NEW YORK, July 2O.-Grover Cleveland
and Adlai E. Stevenson were tonight off
cially notified that they are the choice OF
the democracy for the positions respect.
lively of president and vice president. The
notification ceremonies took place at Madi-
; son Square garden in the presence of q
crowd that surpassed in enthusiasm and
numbers the crowd that on September 6,
1888, gave greeting to Allen g. Thur
| man.
Madison avenue, Twenty sixth, Twenty
seventh streets and Fourth avenue were
crowded as early as six o'clock by a strug-
CLING mass of humanity. When the doors
were opened there was a wild rush for
seats and in ten minutes all the room
in the building that remained vacant was
the reserved seats on the platform
and the boxes. About twenty thousand
people were present. All sorts and con-
ditions were there and almost everybody
had fan, the weather being warm and
sultry. The committee had spared neither
labor nor money to make the hall attract
i've. The first balconies were hung with
rich draperies of blue and garnet velvet,
decorated with gilt. The upper balconies
were rendered attractive by numerous
coats of arms and flags.
The stage was an immense platform
backed with a gigantic sounding board,
tastefully draped with large American
flags. In the center of the board itself
two crossed American flags were surround-
ed by the illuminated letters of Cleveland
| and Stevenson arranged in a triangular
| form. While the crowd was waiting for
the candidates to appear the band played
number of lively tunes. When the names
of the candidates on the sounding board
| were lighted up shortly before 8 O'Clock
the crowd yelled itself hoarse and the
guests on the platform arose and saluted
the illumination.
Mrs. Cleveland entered her box few
| minutes later, and again the crowd broke
out. Mrs. Cleveland came to the
front of the box, and after bow
| ing and smiling retired to the rear.
| At 8:15 the white head of Adlai E. Ste
venson appeared as he climbed the steps
of the platform to join the cheering COM
mitteemen. He was accompanied by few
members of the national committee and he
stood bowling for two minutes while the
audience applauded. Shortly afterwards
Mr. Cleveland appeared, accompanied by
Colonel Wilson of Virginia, Calvin 8. Brice
and members of the national notification
committee. The people burst into deafen-
ing applause. He held out his hand for
quiet, but it came not for several minutes
and Mr.. Cleveland sank into his seat to
wait till the applause should end. When
quiet was restored Mr.. Cleveland, General
Stevenson and Governor Flower sat in
front to the right of the speakers table
Presently Mr.. Cleveland arose and Colonel
Wilson, the chairman of the meeting, noti
fed him that he had been nominated for
the presidency. The meeting was rather
noisy and only comparatively few people
heard the speaker. When half way through
his speech Colonel Wilson was interrupted
by an outburst of applause given to Mrs.
Cleveland, who had reappeared in another
part of the house in an open box. When
Colonel Wilson had finished Secretary
Nicholas Bell of the notification committee
read the official letter of notification, as
follows:
CLEvELAND's NOTIFICATION.
Grover Cleveland--As members of the
notification committee delegated by the
national democratic convention, which as
sembled in Chicago June 81, 1t is our
| agreeable duty to inform you that, upon o
| single ballot, you were unanimously nom
mated for the presidency of the United
States. Nothing could evince the affec-
| ton and confidence in which you are held
| by the democratic party more positively
than the fact that you have three times
been made its candidate for that Office.
Your devotion to the principles of the
party of Thomas Jefferson your fidelity to
every trust reposed in you by the people,
your courageous, conservative and exem-
plary administration when chief executive
of the United States, and the prosperity
| of the country under that administration,
have won for you the respect of every cit
izen.
In the maintenance of the doctrines
| which you have 30 clearly expounded and
| 30 consistently advocated, and which form
the basis of the declaration of principles
formulated by the democratic convention
which has again placed you in nomination,
rests the hope of the people for constitu
| tional government. They turn now to the
democratic party that the blessings of civic
and industrial liberty may be secured to
them; and in response to the peoples de-
mand that party has chosen for its leader
him whose public conveys the guarantee
that the will of the people will not
be thwarted.
1t is then not only with sense of pro-
found personal satisfaction, but also with
the assurance that your nomination is well
coined by every man who feels the burden
of unjust taxation and the distress of un-
warranted legislative interference with the
rights of the citizen that we inform you of
the action of the national democratic con-
vention and submit herewith Its declars-
ton of principles.
Firmly believing that there Is no other
safe repository for the liberties of the
people, and the welfare Of the
nation, than the hands Of dem
ooratic administration, we most heartily
congratulate the country upon. the oppor-
tunity presented by your candidacy for a
return to the methods and measures of
that party which has and will ever admin
lister the government for the good of our
country and in the interests of the entire
people. That our cause, the peoples cause,
will triumph we have no doubt and, judg-
ing the future by the past, the administra-
ton which you will give to the United
States will be directed by wisdom, states
manship, integrity and patriotism and
will cause your fellow democrats to regard
with the same pride and pleasure your fu-
8 ture career as president of this great re-
: public that they now enjoy in the rer4em-
!: brance of your former administration.
