stood Just Le!ind the charman's desk,
a manuscript in front of him and spoke
so clearly that he could DC heard all
through the great hall. He said il part:
Mr. CHAImMAN AND GENTLEMEN or THE
CONVENTION: in placing Il r"Inc before t3li
Convention l speak for the United Democracy
of the State of New Jersey. he sU!'irni" con
sideraton in the mind OF the Democracy OF
New jersey is the success of the Democratic
party and its principles. 1t is because thIs
this name will awaken throughout our Own
State the enthusiasm Of the Democracy ana
ensure success: il is because he represents The
great Democratic principles and policy upon
which the Convention is until; il Is because OF
this VIC believe that with him as 4 candidate the
Democracy Of the Union will sweep the cour-
try and establish its principles thr"M rhout TIC
length and breadth Of the land that sc offer
to the Convention as n nominee the choice OF
the Democrats Of New JcrScv--GrUvcr Glove
land.
II any doubt existed i'll the minds OF the
Dem Ocracy 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 SucceSc Of the party and the c>ta3-
lishment of its principles arc beyond the love
DR. admiration of any man.
But we stand to-day in the presence Of the
masses throughout the country, the rank and
die. the millions of its voters, demand tie
nomination of Grover Cleveland.
This sentiment is so strong and oTcrpOwcr-
ing that it has controlled the actions OF dcic-
gates who would otherwise present .nc name
of some distinguished leader III their own
State.
have sublime faith in 1hc expression OF the
people when it is clear and distinct.
I ~. -
the masses Of the party demand the nonina-
ton 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
Democracy? Why is that with all that has been
urged against him the people still cry: Give
os Clcvcland:" Why is it that although he
has prounccd in clear, earnest and able Ian
guagc 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 be-
cause he has crystaliZed into living issue the
great principle upon which this battle is TO be
fought out at the coming election.
We must honor q 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 shi-k:ng Of
the true National issues for cmporary success.
There is another reason why the people de-
snand his nomination. They feel that the
tariff reform views of President Cleveland and
the principles laid down in his great message,
whatever its temporary effect may have been,
gave usa living and vital issue TO fight, which
has made the great victories since lSSS posi-
bic. 1t consolidated in one solid phalauX the
Democracy Of the Nation. In every State Of the
Uuoa that policy has beccn placed in Demo
cratic platforms and our battles have Bccn
fought upon it. and this great body Of repre-
sentative Democrats have seen its good re-
snlts. Every man in this Convention rcco5-
niZcs this as the policy Of the party.
Its the wscst and best policy to nominate
araiu the man whose policy made these sue
ccsses possible. The people believe that these
victories, which gave us Democratic House
of REPRESENTATIVES in 1890 and Democratic
Governors and Senators in Republican and
doubtful States, are due to the courage and
wisdom of Grover Cleveland. And so bciicY-
inr they recognize him as their great leader.
The Democracy Of New Jersey presents TO
tris Convention, in this, the peoples year, the
plain, blunt. honest citizen, the idol Of the
democratic nasses-Grovcr Cleveland.
When Gov. Albeit named Cleveland
the delegates sprang to their feet, many
of them mounted chairs, hats Were
thrown into the air, and the noise Of
the cheering was deafening MichiSan's
banner waved aloft again. The enthus-
iastic banner bearer forgot discretion
