notification committee stepped to the front
Of the stage and facing Mr.. Cleveland de-
hYered the notification address.
Chairman wills nson'ssspeech.
Chairman Wilson of West Virginia in the
course Of his remarks said:
Besides bringing the notification from the
Democratic party tile committee is also charged
with the duly OF presenting its platform of prfn-
epes, which IN all Of its UtIelauce is merely
the development OF that one great principle That
whatever gov rnments ana laws can do for
people must be done fOr all the people without
precedence OF section or grades OF citizenship.
The Democrats plant themselves upon The prin.
Government are
tie beginning aud epd Of just taxation and
against the tendency OF tbe Capitalization OF
political power In the Federal Government, and
the c nlralizati0n OF wealth In favor of classes.
-Four years ago" said Wilson, " In the midst
OF a career deserving OF lhe highest honoFs aud
which VIII receive The highest encomIums
that history can award, you struck down
because, as Democrat, you could make no
terms with those who wished TO punder the
peoples treasury ana perpetuate the passions
Of civil strife. Your counIrYneD Will right that
wrong. They lave seen the attempt to turn tie
gratitude Of the nation into an electiOneerlug
fund for a political patty, and your service 10
that party In conflicts Of peace count for more
than service 10 he country in conflicts OF war.
They have seen every power OF the Federal ad-
mInisTaliOn used TO destroy free elections In the
States We can assure you there no weary
or despOndent Democrats In the ranks to-day
and with the peoples cause as cur cause doubt
not that you will lead us 10 glorious triumph"
During Chairman Wilson's address Mrs.
Cleveland, who had been detained, strOve to
enter the hall unObserved, but the audience
with enthusiasm. In the very midst of
Wilson's speech three cheers were given for
Mrs. Cleveland, and when a voice from the
gallery proposed three cheers for Ruth the
enthusiasm reached such a height that the
chairman was obliged momentarlly 10 sus-
pend his remarks. Cleyelard's yisage dark
eDed with dlspleasuTe, but even his fTown
was pOwerless to check the enthusiasm of
American chiyalry, and il was fully min
ute before the enthusiasm exhausted itself
hal
address the secretary read the formal noti-
fcation letter TO Mr. Cleveland.
The Official Letter.
The address says: Nothing could evince
the affection and confidence IN which Cleye-
land is held by the Democratic party more
positively than the fact that he was three
times made It's candidate for the PTesi-
dency. His devotion to the principles Of
the party of Jefferson, his fidelity TO eyery
trust reposed by the people, his courageous,
conservative and exemplary admnistra-
ton, and the prosperity of the country
Hereunder. won for him the respect OF every
citizen. In the maintenance Of the doctrines
he so clearly expounded, and which formed
the basis of the declaration of principles
formulated by the Democratic convention
which again placed him in nomination, rests
the hope OF the people for a constitutional
government"
The address. declares that Cleveland's
nomination "is welcomed by every man
who feels the burden Of unjust taxation
and the distress Of unwarranted legislative
interference with the rights Of the citizen,
and most heartily congratUlates the country
upon the opportunity presented by his can
didacy for return to the methods and
measures of that party which has and will
ever administer the Government for the
good Of the country and in the interests of
the entire people"
Mr.. Cleveland then faced Chairman VIII
son and said
NJ. CIeve1and's Reply.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen: The message
you deliver from the national Democracy arouses
within me emotions which would be well-nigh
Overwhelming II / did not TecOguize here as
sembed tie representatives OF the great patty
VITO must share with me the respOnsi sibillty your
mission Invites. / find much relief IN fhe re-
fectiOn that ! have been selected merely 10
stand for the principles and purposes to witch
nv party is pledged, and for tile enforcement
and supremacy OF which all who have any right
TO claim Democratic fellowship must constantly
and perslstently labor.
Our party responsibility is indeed great. We
assume a nOmcDtOus obligation TO our country
men. In return for their trust and confidence
We promise them the rec iication OF their wrongs
and tie better realization of The advantages
which are due TO them under our free aud bench
cent Institutions. But II our responsibility fs
great. our party is strong. IL Is strong In its
sympathy with The needs OF the peoplr; In Its
inslstenee upon he exc else OF governmental
powers strictly within the constitutional per
mission that the people have granted, and in the
willingness TO FISK It's life and hope upon the
people 5 IDIellSebce ana Patriotism. Never has
q great party, intent upon tie promotion OF
right ana justice, had better incentive for
effort than Is now presented 10 us. Turning
our eyes tn the lain people Of the land,
see them burdened consumers with
tariff syIem that unjusiy and relentessly
demands from them IN The purchase OF the neces-
sagies and comforts OF life, an amount scarcely
net by the wages OF hard aud steady toll, While
tie eXactiOns thus wIung from them build up
and Increase The fortunes Of those for whose
b n fL this injustice Is perpetuated We see the
farmer listening 10 the deiusiye story that fills
his mind with visions OF advantage while his
pocket is robbed by Tie stealtby hand OF high
protection. Our wotkiDgmen are still told The
tale oft repeated in spite Of its demonstrated
falsiiy. that lhe eXls Ing protective talf Is
boon 10 them, and that under lis benehcent
operation their wages must increase. Willie
they lit n scenes enacted In the very abld-
ing place Of high protection that mock lhe hopes
oil Toll and attest the lender mercy that The
worklngBan receives from those made selfish
and soidld by unjust governmental laYoIitism.
Opposition To Protection.
We oppose earnestly and stubbOrnly the theory
upon which cur opponents seek 10 justify and
uphold tie existing tarln laws We need not
base our attack upon questions ot constitutional
permission or iegiSiaiiYr bower. We denounce
the theory upon the highest grounds when
contend that 10 its present condition It's operation
is Unjust. aud that lie iaN= enacted in accord.
