JUDGE CoFFEY.
Judge James V. CUffey followed in very
brief speech, which. owing to his weak voice
and the noise in the building, was inaudible
to even the reporters sitting near him. He
said that W lille his voice could not be heard
two feet away from the platform the name
of Grover Cleveland, pronounced In a
whisper, would reach a thousand miles
away. 1t was no time to talk of platforms :;
the man was the platform in this campaign.
FRANK MURAsKY
Frank Murasky followed in an eloquent
speech, made, he said. in behalf OF the young
Democracy. He declared the name Of
Cleveland was one to conjura with, and that
the principles he had enuncated had given
the Democracy a slogan of victory. He
urged the young Democrats to follow the
great leader, and said his election meant
better times for all. Cleveland was the idol
of no State, the fav0rite son Of no one sec
ton, but the idol of the multitude.
A GREAT NOISE.
BY this time the noise in the hall was
deafen ing, and TO add to it the band located
in the 20 ter Of the Pavilion began to play
a Wagner march. The crowd at the east
end of the hall was cheering, and two-thirds
of the audience around the stand in the
west end deserted and went to the other
stand.

amid the hubbub managed to speak for five
or six minutes on the tariff The crowd
was impatient with him. however, and there
were constant interruptions.

pirate words. the noise being so great he
could not be heard even by those on the
stand.
Three cheers were given by the half hun
dred people about the stand for the nomi-
nees, and the meeting adjourned.
