A committee was appointed to escort the

returned his thanks and said the Convention
was very important one. The country was nj
peace and legislation was continedto business
of great concern to the nation. He hoped
they would select the best man for the nomi-
nee, Us it was important to the business and
mechanical interests of the District. In re-
viewing the political changes, he said 1t was
necessary for the Democrats to stand firm. lie
alluded to party desertiOns-to the men who
had gone off after false gods who had adopted
Greenback principles, who favored prohibi-
ton, and in Virginia had declared themselves
for straight-out reputation, and had gone
back on principle for the sake OF office. He
gave his views upon the tariff, declaring that
he was not in favor of free trade or OF high
tariff, but wanted Il just tariff and one which
would not be sectional [applausel, but which
would place every branch OF industry on an
equal footing.

Hon. Martin l.. Clardv, the favorite candidate
of st. Francois county. Applause.
He then reviewed Mr.. Ciardy's Congress
sonal record, and said it had been most sat
istactory one. 30 wise had his course been i'll
Congress that he challenged the criticism of
opponents. His Democracy was so pure that
he was a terror to independent candidates.
If there ever was Il time when we needed men
OF ability in Congress it was now. If MI were
such men as Martin l.. Clardy-upright and
honest-the next Congress would enact none
but good laws, and the cry would so up from
all over the land: "Give lis Il Democratic Ex-
ecutive." Loud applause.l Clardv repre-
sented no clique or class, but all the interests
of his District. With such men the land
nomination of Mr.. Clardy, with his past eN-
perience, they had guarantee of honesty
and ability In future. [Applause.1
Mr.. Pauly called Mr.. l.. d. Walker to the
chair, and said he had been instructed by the
Democrats of the Ninth Ward to support the

form his duty. He then spoke in the most
fattcring terms of Mr.. Clardy's course in Con-
Bill did him credit and placed him in he front
rank rs Congressman. lApplause.l
Mr.. VarrelmaIl, from the FITTED Ward, In
dorsed ali that had been said of NJ. Clardy.
Judge Emerson moved that the nomination
of Clardy be made by acclamation.
Mr.. w. ii. Ii. Thomas asked to say few
words. He wanted it understood he was II
Democrat, although it had been said he was
not. He wished TO define his position. He
would suffer his right hand to be severed
before he would do anything against the
Democratic party, and he hoped the nomina-
ton of Martin l.. Clardy would be made by
acclamatiOn. Loud appause.1
Mr.. Jesse Joplin said he was from Jefferson
county, too, and knew that w. IL. II. Thomas
was sincere in all he said. Laughter and APP
Mr.. Zach j. Mitchell said the ST. Louis
county Democracy's wish, object and prayer
was for the success Of the party, and they
wanted to place 40 obstacle lin the way OF Il
nomination. They wished to express, though,
their disapproval Of the manner of calling the
Convention; and by the vote they were about
to cast, they did not wish to be understood as
confirming the action; but us that was the only
call they could recognize, they actiuicsced.
Mr.. Clardy being the only candidate, st. Louis
of the majority controlled, and the st. Louis
county Democracy would not be wanting
when called upon for action.
After speaking his own views and what he
considered the national Democratic party's
policy regarding tariff matters, Mr.. Mitchell
said, in substance, that the county Democrats
would make it very warm for Greenbackcrs
or boiling Democrats who might take !, no.
ton to oppose the nominee of the Convention.
Such men would save time by not calling in
st. Louis county.

iZers WAS received with applause.

put and unanimously carried, and the Chair
man formally announced the nomination of
