you it is a day of young men everywhere,
and Grover Cleveland is, although a young
man, yet as United States Attorney for
New York, as Mayor of Buffalo and as
Governor of the great State of New York
has shown that honesty and ability suffi-
cient for all of these positions, and has
demonstrated
HIS BmrT TO BE PRESIDENT
[cheers and he will be as sure as the 4th
of March comes The speaker then re-
forred 10 the fact that the
Republicans affected to think that
it would be a small affair
to defeat Cleveland and the Democracy,
and to illustrate their position and the sit
uation as he conceived it to be, he told
the story of the Irishman who looked over
the fence and saw a bull with his nose
close to the ground, and conceived that it
would be a very funny thing to do to
jump over the fence, take the bull by the
horns and chuck his nose into the dust.
He tried 1t, but Immediately came back
over the fence in the shape of a harrow
[cheersl, and in telling of his experience
the lrishman said, BE CORA, an it's
lucky that | had my laugh fursht.
[Great cheering. The speaker said that
it was the same way with the Republicans
they will be glad after election is over
that they had their laugh ''fursht," for
they won't feel so much like laughing
then. Mr.. Cowhick; after some further
illusions, closed his speech amid loud
cheering, having made 4 most able and
eloquent address.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Cowhick's adj
dress the band struck up" Hail Columbia, "

almost everything which could be thought
of, were called into requisition; and as the
streams of flame darted Heavenward the
salute which was fired, the shouts of the
multitude and the music of the band. a
most enthusiastic scene was presented,
such as has seldom if ever been presented
in the Magic City of the Plains. After
order was restored speaking was resumed.
MR.. A. c. CAMPBELL
was then introduced and began his To
marks by saying that he did not think
everything the Democrats did was good,
nor everything the Republicans did was
bad, and that a good Republican was bet
ter than a bad Democrat. If the
good of the country required the
defeat of the Democratic party he be
lieyed in defeating it, but he did not be
lieve in defeating that partythis year. He
went on to say that the Chicago conven-
ton had presented a ticket and a platform
alike creditable to the party and the coun-
try. The ticket was one which needed no
apology or defense, and the platform
needed no explanation or excuse. The
convention surprised the people and dis
appointed the Republicans, who thought
the behests of Tammany would be obeyed
and the New York reform Governor de
feated. He then referred to the Republi-
can paper of this city which had asked
WHO GROVER CLEVELAND WAS?
The speaker answered by saving that
Cleveland was the man who had carried
