hope confde for that security and repose
which shall send capital and labor forth like
two brothers, hand in hand in the great track
Of building up our country's prosperity and
advancing. her civilization? Who better than
he will re preselt the heart and intellect of orr
great party, OF give better expression to its
highest and noblest aspirations? Who will
draw more largely upon the honest and
rejecting independent voters than he, whose
very name is a synonym for honest and fear
less opposition TO corruption in every form and
everywhere and who throughout the path of
duty with chivalrous devotion that never
counted personal gain or. loss. Who has
contributed more than Mr.. Bayard to
the commanding strength of the
Democratic party of the United States to day.
Blot out him and his influence and who would
not feel and mourn his loss.
Pardon Delaware If she says too-much She
guished and illustrious Democrats whose
names sparkle like stars in her Political firma-
ment. She honors them all, but she knows
her son, and her heart will speak Nomin-
ate him, gentlemen of the convention, and
success is assured. His very name will be a
platform. 1t will fire every Democratic heart
with new zeal and will place sword in the
and power the reckless men who have held
both for four years against the expressed will
of The American people. (Applause.)
DO not tell us that you admire and love
him, but that he is unavailable. Tell the
country, The sneer of Republican enemies is a
lie, and that such man as Thomas Francis
BaYard is not too good man to receive the
highest honors OF the Democratic party. Take
the whole people into your con-
fidence and tell them an honest and
patriotic party is to be led by as pure man as
God ever made; that brave party is to be led
by brave man whose courage will not falter
whatever may be the danger or whatever the
emergency. Tell them that our party has the
courage of its convictions, that craftsmanship,
ability and honesty are to be realities once
more in the government of the United STATES.
and the nomination of Thos. T. Bayard will
fall like a benediction, and will be the passage
of a victory that in November will sweep from
the gulf to the lakes and from ocean to ocean.
(Applause)
VIM. R. MORRISON.
Samuel j. Marshall, of Illinois, presented
the name of VIM. r. Morrison, of Illinois. The
to-day taking in the harvest fields and laboriDg
in their workshops They had not met in con-
vention at Chicago or Cincinnati. Four years
ago the Democratic party, by decisive and
undeniable vote by the Democratic party,
elected a President and Vice President, but a
band OF conspirators and so-called visiting
statesmen falsifed the result, and held up the
hands of that unmitigated lot of scoundrels
known as the returning board, for the sake of
making one President who was not elected.
1t has been frequently remarked my coun-
trymen, that the Democratic party on that oc-
casiOn, and its leaders, were guilty of coward
inai n0ta ho ri0hfo Il
upon them by the action of the great body of
people at the polls. But think this has been
too shoughtlessly and flippantly charged
against the party. They were not guilty of
cowardice. They were guilty of the highest
act OF patriotism known to man on earth.
The masses of the Democratic party knew
that conflict of arms to determine the right
of office of President would result in all proba-
blity in the destruction of all liberty and the
monuments of liberty on this continent
There is, my countrymen, u higher, nobler
courage than that of the battlefield. There is
a courage of patience, a determination in def
ance of public sentiment to see the request
is done IN practical manner under the form
of the constitution. (Cries of time and name
your man and order.)
Gentlemen, pardon me. will get through
within the time, if you will indulge me. was
not aware when came into the stand that time
WAS limited as 1t is, or that was occupying
the time l have. The American people now de-
mand a leader worthy of ourselves-worthy of
the cause in which we are engaged. They de-
mand for that leader in the first place, a man
OF intiexible and aggressive loyalty. man who
is not only honest himself, but VINO will not
permit crime to be perpetrated with impunity
in his presence. They want man of the most
indemItable courage, man of honest convic-
tions, man that will dare to do right under all
circumstances; man who comes from the
people and sympathizes with the people; a
man who is good legislator and good citi-
zen.
Cries of time and name your man.
Now gentlemen, begging your pardon for
transgression upon your time, allow me, with
out further words, by the unanimous voice of
the delegation of Illinois, to present for your
consideration that golden-hearted man and ci :
izen, that gallant and indomitable soldier,
fearless in battle and yet generous and sympa-
thizing in the hour of victory, and upright
statesman--
Loud cries from the gallery of time and great
confusion, during which delegate asked the
chairman to instruct the sergeant-at-arms to
clear the building of all persons not connected
with the convention, unless The interruption
should cease.
The chair stated that he should use his eff
forts to preserve order, and the sergeant at
arms notified the crowd that they must keep
silent or go out.
Mr.. Marshall continuing: Gentlemen,
with your indulgence moment,
l will conclude the remarks 1
have to say. l will repeat, as 1 was Interrupt
ted, that [ am authorized by the united and
unanimous vote of the Illinois delegation to
present for the consideration Of this conven-
tion, that indomitable, that most worthy,
golden hearted citizen, that man of the people,
that man of inhexible honesty, that
man of indomitable courage, that man who
has followed the flag of his country in two
wars. Although apparently young man to-
day, he distinguished himself as private SOL
dier in the Mexican war in his very boyhood;
who distinguished himself as an officer in the
late civil war; that most worthy citizen ard
legislator is Col. VIM. Morrison, of Illinois,
Capplause), and if you will place him in nomi-
nation. will guarantee that voice of appro-
baton will come from every valley and hill
top in this land that will make him the next
President of the United States. (Applause.)
Mr.. Marshall was frequently interrupted by
shouts of time and name the man, and dele
gate moved that person SO disturbing the
convention should be elected by the sergeant
alarms.
The chairman said he would so order if the
Interruptions continued.
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS
The most general and enthusiastic applause
seen during the convention was witnessed
when Indiana was called and D. w. Verhees
took the platform to nominate T. A. Hem
bricks. He acknowledged the worthiness of
all the candidates who had been named, but
nevertheless he ventured to name Thos. a.
Hendricks as equally worthy. No man had
more claims or was more worthy from the
acts of his entire life than this candidate. He
honored the great name of the candidate
from New York who was now Withdrawn from
the convention.
But looking over the career of public men,
there is no man comes into this presence with
more of commendation in the work of his life
than Mr.. Hendricks of Indiana, whether look
ing at him in bis early life as legislator in
the affairs of his State, as a memberlof the con-
fundamental laws of the State;
whether afterwards as member of Congress
representlng large. populous and intelligent
