service as Chief Magistrate. We beg to con-
graduate you upon this hearty and unanimous

10 Honorable Grocer Cleveland of Neu York
SIR: The delegates to the National Demo-
cratic convention representing every State and
Territory of our Union, having assembled in
the city of ST. Louis on June ). inst. for the
purpose of nominating candidates for the
Offices of President and Vice-President of the
United States, it has become the honorable
and pleasing duty of this committee
to formally announce to you that,
without a ballot. you were, by reclamation,
chosen as the standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party for the Chief Executiveship OF this
country at the election TO be held in Novem-
Der next. Great as is such distinction under
any circumstances, it is the more fattering
and profound when it is remembered
that you have been selected as your
own successor to an Office, the duties
Of which, always onerous, have been rendered
OF an extraordinarily sensitive. difficult and
delicate nature because or change of polite
al parties and methods after twenty-four
years of uninterrupted domination. This ex-
altation is if possible, added to by the fact
that the declaration of principles-based upon
your last annual message to the
Congress of the United States rela-
tive to a tariff reduction and
sdimfnution of the expenses of the Government
throws down the direct and defiant challenge
-f'for an exacting scrutiny of the administration
of the executive power, which four years ago
WAS committed in its trust to the election of
Grover Cleveland President of the United
States, and for the most searching inquiry con-
corning its fidelity and devotions to the pledges
which then invited the SURFACES Of the peo-
ple."
An engrossed copy OF that platform, adopted
without a dissenting voice, is hereby rendered
you. In conveying, sir, to you the responsible
trust which has been confided to them, this
committee beg, individually and collectively,
to express the great pleasure which they have
felt at the results attending the National con-
vention of the Democratic party, and to offer to
you their best wishes for official and personal
success and happiness. We have the honor,
Six. to be your obed;ent servants.
