delegates who applauded, the aggregate ap-
plause of delegates and spectators combined
was far greater and twicc Is long "a the
Cleveland demonstration.
Illinois and Indians seconded the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Cleveland When Iowa was
reached the Hon. John r. Duncombe was rec

To-day, for the first time In the history Of
the American Republic, the name OF . man
whose home 10 west Of the Mississippi river
Will be presented 70 Democratic National
convention for nomination " the exalted po-
sltiou OF President Of the United States.
Heretofore the nothern, the southern, the
eastern, and the middle states have furnished
nll but one Of the presidential nominees Of the
Democratic party. For thirty-hve years the
Republican party has chosen all but one OF
Its candidates from the West, and the eastern
candidate was defeated. For thlrty-aye Year,
the Democratic party has chosen all Its can
didatcs from the East, and during that time
only one Democratic President has been In
augurated. For over quarter Of a century
no man residing outside the limits Of the EN-
pire state has had the honor Of Democratic
presidential nomination.
In the land west Of the Mississippi Is n
state larger than New York, surrounded by
her elder sisters, Missouri aud Illinois, and
her younger sisters, Nebraska md Minnesota;
u state, boriercd on the east and on the west
by the father and mother OF waters; q state
whose springs and brooks aud rivers how on
increasingly To the southern gulf, emblematic
Of the eternal love which should forever bind
IN unity the jewellers In the great Mississippi
valley. Iu that state there lives . noble son
Of New York, honOrcd by an election 70 her
legislature over third Of century ago; q
son worthy and well qualified for the highest
honor which this great Intelligent convention
can place upon him. A son who, born and
reared In poverty, accustomed to hard labor,
has thereby learned to sympathlze with the
poor and distressed, with the larb0rers OF the
land. The name Of that noble son OF New
York and adopted son OF Iowa Is Horace
Boes.
Mr.. Dewitt then took the platform to nom
mate David b. Hill lie said:
"Wc believe In the brotherhood Of man
and In all the hearty doctrine of equality and
fraternity which arise from that faith Our
people want leader filed with the aspira-
lions, shrewdness, sagacity, hopes, fears, joys
and sorrows which crowd their struggle for
life and happiness. Such man Is David B.
HILL He never had an alliance with malcon-
tents, nor any favor 10 the Republican party.
lie Is II cavalier rather than u roundhcad. In
opposition to sumptuary laws. IN persistent
advocacy OF freedom Of religious worship,
and In efforts to foster aud develop general
liberty appropriate 10 modern civilization, he
has done more than any public man of his
time. lie is firm adhcrent OF the principles
Of frugality and economy In public affairs,
aud from the beginning Of his public career
he has remained the faithful and untirng SER
want Of the laboring classes.
I'VE present him ms candidate Of an I'M
terrified and aggressive Democracy. Ills ex-
pcriencc teaches us that such Is the way to
succeed. We love him not merely for the
enemies he has made, but for the enemies he
has conquered. We have never mlsled you
In presenting n sterling Democrat to your
favor The delegates here favoring the nom
nation Of David b. Hill were elected by the
unanimous voice Of our state convention,
regularly called and held. Not a dissenting
voice marred the harmonious action Of that
body, For no earthly reason nm organized
attack was made upon this action, and n par
eel Of gentlemen were selected to bring that
attack Into this convention. You have dis
missed that delegation from your doors, and
now you are asked not merely to defeat OR
choice, but to force upon us candidate from
our homes hostile to our organization. Such
Is not the measure of courtesy and friend
