We are here not indeed to choose a candidate.
but TO name one already chosen, a man of the
people His career illustrates the glory Of our
institutions. Eight years ago, unknown save in
hs own locality, he for the last four years has
stood in the gaze of the world discharging the
most exalted duties that can be confided to

subterfuge, disdaining election by conceang
his convictions, mindful Of his oath of Office to
defend the constitution, he couraReously de-
clares to congress, dropping minor matters,
that the supreme issue is reform. revision and
reduction OF national taxation; that the treas
ury Of the United States, glutted
with unneeded gold, oppresses industry,
embarrnsses business. endangers financial
tranquility, and breeds extravagauce centrali-
zation and corruption; that high taxation was
vital only for the expenditures Of an unparal-
leled war; that the millions that pour
into the treasury come from the hard-earned
savings Of the American people; that In viola
ton Of equality of rights the present tariff has
created privileged class who, shaping legisla-
tion for their personal gain, levy by law con
tributions for the neccssarles OF life from every
man. woman and child in the land; that TO
lower the tariff is not free trade. Ib is 20 reduce

DON'T MEAN FREE TRADE.
The man who asserts that to lower the tariff
means free trade, insults intelligence. We
brand him as a falsifler. II is furthest from our
thoughts to imperil capital or disturb enter

AN EFFECTIVE DELIVERY.
Mr.. Doughertys speech was delivered
with fine effect, in his best style, and aroused
unbounded enthusiasm When he men
toned the name of President Cleveland or
referred TO his public acts and utterances,
the convention fairly shouted itself
hoarse Delegates mounted chairs
waved their hats, their canes
and handkerchiefs. Ten thousand specta-
tors Joined in the applause, and the band in
the east gallery helped along with horns
and drums, but their blare and noise could
scarcely be heard above the general din.
As Mr.. Dougherty finished his impassioned
speech some one in the west gallery tore
aside a curtain which had hid portrait Of
President Cleveland upon the face Of the
great picture of the capitol building, re-
vealing TO the gaze of the convention the
we'll known features of the President
ENTHUSIASM AT FEVER HEAT.
The picture aroused the enthusiasm Of the
convention TO fever heat for the first time
during its proceedings. The hall was at
once Illlbl WIN Sueei blirSi oiiA Sii@ -
body Of people in the auditorium,
balcony and galleries arose and stood shout
ing at the top Of it's voice until the din
became almost deafeling. Hats were
thrown in the air. red bandanas
waived from thousands of hands, while
black and gray hats were frantically thrust
upon canes and waved until the owners
became exhausted. Some one on the stage
crowned the bust Of the President, on the
loft OF the chairman, with a laurel wreath,
which was the signal for still wilder burst
of shouts and cheers than before.
Although the full band Of sixty pieces was
in full blaze all this time, not a sound from
it's trumpets could be heard. The climax
Of this great scene was reached when the
banners OF all the states were borne by the
delegates 10 the New York standard and
draped about it. At this the enthusiasm was
unbounded. Spectators and delegates tore
red, white and blue bunting from the pillars
and from the face of the balcony, and
waved these improvised bandanas all over
the rail for ten minutes. This remarkable
outburst did not cease until everybody was
absolutely exhausted 1t was twenty-four
minutes before the chair was able TO regain
control OF the convention.
