He said: With true NaLo,eonic
strategy the democratic party should
mass it, strength at the key Of the battle,
and Indiana is the point where the
tercest fgh. will rage. Ii the party
should present the Columbigd Of Ohio, it
will 90 the execution We so much need i
20 do in Indiana. The nomination of
Allen G. Thurman for vice-presideut
would lend great deaf deal of sentiment,
but it is doubtful If i. would add any
great strength to the ticke. at those
pointa where it would be most needed.
The nomination of Governor Gray
would do for the party that which
ter Of doubt, and the convention would,
with his name upon is standard, name
not only the democratic ticket, but would
name the next president and vice-presi-
dent of the United States. We must do
Justice TO the great democratic state of
the great west. She demands and should
be accorded this honor.

that he represented a divided delegation
upon the question Of the vice-presiden-
tial candidate; but he was none the less

with Allen G. Thurman as one Of the

Virginia having been called, Senator
given cordial reception. "The
old and young democracy of
the old dominion" he said,

American people, when they would speak
again IN November for Allen G. Thurman.
He described the services of Thurman to
the democratic party and to the country,
and especially commended to California's
attepti ton Humans attitude On the
Chinese question. When Thurman be-
came presiding officer of the senate Cali
fornia should send him a golden gavel
and Colorado should send him a silver
one, for he had always mainta ned the
two metals of the constitution at par. It |
was said that the grand man was old |
but no hair glistened on his brow that |
had not grown white in democratic SER
vice. The years that circled around his !
head had each Of them left il its track |
new ring of glory.

banner, with its huttering red bandGna,
was caught up by two excited delege'e'
and borne to the stage, where it was waved
.rsniically. During the continuance Of
he demonstration some one tied red
2andana about the neck of the
Dust OF Cleveland, in the rear
Il the stage, ard cheers
