His illusion to Mrs. Cleveland ns the only Dem?
ocrat more popular than the President wns loudly
cheered, but when be settled down to the racin*;
vernacular of Kentucky, he showed that, be knew
how to tnlk to a Pi moo nt ic convention. Every
rev* touch of sport inc; slang wns greeted with de?
light. In conclusion, he fired the heart of the con?
vention by moving to suspend the rules and make
tlie nomination of Cleveland unanimous.

Many cries of '" Soott" greet <i the (Sall fnr l\nn

President Cleveland's noble attitude when he said
?"'ell the truth." but somehow this allusion did
not awaken any enthusiasm. He predicted

To the patriotic, Independent citizens who four year*,

dence of the decadence of thc Republican party, blind
