The notification ceremonies took place
at Madison Square Garden In the pres
ence of crowd that surpassed In en-
thusiasm and numbers even the vast
throng that on September 9, 1888. gave
greeting to Allan G. Thurman.
Madison Avenue, 26th, 27th streets, and
Fourth Avenue were crowded as early as
six O'Clock by q struggling mass OF hu-
manity. When the doors were opened
there was q wild rush for seats and In ten
minutes all the room in the building that
remained vacant was the reserved seats
on the platform and the boxes. About
10000 people were present.
The committee has spared neither labor
nor money to make the hall attractive.
The frst balconies were hung with rich
draperies of blue and garnet velvet deco
rated with gilt. The upper balconies
were rendered attractive By numerous
coats OF arms and dags.
The stage was an immense platform
backed with gigantic sounding board,
tastefully draped With large American
flags. In the center of the board itself
two crossed American flags were sur
rounded by the illuminated letters of
Cleveland and Stevenson arranged In q
When the names OF the candidates on
the sounding board were lighted up
shortly before o'clock the crowd
Yelled Itself Hoarss
and the guests on the platform arose and
saluted the illumination.
Mrs. Cleveland entered her box q few
minutes later and again the crowd broke
out. Mrs. Cleveland came to the front of
the box and after bowing and smiling re-
tired to the rear.
At s.l5 the white head of Adlai e.
Stevenson appeared as he climbed the
ing committeeman. He was accompa-
MED by few members OF tho national
committee and stood bowling for two
minutes while the audience applauded.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Cleveland, ac-
companied by Col. Wilson Of Virginia,
Calvin 8. Brice, and members of the ma
tional notification committee. The people
burst into deafsning applause. He held
out his hand for quiet, but IL came not
for several minutes and Mr.. Cleveland
sank into his seat to wait till the ap-
plause should end. When quiet was
restored Mr.. Cleveland, Gen. Stevenson
and Governor Flower were seated In front
to the right Of this speakers table.
Presently Mr.. Cleveland arose and Col.
Wilson, the chairman of tn meeting, no.
titled him that he had been nominated
for the Presidency.
It was rather noisy and only compar-
When about half way through bis
speech Col. Wilson was interrupted by
an outburst OF applause given to Mrs.
Cleveland, who had reappeared In an
other part OF the house In an open box.
When Col. Wilson had finished Secre-
tary Nicholas Bell OF the notification
rom N, oe psad the off3cial lattar of =, otis
cation ~ follows:
Tho Committse's Letter.
Grover Cleveland As members Of
the notification committee delegated by
the Democratic National Convention
which assembled In Chicago, IL IL our
agreeable duty to inform you that upon Q
single ballot you were unanimously nom-
mated for the presidency of the United
States. Nothing could evince the affec-
tion and confidence in which you are
held by the Democratic party more posi-
lively than the fact that you have three
times been made the candidate for that
Office. Your devotion to the principles
of the party OF Thomas Jefferson, your
fidelity to every trust reposed in you by
the people, your courageous, conserva-
tive and exemplary administration when
Chief Executive of the United States and
administration, have won for you tho re-
spect OF every citizen. -
In the maintenance of the doctrines
which you have so clearly expounded and
90 consistently advocated, and which
form the basis OF the declaration OF prin-
ciples formulated by the Democratic con-
vention which has again placed you in
nomination, rest the hope OF the people
for constitutional government. They
turn now to the Democratic party that
the blessings OF civic and industrial lib
erty may be secured to them, and In re-
has chosen for its leader him whose pub
lie record conveys the guarantee that the
will of the people will not be thwarted.
It is then, not only with q sense of pro-
found personal satisfaction, but also
with the assurance that
Your Nomination is welcomed
by every man who feels burden of un-
constitutional taxation and the distress
of unwarranted legislative interference
with the rights of the citizen, that we In
form you Of the National Democratic
Convention and submit herewith its
declaration of principles.
Firmly believing that there 10 no other
safe repository for the liberties OF the peo-
pie and the welfare Of the nation, than
tuo Vi beuOCfhtiC
tion, we most heartily congratulate the
country upon the opportunity offered by
your candidacy for a return to the meth
DDS and measures OF that party which
has and will ever administer the govern
ment for the good of our country and in
the interest of the entire people.
That our cause.-the peoples cause
will triumph, we have no doubt; and,
judging the future by the past, the adj
msnistration which you will give to the
people OF the United States will be di-
rected by wisdom, statesmanshi hip, integ-
rity and patriotism, and will cause your
fellow Democrats to regard with the
same pride and pleasure your future ca
reer as President Of this great Republic
that they now enjoy In the remem mbranco
OF your former administration.
Mr.. Cleveland then rose to reply.
The Audience Went wild
and there was a great roar OF applause.
The standing crowd Of some 10000 people
swayed and surged in upon the press en-
closure. One Newspaper man was pressed
