shall not attempt to specify at this timo
other subjects and aims of Democratic en-.
deavor which add inspiration to our mis-
sion. True to its history and its creed our
party will respond to the wants of tho peo
Pile within safe lines and guided by en-
lightened statesmaiiship. To the troubled
Impatient within our membership we COM
mend tried, answering allegiance to the
party whose principles in ali times past
have been found sufficient for them and
whose aggregate wisdom and patriotism
their experience teaches can always be
trusted.
In a tone OF partisanship, which benefits
the occasion. let mo say to you, as equal
day enter, that the personal fortunes of
those TO whom you have entrusted your
banners are only important as they arc re-
lated to the fate of the principles they rep
resent and tho party they lead. 1 cannot,
therefore, forbear reminding you and ali
those attached to the Democratic party, or
supporting the principles which we profess,

lowed by the consummation of the Iogisla-
tive schemes our opponents contemplate
and accompanied by such other incidents Of
their success as might more firmly fix their
power, would present o most discouragir 2
outlook for future Democratic supremacy
and for the accomplishments of the objects
we have at heart.
moreover, every sincere Democrat must
believe that the interests of his country are
deeply involved in the victory of our party
IN the struggle that awaits us Thus pa

alton to win success.
rms success can only be achieved by n
systematic, intelligent effort by all enlisted
In our cause. Let us tell the people plainly
and honestly what we believe aud how we
propose to serve the interests of the entire
country and then let us, after the manner
OF true Democracy, rely Oh the thoughtful
ness and patriotism of our fellow country
men.
1t only remains for me to say to you in ad-
vance of more formal response to your
message, that obey the command of my
party and confidently anticipate that an
intelligent and earnest presentation of our
cause will insure the popular endorsement
OF the action of the body you represent.
In delivering his Arrangement of the
Republican party Cleveland's tones
grew tritle harsher and his delivery
more emphatic, which evidently found
an echo in the sentiment of the audi
ence. When he said: "Let us tell the
people what we believe" his voice rose
even higher, and he lifted his hand in
an impressive way above his head. 1t
was 9:lO o'clock when the Ex-Preside1it
finished. He closed with cheers and
cries of -Four, four. four years more. -"
Then came the speech of notifica-
ton, made by Stephen M. White, of
California, to AdlaI E Stevenson. The
voice of the California orator was
powerful and every syllable was
distinctly heard throughout the vast
hall.
