Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-07-21

most brilliant tableaux New York has seen
in many months, appeared. The crowd
was patient one, despite the heat, re-
neving its feelings every few minutes by
rounds of applause as some familiar fig
ure appeared on the platform. At first
glance, during those periods of enthusi-
asm, one would imagine the whole audi
ence was composed of men, but after the
troubled sea had settled, the fairer sex
seemed to emerge from it in bewildering
summer costumes, smiles and the inevita-
BILE fan.
Mrs. Cleveland and party entered box
about o'clock and this gave the crowd a
chance to give vent to some of their pent
up enthusiasm. Quiet had scarcely been
restored when a mighty chorus of cheers
broke out, and there was a universal
waving of hands, arms, hats, handker-
chiefs and fans. Then John M. Bowers,
escorting Adlai E. Stevenson, appeared.
Mr.. Stevenson gracefully acknowledged
the plaudits with a bow. Gov. Flower
and Gen. Sickles were the next arrivals
and they were also vigorously applauded.
Among those who occupied boxes were
Gov. Flower, Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan, Mayor
Grant, Comptroller Meyers, Commissioner
Gilroy, William G. Whitney, the Manhat
tan Club, the Stock Exchange and the
Consolidated Exchange Campaign Clubs,
Orlando B. Potter, Congressman Bourke
Cochran, Police Commissioner Martin,
Benjamin Wood, Henry Willard, Fire Com
missioner Purroy, Frederick R. Coudert,
Perry Belmont, E. Ellery Anderson, S. D.
Babcock, Evan Thomas and Police Justice
Voorhis.
The concert pitch of enthusiasm was
struck at S:15 o'clock when Mr.. Cleveland
| entered. Mr.. Cleveland looked impressed
1 with the magnitude of the gathering and
1 the wondrous scene it presented as each
| and every man and woman stood ON their
feet applauding in the most enthusiastic
manner. He bowed his thanks again and
again, but the din and noise continued for
many minutes, and the Secretary of the
! Notification Committee, Nicholas NJ. Bell,
finally arose in despair and entreated the
crowd to be silent. 1t was, however, a
fruitless task, and nothing was left but
to begin the exercises. Colonel Wilson OF
| West Virginia approached the rostrum,
and Grover Cleveland rose to listen to the
speech of notification. Mr.. Wilson said
In part
Mr.. CeUeIdnd:
1--WE bring you, tonight, message from thu
Democratic party. We come as Committed
} from its National Convention representing
every Democratic constituency in the country
to give you official notification that you hav'
been chosen as its candidate for the Office O
President of the United States
1--WE are also charged with the duty of pre-
Benting you the platform of principles adopte'
by that convention. This platform contains
full and explicit declaration of the position o
che National Democratic party on the grna
| political issues of the day; but in all its utter
| anoes it is merely u development of one grea
| principle, that whatever governments an
laws can do for people must be done for a
the people, without precedence of section o
| grades of citizenship.
, I'VE believe that government administers
in this spirit in such country as ours, wi
secure a larger measure of freedom and pro-
pcrity to the people than has heretofore bee
poasibIe in the world and that a vrs.: - - =
