arose in the delegation of Montana and

Mr.. Chairman-So far rs the nomi-
nation OF the President is concerned, this
convention was but n ratification meeting
TO ratliy the nomination already made by
the people OF the United States-a nomi-
nation which will be confirmed at the
polls in November as sure as the sun goes
| down. For the name OF Grover Cleveland
was the near synonym Of success. And
he will hold the fort that he captured four
years ago. Who will they put up against
him? Their most magnetic man has al
ready pulled the plumes out OF his bonnet
and taken his glove out OF the ring. Like
many another warlike Republican, the
great James G.. Blaine early learned the
| first principles OF the art OF war. lie let
some other fellow do the fighting, and he
isgoing TO let some other man do the fight
| ing this time. And he has acted on that
other great principle OF military strategy
! that you can always fall back from your
| position ii you will only start in time
! lie had to start twice before the people
| believed him. Our champion will stand
up against him or any one that they can
| put up, and they can raise no more
| glorious banner than the old bandana OF
that most illustrious citizen, Allen G..
Thurman, of Ohio, [applausel. New Mex
