Later he cantered from post to pole, and won the New York handicap by 192.OOO feet And he was then entered against the Flor entine Mosaic from Maine, and won the national Derby by neck.

 It does not matter, gentlemen, how the oppos- ing entries on this national sweepstake shall be made up: whether it be filled out by hyper borean icicles Florentine mosaics or dark horses; when the race is run through the bulle tin board will show Eclipse first and the balance not placed
 The state of Kentucky loves Mir Cleveland for the reason that he has had the courage to storm the entrenchments of su osidy and monopoly by recommending such judicious revision of our tariff system will secure equality in the dis tribution of the public burdens and tighten the exactions of labor.

 He has had the courage to inaugurate such @ war that horrible misnomer called trust that before this national campaign shall close it will cease to be 8 popular name for dog. the presidency of the United States not per- sonal perquisite acquired by purchase dis covery or diplomacy.
 At this point the audience began to shout to the orator to talk toward them, as he ha- bitually turned half around and addressed the people on the platform back of him. Mir. Mckenzie, when Secretary Prince explained to him the cause of the outcry, good humor- edly cried to the audience: "Let me talk to these learned Thebans awhile, " and the crowd again burst into laughter and applause Re turning to the broken thread of his speech, MT. Mckenzie continued:
 
 lie office conferred by the unbought suffrages of the American people, to be administered wisely, fairly, judcially impartially honestly, in the in terest of everybody. The fact of the business is he has so much courage that it is unnecessary to enumerate its proofs. But there is one thing I waht to call special attention to.
 While others heretofore have ssent good mes- sages to congress, he has written a message to the present American congress that has about it the directness and force of Kentucky rifle and the executive ability of dynamite cartridge. In legal parlance it had about the energy of a capias prevenire and the force and effect of a plevin. Now gentlemen, this is the only instance in the history of American politics where we have had man who furnishes in his person a first class candidate and @ thoroughly Democratic platform. He has done his duty and let us do ours. want every Democratic male and female within the body of this, the most magnificent deliberative hall in the world consecrated to the nobleSt purpose outside of the Christian religion,
 
 closed these exercises with a Democratic benedic- lion, and if it shall please God to provide that in addition to Grover Cleveland one of the guidons along the color line of the Democracy in it's march to victory should be the red bandanna (great appause) there will be all the greater reason for their rejoicing in the great work we have accomplished.
 In conclusion, Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen, | move to suspend the rules and make the nomina- | ton of Grover Cleveland, for president of the l ohS ,talxr 1T continued applause).
 | MT. Mckenzie was congratulated by many | of the delegates as he descended from the | rostrum.
 Senator Dan Voorhees, fought for an ad- iournment to 10 a. m. of Thursday. | Mir. Baughman, of Maryland, favored the motion to adjourn, and called attention to l the fact that distinguished members of the convention were absent on the committee on l resolutions.
 At 1:5S p. m. MT. White, of California, the l sx-temporary chairman, made rattler of @ | speech, in which he stated that the committee on the platform had not completed their labors. He was willing to trust his candi- date's chances to another day, and agreed | with his friend, the ''Tan Sycamore" i" in ask ing for an adjournment to 10 o'clock Thurs day, and it was, after debate, so ordered.
 The subcommittee of the committee on resolutions kept up their deliberations until 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and at that hour, almost worn out by the fatigue of de- bate, deferred further consideration until 9 | o'clock. The discussion in committee was con- fined solely to the tariff. Each member had been furnished with number of blanks for presentation, but none of them figured in the | proceedings The committee held long session yesterday and while some progress l was made, the platform was far from being completed.
 The proposition to embody a plank looking | to the free coinage of silver, which was in- dorsed by the Watterson faction, was de- feated; the German faction carried, by a vote of 25 against 20, the proposition to re- adopt the entire platform of 1884. Senator German presented 0 platform for | iteration of the platform of 1884, and sup ported the proposition in a speech of more than an hour. He pleaded for the acceptance of the measure on the ground of expediency, and argued that with 8 positive declaration for free trade the Democracy could not hope | to carry New Jersey, Connecticut and In- diana. In order to win, he said, it was neces- sary that the party should be united, and a careless statement of the party's position on the tariff question would drive away large part of the advocates of protection. MT. w atterSon Sald ne could not support Mr. Gormans platform. He was willing to make concessions for the good of the party, but he did not want the party to go before the country with equivocal declaration upon the great subject of the hour. He would sacrifice doctrine to expediency, but he would not sacrifice principle. The presidents mes sage had committed the party to free trade, and any declaration that was not in accord with the message would discredit the party. It would place the party in the position of having withdrawn from a stand once taken.
 He would accept the platform that the sena-
 tor had proposed, with some notifications,
 and those would be in the direction of an
 earnest and positive indorsement of the mes.
 sage. He wanted the plank in the platform
 so simple thnt child could understand it.
 He asserted that an equivocal declaration
 would not have the effect of uniting the
 party. It would exaggerate the dissensions
 now existing. The platform of 1884 was pro-
 posed and carried as matter of expediency. 1t was said Slen that the Democrats wanted to get into power. Let them get into power,
 and then they would declare for free trade.
 They were in power, and now the opportunity
 had come
