the people.
At st. Louis was heard the voice of Wall
street, at which England rejoices. To-day is
heard the voice of the people OF America and
John Bull will groan. How often have we
heard from the Republican platform the de-
nun citation of the Democratic party for a fan.
! cied alliance with England, and now this
same party, wit a singular inconsistency, has
joined heart and soul with England against
the Democrats OF q suffering people.
This convention having adopted a platform
which declares in favor of the honest money
of our forefathers the delegation of the Empire
State of the Pacific Coast desires the nomina-
ton by this convention of man in harmony
with the principles announced. This great
State extends her hand toward the Atlantic
seaboard and asks to be met half way, and
that Western man be selected as thenominee
of this convention. Without wishing to say
aught in disparagement of other gentlemen
whose names have been presented to this con-
vention, take great pleasure in seconding the
nomination of Governor Matthews of Indiana.
This is convention OF the people, and what
is more proper for this convention to do than
to select as its standard-bearer man who
springs from that great class of American
Deople-the farmers of the United States7 Like
Cincinnatus, he was called from the plow to
preside over the destinies of the great State OF
Indiana, and so fully has he met every expec-
tation that he has sprung into National promi-
nence and respect more rapidly than any man
OF his generation. 1 think with the delegates.
! coming here from the Pacific Slope that If this
convention will nominate this distinguished
citizen of the great Middle West he will lead
to victory the Democratic cohorts in Novem~
Der.
AFTER 1880, soon after Mr.. Trippett
took the platform, the uproar was so great
that delegate from Indiana suggested an
adjournment.
An attempt was made to restore order
and the sergeant-at-arms, who is quite a
character in his way and who delights in
making speeches from the stand, addressed
the audience, saying:
Ladies and gentlemen, I want your,
attention for few moments. / want to-
say that the chairman of this convention
desires that l shall announce to
you that unless there is perfect
order [jeersl the convention to NOR
row will be held without any guests.
The delegations will be protected by the
police and the audience will not be per-
united to come into the hall. Now keep
order" [Shouts of laughter
The chairman added to the speech OF
the sergeant-at-arms that no one would
| be admitted to the hall tomorrow except
delegates and alternates. TDerisive
shouts of 'good."] "Order," the chair
man commanded, and he lectured the
spectators reminding them that they
were the guests of the convention and
/ should keep quiet so that the business of
the convention might be transacted
quietly.
! Mr.. Martin of Kansas INDUCED in some
! playful ridicuIe of the vain efforts of the
chairman and sergeant-at-arms to main
tain order, and said that if the same dis
respect which was shown to Senator Tur-
pie was repeated toward other speakers he
would move to adjourn the convention
| until tomorrow when it would be seen
whether officers could protect the con.
vention.
Hon. Fred White of Iowa was recognized
to nominate Ex-Governor Boies. Cheers
of comparatively mild type greeted the
announcement and the Boies banner was
raised. mr.. White has a sonorous voice
and good delivery and was listened to
with attention. He said:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Conven-
ton: I am authorized by the Democracy of
Iowa to present to this convention for the
nomination for the high Office of President the
name of Horace Boies of our State. want to
assure this convention in advance that this is
not the result of any question of mere local
pride, nor is it the result of any consideration
of the question of mere availability. We ask
! you to nominate the candidate of our choice
upon far broader grounds-upon the broad
ground that Horace Boies is emphatically
broad man. Those of us who know him best
do not hesitate either here or elsewhere to de-
clare with all the confidence that thorough
knowledge of the truth can inspire that he is
man of the stanchest character, possessing
powerful personality and equipped with a
com Dination of mental qualities that will
make him, if elected, an ideal executive.
Knowing we all do that the political
situation of the country is grave and omin-
Gus one, this convention must not ignore or
evade the responsibility this situation creates,
which is to give to the American people can
didate the mention of whose name, wherever
known, viii carry with it an overwhelming
strength and stand in case of election as an
unqualified guarantee for the entire safety in
the management of all public affairs, the just
settlement of every pressing ques ton and the
speedy inauguration OF vigorous reign of ex-
act justice.
