GRADY'S SPEECH.

Mr.. Chairman-In behalf of the
united Democracy Of the state of New
York, 1 present to this convention as a
candidate for vice president the name
or David Bennett Hill. The represent
atives of the Democratic party of New
York state recognize their responsible
lJy 10 the Democracy of the nation
and believe they appreciate the ex-
pectation of the Democracy of the
Union in the mention of this honored
name. There is no state in the Union
with so much to gain through D. D.
cratic success and so much to y a
through Republican triumph as the
state OF New York. We are to elect
this year not only the entire state
ticket, from governor TO state engineer.
not only. as in. every other state in
the Union, every member of congress.
but every member OF our state senate
and every member of the assembly.
DESTROYS of strengthening our hands
at home, we desire to strengthen the
national ticket. And We stand here.
seVenty-two as one, TO pledge you the
electoral vote Of the state of New York
If David Bennett Hill shall be the nom
inee Of this convention for vice presi-
dent (Applause)
This is no idle sentiment We be-
lieve that David B. Hill. by the side
OF William ]. Bryan, and standing
upon the platform framed by this con-
venton, is by thousands upon thou
sands OF votes the strongest man that
can be named to the Democracy of
New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut. He is not. nor has he been in any
sense a candidate for this nomination.
He has suggested any and every means
which he thought might bring about
harmonious action on the part of the
delegation from the state of New York
and secure the electoral vote of that
state for our nominees. He may be
prepared to decline the nomination
which the delegates have offered to
him and now present to this conven-
ton. (Cries of mo, no.") We say to
you. decline or not decline. from the
first to the last ballot in this conven-
ton New. York's seventy-two united
true blue Democratic votes will be cast

To the Editor: Nelson 4.
Miles, HON you put forward recently
as q probable and possible candidate
for the Vice Presidency, would if nOm-
mated on the ticket with Major BE
KInley next June, capture the votes OF
every Old veteran OF the Civil War,
aud OF every Negro regular and velun
teer who served uader him il the late

Negro soldier, his confidence in the IT
capabilities and his admiration OF their
courage and bravery in battle, have
won for him uDdylBg respect al d con
tidenes Of the black men who wear the
Diue and who gladly followed where he
led
The difference between Col. Roose-
Welt, who Is repeatedly declining q
nomination which has never been Of
fered him, and Gen. Miles, is that Col.
Roosevelt believes that Negro soldiers
will only fight at the point of navy re-
v0lveIs in the hands Of their while
officers, while Gen. Miles believes that
in point Of courae g, discipline, skill as
hghters aDo staying qualities they diff
fer IN no eseentisl from white troops,
and are net towards, but are in many
respects superior TO white troops.
No one will for single moment har-
Dor the thought that the Negro troops
in the spaBish-ALaericAn War, Were
not Superior in courage and daring In
battle to the cowardiy 7lst New York
or that they did not prove themselves
superior as tacticlans Ia the fearful

skilfully prevented the SpaniaTds frem

When the true history OF tina, famous
charge will have been written, it will be
found that the real and only heroes

INTO battle at the point of his revolver.
General Miles can get the Negre sol
