a majority of more than a Quarter of q
million of votes and now he
is a candidate for reelection
and this time he will not be cheated out
of his office. [cheerl He is going to
take his seat on the 4th of March next,
[cheers along with our great standard
bearer, Grover Cleveland. TCheers1
Where is William A.. Wheeler, who it is
claimed was elected Vice-P President eight
Years ago? Who had heard of him since?
Where is he while the people have come
forth en- masse, as it might be said, to
vindicate Hendricks? No one knows
where he is. He may be away up
among the swamps and boys of Northern
New York for aught he knew angling for
catfish or suckers. [Cheers and laughter. I
And then where is Hayes Where is he
now? He is foagotten. and it is seldom if
ever hat you can hear his name men
toned. How different is his case from
that of Tilden. In Tlden's case the
people have demanded of him that he con-
sent to take the office to which has been
once before elected, but he cannot do it,
but thank God Grover Cleveland will take
it. LGreat cheering. The Speaker also
referred to other matters and questions
involved in the political issues of the day
and as he concluded cheers again rent the
air.
REV 4 a
was then introduced amid cheering and
proceeded TO eloquently address the
throng. He said that it was an &C
casion to fell joyful over
and he felt that all could and would re-
joice over the prospect-the sure prospect
tbwhlch was now offered us of e~lecting
two pure, honest and upright men to the
offices of President and Vice President of
the United States, [Cheers. We have
good men and great men in the grand old
Democratic party [cheersl and although
the Republicans say that we have no
great men, yet they forget all
about the facts of the case
they forget about Samuel j. Tilden.
lCheers They forget about that great
man Thomas F.. Bayard [cheers, whose
family for five generations have been in
public life, and nothing in the record of
any of that family to mar their pubic
record; they forget about Allen G. Thur
man ''the noblest Roman of them all"
[cheers;l yes, they forget about these men
and they forget that the old Democratic
party, of which these men to-day with
Cleveland and Hendricks an many more
patriots, is still the grand old party that
made this country what it is to-day.
GGreat cheering. They ask us why do
we take Grover Cleveland as our candidate
for President of this great nation? Let
me tell you, my fellow citizens, why we
take Grover Cleveland: it is because We
want him. The business men of
New York and all over the country they
want him because he will administer the
of = this government honestly
[cheersl; he will be opposed to corruption
in Office [cheers and we want him because
he will be the
FRIEND OF THE POOH MAN,
cheersl; and lastly we want him because
we don't wan and won have Jim Blaine.
lCheers. Tilden was once elected Presi-
dent of this great nation, and he was
and is a great man, a great statesman,
and one who is revered and beloved by
the people of this country, and his memo
ry will be honored and cherished long
after those who cheated him out of the
presidency are forgotten. [cheersl
The spotless mantle of purity in states
manship which Tilden once wore had de-
scended to Grover Cleveland. and
Cleveland is a child of Tlden.
He has carried IL to its
successful end the great work of reform
which Samuel j.. Tilden had begun.
lcheeH.l Then he would say a word in
relation to Thos. A. Hendricks. What
purer or nobler man could be pointed ont
to him in all the galaxy of great men in
this country OF that have ever lived in
the United States than that grand old
man from Indiana, Thomas \. Hen
bricks. [cheers. He was not only a
great man and e statesman, but a pure
and honest patriot, and one well worthy
to walk side by side with Grover Cleve-
land in the march to victory which the
Democracy has begun, [cheers. They
tell u.s. said the speaker, that we can
not elect our candidates; they tell us that
we cannot elect Grover Cleveland and
Thomas \. Hendricks, but l
want to say to you my fellow
citizens that we nominated them and we
are going to elect them
JUST AS SURE AS THE sun RISES
on election morning in November next.
Cheers. Tell us we can't elect them;
why, do you know hat to day in twenty
five out of the thirty-eight states which
compose this Union, there are Democratic
Governors [cheers, and do you think, and
do u Republican opponents think that
we cannot elect Clev Gland? l tell you we
can do it and we are going to do it in spite
of Jim Blaine and all OF his followers,
from Maine to California [cheers, and
after we elect him we are going to see to
it that he gets his seat in the White
House; where we propose to place him by
votes and our strong right arms
if need be, Cheers. They tell
us they are going to elect
James G. Blaine, but l say to you tonight
that they are counting without their host.
They forget the onnositinn To him that hns
