THE DEMOCRATIC TRINITY.
Ohio Names It---Cleveland. Thur
man and the Red Bandana.

ST. LOUIS, June THE call for the
Buckeye state developed storm of ap-
plaUse, and Gen. Powell, of Ohio, re-
sponded as follows: 1T had been
claimed in eloquent words from this
place that the loyal state of Indiana has
now become wavering and doubtful in
her allegiance to our great party. If
this be true, let her turn for healing
faith and seek salvation from the Dem
Ocratic trinity of Cleveland, Thurman
and the red bandana. 1t has been
claimed that the universal cry for Thur
man is but sentiment of the heart. 1t
may be so, but it is the grandest senti-
ment that ever occupied the Democratic
heart. The perfect union of wisdom
and enthusiasm which has marked
the progress of this convention clearly
indicates that the time has come
which will work not only the final over
throw OF the Republican party, but the
continued succession of Democratic ad-
ministratiOns. To-day in our extreme
north along the shore of New England
there are multitudes of people speaking
the name of Thurman and uttering his
praise. Here in this splendid city are
gathered tens of thousands of enthusi-
astic and admiring friends. Thousands
of miles beyond this along the father of
waters in the extreme South the name
of Thurman is the idol of the Demo-
cratic party. You may go beyond this.
There is nothing in the political history
of our country which equals this upriS-
ing of the people, beginning in Cali
fornia, crossing the continent, and in a
few days embracing the entire Union,
in favor of tho nomination of that grand
old man,
THE GLADSTONE OF AMERICA,
Allan G. Thurman. For generation his
life has been your history. He has been
wounded and Scared upon the fields
where you suffered defeat. He was in
all the storms of the terrible years
when your party had no protection and
no shelter. This universal demand for
Thurman is but an expression of the
great truth, that the work of indorsing
the splendid administration of Grover
Cleveland and filling the place of
Thomas A. Hendricks can only be done
by the nomination of Allan q. Thur
man.

diana soon becomes a veteran soldier. A
recruit could no more stay raw in the
ranks of the Democracy in Indiana than
a recruit could stay poor unframed
soldier in the ranks of the old guard
under the hands of Napoleon. They be-
came veteraniZed soldiers. Such battles
as we wage in Indiana are happily un-
known in other states. You know
them not in Massachusetts. You know
them not in Georgia, or in any of the
other states. The majority is so set in
that conclusion is almost fOregOne. but
look at the spectacle which Indiana
presents. Four years ago she cast 1885,
600 votes. She will cast $50 900 votes at
the approaching election, and with that
enormous vote there is simply plu-
rality between the great parties of six
or seven thousand, no majority-a bare
plurality. You can imagine then what
THE SHOCK OF BATTLE
is there. You can imagine how i'm
portant it is to us to have every atom of
strength, personal and political, which
we can obtain in order to hold our hard
pressed lines. Recruit the critical point
of the battle field. if you are wise. The
key of the situation is in Indiana.
Strengthen her, you bold, brave men
whose judgments are convinced despite
the honorable sentiment that is at your
hearts. Come to the rescue of the sit
uatiOn on the battle field where the fight
is to be the hottest and the battle is to
be won, if won at all. / reflect upon no
other name that has been or will be
placed before this convention, but /
charge every candid mind to answer
what electoral vote, what state any
other name can bring to the electoral
o0lIppp QYnanf that of TSaoa ID
We do not put up man for show nor
parade, but for hard battle and winning
results. You say there are charges
against him at home and elsewhere.
Show me a man who has never had
charges made against him, and | will
show you worthless, cOlOrless crea-
ture,
UNFIT TO LEAD BATTLE
anyWhere.u l know something about
charges. But how have these charges,
whatever they may be, aud they are not
worth dignifying, how have they been
met. Isaac p. Gray was on the same
ticket with Grover CleveIand and
Thomas A. Hendricks blessed be his
memory forever. ana as strong ticket
as was in Indiana, a combination of
power evoking the enthusiasm and very
heart of your people, yet this man whom
we present to you to-day carried the
state of Indiana by a majority of eighty
eight more votes than Cleveland and
Hendricks carried it for the presidency
and the vice presidency. He has been
tried by jury of his peers, jury of
the vicinage, and the verdict has been
with him, and it will be with him again.
He will be in the ranks fighting, whether
on your ticket or not, but he is SO inter-
woven with our hopes and our organiza-
tion this year in Indiana, that his name
on the ticket becomes a guarantee of
success. | am not here to say we can
not win without him, but l am here to
say that you want to take bond of fate,
to reduce to an absolute certainty Oh the
fifteen electoral votes of Indiana, before
you leave this hall; nominate Isaac p.
Gray. with Grover Cleveland, and the
work will be done.

GEORGIA FAVORS GRAY.
Thinking as Did Napoleon That
Strength Should Be MasSed.

ST. LOUIS, June 7.-Chairman Collins
next introduced Albert S. Cox, of
Georgia. AS Mr.. Cox stepped forward
by the side of the chairman, he was
greeted with warm applause by his
friends upon the floor. He said:
"a Union man from Georgia, | arise
to second the nomination of Gov Isaac
p. Gray, of Indiana. More indeed to
the South than to any other section is
entrusted the destiny of that glorious
army which goes to the country for the
Endorsement of this administration. and
coming from here success or failure
means SO much. | beg to call to the
judgment of the convention the Napo-
leOnic rule of strategy that strength
should be massed as the key to the bat
tie. Where, if you please, will the eyes
of America rest upon that paleful day
in November? They will rest not upon
Georgia, where it is safe, but upon In
diana, where it is close: and where,
then, if we should nominate the old
Columbian of OhiO-where. then, will
fall his solid shot and shell? They will
fall upon the field where the destruction
they make will be useless. Great as his
caliber and glorious as his success has
been, | ask if you
PLANT THE OLD GUN
upon hill in Ohio, will it do the work
which we need in Indiana? Tell me
who is it that with the organization
and with the enthusiasm of Indiana be-
hind its back may carry Oh the great
battle gloriously hilt to hilt, regiment
to regiment and squad to squad. 1t is
Isaac p. Gray-with him in the field at
point where failure means lack of
that Endorsement which if given means
Democratic success aud the administra-
tion of the government for many happy
and prosperous years, and continu-
ance of fraternal sectional relations.
We are interested in that. The success
of this party means the destruction of
sensationalism, and the reelection in
the whole country of that national ad-
ministration which is guaranteed to the
section from which we hail; it means
the equality of all in this nation and an
equality of states. Therefore it is with
some enthusiasm and with a view of al
most certain success which awaits the
nomination of Isaac p. Gray that we ask
you to nominate Isaac p. Gray, of the
state of Indiana
