The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-10-05

"Gentlemen of the Convention, for this
courteous and cordial expression OF your
confidence am very grateful. This as
sem blagc fitly follows and supplements
the great council OF the party which last
June In Chicago proclaimed our princi-
Piles aud named our candidates. There
were gathered the leaders OF the regular
army of the Democracy; here are the
captains OF the active militia. All OF Us
have our places, our duties and RESPONSE
bilities. All OF us are enlisted for life;
not merely for the present contest, for
the cause OF the Democracy, the cause of
the people, the cause OF :,se and pure
government in this land require constant
watchfulness and unremitting activity.
"We are here to exchange views, to
consult, to plan, to distribute duties.
When We separate let each man seek his
post, and let that post be In the fore
front of the Democratic ZINE. Our grand
old party is unit In this compaign. On
the 2ist of June we had many candidates.
On the 23rd we had but one, the choice
OF that great convention, the man de-
manded by the popular voice in q tone
absolutely imperative.
Cheerfully and loyalty and enthusi-
astically the seven millions Democrats
and thong htfully independent voters of
the republic support that nomination,
for they see In his election the return OF
good government In the land, q safe and
wise and economical administration, the
end OF the war and war taxes at last. We
are proud of our great chief, the honest
sturdy, fearless, clear sig hted patriot,
Grover Cleveland, absolutely the best
President the country has had within
the memory of living men. We are
proud OF his colleague, Adlai X. Steven
son, the eloquent and forcefui, high
minded true discipline OF Thomas Jeffer-
son, man eminently fitted by heart and
head for the highest place In the peoples
gift. The Demo cratic party of today 10
the party of
Cleveland and Stevenson,
but It Is also the party OF HUI and Gray,
OF Thurman and Boies, OF Carlisle and
Morrison, of Palmer and Russell; all
chiefs worthy to lead and all Democrats
Loyalty willing to follow. No man among
US all has done or Is doing-or indeed can
equal to that of Senator Hill,
whose name stood next on the list to that
OF Mr.. Cleveland at Chicago.
A delegate from North Carolina In the
body OF the hall rose and offered the fol-
lowing resolution: "Resolved, That the
chairman be requested to transmit to the
President OF the United States the re-
spectful sympathy OF the members Of the
association of Democratic Clubs with
MIN IN MS days OF anxiety anu TO express
their earnest hope that In the providence
OF God Mrs. Harrison may in good time
be restored to health" The re-reading
Of this was called for and after it had
been read clearly from the clerks desk,
it was adopted with chorus of ayes.
A letter OF regret from Gen. Stevenson
was read.
At 1910 the convention took recess
