New YORK, July 20.-The Mecca of
Democracy has been the proud city of
the Empire state today. No Moham-
medan could have been more jealous to
his creed, no Aztec more loyal to his
mystic faith, than the great leaders
from the East and West, North aud
South. who have wOrshiped at the Dem
Ocratic shrine today.
The multitude that gathered to pay
homage to the national Standard-bearers
of the party numbered in its ranks all
classes of the Democracy. from the
highest to the lowest. The learned
jurist from the bench doffed his ermine
OF authority in order to mingle
in common with his party breth-
rem: the eX-COnfederate of the
south graSped hands with the mug
wump of the Empire state; while the
prosperous farmer of the West gave
fraternal greeting to the brawny leaders
of Tammany hall. and even forgot his
dogmatic hostility to the lords of Wall
street in the common admiration for the
great leader of national Democracy.
A Feast at the FOunt.
which every disciple of the doctrines of
Democracy might gather at the board
and receive from the fountain-head the
purest flow of Jeffersonian simplicity.
A new era, too, is ushered in with the
ceremonies of this day-a putting
away of the old and a taking
upof the new. Henceforth the
platitudinous proceedings that for
decades have marked the noti-
fication ceremonies to presidential can
didates will give way to public demon
stration where all Democrats will be
equal, and where the prospective cabi-
net officer will be no greater than he
whose highest aspiration ends with his
party'S success. 1t will be vast public
gathering. where all can personallyivlew
the candidates of the party and ratify
by their cheers the nominations of
Democracy; it will be the occasion of
all experience meeting. where every
worker in the cause can give words of
cheer from the locality where he awaits
the fruition OF his labors. and vouch
for the favor with which the laymen of
Democracy have received the nomina-
tions of the national convention.
Traditions Swept Away.
All the traditions of century are
swept away in one innovation; and
they have gone never to return. If sue
cess in its various degrees is 10 be the
measure of all human efforts, the cere-
monies of today will he the established
rule for future action; for nothing
could have been more successful than
the proceedings which opened with
much dignity at $50 this evening and
closed an hour or two later in uproar-
iOus cheers for the Candidates of the
national Democracy.
1t was a striking contrast to the nOti-
flcatiGn ceremonies of the past-cere-
monies that have taken place in the
presence of but favored few, in which
the great American public has had no
part. Reforms never go backward; and,
although the advocates of Jeffersonian
simplicity opposed the pageantry and
pOmp of these proceedings. they were in
a hopeless minority against the pro-
moters OF this popular demonstration,
and the fiat of the phalanX of Democracy
goes forth in approval of today's inno-
walton.
