81 understand that many good people
say and, no doubt, think q do not deny
the justice Of their thoughts that l an
too old laughter to run for Vice Presi,
dent" Renewed laughter
"a voice, "We'u see about that"
THOSE people who say so and who
doubtless think so do not understand the
eject upon an old Democrat Of such q
kindness as l received at your hands and
at the hands of the rest OF the Democracy
of the United States. Cheers. Why, /
feel about ten years younger at the least
calculation" Laughter and renewed !
A voice: ~ gsinsay twenty"
"Well, think it will be twenty before
twenty. Renewed laughter. Last night
stood here to spe'k to my fellow citi-
zens who came to greet me Snd, upon my
word, expecting to speak about five min
utes find spoke twenty minutes in full

Tuesday, or whatever Tuesday It is, in
October, laughter, and voice "Noven-
Der" November, mean, that should be
prancing around many perches like a
young man Just out Of his
teens. Renewed laughter and applause. !
But now, gentlemen, let me be serious
little. You know, gentlem IN Of the Ohio
delegation, that when you were kind
enough to call on me before you went to
St. Louis told you, and God knows it
was the honest truth, that l did not want
the nomination, that Whist l wsnted was
peace and quiet, but that it was i'm
possible for me to say that l would not
refuse q nomination thst would make me
q candidate at once. Therefore, surround
ed with these difficulties could conceive
II no other way
NO OTHER SOLUTION
than to place myself in your hands, and I
did so freely, honestly and Loyalty, and,
trusting that you would take care OF my
honor IS well as the interests Of the
Democratic party. [Cheers. Now, gen
tlemen, do not undertake 10 speak for
the party and say whether you have
done wisely or not, but l do
speak for myself and say
that you have done fairly and
honorably and uprighsly by me, and that
IS long IS live, shall always bear to-
wards you grateful heart and pleasant
recollection. Applause Gentlemen, 1
Thank you for what you have done, and
whether 1 shall be successful or not,
there is one thing Of which 1 cannot be
deprived, and that is the qualification of
knowing that have the
GOOD WILL OF THE PEOPLE
OF my state, and not only of the people of
Ohio, but Of the people, think, Of the
United States. Continued applause,
Now, gentlemen, do not think 1 oughE
to say anything more, for fear, as my
friend Lowenstein would say, that I
would psralyzs you. Great lsughter
l do not want to do that. II
hope that every man OF you, since you
have put me on the ticket will go to work
and work for the ticket.
"But have another word to say before
stop, and that is this: There scarcely
ever happened in the history of this world
3 sublimer spectacle than the renomlna-
ton of Grover Cleveland by the unani- |
nous voice Of the convention Great ap-
plause and say you did q wise thing |
In Thar natrfnSfr thing In that ho
people OF the United States leve bravo
love Q man
OF GOOD SOUND JUDGMENT,
and l don't know any man OF sounder
Judgment than he Is. They love Q man |
who stands up for the people, who stands |
up for principle and does not fear to take |
the consequences, and such Q man IL
Grover Cleveland. Gentlemen, 1t will be |
An honor to every man Of that st. Louis
Is long as he lives that he WAS
there to cast his vote or this worthy
President Of the United States. / thank
you and will bid you good night" Great
applause.
