this convention. notwithstanding his
judgme mt may differ from that OF the
majority. The Democracy OF New
York and its great leaders, whose efforts
| and splendid generalship have given US
Democratic senator and governor,
will always be true to the great party
they repres ent; they will not waver,
nor will they rest in the coming can
Hass until they have achieved success.
The great victories of the past, their
natural and honorable ambition, their
unimpeachable Democracy, will make
them arise and fight as never before.
and with those that they represent and
lead they will marshal the great indie
pendent vote, and we will again secure
for the Democracy victory i'll New York.
The grand Democrats under whose
leadership the city and state of New
\ ork are now governed will give to the
cause the great weight of their organiZ-
ations. The laundering echoes of this
convention. announcing the nomination
of Grover Cleveland, will not have died
out over the hills and through the val
leys of this land before you will hear
and see all our leaders rallying 10 the
support of our candidate. They will
begin their efforts for organization and
success and continue their work until
victory, crowns their efforts. All
Democrats will fight for victory,
and they will succeed because the
principles of the party enunciated
here are for the best interests of the
country at large, and because the people
of this land have an unqueSti0ni1E
faith that Grover Cleveland will give
the country
Pure, Honest and Stable
government, and an administration iE
which the great business interests of the
country and the agricultural and labor
ing interests of the masses Will receive
proper and due recognition. The Ques-
ton has been asked, why is it that the
masses of the party demand the nOnl-
nation of Grover Cleveland? Why is
it that this man, who has no offices to
distribute, no wealth to command,
should have secured the spontaneous
support of the great body of Democ-
racy? Why is it, that with all that has
been urged against him, the people still
cry, "Give US Cleveland?' Why Is it.
although he has pronounced In honest,
clear and able languag his views upon
questions upon which some of his party
may differ with him, that he is
still near and dear to the masses? 1t is
because he has crystalllZed into living
issue the great principle for which this
battle is to be fought out at the coming
election. If he did not create tariff re-
form, lie made it presidential Issue !;
he vItaliZed and presented it to our
party as the issue for which he could
fight and continue to battle until upon
it victory is now assured. There are
few men in his position who would have
courage to boldly make the issue, and
present it so clearly and forcibly as he
III NE hn-
lieve that his policy then was to force
national issue which would appeal to
the Judgment of the people. We must
honor a man who is honest enough and
bold enough under such circumstances
to proclaim that the success of the party
upon principle is better than
Evasion or Sinking
the true national issues for temporary
success. When victory is obtained upon
principle, it forms the solid fOunda-
ton OF party success in the future. 1t
is 10 longer the question OF battle to
be won on the mistakes Of our foes, but
it is a victory to be accomplished by a
charge along the whole line under the
banner of principle. There is another
reason why the people demand his NOM
nation They feel that the tariff re-
form views of President Cleveland, and
the principles laid down in his great
message, whatever its temporary effect
may have been, give us living and a
vital issue to fight for, which has made
the great victories since 1888 possible.
1t consolidated in one solid phalanx the
Democracy of the nation. In every state
of this Union that policy has been placed
in Democratic platforms, and Our
battles have been fought upon this, and
this great body of representative DEM
OcratS has seen its good result. Every
man in this convention recognizes this
as the policy of the party. In MaSSa-
chusetts it gave us Russell. In Iowa it
gave us BoieS. In Wisconsin it gave us
Peck for governor and Villas for SEN
atOr. In Michigan it gave us WinanS
for governor apd gave us Democratic
legislature. and will give us eight cleo
tOral votes for president. In 1889 in
Ohio it gave us James Campbell for gov
ernor, and i'll 1891 TO defeat him it re-
quired the power, the wealth and the
machinery of the entire Republican
party. In Pennsylvania it gave US Rob
ert Z. Pattison. In Connecticut it gave
US Democratic governor who was kept
out of Office by the infamous conduct
of the Republican party. In New Hamp-
shire it gave uf a legislature of which
we were defrauded. In Illinois it gave
us Palmer for senator [cheersl, and in
Nebraska it gave us Boyd for governor.
In the great Southern states it has con-
tinued in power Democratic governors
and Democratic legislators. In New
Jersey both the legislature and eXecu-
tive are Democratic. In the great state
of New York it gave us David b. Hill
for senator and Roswell 2. Flower for
governor. Cheers.] With all these
Glorious Achievements
it is the wisest and best party policy to
nominate again the man whose policy
made these successes possible. The
people believe that these victories which
gave us Democratic house of Tepresen-
tatives in 1890 and Democratic govern
orS and senators III Republican and
doubtful states are due to the courage
and wisdom of Grover Cleveland, and
SO believing they recognize him as their
great leader In presenting his name to
the convention it is 10 reflection upon
any of the masterful leaders of the
party. The victories which have been
obtained are not alone the heri-
tage of these states: they belong
to the whole party. feel that
every Democratic state and that every
individual Democrat has reason to re-
Joice and be proud, and applaud these
splendid successes. The candidacy of
Grover Cleveland is not reflection
upon others. 1t is not antagonistic to
any great Democratic leader. He comes
before this convention not as the candl-
date of any one state. He is the choice
of the great majority Of Democratic
voters. The Democracy of New Jersey,
therefore, presents to this convention III
this, the peoples year, the nominee OF
the people-the plain, blunt, honest
citizen, the idol of the Democratic
