sibilty resting on the convention 10 net so

The Republican nomination had flung tsed-
ance INTO the face OF Americas manhood snd
i,'a III siiovksI thS eonscience OF the best men
IN That party such nomination was a sign
OF the decadence OF that great party, not n
sign oftncreasing strength. The Democracy
called Tor candidate who had been tried In

Democrats demanded u statesman whose
wisdom and experience were known II de-
manded u leader whose chiyalrous courage
would never falter, and, who could and
Knight OF false pretense and OF pc ersonal dis
honor. II demanded Il man with private
character which would defy the malignant
tongues OF slander: II demanded u man

more, and whose name was now leaplng

place Of apathy and would grow and still
grow as tho leaves were falling untii the

| When the State of Indiana was called, Mr.
Hendricks, Of that State, came TO the plat
| form amid great applause. He said the people
demanded II change in the management of
Federal affairs and II the convention would
give them half an opportunity, they would
| execute that purpose IN the election OF Il
President in the coming fall, lCheers.l He
| believed the nominee Of this convention
would become the chosen President OF the
| United States-thc first inaugurated Demo.
| cratic President in twenty-four years
| Cheers He spoke of the official corruption
| of the Republican party and referred To Sec
| rctnTy Chambers recent testimony
before a Senate committee, In which
| he said that the delalcatons
IN one OF his bureaus would not exceed $685.
| WN; and yet forty years ago mn adminstra-
tiOn had gone down because of "a d6falcation
of S6O,OOO, and the only one. In regard to civil
service, he said that there We're men OF ability
IN the public service and he would not ask
that they should be driven out of Office. None
others but such should be- continued; none
but the iittesi should survive. Referring TO
The foreign policy of the government. he said
| II would be n beautiful spectacle If this Re-
public so strong, so secure, should lead the
nations In Il movement for permanent
peace and for the relief of the people every
where from standing armies and wastcful
war. He then came down to the subject OF
his speech and suggested for the cpnsidcrn
ton of the convention, u citizen of the state
Of Indiana, Joseph X. Mcdonald Cheers.
He skctched Mr.. McDonald'S career, and de-
clarcd that IL he were In the White House no
man who could 90 10 see him there would
lind fault with the candid and frank manner
Of his reception. He did not speak for him
self alone or Mcdonald alone, but for the
structcd her delegates TO pre-
sent McDOnald's name 10 this
great convention. No matter where
the Democratic candidate for the Presidency
| lived, Indiana had been always found true,
hut that fact should not come In Judgment
against her. They should not say from cleo
ton to election, rom convention TO conven-
lion, that they need not trouble about
|
must take care (he would say by way OF illus.
trationl of New York. Laughter aud ap.
plause.l Mr.. Mcdonald was a man OF good
Judgment and high character. and his nam,
was presented by u great State He, there.
fore, presented that name, and all lac asked
was justice.
General Black, of Illinois, seconded tn,
nomination of Mcdonald. They would pre-
sent, he said, IA platform which would appea
to the sober Judgment OF the people. They
also needed n man whose antCccdcnta, knowT
OF all men, constituted a satisfactory answer
10 all reasonable objections. They needed q
man whose views ON all public questions
could be found without u search warrant, and
determined without an lnquistion ZAP
plause. Mr.. Mcdonald was such Il man. He
favored the monetization OF silver and the
saving OF the Pacific coast from the coolies
Hcrvile labor. He WAS u wise legislator, u true
financier, a brave statesman, and his record
glttered with the stars ~ truth, and
all might see its glory. Every stai
In II was Democratic star and all
lts glores were those OF the people Cheers.
THURMAN.
John W. Breckenridge, OF California, intro
duced by the Chairman as the son of the last
Democratic Vice President, who was not un.
Justly deprived OF his office, next came to tn,
platform. lie said that the delegates from
California had been instructed To present fol
the consideration OF the convention, q mar
who needed no eulogy, whose name was IN
the hearts Of the whole American people, d
man who, II nominated, would he the mex
| President Of the United States, that man wns
Allen e. Thurman, of Ohio. For more thar
twenty years Mr.. Thurman had been tn,
hOldest and ablest advO ate Of the Democrat,
doctrines and Democratic principles. The
only objection urged against him was thai
Ohio was an October State. The reply to thai
was that this was not State, hut Nationa
convention,
The nomination of Mr.. Thurman was on.
dorsed by Gen. Durbcn Ward, OF Ohio. lie
declared that Ohio would bc the battl,

mocracy carried ohio In October. The battl,
would be already won. They wanted au
Ajax with n helmet and spear to thunder
along the line aud deal dCath-giving blows Ia
the foe. Thurman was that Ajax. In intel
lcct, In courage, In adherence TO constitu-
tiOnnl law, In defense 0f the rights Of the
masses, In defiance Of the power or mOnopo-
lies In defiance of the corruptiOnsu uf the age
Mr.. Thurman had no peer except Mr.. rildcn
Applause. The Democrats Ind ear
red the State Of Ohio Ia the last
two annual elections and with Thurman
as the Presidential candidate u would carry
II again next October. He was no shallow
politician, but was the colossal figure In the
Democratic party. II was observable that {
part of the ohio delegation refused 20 pnrtlc-
ipatg IN the applause that greeted the name
Of Thurman.
