Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1884-07-15

Cheers. Three years ago he had the
honor in the city of Buffalo to present the
name of the same gentleman for the chce
of mayor. Without hesitation tie name
of Gov Cleveland had been accepted as
the candidate. Applause in the galleries
and from portions of the delegations. The
result of the election and of the holding OF
that Office was that in less than nine months
the State of New York found itself III a
position to want such candidate, and
when in the convention of 1889 his pane
was presented for the office of Governor OF
the State of New York, the same class OF
people knew that that meant honest gov
eminent, that it meant pure government,
that it meant Democratic government, and
it was ratified. [Applause.] Now the
Democratic State Of New York came and
asked that there be given to the indepen-
dent and Democratic voters of the country,
the young men of the country, the new
blood of the country, the name OF Gov.
Cleveland. [Cheers.
The nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland was
seconded by Mr.. Harrison, OF Illinois. Six
weeks ago, the cry was: "Tilden and re-
| FORM" now it was "Cleveland and re-
form" [Cheers.] The Democrats of IL
| linois believed that the mantle of Samuel
J. Tilden had fallen and rested gracefully
on the shoulders of Grover Cleveland.
Grady and Cochrane, of New York, OPP
posed Cleveland with violence, averring
that he could not carry New York.
E. z. Apgar, of New York, was next
heard in a short speech seconding the NOM
ination of Mr.. Cleveland. He called at
tention to the fact that when Mr.. Tilden
| was nominated the same men who are now
L l..
some Of the same grounds. And yet he
| carried the State and carried New York
city by $1,000, where these gentlemen had
predicted the principal detection.
! A motion to suspend the order of bust
ness was made and carried, and then, at
go, the convention took recess until
1880 A. M. Thursday.

The proceedings were opened with pray
| er by the Rev. Geo. G. Lorimer, of the I'm
manuel Baptist Church of Chicago.
