THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PRONOUNCED
Mr.. CLEyELAND's EULoGY.
Two years ago delivered a speech
at the Astor House upon typical
American. daughter and cheers.)
That speech was used at the Chicago
convention successfully. 1t has been
the sole Democratic campaign docu-
ment in this canvass with equal sue
cess, and l feel that l am partially res
ponsibe for the conditions that |
mourn. (Laughter)
l cannot add anything to what l
was alleged to have said on that occa-
sion because q creator orator than |
has spoken. 1t was the American
people who spoke last Thursday.
They have pronounced Mr.. Cleveland's
eulogy. (Cheers) They have pro
nounced it not in figures of speech,
but in figures which are disastrous
to us.
listened with the greatest interest
to the speeches of my Democratic
friends here tonight, ! have been so
absorbed attending our meetings that
1 had not an opportunity of attending
theirs, and 1t is the first time have
heard their speeches. If they were all
of the kind, of the character, of the
fervor, of the fuency and Of the felici-
ty of Mr.. Breckinridge's I can account
for their success.
Iregret that my friend from over
the river from the county of Kings,
who is eternally making trouble for
the Democratic party, ohould have
thrown brick so early. (Laughter.)
1t made me grieve that at this early
day there should have been those dis
sensions in the party which promise
anything but the happiness of Mr..
Cleveland in the first year of Office.
l sympathize somewhat with Mr..
Cleveland in the feeling he has that
too much is said about business inter
ests thretening this or promising that
and yet as or friends have been out OF
power for thirty years, want to give
them this word OF warning in regard
to business interests That business
interests have ike the wasp. bust

Then came Mr.. Cleveland's cele
