ALLEN q. THURMAN
of Ohio. For more than twenty years !
Mr.. Thurman bad been the |
boldest and ablest advocate OF Demo-
cratic doctrines and Democratic prin- |
ciples. The only objection urged |
against him was that Ohio was an Oc- |
tober state. The reply TO that was
that this was not q state but national
convention.
The nomination of Mr.. Thurman
was Endorsed by Gen. Durbin Ward Of
Ohio. He declared that Ohio would
I've the battle ground of the preslden-
tial election, and il the Democracy
carried Ohio in October the battle
would be already won. They wanted
an Ajax with helmet and spear TO
thunder along the line and
deal death giving blows to
| the foe, and Thurman was that Al lax
| in intellect, in courage, In adherence
To constitutional law, in defense of the
rights of the masses, i'm defiance Of the
power Of mnnopolies, and in defiance
of the corruptions of the age. Mr..
Thurman had no peer except Mr.. Til
den. TApplause. The Democrats had
carried the state of Ohio in the last
two annual elections aud with Thur
man as the presidential candidate 1t
would carry it again next October.
He was no shallow politician but was
the colossal figure in the Democratic
party.
1t was observable that a part Of the
Ohio delegation refused to participate
in the applause that greeted the name
of Thurman.
CARLISLE PRESENTED.
James A. Mckenzie of Ken
lucky next came to the plat
form, and in the name of state which
he said would give 90 600 majority to
the Democratic nominee, nominated
the present distinguished speaker of
the American house of commons, Jno.
G. Carlisle. In all the essential char
actetistics..of. manlint 81. courage, ability
and patriotism, Mr.. Carlisle was the
peer OF any great name that had been
Cr would be mentioned In connection
with the Office. No name carried
with it more of talismanic charm, or
more of the respect of the American
people than his. He was a man not
born for small or selfish things. He
was n man to whom dish0nor
Is unknown. He Is one made up of
greatness, who had a victorious birth
right In his name alone. 1t may be
urged that he came from the wrong
! side of the Ohio river, but If the
I statute Of limitation was ever to run
that plea ought to begin now cheers
(, He contrasted Carlisle and Blaine; the
firstas being man on whom even God
}. had seemed to set his seal; the other,
D as leprous with accusation and covered
e and tattooed all over applausel.
i When the forces of Oliver Cromwell,
lying on their arms waiting battle,
they frequently engaged In angry dis
cussion concerning matters of
faith, but when the order to
u charge came down the line from
old ironsides, that the forces of Prince
e Rupert were in front, they forgot their
!. differences and had no thought but
e victory until success crowned the arms
' of the protectorate. So, when the
: chairman of the convention would
$ shortly give to the Democratic hosts
II the command to charge all along the
line, they would lay aside all differ
ences and dissensions and chickering's
S and strife and charge the Republican
e party front and reor. II they had
}. John G.. Carlisle at the head of theil
column they would win such a vic
y tory as was won by the Puritan forces
d of Cromwell at Nasely and Marston
y Moor. lCheers.]

When the state of Massachusetts
u was reached 1t was called and the re
e Spouse was waited with much curios
u ity. Cheers and Kisses were about
u equally balanced, but it was announced
e by Mr.. Abbott that Massachusetts, had
e no nomination to make at this time.
D. The nomination of Bayard was
q elouuently seconded by Hooker OF
e Mississippi.
ls CLEVELAND PRESENTED.
d When the state of New York was
n called there was good deal of cheer
u ing aud waving of hats and handker
d chiefs, principally on the part of the
'e spectators, but at 1855 p. IN. Mr.
e Lockwood of New York cam'
d upon the platform to put
u in nomination Mr.. Cleveland
t. He said that the responsibility
lie which he felt was made greater whei
lie he remembered the richest pages O
lie American history had been made III
e, from the records of the Democratic
1T party and remembered the outrage O
Ell 1876 was still unavenged. No man hat
d greater respect than he for the houore'
lie n imes presented to the convention, blu
ls the world was growing and new mel
r. who had been hut little In politics wer
lie coming to the front. [Cheers. Thre
years ago lac had the honor, in the cit
of Buffalo. to present tn
n name of the same gentlema
~ for the office of mayor, and withou
10 hesitation Gov. Cleveland had bee
I'd accepted as the candidate. The resul
n of that election and of holding of tina
TX office was that in less than min
e, months the state of New York foun
a, itself I'm q position to want such car
to didate and when in the convention {
lis 1882, his name was presented for tn
er Office Of governor of the state of Ne,
H. York, the same class of people kne,
d that that meant nm honest govern
I'd ment; that 1t meant pure govern
In ment; that 1t meant Democratic go,
Id eminent and that it was rat
m fed. [Applause.l Now tn
ey Democratic state of New ior
er came and asked that that name
ke given to the Independent and Demo
"a cratic vote of the country; the youn

OF the country; the name of Gov. Clev'
