State which he said would rive $4,000 ma

He was one made up of great

for an increase Of the tariff on wool the
inventors for law to better protect that

The Presentation of Thurmnn's Name

John w. Breckenridge OF California, who
was introduced by the chairman as the son
Of the last Democratic vice president who
was not unjusty deprived Of office, next
came to the platform. He said the dele
gates from California had been instructed to
present for the consideration Of the conven-
ton man who needed no eulogy whose
name was in the hearts OF the whole Amer
can people; man who if nominated would
be the next President of the United States.
That man was Allan G.. Thurman of Ohio.
Cheers. For more than twenty years
Thurman had been the bOdest aud abcst
advocate of Democratic doctrines and Dem
ocratc principles. The only objection urged
against him was that Ohio was au Octo-
Der State. His Teply to that was that this
was not State convention but a National
convention. 1t was observable that a part
| of the Fhio delegation refused TO participate
in the applause that greeted the rame OF
| Thurman.

After the uproar had subsidized George Gray OF
Delaware came to the platform and address
ed the convention, lie said he had been In
structed to present the name of man worthy
to receive the nomination. He did so under
realizing sense of the great responsibility
resting on the convention to act so that the
great opportunity which God himself Che
revercntly belcved) had gwen them should
not pass away unimproved. The Republi-
can nomination hal flung defiance into the
face OF American manhood aud had shocked
the conscience of the best men in the Ke-
publican party. Such nomination was the
sign of deCadeuce of that great organization.
The Democracy called for candidate who
had been tried in the balance and never
found wanting; it demanded n statesman
whose wisdom and experience wee Known
it demanded q leader whose chiVa'ric
courage would never talter aud who
could and would bring to the dust
the "plumed knight" Of false pretence
and personal dishoner; it demanded man
with a private character which would defy
the malignant tongue of SANDER; it de-
manded II man who should be in pub
lie aud private acharacter the very adnlithcsls
and opposite of the nominee OF the Repuo.
llcan party. Cheers. The man VINO was nj
this and more, and whose name was now
leaping fronfa their hearts to their mouths
was Thomas Fra els Bayard. Loud cheers.
MIR. Bayard as II candidate would make some
RopuhlI an states doubtful. Enthusiasm
would take the place of apathy and would
grow and still grow as the leaves were lalllnS

When the State OF New York waI called
there was good deal of cheering and wav-

When the State Of Indiana was called
Hendricks of that State came lothe platform
aulsd loud applause. lie said the people de-
nIaLdcd a change in the management OF the
Federal affairs and that if the convention
would give them half an opportunity they
would execute that purpose in the election
# President the coming fall He believed
the nominee of this convention would be-
come the chosen President of the United
States. lie spoke of the official corruplions
OF the Republican party and referred 10
Secretary Chlndlcr's recent testimony
fore the Senate committee in which he said
the deialcalions in one Of his bureaus would
not exceed 1868 900, and yet forty years
the administration had gone dOwI because
of II defalcaton of 100000, and that the
only one. In regard to the civil service he
said there were men Of ability N the public
service and he would not ask that they
should be driven out Of Office. None hut
such should be continued. Referring to the
foreign policy OF the government he said it
would he n beautiful spectacle ii this R-pub-
lie, 50 strong and 50 secure, should lead the
nations in the movement for permanent
peace and for the relief Of people every
where from standing armies and waselul
war. lie then came down to the main
subject of his speech and suggested
for the consideration OF the Conven-
ton citizen of the State OF In-
diana, Joseph Z. Mcdonald. He sketched
McDJnalds career and declared that il he
were IN the White House no nan who would
90 to zee him there would find fault with the
candid and frank manner IF his reception.
He did no, speak for himself alone or for
Mcdonald alone, but for the great State OF
Indiana, which had instructed its deleg atcs
to present McDonald's name to the great
convention. No matter where the Democrat
ic candidate for the Presidency lived, Indiana
had been always touhd true, but that faith
should not come in judgment against her.
Mcdonald was man of good judgment and
of high character and his name was present
ed by Il great State. He therefore presented
that name and all he asked was justice.
