GOV. CLEvELAND's RESPONSE
to the formal notifications of his
nomination for the presidency.
MIR. Chairman and gentlemen of the
committee: Your formal announce.
ment does not, of course, convey to
me the first information of the result
OF the convention lately held by the
democracy of the nation, and vet {
when, as | listen tss4yon.rs- message. I
see ABOUT me REPRESENTATIVES from all
parts parts OF tie land, of the great party
"'4ccil claiming to be the party of the
people, asks them to entrust to it the
administration of their government,
and when consider, under the in
tluence of the stern reality which
the present surroundings create, that
have been cnosen to represent the
plans, the purposes, and the policy OF {
the democratic party, ana Profound
ly impressed by the soleInnity of the {
occasion, and by the responsibility Of
my position. Though l gratefully ap- {
preciate it, 1 do not, at this men,enc, 1
myself up~n the distin-
guished homer Which has been con- I
Ierred Upon me, because my mind is
Lail OF an anxious desire to perform Z
we'll the part which has been assigned c
20 me; nor do l, at this moment, forget e
hat the rights and interests of more d
han fifty millions of our fellow-citi- v
,ens are involved in our efforts to s
ram democratic supremacy. This re.
leciIon presents to my mind the con- a
tlGutlon which, more than all others, 8
,lVes to the action of MY party iu !
assemr1sd, its most sober b
nd serioua aspect. The party and il
ts representatives which entrust the d
'eople with the keeping of all that
their welfare and their safe c
y, should only ask it, with the Il
un appreciation of the sacredness a
# the trust, and firm b
esolyed to administer it faithfully 81
nd well. / am democrat, because II
believe that this truth lies at the Il
of true democracy. have g
.ept the faith because l believe, ii b
lightly and fairly administered and
pplied, democratic doctrine and L
measures will insure the happiness, e.
ontentment and prosperity of the b
eople. If, in the contest upon which q
Ve now enter, we steadfastly hold to d.
he b
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES u
f our party creed, and at all times ~ u
eep in view the peoples good, we !;
hall be strong because we u =
re true to ourselves, and be- y
ause the plain and independent voters :,
t the land will seek, by theic r
uffrages, to compass their release -
rom a party of tyranny. whore there ~ ~
hould be submission to the popular "
TiH; and their protection from party
where there should be de-
otion to the interests of the people Il
'hese thoughts lend conservation to st
ur cause aud we go forth, not merely ct
D gain partisan advantage, but h
lodged to give, to those who trust us, "
ne utmost benefits and honest admin T
'tration of national affairs, No al
igher purpose or motive can stimu- te
ste US to the supreme effort, or m
rye rs TO continuous and h
arrest l.bor, than effective fl
arty organization. Let us not fail in ol
MS, and we may confidently hope to
cap the full reward of patriotic ser
ices well performed. l have thus
allied to mind some simple truths n,
nd, trite though they are, it seems to
le we do well to dwell upon them at
lis time. 1 shall soon, l hope, signi- !.
Y in the usual formal manner, my u
cceptance of the nomination, which u
as been rendered me. In the mean 81
me, 1 gladly greet you all as CO. =
TorkerS in noble cause. "
