 | The committee made short work of the New York, Illinois and District | of Columbia contests, unanimously We deplore his death as that of the first citizen of the United States the pre-eminent embodiment of the political and social truths, that from unselfish service gives the noblest power and that the power of influ ence is vastly greater than the might of authority. Finally, we commend to American youths the study of this most striking example of universal honor and reverence won by true character through sturdy adherence to undying principles, and We hereby direct the officers of this convention to transmit by telegraph to Mrs. Cleve- land, in Princeton, N. J., this expres- sion of our sorrow and our pride.
 We further request Democrats in the senate and the house of repre- sentatives to take steps to insure the erection in Washington at the earliest day possible of an adequate national monument to commemorate the servic es of Grover Cleveland
 Tt is still further resolved that, in respect for the memory of this great | Democratic statesman and patriot, this convention shall immediately adjourn until 10 o'clock on Wednesday, July S. 1908"
 The former standard bearer of the Democratic party read his resolution in ringing voice, and he was accorded the most careful attention throughout the reading of the resolution, applause compelling him to halt in his delivery.
