SUCCESS.

Nrw YORK, July 2O.-Grovsr Cleveland
IA Adlai Stevenson have been officially
1otiaed that they are the choice OF the
5.,,oor.cv of this great country TO lead 1t
~ ,,;otorv or defeat. The notification cere-
',orias took place tonight in the presence
=, large crowd Of people that surpassed in
.a,b,siesm and numbers even that vast
,hr,ng that on Sept. 6, 1886, at the same
~loce gave greeting to Allen g. Thurman.
The great amphitheatre OF Madison Square
Garden was covered as it never had been be-
sors and thousands and odd electric lights
.,,,,kIsd In wonder as they looked down
from their lofty perches upon che
ooa of heads and gesticulating speakers.
Outside the air was warm and sultry. inside
.ho thermometer was like the enthusiasm of
Mr. Cle,eland's friends-at blood heat.
Bue no one thought of the heat. Madison
avenue from Twenty sixth to Twenty
savsnth streets and Fourth avenue were
crowded as early as 6 O'Clock. 1t was
struvglng mass of humanity, dashiug like
waves against pile of rocks, the rocks in
this instance being burly policeman who
showed no favor and took no back talk,
simply pushing the people back until the
management saw ft to open the portals OF
the great hall.
A FRANTIC RUSH FOR SEATS.
When the doors were open the people
oyerrode the police. clubs and all. They
made one frantic rush for seats, and in the
remarkably short space Of ten minutes all
the room in the building that remained va
can't were the reserved seats on the platform
and the boxes.
Mr.. Stevenson was the first to appear, but
Mr.. Cleveland soon followed. After wait
ing some time for an OPP rtunity to be
heard and for the uproar OF applause 70 sub
eide, Mr.. Cleveland arose and Representa-
tive Wilson of West Virginia notified him
in speech OF ten minutes duration, that
be bad been nominated Tor the presidency.
1t Is well to state what MIR. Wilson was
doing, as IL Is doubtful whether more
than fifty people heard a word tina
was spoken. The reason for this
was because of Mrs. oCleveland's appearance
in another part Of the house in an open box
aud the crowd mad O chance to look we'll at
her.
WILSON'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Wilson spoke as follows:
Mr. CLEvELANn-We bring you tonight
message from the DemOCraClc party. WI come
as committee from it's national convention,
representing every democratic constituency in
the country, TO give you official notification that
you have been chosen az its candidate for the
Office of President of the United States. We are
also charged with the duty of presenting you
the platform OF principles adopted by that con-
vention. This platform contains full and ex-
plicit declaration of the position of the national
Democratic party on the great political
issues of the day; but in all its
utterances it is merely development of one
great Principle, that whatever governments
aud laws can DO for the people must be dSne
for all the people without precedence of section
or grades Of citizenship. We believe that
government administered In this spirit In such
country as ours will secure a larger measure
of freedom and prosperity to the people
than has heretofore been possible in the
world, and that il will be an example
and an inspiration to all mankind. TO
make and keep ours such government.
to guard with jealous care the rights of
equal citizenship, to bear our freedom safely
along the maroh Of our material progress, un-
harmed by the mighty agencies that minister
to that progress, this is the high and glorious
duty OF the Democratic party; duty that
commits IL to never-ending warfare with the
strongest and most enduring force Of human
nature the lust OF power and the lust of. greed.
These are the triumphant forces that in all
other ages and in almost all other lands have
put down freedom and brought government
under their control, and that are seeking in our
own lands TO add greater victory and q richer
prize TO all the triumphs OF the past.
