David i. Perkins Of Manchester offered
this resolution, which again elected

committee on resolutions:
Resolved, That In Grover Cleveland the
Democratic masses recognize a strong, fearless
and patriotic leader, and, considering the un-
precedented Democratic victories north and
south, east and west. that resulted from the
late campaign OF education inaugurated by
his Courageous tariff reform message to con-
gress, we regard him as the national and logi-
cal candidate OF our party In the ensuing

Colonel Frank G.Noyes of Nashua spoke
upon political issues, and was followed by
John B. Nash Of Conway. Mr.. Nash dis
claimed any assertion that there is but
one man in the Democratic party who is
capable of bearing the standard of the
Democratic party to victory. No one, he
argued, should be nominated i'm responses
to popular clamor. IL any good reason can
he shown why he would not be the best or
strongest cand idate.
Hon. Samuel B. Page of Woodsville
urged that tbe platform should contain
but single plank, the issue of the party
tariff reform-and let the silver question
alone.
Congressman Mckinney said he had
talked with hundreds and thousands of
men from every section of the country,
and the consensus of opinion Is that four
fifths OF Democrats of the country say:
Give us four years more of Grover Cleve-
land
