So Mr.. President and gentlemen, with deep
and realizing sense of the great responsibility
that rests upon this convention and upon
every member of it to act that
the great opportunity that God himself
| I reverently believe has given Us, may not pass
away unimproyed, TO so act that the dawning
light which fIIumines our horizon may not be
darkened but may grow and increase into the
MONDAY splendor of victory in November. The
/ career Of the Republican party, marked as it mas
been by reckless disregard of every constitution
al restraint and every dear right that belongs to
the people fttingly eliminated in 4 candidate
and platform that were made and declared IN
this hall little more than month ago. That
elimination has flung defiance into the face Of
American manhood and has shocked the con-
science of the best men of every party. Such
nomination, gentlemen, is a sign of decadence
Of great party, not a sign Of its
Increasing strength. Now, gentlemen, the
Democracy of this great country demands that
you shall give them a standard bearer in the
impending contest one who has been tried IN the
balance and never found wanting. Applause.
1t demands statesman whose wisdom and eX-
perience are known Of all men. Applause, 1t

SANDER. Applause. The Democrats Of these
nited States, in a word, demand who
shall in his public and private character be the
very antihesis and opposite of the nominee of the
Republican party. Applause. Gentlemen,
speak from my heart, l know. but | do not be-
lieve that You win think that my affections have
! altogether taken possession of my head when
say the man who has all this and more, and
whose name know is now leapiRg from your
hearts TO your lips is Thomas Francis Bayard, Of
Delaware. [Great applause. Why, gentlemen,
this republic, this dear country of ours, was
reared by such men these and the Democratic
party Will always point with boundless pride to
his spotess name and his magnificent career.
Applause Who, I ask, has defended that
great palladium Of our liberties, the rights
of the states, more CALAMITY than
he? who has stood with rtare dAuntless courage
to resist insOlent assertion Of arbitrary power
that would have governed some of the fairest
states in this union by military satraps? when did
his voice ever fail on any great ques
ton that concerned the interests of honor
of this country to utter words of wisest council
or to combat what he knew to be false? How
can you afford, gentlemen of the Democratic
party, to pass him by2 (Applause.) What ac-
count will you give to the Democracy who sent
you here if you shall fail to meet the challenge
OF our opponents by falling to biazou his name
upon our banners: (Applause) y hat will you
say to the people over this great land who are
now anxiousy looking to the deliberations Of
10 of
events flash to the uttermost corners of this
Union that name which win be the
watchwOrd in the battle for honest and pure gov

yention, with Bayard as your candidate you will
make no mistake ICheers: his name will still

ranks Of Democracy in every state he will carry
every doubtful state and he will make those
states doubtful that never were doubtful before.
