waged the battle except to inquire how
large the Republican majority was
The inquiry would be how went the
battle in Indiana, New York New Jer-
sey and Connecticut? Indiana asked a
nominee on the ticket and rendered to
the Democratic party fifteen electoral
votes. Grover Cleveland would be re-
elected this fall on the vote of Indiana
or he would not be reelected at all.
The safety of the how was for New York
and Indiana to clasp hands. The lines
of battle will be the same this year, as
in 1884, and the States where victory was
to be obtained were the same. "a voice
from the gallery, "How about
Oregon?'O Oregon" replied Voor-
hees; take warning by Oregon, and
rely on Indiana, and you will not be
deceived. We present to you the name
for this ticket, of man physically and
mentally strong, and endowed with
mental and physical life. The Key to
the situation is Indiana, I challenge
every candid man to say what name
can bring as many votes to the Deme-
cratic ticket as Isaac P. Gray" (Three
cheers.)
Albert q. Cox, of Georgia, seconded
the nomination of Governor Gray. He
said with thus Napoleonic strategy the
Democratic party should mass its
strength, at the key of battle, and
Indiana is the point where the fercest
| fight will rage. Ii the party should
present the Columbiad of Ohio would it
be the wisest thing to do? If we train
this great gun over in Ohio, will it do
| the execution We 50 much need it to do
in Indiana? The nomination of Allen G.
Thurman for the ce-Presidency would
lend great deal of sentiment, but it is
doubtful if it would add any great
strength to the ticket at those points
where it will be most needed. The nom
ination of Governor Gray would do for
| the party that which would make sue
cess, no longer matter of doubt. and
the convention with his name upon its
standard, would name not only the
| Democratic ticket, but it would name
the next President and Vice-President
of the United States. We must do JUS
tice to the great Democratic State of the
great west. and she demands and should
be accorded this honor.
E. E. Settle, of KENTUCKY, also Sec
onded the nomination of Governor
Gray. lie said, representing the un-
washed and unterrified Democracy
of Kentucky. he heartily seconded
the Indiana Senator's nomination
of Indiana's Democratic Governor togo
on the same ticket with that great
leader of the Democracy OF the coun-
try. Grover Cleveland. Indiana is the
| typical Democratic State of the west.
Indiana's Democracy can always be re
lied upon, and her sons have ever stood
in the foremost ranks of the country's
| Democratic statesmen. She has fur
nished the party in the past with man
who was elected to the Vice Presidency,
whose life was q shining light to the
| Democracy, and whose death took
away one of its noblest leaders and
most sterling patriots of the nation.
The memory of Hendricks will always
be green III the hearts of his country
men. The State which has done so
much for the party now should be
recognized. and presents the party with
such man as is needed, who has many
years of usefulness before him. and not
one who is trembling on the brink OF
the other world.
Nevada put Dorsey, the poetic orator,
| on the platform, and his silvery Ian
guage rippled forth in such sweet
sounds THAI delegates and the audience
roared with laughter, and sounded their
applause until their hands burned with
| friction. His State was for Cleveland
and Thurman, and his delegation en-
dorsed California, Oregon and he might
add Utah. This announcement called
the audience to its feet, and Mr.. Dorsey
was cheered with great animation. His
reference to the boosted climate of the
Pacific Coast where the fields are green
and there are orange blossoms the
whole year round earned him another
| round of applause.
Then delegate from the Northwest,
who was seated in the back part of the
hall, essayed to cut short the glowing
description of the coast by calling time.
The audience was divided, and with
cries OF go on" "Sit down, I TELL us
more" the poet of the Pacific delegatieR
stood on the platform, yainly stsiEiEg
to make himself heard. The chairman
eventually quieted the noisy delegation,
and Mr.. Dorsey requested the privilege
OF telling one more story, but his voice
was drowned by cheers. The good
humor of the speaker obtained hear
ing, and he closed with a remarkable
peroration. He alleged in his fowery
metaphor that thousand quartz
mills would pound their ponderous
pleasure next November, when the
wires would fash the news from every
village and hamlet of the coast that
Cleveland and Thurman had been
proven q popular choice. Mr.. Dorsey
would have held forth much longer, but
he paused with his right arm up
lifted, as the convention manifested
Impotence, and as he could not gain
hearing, he reluctantly retired.
Ayden. of Missouri. made an eloquent
speech seconding the nomination of
Thurman, which created good deal of
enthusiasm. He said he repre-
scented q divided delegation but
the country demanded the nomina-
ton of the grand old leader who
had fought the battle of the party
when she most needed warriors of
courage and conviction. He has ever
struck winning blows for the party, and
he is ready now to sacrifice the rest
and ease well earned. by noble life, to
respond to his party call, and we need
this taiismanic power of his name.
Governor Green, of New Jersey, said
the shores of the Atlantic reached the
call of the Pacific Coast, and New Jersey.
which brought nine electoral votes in
one hand, without makiCg any with
the other, seconded the nomination of
Allen q. Thurman. (Applause)
Raines, of New York, was greeted |
