for president and vice president, arrived
here this morning and were welcomed
at the dock by prominent Democrats.
The party was greeted with cheers.
They entered carriages and Cleveland

Navy Whitney during his stay.
General Stevenson was the recipient
of many calls during the day.
The committee to notify Cleveland
and Stevenson of their nomination met
this morning and listened to the read
ing of the letter of notification, and ap-
pointed committee to wait on the can
didates and learn their wishes.
THE NOTIFICATION.
Madison Square garden was packed
tonight with people intent on witness
ing the ceremonies attendant upon the
notification Of Messrs. Cleveland and
Stevenson Of their nomination. The
vast amphitheater was decorated much
like the national convention Land
between $1,000 and 10000 people ass
sembed. While awaiting the arrival OF
the guests. the audience passed the time
in cheering for Cleveland, Stevenson
and Governor Flower, and singing CAM
paign songs.
At s 20 the notification committee en-
tered, headed by Perry Belmont, who
walked arm in arm with Stevenson. AS
the crowd recognized the -presiden-
tial candidate, the building shook with
cheers, and a moment later the governor
received fattering welcome.
Suddenly the yell went up Here
comes Cleveland" and this was the sig
nal for demonstration such as Cleve-
land had not witnessed since 1888.
When silence was finally restored,
Chairman Wilsoul4ef the nosifioakioni
committee stepped to the front of the
stage, and facing Cleveland, addressed
him.
CHAIRMAN WILSON'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Wilson said besides bringing
notification from the Democratic party,
the committee was also charged with
the duty OF presenting its platform of
principles, which, in all its utterances,
is merely the development of that one
great principle, that whatever govern
ment and laws can do for people, must
be done for all the people without
precedence of section or grades of citi-
zenship. Democrats plant themselves
upon the principle that the necessities
OF the government are the beginning
and end of Just taxation, and against
the tendency of Capitalization OF politi-
cal power in the federal government,
and the Capitalization of wealth in favor
of classes.
Continuing, he said nothing could
evince the affection and confidence in
which Mr.. Cleveland is held by the
Democratic party more positively than
the fact that he was three times made
it's candidate for the presidency. His
devotion to the principles of Jefferson;
his fidelity to every trust reposed by the
people; his courageous, conservative
and exemplary administration and the
prosperity of the country Hereunder,
won for him the respect of every citi-
zen. In the maintenance OF the doc
trines he go clearly expounded, and
which formed the basis of the declara-
tion of principles formulated by the
Democratic convention which had again
placed him in nomination, rests the
hope of the people for constitutional
government.
He declared that Cleveland's nomina-
ton is welcomed by every man who feels
the burden of unjust taxation and the
distress of unwarranted legislative inter-
ference; and he most heartily congratu-
lated the country upon the opportunity
presented by his candidacy for return
to the methods and measures of that
party which has and will ever admins
ter the government for the good of the
country and in the interest of the entire
people.
s'Four years ago." said Wilson, sin
the midst of career deserving the high
est honors, and which will receive the
highest encomiums history can award,
| you were struck down because, as q
Democrat, you could make no terms
with those who wished to plumber the
| peoples treasury and perpetuate the
| passions OF civil strife. Your country
men will right this wrong. They have
seen the attempt to turn the gratitude
of the nation into an electioneering fund
for political party, and service to that
party in the conflicts of peace, count
for more than service to the country in
the conflicts of war. They have seen
every power of the federal administra-
tion used to destroy free elections in the
states. We can assure you there are no
weary or respondent Democrats in the
ranks today. andiwith the peoples cause
as our cause, doubt not that YOU will
lead us to glorious triumph"
BABY RUTH AND HER MOTHER.
During Wilson's address Mrs. Cleve-
land, who had been detained, strove 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 voice from the gallery proposed ;
Three cheers for baby Ruth" the en-
thusiasm reached such a height that the
chairman was obliged, momentarily, to
suspend. Mr.. Cleveland's vissage dark
ened with displeasure, but even bis
frewn was powerless to check the en-
