will make them arise and fight
as never before, and with those that they
and lead they will marshal the
great independent vote and we illagain
secure tor us the Democratic victory OF
New York. The grand Democrats under
whose leadership the city and State OF
New York are now governed will give to
the cause the great weight Of their organ
izations.
The laundering echoes of this eonven-
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 lead |
ers rallying to tue support OF our candi-
date. They will begin their efforts for
organization and success, and continue
their work until victory crowns their eff |
forts. All Democrats will fight for victo- |
tory, and they will succeed because the
principles of the party enunciated here
are for the best interests of the country at
large, and because the people of this land
have unquestioned faith that Grover
Cleveland will give the country pure,
honest, and stable Government, and an
administration OF which the great bust
ness interests of the country and the ag-
ricultural and laboring classes Of the
masses will receive proper and due con-
sideration.
The question has been asked why it is
that the masses of the party demand the
nomination of Grover Cleveland? Why
is it that this man who has no Offices to
distribute, no wealth to command, should
have secured the spontaneous support of
the great body of Democracy? Why is it
that with all that has been urged against
him the people still cry "Grover Cleve-
land?" Why is it, although he has pro-
nounced in honest, clear, and able Ian
guage his views upon questions upon
which some of his party may differ with
HIM, that he is still near and dear to the
masses?
1t is because he has crystalized into
living issue the great principle upon which
this battle is to be fought out at the COM
ing election. If he did not create tariff
reform, he made it Presidential issue; ;
he vitalized and presented it to our party
as the issue for which we could fight and
continue to battle, until upon it victory is
now assured. There are few men in his
position who would have courage to bold
ly make the issue and present it so clearly
and forcibly as he did in his great mes
sage of 1887. ] believe that his policy
then was to force a national issue which
would appeal to the judgment of the peo-
pie. We must honor man who is hon
est enough and bold enough under such
circumstances to proclaim that the sue
cess of the party upon principle is better
than evasion or Sinking of the national
issues for temporary success. When vic
tory is obtained upon a principle 1t forms
the solid foundation Of party success in
the future. 1t is no longer the question
OF a battle to be won Oh the mistakes o.
our foes, but it is victory to be accom-
phshed by charge along the whole line
! under the banner Of principle.
There is another reason why the people
demand his nomination, They feel tha
the tariffreform views of President Cleve
land and the principles laid down in hi
= great message, whatever its temporar!
l effect may have been, gives us livinj
, and vital issue to fghtfor, which hasmad

Democratic platforms and our battles hav

party. In Massachusetts it gave us
