and colored fires, while The gradually in
eTeasing murmur, now swelling, now dying
away, Of myriads or approaching feet grew
into roar as the head of the procession
turned in from Market street. Then the
Hickory Club en- tered the hall, headed by

a gay scene.
Onward they came, club after club. band

| cheers when he stepped 10 the front of the
| platform. He said: "Grove- Cleveland
| [cheersl has been nominated by the almost
unanimous choice Of the Chicago conyen-
ton and in response to the we'll nigh unani-
nous demand swelling up from the great
Democratic heart Of the nation, and this
splendid ratification, which is almost as
| spontan sous as 1t is great, shows that no
mistake has been made concerning his popu-
| larity. Never was a ticket more joyfully
received than that which has been placed
before the Democratic party. Ii is for his
| principles that Grover Cleveland has been
named again, for his administration when
tie was In power showed his worth and his
! fidelity TO the Dem Ocratic principle OF lib
erty, justice and equality. His nomination
IS the beginning Of grand and decisive
battle tor popular rights. 1t Is the battle
of labor, of manhood. against monopoly
The fight OF the Democracy is to free the
country from the thralldom OF the monopo-
lies
1t is the destiny Of the party to succeed
In this campaign. Civilization must take
another step forward Its progress can
move only along the lines Of the funda-
mental principles of pure Democracy, which
demand equal rights to all, special priv
ileges to none" That this advance shall
now be made under the banner of American
Democracy aecords with the increasing pur-
pose which the poet tells us runs through
all the ages.
He then devoted himself to the labor
question and declared that labor does not
need protection, but needs only to be se-
cured. He predicted that Cleveland would
be trlumphantly elected.
