Mr.. Clev, land in tow. He walked to the

MR.. CLEVELAND ACCEPTS.
The Chairman arr Gentlemen of the
Convention-your Committee has kindly
rendered me, on your behalf, the nomina-
ton of this Convention, for the Office of
Mayor of this great industrial City, the
7o~< 80 - L.
claimed that taxes are too high; that cor
ruption exists in some of the Departments
in the City Government; that
public improvements have ceased
that property does not increase in value as
fast as it should, and that the city is not
making the progress its great natural ad-
Vantages would lead us us to expect. The
committee has represented that the course
pursued by nae when Mayor more thun
twenty years ago leads this Convention to
believe that | would be able to apply
remedy for some of these causes of COM
plant. That is the spirit in which
this nomination was rendered to
me, and in that spirit accept it.
| look about this Convention and see it
filled with familiar faces representing the
best interests in the Democratic party, re-
presenting every branch Of industry, men
who pay the taxes, who support the city
government who are bound up in its
prosperity and who have known me, many
of you, for more than forty years, and
know well the course pursued during the
three terms that / had the honor to be
Mayor of this city. They we're the most
trying years this county has ever
knows, and the circumstances that
surrounded the office there were
the most trying that public officer can
possibly experience. When unanimously
nominated a fourth time, l respectfully
declined. The war was over, and / had
finished the work that had been undertaken
on behalf of our people. look far back
now through the long years that have
passed since then, with grateful sense of
the sustaining power, the moral support
SO cheerfully given, to strengthen my
hands in those trying times by
all classes of the community, and if it
shall be the will of the voters
that shall be Mayor of the city again,
shall hope for the same cordial support in
whatever may be undertaken for the bene-
fit of the city, its people and their prop
erty. did not seek this nomination, and
when the matter was first brought to my
notice I refused consent; but when Con-
vention composed of such delegates as
those who are assembled here desire the
public services of any citizen, the reason
must be strong that will justify him in
refusing. But that you should seek me
out again after so many years and make
known your public confidence and personal
regard, vs they have been made known to
nae here, has touched me more deeply than
can find words to express. l thank you
all from the bottom of my heart, and if
elected, will do the best / can, with your
kind assistance, for the welfare of the
whole city.
The Convention then adjourned to Char
ley Birdsall's bar and drank to the success
of the candidate.
