He felt honurrd, hr said, by the nominations
aud felt grateful To his iulcnd>, by whose assist.
aIcc il was made possible. The offices belong
To the people and they name whom they please
and 50 it came about, without any special re-
quest on his part, that the Democrats of Har-
ford sent to the Congressional Convention five
noble aud true men. The nomination is there
fore Hartford cOunty's, not his own, and what
ever honor had come 10 him was what the

bea needless task, he continued, to tell you
what manner of man Col. Stump is. You all
know his noble and generous qualities. The
only thing the newspapers could say in his dis
paragcment was that he is a bachelor. Once
upon time the people sent the bachelor Grover
I Cleveland to the White House, but he didn't re-
main bachelor very long. Col. Stump had
pledged his support to the Cleveland admins

would follow Clcveand's example We will
send him 10 Congress q bachelor and he will re-
turn married man The united Democracy

tones in favor of the nomination of Col. Stump
