 GOV. ABBETT' $ SPEECH.
 Governor Abbett placed Cleve- land in nomination and spoke as follows:
 Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention On presenting a name 10 this convention speak for the united De mocraey of New Jersey, whose loyalty 10 Democratic principles, faithful service to the party and whose contributions to its success entitle it to the respectful consid- eration of the Democracy of the Union. It's electoral vote has always been cast in sup port of Democratic principles and candi dates. ICheers In voicing the unani- nous wish of the delegation from New Jersey, I present as their a. can didate for the suffrage of this con yention, the name of distin guished Democrat, born upon it's soil, for whom in two great presidential contests the state of New Jersey has given it's cleo toral vote. fCheers. The supreme con sideration in the mind of the Democracy of New Jersey is the success of the Deme- cratic party and its principles. We have been in the past and will be in the future ready at all times to sacrifice personal preferences in deferenee to the clear ex- pressions of the will of the Democracy of the Union. It is because this name will awaken throughout our state the enthu siasm of the Democracy and insure sue. cess; it IS because he represents the
 GREAT DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES and policy upon which this entire conven- tion is unit; it is because we believe that with him as a candidate the Democracy of the Union will sweep the country and establish it's principles through the length and breadth of the land that we offer the convention as nominee the choice of the Democracy of New Jersey Grover Cleve- land Applause. If any doubt ex- isted in the minds of the Democrats of New Jersey of his ability to lead the great Dem ocratic hosts to victory they would not pre- sent his name to-day. With them the suc- cess of the party and the establishment of principles are beyond their love and ad miration for any man. Cheers We feel certain that every Democratic state, though it's preference may be for some other dis tinguished 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 con viction that the candidate will.represent principles dear to them, and whose public policy gives assurance that if chosen by the people, they will secure an honest, pure and conservative administration, and the great interests of the country will be encouraged and protected. The time will come when other distin- guished Democrats, who have been men toned in come stion with this nomination will receive that consideration to which the great services they have rendered their party entitle them. sut we stand to-d day in the presence of the fact that majority of the Democratic masses throughout the country, rank and file and its millions of voters, demand the nomination of Grover Cleveland. tCheers. Shall we listen to the voice of the Democracyf 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 expediency hesitate to obey their willf Cheers l have sublime faith in the ex- pression of the people when it is clear and 1 decisive. When the question before them | Is one that has excited discussion and de- l bate; when it appeals to their interests | and their feelings and calls for the exer- sise of their judgment, and they say We want this man and can elect him, we, their | representatives, must not disobey nor dis | appoint them. 1t is incumbent upon ns | to obey their wishes, and concur in their | judgment, then, having given them the 1 candidate of their choice, they will give us | their best, their most energetic efforts to | secure success. [Cheers.
 We confidently rely upon the loyal and l work of the Democratic leaders | who have advocated other candidates. We | know that in the great state across the | river from New Jersey, DOW controlled by | the Democratic party, there is
 go DEMOCRAT WHO WILL sHIRK from the duty of making every effort to l secure the success of the candidate of this | notwithstanding his judgment | may differ from that of the majority. The l Democracy of New York and it's great lead. | PTS, whose great efforts and splendid gen sralship have given to us Democratic l senator and governor, will always be true | to the great party they represent. They | nave achieved success. Their grand vie- | tories of the past, their natural and honor sble ambition, their unquestioned Democ- | racy, will make them arise and fight as never before, and with those they repre- sent and lead, they will marshal the great | vote and win again secure 'or us the Democratic victory in New York
 The laundering echoes of the convention | announcing the nomination of Cleveland | will not have died out over the hills and | through the valleys of this land before you will hear and see all our leaders rallyingto | he support of our candidate.
 THEY WILL BEGIN THEIR EFFORTS or organization and success and continue | heir work until victory crowns their ef- | orts. All Democrats will fight for victo- | y and they will succeed because the prin- iples of the party enuneiated here are fer he best interests of the country at large, nd because the people of this land have faith that Grover Cleveland giD give a pure, honest and stable admin stration.
