face Of all opposition and faction
And the good work did not paus,
here. Gen. Stevenson, an old schoo
democrat. who believes that to tn.
victor belong the spoils, was nomi
mated for vice-president. With
these noble leaders the battle is one Of
the masses against the classes, anC
with these principles and these stan
dsrd bearers the democrats will cele
bro tie permanent and glorious victory
next November.
George w. Barnett said that, as he
was coming down to the court house
lasl night little chap asked him if he
was going to the "grati6calion' meet
ing? That is the proper name
for this occasion, said Mr.,
Barnett. The action of the
convention at Chicsgo was merely a
formal affair. Millions of Americans
had long before that time made known
their choice, AID this ratification or
qualification meeting was SIMPLY to
celebrate the attainment of their ex-
pressed desires. We have selected a
Leader, said he. and not follower !;
q statesman aud not q politician. In
sacrificing himself on the tariff issue
four years ago. he went down in
defeat like hero, covered
all over with glory. Like
Arnold Winklereid, the Swiss patriot,
who received the Austrian spears into
his own bosom that he might make
way for the liberty of his people,
Cleveland had sacrificed his own ILL.,
;erests for the grand principle Of tariff
reform involved. By this sacri-
fide he opened the road which led to
The election Of Boies, Russell, Patter-
son, Boyd, Palmer and others in re
publican states. Marathon, Plates,
Waterloo, and other fields Of car
mage are glorified in song and art
aid history, but the bloc iless battles
Of the ballot are far more splendid
and enduring. Our warfare is aggres-
sive. The clans are. gathering, the
banners are unturled, and We shall
make the charge. snd the laurel
wreath of victory shall cruwn the
brows of Grover Cleveland and Adlai
E. Stevenson.
Geo. P. Jackson took the stand and
asserted that nothing but democratic
meeting could have brought lin down
town last night. Just then some re-
publican hidden behind a maple tree
out in the audience yelled for Har.
rison. All right, said Mr.. jackson.
but when we hold our glorious rati-
fication in November there will be no
republican not even one behind

now put his shoulder 10 tie wheel and

Cleveland snd Stevenson. Cleveland
is the embodiment Of the tariff issue,
and he knew full we'll, even in defeat

The democrats, said he. have
also nominated a man IN

No person can say any thing against

Hon. w. d. Steele was introduced.
Everybody here tonight, said he.

fellow behind youder tree. and when
November rolls around we will have
him up a tree.
The eighth Of next November will
be the grsndest day the democrats of
