ticket, he said, is not like ticket with
tail; it is all head, and can run either
way. Cleveland did not have to pack
the convention, for all the delegates
were of one mind long before
they went there. There were many
men who wanted to be vice president,
but when Allen G. Humans name
was mentioned every state at once COM
blned on him, knowing that there
was no other man who could fill
the bill. When these two men
more than half won. Mr.. Wilson
went into President Cleveland's bust
ness methods and showed how correct
they were. He touched at some length
upon the evil effects of high protective
tariff, as advocated and foStered by the
Republican party, showing that it
caused hard times, making the poor man
poorer, and causing trouble and financial
ruin to come upon nearly all business
men. Another reason why we
should win, continued Mr. Wilson, is
because President Cleveland has raised
the standard of political honesty. Mr..
Wilson illustrated some of the peculiar
methods of the Republican administra-
ton by humorous stories, which cap
tured the audience. The Republicans
who expected to see class rule when
cleveland came in have been disap-
pointed. and are well pleased with the
man. We have too much at stake now
to take things easy, SO let US go in to
win.
A SALUTE FROM SMITH.
Hon. Seagrave Smith was next intro
duced. He had come to rejoice and not
to speak, he said, but as long as he was
called out he would say few words.
The Democratic convention had nomi-
mated good men, the best men
These men have been tried and
have not been found wanting.
Every man must admire them who adj
mires honesty, integrity, courage and
truthfulness. Mr.. Smith entered into
the details of the good work that Presi-
dent Cleveland had done, and recited
many of the abuses that he had re-
formed. Thurman he characterized as
a man of the people. man who
had been always opposed to mo-
nopolles in every way, shape and man
ner. No better men. the speaker said
in closing, could have been chosen by
the saints in heaven than Cleveland
and Thurman. No respectable Repub-
man, nor charged they are anything
THE ORIGINAL BANDANA.
A. B. Winston, chairman of the St.
Louis delegation, was next introduced.
He was too tired, he said. to make an
address, but he was glad to see such a
large audience present. He exhibited
the original red bandana that was first
waved at the st. Louis convention, and
retired amid deafening applause.
Col. w. w. Glenn was the next
speaker. He was roundly cheered as
he stepped to the footlights. He said
he would, before the campaign closed,
show his appreciation of the delegation
who went to st. Louis from Minneapolis.
ONE OF THE BOYS.
Judge Isaac Atwater was called to
come forward on the stage from the
audience. He refused, saying that he
was lone of the boys" and would speak
from the floor. He did not know why a
ratification meeting should be held he
said, as the whole American people
had already ratified the nomina-
ton of Grover Cleveland and
Allen G.. Thurman. l have lived
here thirtynine years, said he, and l

vention ever held here. l can remem-
