DR.. Lanmc was unanimously chosen
president Of the meeting. and in his
pleasing manner. briefly spoke IF the
pleasure it gave him to preside at such !,
time and place.
Hon. Saml Word was then Introduce!
aud although suffering from the excr-
tions Of the previous he spoke eloquent
ly, calling forth rounds of applause. He
first read telegram from Danl. Manning
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee of New York, which stated that
Cleveland had been elected, following
with a message from Major Maginnis and
Mr.. Hauser of Helena, urging him to
come by special train to assist in painting
that town a bright, vermillion hue that
night, in the grandest celebration that
city has ever witnessed. He facetiously
alluded to the doses repeated every four
years which he had taken for twenty
five wears. He reviewed the transac-
tons of the Democratic National Conven-
ton at Chicago and depicted the exciting
scenes he witnessed while a member of
that body the deafening cheers upon
the arrival of Thurman, Bayaad and
Hendricks; the uprising Of that vast ar-
dience to man and hailing with wild
acclaim the entrance Of these sturdy Ro-
mans. Notwithstanding, he regared the
nomination of Cleveland wise move as
it gave the pivotal state of New York to
the Democrats. The official acts of tleve-
land commended him to honest tepnb-
LEANS as well as Democrats and his ca
reer as chief executive of this nation
would be a grand one, calculated to har-
monte the best interests of the country;
and instead of turning out every Repub-
lican office-holder the good would be sift-
ed from the bad, and that honesty in Of
fee would be regarded rather than the
political complexion of the incumbents.
He then spoke of TIlden, who had been
80 grossly cheated out of his due and
who. rather than plunge the nation into
a war quietly withdrew from the conflict.
He said there were Republicans who
were as proud of HAYES usurpation as if
they had PIT nicklc in the contribl-
ton box When Blaine Haunted the
bloody shirt he descended from states
manship to demagogism. There was no
solid south, the imaginary line had long
ago obliterated; because the south defied
the north once there is no reason why it
should since be similarly accused. The
time had now come when the people
would examine the books. lie said Il
cyclone had evidently struck the local
Democrats, and advised them to take ad-
vantage of the lesson and hereafter to
stand firmly together. He closed by pay
ing high tribute to Delegate Toole, and
while he was pleased to be numbered
among to the friends of Mr.. Knowles, he
admitted that Congress would have adj
iourned before that gentleman would
have his credentials prepared. Cheering
frequently interrupted Mr. Word and at
the close the applause was tremendous.
Judge Luce was then called for and de-
livered brief address in which he stat
ed that he had stood drubbing every
four years with great regularity. but now
experienced the happiest day of his life.
The victory was the grandest achieve
ment of modern times it was remarka-
BILE because of the opposition Of $1,000
trained politicians.
Hon. Frank Armstrong was then called
upon, and after speaking of the hastiness
with which the meeting was gotten up
and adding his opinion as to the results
to follow the administration of Grover
Cleveland, the meeting adjourned.
You got off from the charge Of bur
