"Bayard, Bayard."l When the speaker
mentioned the name of Thomas
Francis Baysrd, it was hailed
with spontaneous outburst of applause. He
was no novice, but men of experience and
craftsmanship. His name and record were
known wherever our flag floats, or the Eng
fish tongue is spoken. With aprivate charsc-
ter as spotless as snow, q Judgements clear as
sunlight and keen as flashing sabre honest.
The people all know him and need not be
told who and what he ia, or whom, more
than in him will the business interests of the
country find more trustworthy servant, or
who, bettor than he, will truly
represent the Democratic party or
who will give higher directions to its as.
pirations than he; whose name ia the very
synonym Of opposition to corruption in
every form; who had contributed more to the
present commanding strength Of the Demo-
cratic party. Don't tell us that although you
admire and love him, that he is unavailable;
don't tell us that he is too good man TO
command the sufirages Of the Democratic
party. Tell us that brave party is to be
led by brave man, who will never falter in
any emergency. His nominatiomwill be the |
pressge of victory in November from the |
gulf to the ocean. Applause in the gal

istrstion, if nominated and elected, would
prove his worthiness of every station he had
filled in the past. To the south, who had
been more faithful, to the north, who had
been truer, Indiana nailed his colors to the
