There were calls for Gibson Clark and
that gentleman advanced to the platform
and made q bret, clear, crisp address,
firing the first gun Of the campaign. He
heartily thanked the convention for the
honor done him and would use his best
eudeavors to merit the confidence. His
inst fealty was to the state and its people
next to the Democratic party, which he
bad seen grow from a small but sound
nucleus TO a great ORGANIZATION. 1t was
bound TO prosper and gain in strength
because it was the party of the people
and kept itself free from cliques and
rings. Mr.. Clark was vociferously ap-
| plauded.
john Z. Bailey was presented as an ex-
Vermont Republican and made a very en-
gazing talk. He was born way back ia
the Granite state, and in his early days
had voted for Buchanan and Brecken-
ridge, but had been a Republican until
the vicious protective policy had forced
him to enlist under Grover Cleveland's
banner, believing. like that great man,
that the tariff should be fixed by the
needs of the government and not tor the
benefit Of . favored class. IF we are
successful In thus campaign" said he. Il
trust this convention will never regret the
conference of this distinction upon me. l
shall labor for the best interests of the en-
tire people and to make the first assembly
a model for all others" Mr.. Bailey's re
marks were received with storms OF ap.
proving applause.

good citizens.
Mr.. Martin was brought into the hall
by a committee consisting Of +. 8. Hicks,
Joe Quincy, F. h. Jones. A. w. Hay
good. Gibson Clark and John Hunton.
He felt thankful to his friends, and said

about him and thought it would be un-
necessary to canvass if the rest of the
