his feonine front and settled back into calmness by the force ot his logic ami the power or his oratory. A ripe scholar, his disquisitions upon constitutional law are masterpieces of reasoning and eloquence, challenging the admiration of even his political opponents. Four years since the California delegation put forward Mr. Thurman as their candidate for the presidency and were enthusiastic in pushing his nomination. But four years have but aticrumented their reverene r.nd affection for him. The patriots of California can not be allowed to wither in retirement. His fame is not bis alone; it is the proud heritage of the American people. His name may be most fittingly coupled with that of our honored president, (trover Cleveland. Cleveland a ml Thurman w ill be a ticket absolutely invincible. It will sweep the country with a micrhty rush, a tidal wave of approval. Against it nil opposition will be fruitless. The approval of Cleveland's administration during the past four years and an endorsement of his actions, the simplicity yet remarkable ability with which he has administered his great trust under t lie most trying circumstances, coupled w ith the all-pervading affection felt for the philosopher oi Columbus, will make Cleveland and Thurman a war cry to affright the political enemy. The enthusiasm which w ill be aroused upon its announcement will be infectious and frathering force and volume day by day it will a-fore the ides of November have become epidemic. , That the name of Allen G. Thurman should be cheered to the echo in this hall is not strange, for it brings the warm blood of gratitude surging to the heart of every fireside, and the testimony which the people will surely pay to his worth at the coininq November election will be convincing proof of his phenomenal popularity. Indiana honors Gov. Gray by supporting him for this nomination' Illinois is doing the same for Gen. Black; Michigan for Mr. Dickinson, nnd Wisconsin for Mr. Vilas good men ami true, each and all of them, and were it not for the self-sacrificing patriotism of Mr. Thurman in response to the almost unanimous wish of the party to permit his name to come before you, it were difficult indeed to choose between such meritorious and able gentlemen. Their names arc tit to grace this or any other ticket. They arc each the favorite sons of their respective states, but when Allen (1. Thurman, the favorite son of each and every state in this union, in answer to the universal demand for his acceptance, consents to leave the peace and tranquility of Ids fireside and again serve his grateful countrymen, so prominent, so colossal is his political and mental figure In the public eye. that all others must of necessity shade ia its immensity. liet no mistakes be made at this time. Mistakes are crimes. If you but do your duty, if you but give the people what they expect, what they demand, the contest of parties, instead of just commencing, will be practically ended, for the gnat electoral and popular majorities which Cleveland nnd Thurman will surely receive at the polls v ill be a revelation even to ourselves. As representatives of the democracy of the nation we have a duty to perform. must nominate the man the people have already nominated.

No Irilliiur with great concerns of stale should be tolerated ; no expression of local pride i an be admitted to influence action; when the sovereign people speak they must be obeyed. Broad irrotiud must be taken. Tho man f the nation, not the man of the state, must be nominated. Nominate Allen G. Thurman.

Chairman anh (Ikntlkmnn ok the Convention The historians of F.uropo describe Belgium as the battle-ground iu all the great wars that have transpired between Furopeau nations. I com; from the political battleground of the United States from Ihe stato of Indiana. Cheers and applause. W Idle great vviirs take place in other countries and empires and dynasties are overthrown or re-established, u iu iadiaua questions of xnhjuticr import tro

determined for the whole country by her attitude, either ictory or defeat at presidential elections. Who will inquire how goes the battle in any other but one or two Northern states except in Indiana? You gentlemen in the Fouth with everything in peril, w ill not ask how goes Illinois, on our west, for you know how she w ill go. You will not ask "how goes the battle in Ohio? It is already predetermined what the result wiU be there. Is'or will you ask how the battle rages iu Pennsylvania, except to inquire how great the majority against us will oe? There will be no inquiry made except how is the shock of battle sustained in Indiana and in the state of New York, in the state of New Jersey, and sometimes with an inquiry as to Connecticut. Gentlemen of the convention, we come before you not as mendicants or supplicants, but as representing a power. We ask an honor on this ticket and tender you victory with the other hand. AVe ask a name on this "ticket and we tender you fifteen electoral votes to your college, making the election sure. Bear with me a moment in retrospect of historv. Indiana liecame a state in 181o' and from that hour to this no democratic president has ever been inaugurated exept by her vote. Applause. Indiana has voted for every democrat w ho w as ever sworn into the office from lsiti forward. She voted for Monroe; she voted for Johnson; she voted for Van Buren, for Polk, for Pierce, for Buchanan, for Samuel J. Tilden cheers, who was robbed of the election, and for Grover Cleveland. Cheers. Where is the state whose record overmatches her? Where is the state who comes before this convention with higher right to demand respect and recognition? We will again east that vote, but dismiss from your ruinas now and from this on, until November, the thought or calculation that this year is to be any exception to her history, (trover Cleveland and whoever goes on the ticket with him will be reelected this fall with the vote of Indiana or will not be reelected at all. Applause. Make no mistake?. I know of certain calculations to leave Indiana out. Whatever calculations destroy Indiana destroy every hope and vestige of success. She is interwoven with the situation, and the safety of this hour is for New York and Indiana as of old to clasp hands. Applause. Take New Jersey in our embrace and Connecticut as far as in our power to do so. In those lines lie success. 1 say, Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen of this magnificent convention, that the lines of battle are the same this year that they were in 184. They will not be changed. The trenches in which we will fight are the same. The states where victory is to be obtained, if we succeed at all, are the same. You cannot recast the lines of battle, and the attempt to do so will be fraught with disaster, and the overthrow of our splendid democratic adminstration. A voice, "Oregon." Somebody shouts Oregon. Take warning by Oregon and rely upon Indiana and you will not be deceived. Applause. We present to you a man for this ticket physically and mentally strong, endowed with mental and physical life for years to tome. AVc name a man who has ever proven himself, over and over ai;ain, a winner. He has never been started iu a race that he has not led the field. If you say to me that he came late to the democratic party, I say he came in the year when Doolittlecame.when Trumbull came.w hen John M. Palmer, whom the democrats have nominated for governor of Illinois. Applause. lie came with them. Aud allow me to 6fty to yon that a reeruit into the ranks of the democratic party in Indiana soon becomes a veteran soldier. A recruit could no more ptay raw in the ranks of the democracy of Indiana than a recruit could stay a poor soldier in the racks of the old guard under the hands of the great Napoleon. They become veteranized soldiers. Such battles as we wa.ee in Indiana are happily unknown in other states. You know them not in Massachusetts. You know them not in Oeorpia, or in any of the other states. The majority is so set in the other states one way or the other that the conclusion Is almost foregone; but look at the spectacle which Indiana presents. Four years ago he cast 495,000 votes. She will cast 500,000 votes at the approaching election, and with that enormous vote there is 6imply a plurality between the great parties of six or seven thousand, no majority a bare plurality. Vou can imagine then w hat the shock of battle is hers. You can imagine how important it is for us to have every atom of strength personal and political w hich we can obtain in order to hold our hard-pressed lines. Becruit the critical point of our battlefield, if you are wise. The key to the situation is in Indiana. Strengthen her, you bold, brave men whose judgments are convinced despite the honorable sentiment that is at your hearts. Come to the rescue of the situation on the battlefield where the fight is to be the hottest and the battle is to be won, if won at alL I reflect upon no other name that has been or will be placed before this convention, but I charge every candid mind to answer what electoral vote, what state any other name caD bring to the electoral college except that of Isaac P. Gray. Cheers. We do not put up a man for show or pride, but for hard battle and winning results. You say there are charges made against him at home and elsewhere. Show me a man who has never had charges made against him, and I will show you a worthless, colorless creature, unfit to lead battle anywhere. I know something about charges. But how have these charges, whatever they may be, and they are not worth dignifying, how have they been met? Isaac P. Gray was on the same ticket with Grover Cleveland" and Thomas A. Hendricks, blessed be his memory forever Cheers, and strong as the ticket was in Indiana, a combination of power evoking the enthusiasm aud every heart of our people, yet this man whom we present to you to-day carried the state of Indiana by a majority of SSO more votes than Cleveland and Hendricks carried it for the presidency and the vice-presidency. Applause. He has been tried by a jury of his peers, a jurvof the vicinage, and the verdict has been with him, and it will be with him again. He will be in the ranks fighting whether on your ticket or not, but he is so interwoven with our hopes and our organization this year in Indiana, that his name on the ticket becomes a guaranty of success. I am not here to sny we cannot win without him, but 1 am here to say that if you want to take a bond of fate to re. duce it to an absolute certainty on the fifteen electoral votes of Indiana, before you leave this ball nominate Isaac P. Cray w ith Grover Cleveland and the work will be done. I thank you, gentlemen. 1nid applause. Tho Chairman "The chair will now introduce Albert H. Cox of Georgia." As Mr. Cox stepped forward by (beside of tho chairman he was greeted with warm applause by his friends upon the floor and letran his remarks as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention A union man from Georgia, I arise to second the nomination of Gov. Isaac 1. Gray of Indiana. Cheers. More indeed to the South than to any other section is entrusted the destiny of that glorious army which goes to the country for the indorsement of this administration, and coming from where success or failure means so much, I beg to call to the judgment of the convention the Napoleonic rule of strategy that strength should be masked, as the key to tho battle. Cheers. Where, if you please, will the eyes of America rest upon that fateful day In November? They w ill rest not upon Georgia where It U safe, but upon Indiana where it is dose; and where then if we should nominate the Old Columbiad of Ohio, here then w ill fall bis solid shot and shell? They w ill fall upon the field where tho destruction they mnke will be useless. Great as is his caliber and glorious as his success has been, 1 ask, if you plant the old gun upou a hill in Ohio will it do the work which we need In Indiana? Applause; cries of "No," "no." Tell me who is it that with the organization and with the enthusiasm of Indiana behind his buck may carry on the great battle gloriously hilt to hilt, regiment to regiment and squad to squad. It is Isnac P. (bay, with him in the field, cbeera. at a point where a failure means u lack of that indorsement which if given means democratic success and the administration of tho government for riBny happy nnd prosperous years, and a continuance of fraternal sectional relations. We are interested in that. The success of this party means the destruction of sectionalism and the re-erection in the whole country of that national administration which is guaranteed to the section from which we hail; it means the equality of nil iu this nation and an equality ot slates. Therefore it is with some enthusiasm ami w ith a view of almost certain success w hich awaits the nomination of Isaac x P. Cray that wo ask you to nominate Isaac P. Gray of the suite of Indiana. Cheers.l The secretary then proceeded with tho roll call as follows: "Iowa;" no response. "Kansas;" no resonse. "Kentucky;" Mr. Setttle of Kentucky. The Chairman "Mr. Kvan E. Settle of Kentucky." Mr. Settle said: Mr. i'ii airman and gentlemen ok the Convention 1 atu charged with the pleasing duty on behalf of that great company of unwashed and unten itied democrats laughter and cheers, whom 1 left behind tue In the "i at state of Kentucky of saying to this convention that she heartily Indorses the nomination of CoutluuevToarFif IU l'K' "
