and moment later and he received a
hattering welcome. Suddenly yell went
up: "Here comes Cleveland" and this
was the signal for a demonstration such
rs Cleveland has not witnessed since 1888
When silence was finally restored Chair
man Wilson of the notification committee
stepped 10 the front presenting Cleveland.
He spoke in part as follows
Mr.. Wilson said that besides bringing a
notification from the Democratic party the
committee was also charged with the duty
OF presenting its platform OF principles,
which in all utterances is merely the de-
velOpment of that one great principle. that
whatever governments and laws can do for
q people must be done for all people with
out precedence Of section or grades of citi-
zenship. The Democrats plant themselves
upon the principle that the necessities
OF the government are the beginning and
end OF just taxation, and against the ten
dency OF tine Capitalization of political
power in the federal government and the

classes.
-Four years ago. said Wilson, "in the

During Wilson'S address Mrs Cleveland
strove to enter the hall uno5served but
the audience caught sight OF her and fairly
went wild with enthusiasm. In the very
msdst Of Wilson's speech three cheers
were given for Mrs. Cleveland, and when

the enthusiasm reached such g height that
the chairman was obliged momentarily 10
suspend. Clevelands visage darkened
with displeasure. but even his frown was
American chivalry, and il was fully min
ute before the enthusiasm exhausted
itself
At the conclusion Of Chairman Wilson's
address the secretary read the formal mott
fcation letter to Cleveland.
The address says that nothing could
evince the ELECTION and confidence in
which Cleveland was held by the Demo-
cratic party, more positively than the fact
that be was three times made its candidate
for the presidency His devotion to the
principles IF the party Of Jefferson; bis
fidelity TO every trust reposed by the peo-
pie; his courageous, conservative and ex-
emplary administration, and the prosperity
Of the country hereunder, won for him
the respect OF every citizen. In the main
fenRuce OF the doctrines he 50 clearly ex-
pounded and which formed the basis Of the
declaration o. principles formulated by
the Democratic convention which again
placed him in nomination, rests the hope
OF the people Tor a constitU tional govern
ment. The address declares that Cleve-
lands nomination is welcomed by every
man who feels the burden OF unjust taxa
sion and the distress of unwarranted LEXIS

citizen, and most heartily congratulates the
country upon the Opportunity presented by
his candidacy for return to the methods
and measures Of that party which has aud

Cleveland then faced Chairman Wilson
and said:
