When that passage instructing for
David B. IIilf was read the air was
shaken By IN outburst that made the
bunting culver, and when tho resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted, tho
cheers broke forth again, and subsidized
only when Col. John R. Fellows arose
in his place near the front OF the Tam
many delegation and moved that COM
mitteo be delegated to wait upon Sena
tor Hill and request him to appear be-
fore and address the convention.
OVATION TO HILL.
Senator Hill entered the room. and
his appearance was the signal for un-
bounded enthusiasm. \.
The din died only OF exhaustion, as
MIR. Hill, upon the arm OF Colonel Eel
lows, walked down the aisle to the
measure OF the band music. Coming
finally upon the stage, Mr.. Hill shook
hands with General Sickles, removed
his overcoat, took from one of its pock-
cts his speech in printed copy, and
waited for the applause 10 subsidc.
When silence had come on tho thronc,
General Sickles, leaning upon his crutch,
waved his right had toward Mr.. Hill,
said: -, ~
II present to you, gentlemen OF the
convention, the young hickory CT the
Democracy, our next presidential can
didatc, David B. Hill"
din and Mr.. Hill stood waiting, his face
very pale and one hand tightly gripped
In nervous tension.
At length the noise subsided and
Senator Hill spoke. He said:
Fellow Democrats: Your committee
summoning mo to this presence, have
apprised mo OF that unanimous vote
which will mako known your approval
OF me to the authorized Representatives
OF the Democracy OF the United States.
and be recorded in the annals of our
national convention. With what terms
shall acknowledge this official act nv
fellow Democrats, which instead OF
pointing to somo new untricd career,
might amply reward and crown the In.
bors OF tho longest life. From that great
cardinal whose "Lead, Kindly Light
has touched the hearts of all Chrjsten-
dom, let my gratitude humbly borrow
this worthicr response than I myself
could ever franc. to the great Dc;noc-
racy whom you represent. Ny respect
for them obliges me to submit myself,o
their praise as to q grave and emphatic
Judgment upon me, Which it would be
rude to question, unthankiul not to be
proud Of, and impossible ever to for
get.
WHAT TRUE DEMOCRACY is.
Tho re-awakening OF the Democracy
all over our land is tho most auspicious
sign OF the times. When the pcople of
France rose against oppression a hun
drcd years ago it meant revolution, a
change OF rulers and q social earthquake.
When the Democracy OF America rise,
it means an upheaval at the ballot-box,
q change OF their servants and political
reform. This is true Democracy.
