The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-07-28

tnuslasm reached such height that
the chairman was obliged to momen-
tarily suspend.
Cleveland's visage darkened with
dlspleasure, but even his frown was
powerless to check the enthusiasm of
the American chivalry and it was
fully minute before the enthusiasm
was exhausted. At the conclusion of
Mr.. Wilson'S address the secretary
read the nominating letter.
The following is the formal address
OF notification presented to Mr.. Cleve.
land at Madison Square Garden to-
night:
ITO Grover Cleveland, New York;
"As members of the notification
committee delegated by the national
Democratic convention which assem-
bled in Chicago June q, it is our
agreeable duty to inform you that
upon single ballot you were unani-
mously nominated for the presi.
dency of the United States. Nothing.
could evince the affection and
confidence in which you
are held by the Democratic party
more positively than the fact that you
have been made its candidate for that
office. Your devotion for the prin-
ciples of the party of Thomas Jeffer-
son, your fidelity to every trust re-
posed in you by the people, your
courageous conservative and exem-
plary administration when chief exec
utive of the United States and the
prosperity of the country under that
administration won for you the re-
spect of every citizen. In the main
tenance of the doctrines which you so
clearly expounded and so consistently
advocated and which forms the basis
of the declaration of principles
formulated the Democratic convention
which again placed you in nominal
tlon, rests the hope of the people for
constitutional government. They
turn now to the Democratic party that
blessings of civic and industrial lib
erLy may be secured to them and in
response to the peoples' demand, that
party has chosen for its leader him
whose public record conveys guar
antee that the will of the people will
not be thWarted. 1t is then not only
with sense of profound personal sat-
isfaction, but also with the assurance
that your nomination is welcom-
ed by every man who
feels the burden of unjust taxation
and distress when warranted legisla-
tion interferes with the rights of citi-
zens, that we inform you of the action
of the national Democratic conven-
ton and submit herewith its declara-
ton of principles.
Firmly believing that there is no
other safe repository for the liberties
of the people and welfare of the ma
tion than in the hands of Democratic
administration we must heartily con-
graduate the country upon the OPP
portunity presented by your candidacy
for return to methods and measures
of that party which has and
will ever administer the government
for the good of our country and in the
interest of the entire people. That
our cause, the peoples cause, will tri-
umph we have no doubt and judging
the future by the past administration,
which you gave to the people of the
United States, that it will be directed
Dy wisdom, craftsmanship, integrity
and patriotism, and will cause your
fellow Democrats to regard with the
same pride and pleasure your future
career as president of this great repub-
lie that they now enjoy in remsm-
brance of your former administra-
tion."
