GOV. ALBEIT NAMING CLEVELAND.
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: In presenting the name to
this convention l speak for the united
! Democracy OF the State of New Jersey,
| whose loyalty to Democratic principles,
faithful services TO the party and con-
| tri6utiohs TO it's success entitle it to re-
/ spectful consideration Of the Democracy
/ Of the United States. Its electoral vote
! has always been cast in support of Dem
| ocratic principles and Dem ocratic can
dates. Cheers.
''In voicing the unanimous wish OF
! the delegation from New Jersey, pre-
sent as their candidate for the suffrage
+ of this convention the name of distin-
| guished Democratic statesman, born
! upon it's soil, for whom in TWO Presiden-
tial contests the State of New Jersey
has given its electoral vote. Cheers. !
THE supreme consideration in the
mind OF the Democracy of New Jersey
! is the success of the Democratic party
! and it's principles. We have been in
| the past, and will be in the future
| ready at all times to sacrifice personal
! preferences in defense to the clear eX-
pressionS of the will of the Democracy
! of the Union. 1t is because that this
name will awaken throughout our State
the enthusiasm of the Democracy and
insure success; it is because he repre-
sents the great Democratic principles
and policy upon which this entire con-
vention is unit; it is because we be-
! leve that with him as q candidate the
| Democracy of the Union will sweep the
| country and establish It's principles
throughout the length and breadth of
! the land that we offer to the conven-
ton as a nominee the choice of New
Jersey-Grover Cleveland. APP
plause.
If any doubt existed in the minds Of
! the Democrats of New Jersey of his
ability to lead the great Democratic
hosts to victory they would not present
his name to-day. With them the sue
cess of the party and the establishment
OF its principles are beyond their love
| for any man (cheers). We feel certain
that every Democratic State, though hs
preferences may be for some other dis
tinguished Democrat, will give its warm
! enthusiastic and earnest support TO the
| nominee Of this convention. The man
whom we present will rally to his party
| thousands of independent voters
whose choice is determined by
their personal conviction that
the candidate will represent
principles dear to them, and whose pub
| lie life and policy give assurance that II
chosen by the people they will secure an
honest and pure conservative admins
! tration, and the great interests of the
country will be encouraged and protect
! ed. The time will come when other dis
! tinguiShed Democrats who have been
mentioned in connection with this nom
ination will receive that consideration
to which the great services they have
rendered their party entitle them, but
we stand to-day in the presence of the
fact that the majority OF the Democrat
ic masses throughout the country, the
rank and file, the millions of its voters,
demand the nomination OF Grover Cleye-
land. [Cheers.
This sentiment is so strong and over
towering that it has affected and con-
troled the actions Of delegates who
would otherwise present the cause OF
some distinguished leader OF their own
State with whom they feel victory
would be assured and in whom the coun-
try would feel confidence; but the people
have spoken and favorite sons and lead
ers are standing aside in obedience 10
their will. TCheers. Shall we listen
| 4. - - Tho nnpnnRrnpV Of the
Union? Shall we place on our banner
the man OF our choice, the man IN whom
thew believe, or shall we for any con-
sideration OF policy or expedien-
cv hesitate to obey their will?
(Cheers) 1 have sublime faith in the
expression Of the people when it is
clear and decisive. When the question
before them is one that has excited dis
cussion and debate; when it appeals to
their interests and their feelings and
calls for the exercise Of their judgment
and they then say we want this man
and we can elect him, we, their repre-
sentatives must not disobey nor disap-
! point them. 1t is incumbent upon US
to obey their wishes and concur In their
! their Judgment, then, having gwen
them the candidate of their choice they
will give us their best, their most ener-
getic, efforts to secure success. (Cheers.)
1--WE confidently rely upon the loyal
and successful work Of the Democratic
leaders who have advocated other
candidates. We know that in the great
State across the river from New Jersey
now controlled by the Democratic
marty. there is no Democrat who Will
shirk the duty of making every effort
to secure the success OF the candidate
OF this convention, notwithstanding MS
Judgment may differ from that OF the
majority. The Democracy OF New
York. and It's great leaders whose
efforts and splendid generalship have
given to US Democratic Senator ana
| Governor will always be true to the
great party they represent. They Will
not wayer nor will they rest in the com
ing canvass until they have achieved
success. Their grand victories OF the
mast their natural and honorable ambl-
| ton. their unQuestioned Democracy VIII
make them arise and fight as never De-
fore and with those that they represent
! and lead. they will march in the great
independent vote and we will again Sc
/ cnre for us the Democratic victory IN
New York. The grand Democrats I'M
der whose leadership the city ana stare
Of New York are now governed will give
to the cause the great weight OF their
! organizations.
"The laundering echoes of this con,
vention announcing the nomination OF
Grover Cleveland will have died out
over the hills and through the valleys
of this land before you will hear ana
