Gov. Cleveland, who had stood meanwhile as
an intent listener, replied as follows:
REPLY OF GOV. CLEVELAND.
The following is the reply of Gov. Cleveland:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Commit
tee-Your formal announcement does not, of
course, convey TO me the first information of the
result of the convention lately held by the Dem
ocracy of the nation, and yet when, as / listen
to your message see about me representatives
from all parts of the land of the great party
which, claiming to be the party of the people,
asks them to intrust to it the administration of
their government, and when | consider, under
the influence of the stern reality which the pres
ent surroundings create, that have been chosen
to represent the plans, purposes and the
policy of the Democratic party
am profoundly impressed by the
solemnity of the occasion. and by the response
bility of my position. Though / gratefully ap-
I II NOT
myself for the distinguished honor which has
been conferred upon me, because my mind is
full of an anxious desire to perform well the
part which has been assigned to me. Nor do L
at this moment forget that the rights and inter-
ests of more than fifty millions of my fellow citi
zens are involved in our efforts to gain Demo-
cratic supremacy. This reflection presents to
my mind the consideration which more than all
others gives to the action of
my party in convention assembled its most
sober and serious aspect. The party and its rep
resentatives, which ask to be entrusted at the
hands of the people with the keeping of all that
concerns their welfare and their safety, should
only ask it with the full appreciation of the
sacredness of the trust, and with firm resolve
to administer it faithfully and we'll am
Democrat because believe that this truth lies at
the foundation of true Democracy. i have kept
the faith because believe If rightly and fairly
administered and applied, Democratic doc
happiness, contentment and prosperity of
the people. IT, in the contest upon which we
now enter we steadfasty adhere to the underly-
ing principles of party creed and at all times
keep III view the peoples good, we shall be
strong because we are true to ourselves and be-
cause the plain and independent voters of the
land will seek by their suffrage to compass their
release from the party tyranny where there
should be submission to the popular will, and
their protection from party corruption, where
there shOlud be devotion to the people interests
These thoughts lend conservation to our cause
and we go forth, not merely to gain partisan
advantage, but pledged TO give to those who
trust us the utmost benefits and honest admins
tration of national affairs. No higher purpose or
motive can stimulate us to supreme effort or
urge us to continuous and earnest labor and
effective party organization. Let us not fail in
this aud we may confidently hope to reap the full
reward of the patriotic services well performed.
have thus called to mind some simple truths,
and trite though they are, it seems to me we do
Well to dwell upon them at this time. / shall
soon, hope, signify in the usual formal manner
my acceptance of the nomination which has been
rendered me. In the meantime gladly greet you
all ss co-workers in a noble cause
The governor spoke extemporaneously and not
without evidence of deep earnestness and feel
ing. He seemed TO realize the weight of re-
sponsibility which rested upon his shoulders as
the standard bearer of the party. The address
was not only a model one in thought but was
delivered with rare grace and effect The con-
gratulati0ns which were showered upon him by
the many distinguished leaders of the party at
the close of the ceremonies were sincere and
hearty. After some time spent in social inter
changes the doors of the dining room were
swung open and refreshments partaken of.
