nations release from the bondage
of unequal. unnecessary and unjust
taxation imposed by the tariff of 1888
and the repeal of the superadded imposi-
ton of the two Mckinley laws, and like
wise with statesman's energy and true
foresight has taken up the peoples cause,
assaiied the Republican degradation of the
peoples money and led the advance of the
Democratic party of New York with unfal-
tering steps TO that solid ground of
high Justice and equity upon which
we stand to-day absolutely without
discord or division, demanding with Hill
that every dollar coined in these United
States shall be equal to every other dollar
so coined and demanding redress for their
present shameless inequality.
The Democrats of New York, with n
proud hope, yet with perfect defence to
their brethren of other states and cordial
estimation of their renowned lead
ers as worthy standard bearers
of the peoples cause, point to the nomina-
ton of David B. Hill to the Office of presi-
dent as an expression of the whole Demo-
cratic faith, and of our settled purpose to
rescue this perverted government from the
clutch of autocrats and plutocrats, fromfa
spendthrift administration, from excessive
tax and debased money. I
In conclusion TO the mandate of the Dapf
ocratic voters of New York the delegas&s
selected by this convention are instIgeted
to present TO the national Democratic
convention the name of David 3.
Hill as a candidate fSr president
of the United States, Democrat who has
led the party from victory to victory for
seven successive years, and who has never
known defeat.
Said delegates are further instructed to
act as unit on all intrusted TO their charge,
said action to be determined by vote Of
the majority.
When the passage was read instructing
for Hill
CHEER. AFTER CHEER
burst forth that made the bunting CULVER,
and when the resolutions were unanimously
adopted the cheers broke forth again and
again and subsidized only when Col j. K.
Fellows aross in his place in front
of the Tammany delegation, and moved
that committee be delegated to wait upon
Hill, and request that he appear before
them and address the convention.
While the committee was on its GRAND
Secretary of State Rice handed up 4 report
of the committee to which was intrusted
the preparation of the list of national dele
gates and alternates at large AID BY dis
tricts.
Next was presented and read the list of
state presidential electors at large and by
Scarcely had the last name been
uttered when there came out
from under the galleries a confused
murmer 1t grew in volume and
at length the bald head and pale face of
Senator Hill were discovered. Every
thing on the floor and many of
the ladies in the boxes were in
stantly on their feet waving handkerchiefs
and cheering. The din died out only of eX-
haustion as Hill walked down the aisle.
Coming finally upon the stage Hill shook
hands with Gen. Sickles, removed his over
coat, took from one of its pockets
a speech in printed copy and waited for the
applause to subside. When silence had
come on the throng, Sickles, leaning upon
his crutch, waved his right hand toward
Hill and said Il PRESENT TO YOU, GENTLE
MEN OF THE CONVENTION, THE You've
HICKORY OF DEMOCRACY. OUR NEXT PREsI-
DENTAL CANDIDATE, DAVID B. HILL"
Then came more cheers and added din,
and Hill stood waiting, his face very pale
and one hand lightly grasped in nervous ten
sion. At length the noise subsidized and the
senator then spoke. The speech was intently
listened to, and while not broken often by
applause, it was cheered loudly at the
close, the band playing Three Cheers for
the Red, White and Blue"
A motion to adjourn then came and the
convention at 500 adjourned sine die.
