NEW YORK, July 20.-Madison Square
Garden was packed tonight with people
intent on Witnessing the ceremonies at
teudant upon the notification of Messrs.
Cleveland and Stevenson of their nomi-
nation. The vast amphitheater was dec
GRATED much like National Convention
hall, and between 10, 600 and 10000 people
were assembled. While awaiting the ar
rival of the guests the audience passed
the time in cheering for Cleveland, Stew
enson and Governor Flower, and singing
campaign songs.
AT $40 the Notification Committee en-
tered, headed by Perry Belmont, who
walked arm-in-arm with Stevenson. AS
the crowd recognized the VicePresiden-
tial candidate the building shook with
cheers, and a moment later Governor
Flower received a fiattering welcome.
Suddenly a yell went up, "Here comes
Cleveland,' and this was the signal for q
demonstration such as Cleveland had not
witnessed since 1888.
When silence was finally restored
Chairman Wilson of the Notification
Committee stepped to the front Of the
stage, facing Cleveland.
WILSON NOTIFIES CLEVELAND.
In notifying Cleveland of his nomina-
nation fol President, Mr.. Wilson said
Beside bringing the notification from the
Democratic party, the committee Is also
charged with the duty of presenting its plat
form Of principles which, in all utterances is
merely the development of that one great
principle that whatever governments and
laws can do for people. must be done for all
people, without precedence of section or grades
o. citizenship. The Democrats plant them
selves upon the principle that the necessities
OF the Government are the beginning and end
oGjust taxation, and against the tendency OF
the Capitalization of political power in the
Federal Government and Capitalization of
wealth in favor of classes.
Four years ago, In the midst of q career de-
serving the highest honors, and which will
receive the highest encOmiumS history can
award, you were struck down because q Dem
cTat, you could make no terms with those
who wished 10 pIunder the peoples treasury
aud perpetuate the passions of civil strife
Nonr countrynen Will right this wrong They
have seen an attempt to turn the gratitude of
the nation into an electioneering fund for a
political party. and service to that party in
conflicts Of peace counts for more than service
10 the country in conhicfs OF war They have
seen every power of the Federal Adninistra-
Iion used to destroy free elections in the
States. We can assure you there are no
weary or respondent Democrats in the ranks
to-day, and with the peoples cause as our
cause, we doubt not you Will lead us to a
glorious triumph.
During Wilson's address Mrs. CIeye-
land, who had been detained, strOye to
enter the hall unobserved, but the audi
ence caught sight of her and fairly
went wild with enthusiasm. In the very
midst of Wilson'S speech three cheers
were given for Mrs. Cleveland, and when
a voice from the gallery proposed ''Three
cheers for Ruth" the enthusiasm reached
such a hight that the Chairman was
obliged momentarily to suspend. Cleve-
lands visage darkened with displeaSure
but even his frown was powerIess to
check the enthusiasm of American chiv-
airy, and it was fully a minute before the
enthusiasm exhausted itself.
At the conclusion OfChairman Wilson'S S
address the Secretary read the formal
notification letter to Cleveland The ad-
dress says nothing could evince the affec-
ton and confidence in which Cleveland
is held by the Democratic party more
positively than the fact that he three
times was made its candidate for the
Presidency. His devotion to the princi-
pies of the party of Jefferson; fidelity to
every trust repOSed by the people; cour-
ageouS, conservative and exemplary adj
mIniStration and prosperity OF the coun-
try hereunder won for him respect of
every citizen. In the maintenance of the
doctrines he SO clearly eXpounded and
which formed the basis of a declaration
Of principles formulated by the Demo-
cratic Convention which again placed
him in nomination, rests the hope of the
people for constitutional Government.
The address declares that CleVelaud;S s
nomination was welcomed by every man
who feels the burden of unjust taxation
and distress of unwarranted legislative
interference with the rights of citizens.
and most heartily congratulates the coun-
try upon the opportunity presented by
his candidacy for a return to the methods
FN+ l.
and will ever administer the Government
for the good of the country and in the
Interest of the entire country.
CLEVELAND ACCEPTS.
In accepting the nomination ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland spoke as follows:
Bfl. Chairman and Gentlemen: The message
YOU deliver from the National DeruOcr3Sy-
arouses within me emotions which would he
well nigh overwhelming, IL ! did not recog-
niZe here assembled representatives OF the
great party who must share with me the re-
sponsibility your mission invites. I ind
much relief in the reflection that l have been
selected merely TO stand for the principles and
purposes to which my party is pledged and
Tor the enforcement and supremacy of which
ali who have any right to claim Democratic
fellowship must constantly and persiStently
labor.
our party responsibilities are indeed great
We assume a momentous obligation to our
cOuntrymen. when in return for their trust
and confidence we promise them the rectifca-
Ion of their wrongs and better realization
