THE SENATOR PRESENTED.
Scarcely had the last name been uttered
when the Committee OF Invitation appear
| ed at the rear of the hall escorting Senator
Hill. The band struck rpa stirring alr
and the vast throng rose to its feet, cheer
ed. waved handkerchiefs. and shouted.
| The din died only of exhaustion, as Mr..
Hill. upon the arm of Colonel Fellows,
walked down the aisle to the mea-
sure of the band music. Coming final
ly upon the stage Mr.. Hill shook hands
with General Sickles, removed his
overcoat took from one OF Its pockets
| his speech in printed copy, and waited for
the applause to subside. When silence
had come on the throng. General Sickles,
leaning upon his crutch. waved his right
hand toward MIR. Hill and said: I" pre-
sent TO you, gentlemen of the convention,
the Young Hickory of the Democracy. our
next presidential candidate, DAVID Is:
Hlll.n Then came more cheers and added
din. and Mr.. Hill stood waiting, his face
very pale. and one hand tightly gripped in
nervous tension. At length the shouts
subsided and Senator Hill spoke thus:
MR. HILLS SPEECH.
Fellow Democrats: Your committee
| summonlDg me to this presence have ap-
prised me of that unanimous vote which
| will make known your approval OF ne 10
the authorized representatives OF the
Democracy of the United States and be
recorded in the annals OF our national
convention. With what terms shall l ac-
knowledge this official act, my, fel:
low Democrats, which, instead OF
pointing to some new. untrled career.
might amply reward and crown the labors
of the longest life. From that great Car
diaal whose Lead kindly light" has
touched the hearts Of all Christendom, let
NV gratitude humbly borrow this worthier
response than / myself could ever frame
to the great Democracy whom you repre-
sent My respect for them obliges me
to submit myself to their praise as to
grave and emphatic judgment upon me,
which 1t would be rude to question, un'
thankful not to be proud OF, and impossi-
BILE ever TO forget.
THE RFAwAKENING OF THE DEMOCRACY
all over our land Is the most auspicioui
sign of the times. When the people OF
France rose against oppression 100 years
AGO il meant revolution, a change OF rulers
and social earthquake. When the Demo:
cracy OF America rise 1t means an upheaya
at the baiiot-box. change OF their ser
wants, and political reform. Ihis Is true
Democracy. This IS goyernment OF. py
and for the people. When you see the
farmers rousing and allied; when yor
see all the federations OF labor stirring
when YOU see in every State the grea
Democratic party up and atoot, 1t means
that the reign of plutocrats is nearly owe
and the bright day of Democracy is ap
preaching dawn. The use OF politica
parties IS to promote the expression o
the peoples mandates. The function O
| statesmen is to frame and execute th'
. same by Just and equal laws. The Demo
cratic party has this proud record. IL y

statesmen to set the statutory Landmarks
