The present Governor OF New

nized as one OF the most available
candidates for the Democratic noml.
nation for President of the United
States. His career. briefly summed
up, is as follows: He was born at
Caldwell, N. j., March 18th, 1897;

public Institution in New York City I;

falo he instituted and carried out
many reforms which gave him ma.

HOW THE NOMINATION WAS RECEIVED.
At the Manhattan club the mem
bers present heartily endorsed the
ticket. The feeling everywhere
among democrats was one of pro-
found satisfaction.
This is the club Roscoe Conkling
joined not long ago.
George William Curtis, the leader
of the independent republican move
ment. was found at his office this
afternoon. He said: II regard the
nomination as the wisest one the
democratic party could have made,
and believe it will be satisfactory to
independent voters
Carl Schnrz said: II am pleased
with the nomination of Gov. Cicve
land and shall give him my support.
| think he Is the best candidate the
democrats could have nominated,
and he will undoubtedly receive a
large support outside of his own
party from the independent voters"
Horace 4. Deming, chairman of
the independent republican exccu-
tive Committee, and president of the
Young Republican club, Brooklyn,
said he regarded Cleyeland's nomi-
nation as equally triumph of the
better element OF the democratic
party anu tribute to the independ-
ent sentiment throughout the coun-
try in both parties. He had no
doubt Cleyeland would be able to
carry New York state, as he would
undoubtedly receive the support Of
the independent voters of the re-
publican party, and his popularity
among the young men was well es.

The domination OF Gov. Cleveland Isl

could have been made. i propose to
vote for Gov. Cleveland for the presi-

convention--they were all rst-class-
men-I believe the nomination OF
Gov. Cleveland is the very best un
