CLEYELANDA AND STEVENSONFOR-
MALLT NOTIFIED.
A new departure was taken by the
Democratic National Committee by
arranging that its candidates, instead
of being notified of their Nomination
in a private manner, should be in
formed of the honor at public meet
ing where all who desired might be
present. The ceremonies took place
in Madison Square Garden, New York,
on Wednesday night, in the presence
of %, 900 or 30, 900 cheering Democrats.
When the band was not playing the
crowd was shouting. Mrs. Cleveland's
entrance aroused the greatest enthus
iasm, in response to which she came
to the front of the box and gave bow
and sweet smile to the crowd.
At SIS Gen. Adlai E. Stevenson APP
peared. Where did you leave Cleve-
land - somebody yelled. Before the
question could be answered Cleveland
appeared on the stage, when the APP
plause was deafening and long con-
tinued. When quiet had been re-
stored Mr.. Cleveland arose and Hon.
William L. Wilson, of West Virginia,
chairman of the notification commit
tee, delivered a speech formally noti-
flying him of his nomination, in which
he. assured Mr.. Cleveland that there
are no weak, weary or respondent
Democrats in the ranks of our party
to-day, and that with the peoples
cause as our cause we doubt not you
will lead us to a victory in which the
principles of our party shall gloriously
triumph, and the welfare of our coun-
try shall be nightly promoted"
The roar was so great that very few
people heard Mr.. Wilson's speech.
Mr.. Cleveland reply was a vigorous
effort. He spoke in no uncertain
terms for the Democratic party, whose
standard he now bears, planting him
self squarely ON the Democratic plat
form. He promised, on behalf of his
party, a rectificatiou of the wrongs
which Cypress the American people.
Speaking of the injustice of the high
tariff system he said:
ssTurning your eyes to the plain people of the
land we see them burdened as consumers with
a tariff system that uniustly and relentlessly
demands from them in the purchase of the
necessaries and comforts of life an amount
scarcely met by the wages of hard and steady
toll, while the exactions thus wrung from
them build up and increase the fortunes of
those for whose benefit this injustice is per-
petuated.
1--WE see the farmer listening to a delusive
story that fills his mind with visions of advan-
tage, while his pocket is robbed by the stealthy
hand of high protection.
ssOur workingmen are still told the tale, oft
repeated in spite of its demonstrated falsity,
that the existing protective tariff is boon to
them, and that under its benefcent operation
their wages must increased, while as they
listen scenes are enacted in the very abiding
place of high protection that mock the hopes
of toll and attest the tender mercy the work.
ingman receives from those made selfish and
sordid by unjust governmental favoritism."
He denounced existing tariff laws as
inequitable and unfair and combatted
the Republican charge that the Demo
cratic party is destructive party, or
that it is recklessly needless of any
American interests. The Democratic
party invoking the love for fairness
and justice which belongs to true
Americanism, insists, he said, that no
plan of tariff legislation shall be toler-
ate which has for its object and pur-
pose a forced contribution from the
earnings and income of the mass of
our citizens to swell directly the &C
cumulations of favored few.
He also declared that the Democratic
party invites the duty of opposing to
the death force bill legislation, ''be-
cause we have not forgotten the satur-
MALTA of theft and brutal control which
followed another federal regulation of
State suffrage because we know that
the managers of party which did not
ssruple to rob the people of a Presi-
dent would not hesitate to use the
machinery created by such legislation
to revive corrupt instrumentalities for
partisan purposes because an attempt
to enforce such legislation would re-
kindle animosities where peace and
hopefulness now prevail because such
an attempt would replace prosperous
activity with encouragement and
dread throughout a large section of
our country, and would menace every
where in the land the rights reserved
to the States and to the people which
underlie the safeguards of American
liberty
Success, he added, can only be
achieved by systematic and intelligent
efforts on the part of all enlisted in our
cause.
Secretary Bell, of the committee,
read the official letter of notification.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Stephen NJ White,
of California, delivered the speech
notifying General Stevenson of his
nomination, to which he responded.
There was no doubt in any mind as to
the hold he has on New York Demo-
Gratis and it was agreed that his nomi-
nation adds strength to the ticket in
that quarter.
The evident sincerity and enthus-
iasm with which Tammany Hall en-
tered into this great meeting is an as
surance that the Democracy of New
York is united on the ticket and that
with half an effort the electoral vote
of New York will be won by Cleveland
and Stevenson.
Two of the cannon which, it is be-
lieved, were at one time mounted on
board Christopher Columbus flag
ship, were received at Chicago recent
ly. The cannon are of the ancient
and clumsy pattern of such guns turn
ed out in the fifteenth century.
