Colonel Villas Speech

dience full in the face Colonel Villas
stepped forward and said
"Grover Cleveland, Governor of the
State of New York ; These gentlemen,
my associates here present, whose voice
am honored with authority to utter, are
committee appointed by the national
Democratic convention which recently as
sembled in Chicago and charged with the
grateful duty of acquainting you officially
and in that solemn and ceremoniOus man
ner which the dignity and Importance of
the communication demand with the in.
teresting result of It's deliberations. al
ready known to you through the ordinary
channels Of news.
"Sir, that august body, convened by
direct delegation from the Democratic
people OF the several states and terri,
tories OF the republic and deliberating
under the witness Of the greatest assem-
bly, OF freemen ever gathered TO such a
conference In forethOught of the election
which the constitution imposes upon them
during the current year, have nominated
you u the people Of these UnItod States to
be their president for the next ensuing
term Of that great office, and with grave
consideration OF its exalted responsible bilities
have confidently invoked their suifrages
TO invest you with its functions Through
this committee the conventions high re.
quirement 10 delivered that you accept
that candidacy.
" This choice carries with it profound
personal respect and admiration, but it has
been in no manner the fruit Of these sent
ments. Tho rational Democracy seek a
president, not in compliment for what the
man In or reward for what he has done,
but in just expectation OF what he will
accomplish as the true servant OF free
people, lit for their lofty trust. Always Of
momentons consequence, they conceive the
public exigency to be now Of transcendent
Importance, that laborious reform in ad-
ministratiOn as well as legislation is
imperatiyely necessary to the prosperity
and honor of the republic, and competent
chief magistrate must be of unusual
temper and power. They have observed
with attention your execution of the public
trusts you have held, especially OF that
with which you are now 30 hon0rably in
vested. They place reliance for tho
usefulness of the service they expect
TO exact for tho benefit OF tho
