Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1884-07-11
BISMARCK, DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JULY II, 1884,

the decadence of that great party, not a sign o.
increasing strength. The democracy called for q
candidate who had been tried in the balance and
never found wanting Democracy demanded
statesman whose wisdom and experience
were known. 1t demanded a leader whose
chivalric courage would never alter and who
could and would bring to dust the plumed
knight of false pretense and personal dishonor It
demanded man with private chatacter which
would defy the malignant tongue Of slander.
1t demanded man who should be, in his pub
lie and private character, the very antithesis
and opposite of the nominee of the republican
party. (Cheers.) A man who WAS all this and
more, and whose name was leaping from their
hearts to their mouths, was Thomas F. Bayard.
loud cheers.)
joseph e. M'DoNALD.
When the state of Indiana was called, Mr..
Hendricks cf that state, came to the platform
amid loud applause.
He said that the people demanded change
in the management of federal affairs and that If
the convention would give them half an oppor-
tunity they would execute that purpose in the
election in the coming fall. (Cheers) He
believed that the nominee Of this convention
would become the chosen president of the
United States and the first inaugurated demo-
cratic president in "a years. (Cheers.) He
spoke of the official corruptions OF
the republican party and referred to
Secretary Chandler's recent testimony before a
senate committee, in which he said that the
defalcations in one of his bureaus would not
exceed $685. 1000, and yet fcrty years ago an ad-
ministration had been put down because of a
defalcation of 100000. When he reached the
main subject of his speech hs suggested for the
consideration of the convention citizen of the
state of Indiana, Joseph E. Mcdonald.
(Cheers.)
General Black, of Illinois, seconded the nom
ination of Mcdonald.
CALIFORNIA FOR THURMAN.
John W. Breckenridge, of California, was
introduced by the chairman as the son OF the
last democratic vice president, who was not
uniustly deprived of his Office, and as he took
the platform he said the dele gate from California
had bee instructed to present for the consid-
Grafton of the convention man who needed no
eulogies, whose name was in the hearts OF the
whole American people, a man who, if noni-
mated, would be the next president of the United
States. That man was Allan G. Thurman, Of
Ohio. (Cheers)
The nomination of MIR. Thurman was en-
dorsed by General Durbin Ward, of Ohio, who
SAID Mr.. Thurman had no peer except Mr..
Tilden. (Applause.) The democracy had
carried the state of Ohio in the last two elections,
and with Thurman as the presidential candi-
date it would carry it again next October.
James A. Mckenzie, of Kentucky, next came
to the platform and in the name of state
which he said would give $4,000 majority to
the democratic nominee nominated the present
distinguished speaker of the house,
JOHN G. CARLISLE.
In all the essential characteristics of manli-
ness, courage, ability and patriotism, MIR.
Carlisle had no peer of any great name that
had been or would be mentioned in connection
with the Office.
MASSACHUSETTS PASSED.
When the state of Massachusetts was called
the response was awaited with much curiosity.
The cheers and Kisses were almost equally
balanced, but 1t was announced by Mr.. Abbott
that Massachusetts had no nomination to make
at the time.
The nomination of Mr. Bayard was eloquently
seconded by Hooker, of Massachusetts.
When the state of New York was called there
WAS good deal of cheering and waving OF
hands and handkerchiefs on the part of the
spectators in the galleries.
At $50 Mr.. Lockwood, of New York, came up
to the platform to put in nomination Mr.. Cleve-
land. he said that the responsibility which he
felt was made greater when he remembered the
richest pages of American history had been
made up from the records of Democratic ad-
ministratlons and remembered that the outrage
of 1876 was still unavenged. No man had a
greater respect than himself for the honored
names presented to the convention, but the
world was moving, and new men who had acted
but little in politics were coming to the front.
(Cheers.) Three years ago he had the honor in
the city of Buffalo to present the name of the
same gentleman for the Office of mayor with
| hesitation) the name of
GROVER CLEVELAND
as the candidate. (Applause in. the galleries,
and from portions of the delegations) The re-
suit of that election and the holding of that of.
flee was, in less than nine months the state of
New York found itself in a position to want
such candidate, and when, in the convention
of 1882, his name was presented for the office of
governor of the state of New York, the same
class of people knew that that meant an honest
90 sernment; that it meant purelya pure gov.
ernment; that it meant democratic govern
ment. aud it waa ratified. (Applause.) Now
the democratic state of New York came and
asked that a name be given to the independent
and democratic voters of the country, the young
men of the country, the new blood Of the coun-
trv-the name of Grover Cleveland: (Cheers.) }
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland WAS sec-
onded BY Harrison, of Illinois. Six weeks ago,
