penditure of the money of the people, the waste
of the public domain, and unconstitutional and
tyrannical force. His iron Will has put
the knife to corrupting extravaganza and COM
PEELED return to comparative purity of the adj
ministration. Earnest in purpose, pure in life,
a trained tribune of the people and a thorough
statesman, no favor sways him and no fear can
awe. This man, Her son, Pennsylvania, pre-
sents to the Democracy OF the Union here as
sembled in convention as her candidate for the
mighty Office of president of the United states,
in the person of Saml. j. Randall. Cheers.
Mr. Cleveland of New York-Mr. Chairman,
upon the call of roll of states yesterday, when
| the name of New Jersey was called she was 81
lent, but on behalf Of portion of the delega-
ton from New Jersey it is desired that Gov.
! Abbott of that state, shall now second the name
of Hon. Saml. j. Randall cheers and l re-
! specially ask from this convention unanimous
consent for that seconding.
Geo. Albeit, of New Jersey seconded the
nomination of Randall. He said that there was
conviction in the land that if wisdom controls
the counsels of the Democratic party in making
platform broad enough for every Democrat to
stand upon, and in placing upon it a candidate of
trGnscendent ability and pure life, lies in
the result of their deliberations. He believed
! that Sam'l j. Randall as the candidate would
reach the controlling vote in the pivotal states
more certainly than any other of the distinguished
| men named. lie asked where does success lie?
! Not in Minnesota, not in Iowa, other of the
confirmed Republican states, but in these
! close states, which were carried
! by Tilden in 1876. He reviewed the arguments
argued for Cleveland and said these all applied
| to Thurman Bayard and others. Then what ex-
cuse in putting aside these grand Democratic
! veterans for a new man. The record OF Randall
is pure and bameless, while his public career for
| twenty years has been in behalf of economical
and honest government. There are practical eff
forts for reform. Randall would sweep New
Jersey like a great political cyclone. He is the
! friend of laborers everywhere, and the conVen-
ton could do 10 better than to nominate him.

states of Tennessee Texas, Vermont, Virginia,
| and West Virginia. were called without any re-

states. When Wisconsin was called, Mr.. Delany
| of that state said:

taken in the Wisconsin delegation, a majority of
that delegation desire to second the nomination
