We know that in the great state across the river
from New Jersey. now controlled by the Demo;
cratic party, there is no Democrat who will
shirk the duty of making every effort to secure
the success of the candidate of this convention.
Notwithstanding his Judgment may differ from
that of the majority. The Democracy of New
YORK and its great leaders whose efforts and
splendid generalship have given to US "a Demo
cratic senator AMI governor, will always be true
to the great party they represent; they will not
WAIVER, nor will they rest in the coming canvass
until they have achieved success. Their great
victories OF the past, their natural aud honor
able ambition, their unquestioneG democracy
will make them arise aud fight as never before
and with those that they represent
and lead they will marshal a great
Democrats a victory in New York. The grand
Democrats under whose leadership the. city and
state of New York are now governed will give to
the Cause the great weight OF their organiza-
lions. The laundering echoes of this conven-
ton announcing the nomination of Grover
Cleveland will not have died out over the hills
and through the valleys of this land. before you
viii hear and see all our leaders rallying the
support of our candidate. They will begin their
efforts for organization and success and con-
tlnue their work until victory crowns their
efforts. All Democrats will fight for victory
and they Will succeed because the principles OF
the party enumerated here are for the best in.

has cIystalized into a living issue the great prin-

by a charge along the whole line under the bast.
ner OF principles. There is another reason why
the people demand his nomination. They sci
that the tariff reform views of President CIeye-
land aud the principles laid down in his great
message, whatever its temporary effect NAV
have been, give us a livirg and a vital issne ~
fight Tor, which has made the great victories
since 1888 possible. ltconsolidated in one solid
phalanx the Democracy of the nation. In every
state of this Union that policy has been placed
in Democratic platforms, aud our battles have
been fought upon this, and this great body of
representative Democrats has seen it's eooi
result. Every man IN this convention recognizes
this as
THE POLICY OF THE PARTY.
In massachusetts, " gave us a Russell, in Iowa IL
gave rs a Bpies. In Wisconsin it gave Ms n
Peck Tor governor and ~ Villas for senator. In
Michigan it gave us winans for governor and
gave us a Democratic legislature and will give
us eight electoral votes for president. In 1850
IN OHIO. IT gave US James Campbell oreovernor
and III 1891, to defeat him. it required the
posepr, ms wealth and the machinery of the en-
TIRE kepuonean party. IN New Hampshire IL
gave US a legislature OF which we were defrauded'
IN llinols II gave us a Palmer for senator. and
N AeorasEa Il gave US a Boyd for governor. In
The great Southern states IL has continued I'm
power, Democratic governor and Democratic
legislators. In New Jersey the legislature and
the executive are now both Democratic. In the
Hill foF senator and Roswell p. Flower Tor gov
ernor.
With all these g orious achievements IL ia the
Wlsest and best party policy to nominate again
the man whose policy made these successes pos
sible, The people believe that these victories,
which will give us a Democratic house of repre-
sentatiyes in 1890 and Democratic governors
and senator's in Republican End doubtful
states. are dus to the courage and wisdom Of
Grover Cleveland, and so believing they recos-
nlze him as their great leader.
In presenting his name in nomination to the
convention 1t Is no reflection upon any OF the
masterful leaders OF the party. The victories
which have been obtaired are not alone the
heritage of these states, they belong to the
whole party ] feel that every Democratic
state, and thatevery individual Democrat has
reason to rejoice and be proud and applaud
these splendid successes. The candidacy Of
Grover Cleveland is not a reflection. upon others.
II Is not antsgonistic to any great Democratic
leader. He comes before this convention not as
the candidate of any one state. He is the
choice OF the great majority OF Democratic
