! tons to its successes entitleit to the re-
| spectful consideration of the Democracy
| of the Union. Its electoral vote has
always been cast in support Of Demo-
| cratic principles and Democratic candi-
dates. Cheers. In voicing the unani
nous wish of the delegates from New
| Jersey, present as their candidate for
| the suffrage of this convention
the name of distinguished Democratic
statesman, born upon It's soil, for whom
| in the two great presidential contests
| the state of New Jersey has given its
| electoral votes. ICheers.l The supreme
consideration il the mind of the Dem
ocracy of New Jersey is the success of
the Democratic party and its principles.
| We have been in the past and will be in
| the future ready at all times to sacrifice
| personal prejudiceS in Difference to the
| clear expressions of the will of the
Democracy of the Uuion. because this
name will awaken throughout our state
| the enthusiasm OF the Democracy and
| insure success. 1t is because he repre-
sentS the great Democratic
Principles and Policy
| upon which this entire convention is
| INIT; it is because we believe that with
him as a candidate the Democracy of
the Union will sweep the country and
establish its principles throughout the
length and breadth of the land that we
| offer to the convention as nominee the
choice of the Democracy, Grover Cleve-
land. Applause. If any doubt were in
the minds of the Democrats of New
Jersey of his ability to lead the great
Democratic host to victory, they would
not present his name today; with them
the success of the party and the estab-
lIshment of its principles are beyond
their love or admiration for any man.
[Cheers. We feel certain that every
Democratic state, though its preference
may be for some other distinguished
democrat, will give its warm. enthusiastic
and earnest support to the nominee of
this convention. The man whom we
present will rally to his party thousands
of independent voters whose choice is
determined by their personal conviction
that the candidate will represent prin-
cipleS dear to them, and whose public
life and policy give assurance that if
chosen by the people they will secure
an honest, pure and conservative ad-
ministration, and the great interests of
the country will be encouraged and pro-
tected. The time will come when our
distinguished Democrats who have been
mentioned in connection with this NOM
ination will receive that consideration
to which the great services they have
| rendered their party entitle them. but
we stand today in the presence of the
| fact that the majority of
The Democratic Masses
! throughout the country, the rank and
| file, the millions OF its voters, demand
| the nomination of Grover Cleveland.
| [Cheers.l This sentiment is so strong
| and oyerpowering that it has affected
| or of dolo roc
who would otherwise present the name
of some distinguished leader of their
own state with whom they feel victory
would be assured, and in whom the en-
tire country would feel confident: but
the people have spoken, and favorite
| sons and leaders are standing aside in
obedience to their will [cheersl. Shall
we listen to the voice of the Democracy
of the Union. Shall we place on our
banner the man of their choice, the man
in whom they believe, or shall we, for
any consideration of policy or expedi-
ency, hesitate to obey their will?
[Cheers.l | have sublime faith in the
expression of the people when it is
clear and decisive.
When the question before them is one
that has excited discussion and debate,
and calls for the exercise OF their judy
ment, and they then say we want this
man and we can elect him, we, their
representatives, must not disobey nor
diSappOint them. 1t is incumbent upon
us to obey their wishes and concur in
their judgment. Then, having given
them the candidate of their choice, they
will give us their best, their most ener-
getic efforts to secure success. lCheers. |
We consistently rely upon successful
work Of the Democratic leaders who
have advocated other candidates. We
know that in the great state across the
river from New Jersey, now controlled
by the democratic party, there is
