faithful service to the party, and whose
contriputlons to its successes entitle 1t
to the respectful consideration Of the
Democracy OF the union. It's electoral
vote has always been cast in the sup
port OF Democratic principles and Demo-
cratic candidates.
voice the unanimous wish of the del
egation from New Jersey when pre-
sent as their candidate for the suffrage
OF the convention, distinguished Dem
ocratic statesman, born upon its soil,
ior whom. in two great presiden-
tial contests, the state of New
Jersey has given it's electoral vote.
ne represents great Democratic prin-
ciples and a policy upon which the en-
tire convention Is a unit. We believe
that with him as our candidate, the
Democracy OF the union will sweep the
country and establish its principles
throughout the land. We offer to the
convention as our nominee, the choice
| OF the Democracy OF New Jersey-Grover
Democratic state, though ita preferences
may be for some other distinrnished
Democrat, will give its warm. enthusi-
astic and earnest support to the nominee
ct this convention.
The man whom we present will rally
to the party thousands OF independent
voters whose choice Is determined by q
personal conviction that the candidate
will represent principles dear to them,
and whose public life and policy give
assurance that they will secure an hon
est, pure and conservative administra-
tion, and the great interests OF the
country be encouraged and protected.
We stand today in the presence of the
fact that the majority of the Democratic
masses throughout the country, the
millions OF voters, demand the nomina-
ton OF Grover Cleveland. This senti-
ment, 30 strong and overpowering, has
affected and controlled the actions of
delegates who would otherwise present
the name OF some distinguished leader
OF their own state, with whom they feel
that victory would be assured. The
people have spoken, and iavorite sons
and leaders stand aside in obedience to
their will. Shall we, for any considera-
tion OF policy or expediency, hesitate to
obey their will?
Ihave sublime faith in the expression of
the people when it is clear and decisive.
1t iH incumbent upon us to obey their
wishes; then, having given them the
candidate OF their choice, they will give
us their most energetic efforts to secure
success. We confidently rely upon the
loyal and successful work of the Demo-
cratic leaders who have advocated other
candidates. We know that in the great
etate OF New York, now controlled BY
the Democratic party, there is no Demo-
crat who will shirk his duty, making
every effort to secure the success of the
candidate OF this convention, notwith-
standing his judgment may differ from
that OF the majority. The Democracy
OF New York and its great leaders. .whoee
efforts and splendid generalship have
given to US Democratic senator and
governor, will always be true to the great
party they represent. Their unques-
toned Democracy will make them
rise and fight as never before, and, with
those they represent and lead they will
marshal the great independent vote and
we will again secure Democratic vic
tory in New York. The grand Demo-
cratic organizations, under hose leader
ship the city and state OF New York are
now governed, will give to the cause The
great weight of their organizRti0ns.
The laundering echoes of this conyen-
tion, announcing the nomination Of
Grover Cleveland, will not have died
out, before you will hear and see all our
leaders rallying to the support Of our
candidate. All Democrats will fight for
victory, and they will succeed because
the principles of the party an
nounced here are for the best in
tereets of the country, and because the
people have an unqueetioning faith that
Grover Cleveland will give the country
a pure, honest and stable government
and an administration in which the
great business interests oil the country
will receive proper and due considers.

The question has been asked: aWhy
is it that the masses OF the party
demand the nomination of Glover
Cleveland?" 1t Is because he has
crystallized into living issue the great
principles upon which the battle is to
be fought at the coming election. If he
did not create tariff reform, he made it
presidential issue; vitalized it and
presented it to the party az an issue for
which we could fight and con-
tinue to battle. until upon it victory is
assured. There are few men in his po-
sition who would have the courage to
boldly make the issue and present 1t so
clearly and forcibly as he did in his
great message OF 1887. We must honor
the man who was honest and bold
enough uuder such circumstances to
proclaim that the success OF the party
upon principle was better than the
evaeion OF true national issues for tenn
porary success. There is another reason
why the people demand his renomina-
ton. They feel that the tariff reform
views of President Cleveland and the
principles laid down in his great mes
sage give US living and vital issue to
| fight for, which has made the great
victories possible since 1888. 1t consol-
idated in one solid phalanx the Dem
ocracy of the nation. In Massa-
chusetts it gave us Russell; in
Iowa it gave US Boies; in
Wisconsin it gave US Peck for
governor and Villas for senator; lin
Michigan it gave US Winans for governor
and gave US Democratic Legislature and
will give us eight electoral votes for
president; in Pennsylvania it gave "
Pattison; in Connecticut 1t gave us .
Democratic governor, who was keptout
OF Office by the infamous conduct Of the
Republican party !; in Illinois it gave us
Palmer for senator; in Nebraska 1t gave
us Boyd for governor; in the great state
of New York it gave David Bennett Hill
for Senator, and Roswell P. Flower for
governor. With all these glorious
achievements it is the wisest party
policy to nominate again the
man whose policy made these successes
possible. I feel that every Democratic
