NlVNNNNA I would be or could be elected to the presidency. In fact, in the preface to the declaration of principles adopted by the convention, it did not assert such expectation,
 In conclusion General Palmer said: Every interest is opposed to the free coinage of silver The democratic par ty, true to it's principles and traditions, is compelled to oppose it. (Applause.) It invokes the teacAing and policies of it's revered sages to arrest the de- struction of that great party and save the country from humiliation and dis honor. (Applause.) The United States must continue to enforce its own laws by it's own methods. In the states and elsewhere the courts must be sustain ed in the exercise of their largest au- thority. If legislation is necessary to enlarge, expand, limit or define their jurisdiction, that proper legislation must be adopted by the law making de- partments of the United States and of the respective states. The credit of the United States and the several states and the municipalities of the state must be maintained
 NNNNNN had been cheered to the satisfaction of the crowd, MT. Flower introduced the candidate for vice president.
 General Buckner was received with great cheers. He bowed his acknowl- edgments. Some one shouted Three cheers for the southern general" The cheers were given and the band enliv- ened the scene with Dixie"
 General Buckner, in part, said
 Wherever a question of interest to the public is concerned, wherever spirit of true patriotism is to be sought, we of the south feel that we can find 1t in New York audience (Applause) We remember well a time when a party built upon sectional hate sought to crush us in the south to the earth. This sectional party, seeking rather to perpetuate its power at all hazards than to maintain the good of the coun- try, used the military force of this country to eject from legislative halls the legislative bodies chosen by the people. Against that act of usurpa- ton, against that act of the republican party, this great city, followed by Bos- ton and Philadelphia, protested in the loudest terms (Applause.) Here in neighboring hall-without distinction of parties-republicans met and protested against the use of the power of the government to oppress the liberties of the people That voice was heard, and from that day until recent period the voice of sectionalism has been stifled in this land.
 Recently, too, we have had the sat- isfaction of learning from the chosen leader of the republican party that sectionalism thereafter would no longer be part of that great body. (Ap- plause.) But at this very moment when the two parties seem united in bringing together again this country in bonds of unity and friendship there rises another party in this country, protesting to be built upon sectional in- terests and sectional feelings. I feel that in New York to-day as in 1867 when our people were threatened by sectional issues we will find the spirit of true nationality. (Applause.) This party proposes to unite two sections of this country against two other sections of the country in hatred and by op- posing interests.
 
 that be to bolt or not. We follow the principles of democracy and the love of our country, and we will not follow them into the quagmire of populism (Applause). l appear before you to- night, not as a political suffragist, but to exhort you to maintain those prin- ciples of liberty for which the demo- cratic party has always intended, and which we believe to be essential to the well being of this country. (Applause) It will always be my proud privilege to remember that my countrymen thought me worthy to be associated with my distinguished leader in breaking down that sectional wall by which the civil war would divide this country in twain. Henceforward we will ever be one country and, if we can beat down this present sectional party which seems to divide it never again within the recol- lection of the youngest living will any spirit of sectionalism arise in this country" Loud cheers.)
 When General Buckner had conclud- ed Chairman Flower introduced Dr. William Everett of Massachusetts. Dr. Everett said Palmer and Buckner rep resented the true heart of the demo- cratic party and he commended them to the suffrage of all honest democrats. He said after two regular nominees had been placed in the field and the people were told they had nothing to do but choose between them, but his mother taught him that when required to choose between two evils to take neither, and he assumed that every honest voter would do as he had done and vote for Palmer and Buckner. He said: "We have stood the force of war and here tonight are two of the heroes who have labored to make 1t one We want no sectionalism, no division. It would be as vain to try to divide us now as it would be to turn the Mississippi into the great lakes and send its waters into the St. Lawrence"
 Dr. Everett was followed by Colonel John R. Fellows. The colonel said he had just returned from the south and he declared that section of the country was no more for the Chicago nominees than was Vervmont and Maine. The meeting ended with cheers for Palmer and Buckner.
