The morning call., 1892-06-23


delegates who would otherwise PRESENT. the name
OF some distinguished leader OF their own State
with whom they feel victory would be assured.
The people have spoken, and favOriie sons and
leaders are standing aside in obedience TO their
will. Shall we, for any consideration Of policy
or expedency, hesitate to obey their WHIP
have sublime faith in the expression Of the
people. When It is clear and decisive 1t is In
eumbent upon US to obey their wishes Then,
having given them the candidate OF their choice,
they VIII give US their most energetic efforts 10
secure success. We confidently rely upon the
loyal and successful work OF the Democratic
leaders who have advocated other candidates.
We know in the great State Of New York, now
controlled by the Democratic party, there IS no
Democrat who VIII shirk his duty In making
every effort to secure The success Of the candi-
date of this convention, Notwithstanding his
judgment may differ from that OF the majority
The Democracy OF New York and It's great
leaders, whose efforts and splendid geDeralsbip
have given US a Democratic Senator and Gov
ernor, Will always be true to the great party they
represent, and their unquestioned Democracy
VIII make them rise up and light as never be-
fore, and with those they represent and lead they
viii marshal the great independent vote and We
Will again secure Democratic victory In New
York.
The grand Democrats under whose leadership
the city and Stale OF New Yoik are now gov
eTned Will give 10 the cause lie great weight OF
their organizations. he numbering echoes OF
this convention announcing the nomination OF
Grover Cleveland VIII not have died out before
you VIII hear and see ali our leaders rallying to
Ihe support of our candidate. All Democrats
will fight for vic CRY and they will succeed be-
eau sc the principles OF the party as announced
here are for the bes. interests OF the county
and because the people have unauestioning
faith that Grover Cleveland will give the country
and aINF NNVna nt
administration In which the sIeat business In
terests Of the country Will receive proper ana
due consideration.
The question has been asked why IL IS that the
masses Of The PARTY demand the nomination OF
Grover Cleveland. 1t is because lie has crystal
LIED into living issue the great principles upon
which the battle is to be fought at the coming
election. II he did not create tarif reform he
made IL a Presidential issue. yltalized 1t and pre-
scented IL to The parry as tile Issue for which we
could fight and continue 10 battle, until upon 1t
victory now is assured. There are few men IN
bis position who would have the courage TO
boldly make the issue and present 1t so clearly
ana fOrcibly as lie did In his great message In
1887 We must honor the man who Is honest
enough aud bold enough, under such cireum-
Stances 10 proclaim That the defeat OF the party
upon its principles is better than the evasion Of
the true national Issues for temporary success.
There is another reason why the people de-
mand his denomination. They feel that the tariff
reform views of President Cleveland and The
principles laid down In his great message give
Us a living and vital issue 10 fight for which has
made great victories since 1888 possible. 1t
cOnsOidates 10 one solid phalanX the Democracy
OF the nation. In Massachusetts It gave us Rus
sell, in Iowa II gave US Boes, IN Wisconsin Il
gave US Peck for Cover nor and Villas for Sena-
tor In Michigan II gave us Winans for Governor
and gave us Democratic Legislature and Will
give US the right electoral votes for the Presl-
dent. In 1891 TO defeat him it required the
power OF wealth and the machinery OF the entire
Republican party. 10 Pennsylvania It gave us
Pattison; IN Connecticut 1t gave US Demo-
cratic Governor, who was kept out of office by
the Infamous conduct OF the Republican party.
Iu Illinois II gave us Palmer for Senator and In
Nebraska Il gave us Boyd for Governor In the
great state Of New York it gave us David B.
Hill for Senator and Roswell Z. Flower for
Governor. Win all these glorious achievements
ii Is The wisest Tarty policy &c nominate again
the man whose policy made these successes pos-
sbie.
] feel that every Democratic state and every
individual Democrat has reason 10 rejoice and
applaud these splendid successes. The candi-
dacy of Grover Cleveland is not reflection upon
others; 1t is not antag0nistic 10 any great Demo
cratic leader. He comes before this convention
not as a candidate OF any one State. He Is the
choice of the great majority Of The Democratic
voters.
The Democracy of New Jersey therefore pre-
SCENTS TO this convention IN this, the peoples
year. as the nominee Of the people. the plain,
blunt. honest citizen, The idol OF the Democratic
masses, Grover Cleveland.
The hrst mention OF Cleveiand's name, as
indeed all subsequent mentions, was re-
ceived with storms Of applause. and in the
first instance the clamOr continued 10 minutes
and the chairman made sundry fruitless at
tempts to procure order. Several life-siZed
portraits Of Cleveland were placed in view
at various points, and as each one arose
above the heads Of the people fresh wave
was added 10 the ocean of sound.
Governor Albeit proceeded with his re-
marks until he came 10 an allusou to Sena-
tor David B. Hill THIS was signal for an
outburst of enthusiasm from the New York
delegation. Governor Albeit could not
continue his remarks or be heard for at
least % minutes. whereas when Cleve-
lands name was mentioned the New
York delegation remained glum and
silent. Now under the inspiration
of HIPS name they arose and
waved everything they could lay hands on.
Portraits OF Hill were produced, and there
was an evident determination on the part Of
the Hill men to equal the Cleveland dem0u-
stration. While the demonstration was at.
its height one Of Chieago's thunderstorms
passed over the Wigwam and emphasized
the demonstration for Hill. A Cleveland
man sang out, "Hurrah for Grover" He
was Instantly assaulted by Hill man, and
the police were summoned TO Quell the dis
turbance. The confusion was intensified
by the thunderstorm, which poured down
torrents of rain upon the open roof and
soon drenched the vast assemblage. The
chairman had to abandon his position at the
desk on account of the down. pouring tor
rent, and umbrellas were raised everywhere
