CLEvELAND's REPLY.
The following is Governor Cleveland's
response to formal notification of his
nomination for the Presidency:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Com
mittcc:
Your formal announcement does not,
of course, convey to me for the first
time, information of the result of the
convention lately held by the Democra-
cy of the Nation. And yet, when, as ]
listen to your message, | see
about me representatives from all parts
of the land of the great party which,
claiming to be the party OF the people,
asks them to cntrust to it the admins
tration of their Government, and when
/ consider under the influence of the
stern reality which the present sur
roundings create thai l have been
chosen to represent the plans, purposes
and the policy of the Democratic party,
| am profoundly impressed by the
solomnity of the occasion and by the
responsibility of my position. Though ]
gratefully appreciate y, | do not
at this moment congratulate myself
upon the distinguished honor which has
been conferred upon me, because my
mind is full of an anxious desire to per-
form well the part which has been
assigned to one. Nor do | at this mo-
ment forget that the rights and interests
of more than
FIFTY MILLIONS OF NY FELLOW CITI-
ZENS
are involved in our efforts to gain Dem
ocratic supremacy. This reflection pre-
sents to my mind the consideration
which more than al others gives to the
action of my party in the convention as
sembled, its most solemn and serious as
pect. The party and its representatives
which entrusts the people with the
fare and their safety should only ask it
with the full appreciation of the sacred
ness of the trust and firm resolve to
administer it faithfully and well.
IAM \ DEMOCRAT
because / believe that this truth
lies at the foundation of true
Democracy. ! have kept the faith be-
cause | believe if righttully and fairly
administered and applied, Democratic
happiness, contentment and prosperity
Of the people. IT, in the contest upon
which we now enter, we stoadiaStly
hold to the underlying principles of our
party creed, and at all times keep in
Wow the peoples good, we shall be
strong because we are true to ourselves,
and because the plain and independent
voters of the land will seek by their
suii'rages to compass their release FROM
party tyranny where there should be
submission to the popular will and
their protection from party corruption
where there should be devotion to the peo-
pies interests. These thoughts lend Il
conservation to or cause, AID we go
forth, not merely to gain partisan ad-
vantage, but pledged to give to those
who trust us, the utmost benefits of an
honest administration Ofnational affairs.
NO HIGiIE Err PURPOSE OR MOTIVE
can stimulate us to supreme effort or
urge us to continuous and earnest labor
than effective party organization. Let
us not fail in this and we may conf
IDENTIFY hope to reap the full re-
ward of patriotic services well
performed. l have thus called
to mind some simple truths, and trte
though they are, it seems to me we do
well to dwell upon them at this time.
| shall soon, l hope, signify in the
usual formal manner my acceptance OF
the nomination which has been ten
dered to me. In the meantime gladly
greet you all as cO-workers in noble
cause.
The rain, which had ceased at noon,
set in again about 2 O'Clock.
Despite the weather, Pearl street
and Broadway were lined with people
standing under the shelter of umbrellas
about the headquarters of the phalanX.
The State street crowd was greatest. At
little before 3 p. IN. the phalanx was
formed on the street, 40 strong. they
were attired in dark suits, high
white hats and carried canes. Pre-
ceded by the Albany City band,
they marched through State street
to Broadway, and the Delavan house,
where the thropg was so great that the
streets and sidewalks were
almost impossible. Here car
riages to the number of forty
We're provided for distinguished gentle
men, comprising the committees.
The report had to he cut short owing to
the lateness of the hour. Editor.l
