Mr.. Showalter, OF Missouri, presented
the name, Of Joseph Sibley, Of Pennsylva-
MIA. He spoke of the presidential candi-
date as a modern Moses, endowed with
the courage OLA Jackson and the elo-
quence Of q Clay, destined, under heaven,
to lead the American people from bondage
into liberty The name Of Sibley on the
ticket would add strength and solidity to
it, (Cheers)
G. S. Thomas, of Colorado, seconded the
nomination of Arthur Sewall as a man
distinguished for business ability and life
and whose name will fill up the work per-
formed by the convention yesterday.
0. w. Powers Of Utah presented the
name OF Senator Daniel of Virginia. He
lauded democracy as the party whose prin-
ciples were equal rights to all and unjust
Determinations to none.'' 'You have in
augurated,' he said. "a new era wherein
silver and gold, the twin money metals,
shall go hand in hand as God intended,
scattering blessings on every side. de-
sire on behalf Of the youngest state of the
union, the state whose star was placed
on the. flag last saturday, to suggest the
name Of J. w. Daniel of Virginia. l pre-
sent it without his request and without
his Knowledge
Mr., Jones of Virginia acknowledged the
compliment paid to his state but said he
had been instructed by Senator Daniel to
say if his name should be presented as a
candidate for vice president that under no
circumstances should it be voted on.
F. P. Morris Of Illinois seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Sibley and spoke of him
as a man whose frame and personality
would consume iniquities and destroy cor
ruption. "If,''' he added, "you link his
name to that of the masterful orator from
Nebraska you con inscrfbe victory on
all your banners as sure as the stars shine
at midnight or the sun at monday"
Mr.. FIthian Of Illinois spoke in support
of the nomination of Mr.. Sibley.
Although MIR. Sibley had been repre-
scented as Populist he was as good dem
ocrat as any man who had a seat IN the
convention. 1t was true Mr. Sibley diff
fered with President Cleveland and had
had the courage to express his opinions
regardless and fearless of the admins
tration and every body else, and it seemed
to him that Mr.. Sibleys criticism of the
administration could not be found fault
with in a convention which had by nearly
a two-thirds majority refused to sustain
a. resolution commencing the adnlinistra-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland.
. John. Scott Of Bath. Maine spoke in
praise of Arthur Sewau Of Maine, as one
Of the leading business men of the New
England states and as president of a ma
tional bank, as a man whose shlps spread
their white wings to the winds of every
ocean, and carried the United States flag
to the utmost parts Of the earth. He
could not promise that the delegation
from Maine would be behind Mr.. SeWalls
nomination but he could promise that
next November Mr.. Sewall would have
the democracy of Maine behind him.
