to the judgment OF the people. We must honor
a man who Is honest enough aud bold enough
under such circumstances TO proclaim that the
defeat OF the party upon principle is better
than evasion or shirKing OF true national issues
for temporary success. When victory is OBJ
tanned upon q principle, IL forms the solid
foundation OF party success IN the future. IL
10 no longer the question OF battle TO be won
on the mistakes of our foes, but il is victory
to be accomplished by charge along the whole
line under the banner Of principle.
There is another reason why the people de-
mand 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.
gives Us a living and a vital issue 10 hight Tor,
which has made the great victories since 1888
possible. Ii consolidated 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 1t and this great body of rep
resentatIVe democrats have seen Its good
results. Every man in this conyen-
ton recognizes this thu policy OF the party.
In MASSACHUSETTS, 1t gave IL Russell; in Iowa
IL gave us Boies; in Wisconsin II gave
Peck and Villas; in Michigan II gave us VII
mans for governor and gave democratic
legislature and will give US eight ELECTORAL
votes; IN 1889 IN Ohio II gave US James Camp
bell tor governor and IN 1891 to defeat him il
required the power, the wealth and the ma
Pennsylvania IL gave us Robert +. Patterson;
in Connecticut il gave US democratic COVER
nor who wsa kept out OF offoe by the infamous
conduct Of the republican party; in New Hamp-
shire II gave Us @ legislature of which we
defrauded; in Illinois IL gave
us q Palmer for senator and in Nebraska IL
gave Us Boyd for governor; in the great
southern states IL has continued in power DEM
ocratic governors and democratic legislatures;
in New Jersey the democratic power has been
strengthened and the legislature aud executive
now both democratic; in the great state of
New York it gave us David b. Hill for senator
and Roswell 2. Flower for governor. Con-
tinued cheerin2.l With ali these glorious
achievements il il the wisest and best party
policy to nominate again the man whose policy
made these successes possible. The people be-
ocratic house of representatives in 1890 and
democratic governors and senators in repub-
lican and doubtful states are due 10 the cour-
age and wisdom OF Grover Cleveland; and
believing they recognize him as their leader
In presenting his name 20 the convention il
is no reflection on any of the master leaders OF
the party The victories which have been OBJ
tanned are not alone the heritage OF these states;
they belong to the whole party. l feel that
every democratic state and that every Indi-
vidual democrat has reason 10 rejoice and be
proud and applaud these successes.
The candidacy of Gvover Cleveland is not q
reflection upon others, il is not autagonistic to
any great democratic leader. He comes before
this convention not IS the candidate OF any one
state. he is the choice of the great majority
OF democratic voters. The democracy of New
Jersey therefore presents to this convention in
this, the peoples year, the nominee of the peo-
ple-the plain, blunt, honest citizen, the idol of
the democratic masses-Grover Cleveland.
