THE SPEECH.

Mr., CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF
THE CoNvENTIoN-ln placing mama
before this Conven'ion speak
State of New Jer ey, whose 10y
atty to Democratic principles, faithful
| service to the party, and whose contribu-
tons to its success entitle it to the con-
s1deration of the Democracy of The coun-
| try, Its electoral voie has always besn
| cast in support of Democratic prin-
ciples and Democratic candidates.
In voicing the unanimous wish of the
| delegation of New Jersey / present as
their candidate for the suffrage of this
convention the name of a distinguished
Democratic statesman born upon It's soil,
| for whom, in two Presidential contests,
| the State of New Jersey has given its
| electoral vote.
The supreme consideration in the mind
| OF the democracy Of New Jersey Is the
| success of the Democratic party and its
| prime pies We have been in the past and
! will be in the future ready to sacrifice all
| personal preferences to the clear express
| sion of the viii of the Democratic party.
1t is because this name will awaken
throughout our own State the enthusiasm
of the Democracy and insure success; 1t
| is because he represents the great Demo-
cratic principles and policy upon which
| the entire Convention is q unit: it Is be-
| cause we believe that with him as a can
didate the Democracy of the Union will
sweep the country and establish its prin-
ciples throughout the length and breadth
OF the land, that we offer to the Couven-
tion as nominee the choice of the Democ-
racy OF New Jersey, Grover Cleveland.
ALL IN LINE.
II any doubt existed in the minds of the
Democracy Of New Jersey of his ability
| TO lead the great Democratic hosts to vic
| tory. they would not present his name to-
day; with them the success of the party
and the establishment of its principles
are beyond their love or admiration for
any man. We feel certain that every
Democratic State, though its preference
| 'ttl DG lOF bOuiG OtU6E
Democrat, will give its warm, enthus1-
astic aud earnest support to the nominee
of this Convention. The man whom we
| present will rally to his party thousands
of independent VoierS whose choice il de-
| termined by their personal conviction that
the candidate will represent principles
dear to them, and whose pubic life
| ana policy give assurance that
| II chosen by the people they
will secure an honest. pure and conserva-
tive Administration, and the great inter
est of the country will be encouraged and
protected. The time will come when
| other distinguished Democrats who have
been mentioned in connection with This
nomination will receive that considera-
tion to which the great services they have
| rendered their party entitle them. But
We stand today in the presence OF the fact
that the majority of the Democratic
masses throughout the country, rank and
file, the millions of its voters, demand the
nomination of Grover Cleveland.
This sentiment Is so strong and over
powering that it has affected and con-
trolled the actions Of delegates who would
otherwise present the name of some dis
tinguised leader of their own State. with
whom they feel victory would be assured
and In whom the entire country would
feel confidence. But the people have
spoken, and favorite sons aud leaders are
standing aside III Difference to their will
Shall we listen to the voice of the Demo-
cracy of the Union. shall we place on our
banners The name of the man of their
choice, the man In whom they believe. or
shall we for any considerations or policy
or eXpediency hesltat. to oDey their will? !?
FAITH IN THE PEOPLE.
have sublime faith in the expression
of the people when 1t is clear and distinct.
When the question before them is on
that has excited discussion and debate;
when it appeals TO their interest and their
feelings: wnen it calls for the exercise Of
their judgment. and when they say We
want this man and we can elect him, we,
their repre- ,entatives, must not d1sobey or
disappoint them. 1t Is incumbe upon
us to obey their wishes and concur i'll
their judgment. Then, having given them
the candidate of their choice, they will
give us their best, their most energetic
efforts , secure success.
We confidently rely upon the loyal and
successful work of the democratic leaders
who have advocated other candidates.
We know that in the great state across
the river from New jersey, now controlled
who will shirk the duty of making an
effort to secure the success OF the candi-
date of this Convention. Notwithstanding
his judgement may differ from that of the
majority. The Democracy of New York
and their great leaders. whose efforts and

Democratic Senator aud Governor, will
always be true to the great party they
represent: they will not waver in the
coming canvass. nor will they rest until
they have achieved success. Their grand
victories of the past, their natural and
honorable ambition, their unquestioned
Democracy, will make them arise and
fight as never before. and with these that
they represent and lead, they will mar
shall the great INDEPENDENT vote and we
will again secure Demo cratic victory in
New York. The grand Democrats under
whose leadership the people of New York
are now governed will give to the cause
the great weight of their organization.
The laundering echoes of this Conven
ton announcing the nomination of
Grover Cleveland will not have died out
over the hills and through the valleys OF
this land before you will hear and see all
our leaders rallying 10 the support of our
candidate. They will begin their efforts
for organization and success, and con-
tinue their work until victory
crowns Their efforts. All Democrats
will fight for victory. and they
will succeed. because the principles
OF the party enunciated here are for the
best interests of the country at large, and
