HON. JOHN E. MoNNoT.

The Hon. John X. Monnot was the
third speaker on the list. lie ne
and said: 1--WE are for Grover Cleveland
| because he has the iron will and iron
courage of Andrew jackson to grapple
with the greatest foe TO American labor.
The statements In the Chicago platform
are right and just and therefore we shall
win, Let us take our stand upon the
Chicago platform and Cleveland's grand
message of 1887 for all the people and
against those who would rob the people TO
enrich "a few protected industries. The
false clamor of protection is beginning TO
protest against the high protective tariff.
Then, hurrah for Democracy May tariff
reform ever be her cry and Grover Cleve'
land never die"
HON JOHN F. BLAKE.
Hon, John &. Blake was called upon by
the chairman. The mayor had been to
Chicago and circulated among the dele.
/ gates, especially from New York State
and he iecl ared that after the nomination
had been made, while the New Yorkers
felt that they would rather have had some
one else, yet they with one accord de-
L clared for the nominee and asserted that
he could be elected. The mayor had but
| little voice and could not therefore make
manifest his enthusiasm but he declared /:
"While have lost my voice temporarily
| IL was lost praising Grover Cleveland aud
the Democratic party"
p.J. COLLINS.
Il p. j. Collins spoke briefly but TO the
point. He said: "A few weeks ago there
was some difference of opinion as to who
should lead the Democratic party this
year but the repre- sentatives of the people
| and the Democratic party settled that
question at Chicago last week and today
we have united party and l for one feel
| like saying to those Chicago delegates,
/ those servants OF the people. Well done
| thou good and faithful servants"
JACOB REIGNER.
| Squire Jacob Reipner lifted up
his voice to swell the tide OF enthusiasm
| and ratity the ticket and platform. He
| said: ut there ever was a time when the
Democratic party should rejoice, and II
there is any man whom they should honor
| that time is now aud that man is Grover
| Cleveland. The conflict this year will be
| one of the most violent in our history but
the very desperation will crystalize the
friends OF the people and give us grand
and noble victory"
ALLEN COOK.
"Truth crushed to earth shall rise
again, and SO also with the Democratic
l party and Grover Cleveland,n said Allen
Cook as he took the platform. Continuing
he said: although in '88 the old ship Of
Democracy went down, yet last week up
| at Chicago she was brought up and placed
| In the dry docks where she was retouched
and refitted and with that magnificent
/ statesman Grover Cleveland at the helm
we shall again sail triumphantly into port
| in November"
JAMES A. RICE.
James A. Rice said: vt Is claiming too
much to say the Democratic party nomi-
| mated Grover Cleveland. II was the people
| speaking through the Democratic party
| as their only and want to
| say to you all now, IL you enjoy a fight,
roll up your sleeves and go In, for it will
| be the last chance for in 1896 the people
| will have found out so thoroughly that the
| Democratic party Is their only friend that
there will be no contest at all them"
HON. R. s. SHIELDS.
Hon. r. 5. Shields closed the speech
| making. He said: VI cheerfully give
my voice in ratification of the nomination
| of that tried and true patriot statesman,
Grover Cleveland Of New York for Presi-
dent and OF that gallant soldier statesman
Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, for Vice
President / believe il meets the approval
of the people here tonight and in fact of
all the people. IL is strong ticket
because 1t represents honest government.
IL is the voice of the masses of the Demo.
| cratic party. AT the Chicago convention
there wos one great cry coming up con-
| tinually from the east, the west, the north
and the south for Grover Cleveland, aud
| today with solid front let us go forward
to glorious victory"
When Mr.. Shields sat down Chairman
Raft came forward aud called for three
cheers for Cleveland and Stevenson and
| the State and county ticket which were
given with a vim that made the earth
fairly tremble with the vibration, as the
pent up enthu ,iasm of the great macs of
citizens found an outlet and an express
sion.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
during the entire demonstration. The
people seemed TO have all caught the
inspiration incident to the nomination of
Cleveland and the efforts of the speakers
were continually punctuated with vigorous
applause.
