Ing. Grover Cleveland needs no eulOgy
at my hands Why, Cleveland in retire.
ment was as great as Grover Cleveland In
public life. Every utterance he has made
has thrilled the American people. although
he Is not backed by his own State. lie Is
too large man for the confines of even so
large a State as New York. Though his
State disinherited him. like 1vanhoe, the
country took him up and he was almost
unanimously nominated.
MAJOR r. p. HAMMOND.
l have but very little wind left to speak to
you tonight. having used it all in cheering
from my heart because the friend of the
young Democracy, the friend of right and
principle, was elected at Chicago yesterday,
but / wish to join my voice with yours in
praise of our candidate. 1t was a question
as to whether purity could triumph over
politics. whether right could beat machine
politics.
We are here not only to ratify the omi-
nation Of Cleveland. We are here to raIify
his election. Cheers. We don't need any
tinpans. We don't need any music because
we have the choice Of the people, the
apostle of right ana principle = Grover
Cleveland. Boys. at the last election the
Republican papers shouted for Baby Nc
Kee What is the matter with Baby Ruth?
Next year when a visitor goes from Cali
fornia to Washington ne will see Baby
Ruth on the grass in front OF the White
House. Cleveland Is the California Blaine
of Democracy.

There was in the convention OF Chicago
no paid hiTelings to do the bidding OF their
masters. Every pulSation Of the peoples
heart was registered there and found repre-
sentatOn in the selection OF Grover Cleve-
land. The convention has not only covered
itself with glory and honOred Cleveland and
Stevenson, but it has shed additional luster
on the American name throughout the
world and proved that problty and honesty
are not among the lost arts in the country.
You will see the verdict in November VIII
be easier obtained than was the nomination
of Cleveland.
II. p. TROY.
! came here frem my home in San Rafael
to raise my voice In the general gladness
over the action of the Chicago convention,
but | did not come prepared to speak. Y0n
have done yourselves proud and your party
proud by this big celebration tonight, and
when 90 home will tell my DEMOCRATIC
friends what an ovation was rendered
Cleveland.
JOSEPH e. o'DoNNELL.
The great voice of the Democracy has
come TO us from the Illinois metropolis and
we have not been disappointed in Its utter
ance. We are gratiied By the tidfngs 1t
brings, that another opportunity will be
afforded US to express by our suffrage the de-
votion we feel for that neblest type OF
Democratic manhood, Grover Cleveland.
Our opponents tell US that the result OF
the campaign of 1892 will be repetition OF
that OF 1883. They endeavOr to deceive
themselves with that vain hope, but they
cannot forget that the incumbent has fallen
instead Of risen in the estimation OF the
masses, while on the other hand the eXpe-
rlence of such an outrageous measure upon
the workingman as the Mckinley bill has
educated the people up to the standpoint
toll hu fpdapandaut and fearless
champion of tariff reform, Grover Cleye-
land.

scious Of it," The Republican party Is

GCheersl What contrast does the great
meeting of tonight present TO that OF the
so-caled ratification of Harrison and Reid.
III did, too, for at this time the benches
were empty and the orator was talking to
very small audiencel
JUDGE CRAIG.
You have shown what you mean by this
great demonstration. and the nomination OF
Cleveland means the success Of the Demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. Strellinger attacked the Republican
party, reciprocity aud other things, and
then the meeting adjourned with three
cheers for Cleveland and Stevenson.
