He further kindly reminded them that not only that great and good citizen Grover Cleveland had bis eye on them but the entire north and south stood with bsted breath and wal ed the issue of their deliberations. And by wy of giv ng a lit le job to some 10 the openly prOfessed aspirEnts for office, he declared It 10 be the right and privilege of the convention tO put in nomination m n whose mOdesty had forbidden a public announcement. This st the conv' ntion to wondering what kind Of an office the committee charm an was mOdestly making 6 bid for.
