THE SECOND!
After the storm had at length been
quieted, James A. Mckenzie, OF
Kentucky, took the stand to second
the nomination of Cleveland. There
was, he said, within the broad limits of
the great land but one more popular
than Grover Cleveland, and that was
the queenly woman he had made his
wife. daughter and long continued
applause). The White House was pre-
sided over by the uncrowned queen of
our Republic. He (McKenzie) was not
going to let Mrs. Cleveland out of this
campaign. In hoe Signo vinceS. Gap

the national race by neck. He was
about to run again and the bulletin
board would show an eclipse first, and
the rest now here. Mckenzie then
eulogiz d Cleveland's administration in
a pleasant manner, which secured for
him much applasse and laughter.
Ii. D. D. Twiggs, of Georgia, also sec
onded Cieveland's nomination. He
said the great State of Georgia was
proud TO SecOQ0 the name OF grover
Cleveland. Monopoly has said to the
South: "You are poor; build up your
interests; protection has made us rich,
it will also ma3e you rich" Georgia
has sent back her answer from a million
people: 1--WE say that we do not care to
get rich by making the poor of the ma
ton poorer" This convention will be
but ratification NEE ting, to speak the
sentiments of the sovereign people who
have already spoken, and we come here
to place before the country the already
chosen standard bearer, Grover Cleve-
land. He has reclaimed those pledges
of the past, and no new ones are neces-
sary now.

but no response came until Illinois was
