of Gramercy and his venerated frien
from Indiana Mr.. Hendricks). If W
could not have the old ticket, he ha
been casting about to see who wa
the man who in the emergency shout
, lead the hosts of the democracy t.
grand victory. Nothing short of
biunder could make the democrac,
lose tie election with 80 democratic
governors and % democratic legisla
tures, representing 253 electoral votes
nothing but a fatal blunder coulC
mike the democracy lose. The mar
il his mind was spoken of as "the no
6lest Roman of them all-Allen &
Thurman, of Ohio" Cheers. He
4 therefore seconded that nomination
He had looked in Mr.. Thurman's face
yesterday, and recognize - him 'the
colossal democrat" of tie country
the Bismarck of America With
Thurman as the standard bearer, they
could carry Ohio, New York ID Cal
ifornia. In proof of this statement he
repeated conversation he hal with
General Spinola and other Ta imany
men and read kilograms from Ohio,
and California. In conclusion he de-
clared (before Cod that the democ-
racY was hungry even unto death,
not for the venal spoils of Office, but
for the glory of doing good to their
fellow beings, daughter and applause).
Mr.. Livingston, of Missouri, rose to
second the nomination of General
Cleveland, but the chairman stated
that it would require unanimous con-
sent. mo matter" said Mr.. Living
ston, 1--WE have got our work in any
how, Qaughter).
Mr.. Thomas Powell, of Ohio, came
to the platform to put in nomination
the name of George Hoadly of Ohio,
and he declared that if the democracy
was true to itself, success IN the com
ing struggle was already assured.
Within the last few years, he said, the
state of Ohio had overcome republic
can majority of over 100000. At this
hour, the government of Ohio was in
the keeping of the great democratic
party. The man who had been the
acknowledged leader in bringing
about that change is the candidate
whom he now presented-George
Hoadley, of Ohio. Some applausel.
Mr.. Hoadley had received the largest
endorsement ever given to democrat
in Ohio, he having received 1900
more votes than Hancock had in 1880. |
He was known to the nation as
great lawyer, and a wise statesman; a
fearless leader; a man of acknowledge |
ed ability; of undoubted integrity and
as well as of wisdom.

been reached in the call, Senator VIM.

platform to nominate Mr.. Randall.

as her candidathe for the |
mighty office of president of the Unit |
ed States. Loud applause and
cheers.
Governor Abbott, of New Jersey,
seconded the nomination of Randall.
He said that there was conviction
on the land that if wisdom
controls the counsels of the democratic
party in making a platform broad
enough for every democrat to stand
upon, and in placing upon it candi-
date of ability and pure life, success
lies in the result of their deliberations.
He believed that Samuel j. Randall,
as the candidate, would reach the con-
trolling vote in the pivotal states more
certainly than any other of the dis
men named. He asked
where does success lie? Not in Min
nesota, not in Iowa or any other of
the confirmed republican states, but in
those close states which were carried
by Tilden in 1876 He reviewed the
arguments urged for Cleveland, and
said these all applied to Thurman,
Bayard and others. Then what eX-
cuse was there in putting aside these
grand democratic veterans for a
new MANI The record of Mr.. Randall
is pure and stainless, while his public
career for twenty years has been in
behalf of an economical and honest
government. There are practical eff
forts for reform. Randall would
sweep New Jersey like great politi-
cal cyclone. He is the friend of la
borers everywhere, and the conyen-
ton could do no better than to nomi-
nate him.
The call of
THE ROLL OF STATES
for nominations was then resumed.
Rhode Island being called, the
chairman of that delegation announc-
ed that Rhode Island had no candi-
