his fellow Democrats. Notwithstanding
the fact that he had said he
was not a candidate. "You might
ask" continued Mr.. Mcdonald. "why you
were nominated in face of that fact. We
are here to answer that question.
You had been tried so often
in-6ther positions of trust and honor that
we felt confident that you would make
standard bearer who would fill all the
conditions called for by the occasion.
'.1he populace has united with us in
rendering this nomination to you. To
the people, the Democratic party has
never been recreant. In its
nominations, it always obeys their will,
and the people are never recreant to the
Democratic party. TneY always elect to
the Governors chair those whom it nomi-
mates.
"The honor conferred upon you, the
highest in the gift of the party in the
state is second only to that which
is the highest in the Republic.
Victory awaits us with Grover
Cleveland at the head of the Democratic
ticket. New Jerseys Democracy is sure
to triumph at the coming election. Com
ing to administer justice In the strong
hold of Democracy you have come among
friends There are no chickering's among

true men of Hudson will rally around
you. Hudson will be true to you. New
