nations:
Mr.. G. II. Briggs, of T. IL. Briggs x
Sons, said: '.The best selection that
could have been made. Mr. Cleveland
is our idea of what public man should
b."
bic nominations. If we can't beat Ben.
Harrison with Grover Cleveland, we
couldn't beat him with any other man
in America"
Mr.. Jno. S. Pescud: with Clevc-
land, we have something to hope for;
without him we are worse than nothing
The convention did just what was ex-
pected of them by the people"

Geo. C. Heck, ESQ. "Mr. Cleveland
c the strongest all round man in his party
