BAYARD PLACED IN NOMINATION
When the State of Delaware was called there
was an immediate outburSt of cheers. After
the uproar had subsided, George Gray of Della
ware came to the platform and addressed the
Convention. He said he had been instructed to
present the name of man worthy to receive |
the nomination. He did so under the realizing
the Convention to act so that the great opportu-
nifty which God himself he reverently believed
had given them, should not pass away unim-
proved. The Republican nomination had flung
defiance into the face of American manhood
and had shocked the consciences of the best
men in that party. Such nomination was !
sign of decadence of that great party, not sign
of increasing strength. The Democracy called
for a candidate who has been tried in the bal
ance and never found wanting. The Democracy
demanded statesman whose wisdom and eX-
81 |
whose chivalric courage wonld never falter and
who could and would bring to the dust the
"plumed knight of false pretenses and of per
sonal dishonOr. 1t demanded man of private
character, which would defy the malignant |
tongue of SANDER. 1t demanded man who
should be in his public and private character
the very antlthesls and opposite OF the nominee
OF the Republican party. The man who was
this and more, and whose name was now leap
ing from their hearts to their mouths, was
Thomas f. Bayard. Loud cheers. Mr.. Bay
ard, as candidate, would make no mistakes
His name would still the voice of the nation
he would carry every doubtful State,
publican States doubtful Enthusiasm would
take the place of apathy, and would grow and
still grow as the leaves were growing until the
dreary November was made ripe and glorious
by the peanS of Democratic victory. Loud
cheers.
The nomination of Bayard was seconded by
Hooker of Mississippi.
a'DoNALD NOMINATED
d
Hendricks of that State came to the platform
amid loud applause. He said that the people
demanded a change i'll the management of otii-
cial affairs and if the Convention would give
them that opportunity they would execute the
purpose in the election of Il President. lCheers.
He believed that the nominee of this Conven-
ton would be chosen President of the United
States, the first inaugurated Democratic Presi-
dent i'll twenty-fOur years. lCheerS He spoke
of the official corruption of the Republican
party, and referred to Secretary Chambers re
f.pI1 lafn u |
which he said that the defalcatiOnS in one of
his bureaus would not exceed 5000, and vet
four years ago an Administration had gone
down because OF the defdlcation OF $50 600 and |
the only one. In regard to civil service reform |
he said that there were 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 fittest
men should survive. Referring to the foreign
policy OF the Government. he said it would be
beautiful spectacle of the Republic, so strong,
so sure, to lead the nations in IA movement for
permanent peace and for the relief of the peo- |
pie everywhere, from standing armies and from
wasteful war. He then came down to the main !
subject OF ms speech, and suggested for the |
consideration of the Convention citizen of the
State of Indiana. Joseph f. Mcdonald [Cheers
He sketched Mr.. McDonald's career and de- |
clared if he were in the White House no man I
who would go to see him there would find fault i
with the same frank manner No matter where I
the Democratic candidate for the Presidency {
lived Indiana had been always found true; but I
that fact should not come in judgment against ]
her. They should not say from election to
election, and from Convention to Convention
that they need not trouble about Indiana as her
vote was sure. But they must take care he | /
would say by way of Illustration. of New
York. Laughter and applause Mr. McDon- I
aid was man of good judgment and of high
character aud his name was presented by Il |
great State. He therefore presented that name
and all he asked was justice. c
General Black of Illinois seconded the nom /
natiOn of Mcdonald. They would present he I
said, Il platform which would appeal TO the /
sober judgment of the people. They also needed :
a man whose antecedents, known of all men | /
constituted a satisfactory answer to all reason
able objections They needed 4 man whose
views on all public questions could be found
without Il search warrant and determined with |
out an inqusition. Mr.. Mcdonald was such a |
man. He had favored the monetization of sill '
yer, and the saving of the Pacific coast from l
coolie servile labor. He was wise legislator J
true financier. ana a brave statesman His
record glittered with the stars of truth and all
might see its glory. Every star in il was a Dem
ocratic star and all its glores were those of the
people tCheers.l
