The Detnocratic National Convention

Chicago, Tuesday. the 21st inst., by Chair

GROVER CLEVELAD.
as for bearing the speeches or discerning
the features of the speakers the majority
of the audience was about as well off as
the on-lookers at a spectacular exhibi
tion of the "Fall of Bablyou".
Nevertheless the discomforts were in
great part taken goo( humoredly and to
be in and to fori a part of a great
National Democratic convention see:med
to be soul-satisfying glory enough,

The Convention was opened with

Tbe second day of the Convention

leaders still full of tight agatinst Cleve

who couid cause a break mn the Cleve

were conriident of victory. b'ut feared
delay. Offers were made to Campbell.
of Ohio. by the lilli men, but he would
not allow his r.'ame to be presented.
The New Yorkt s accewe GJormn of
misleading them, in deiinn to go be

Precisely at 11:30 Tempor:ary Chair
man Owens ratpped th- Con vention te
order, and called uponi the Re~v. Alfred
Henry, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Chicago, to oter prayer.
When the prayer was concluded the
report of the Committee on Credentials

not ready further time was given the

This Convention has a hieh and patriot;C
duty to p,eriotfor. We owe much to oparty:
we owe more to our country. '1 he miseion of
the Democratic party is to ight for the under
dog. When that party is out of power we may
be sure there is an under dog to :dht for, and
the under dog is the American people. When
that party is out of power we .1ty b"- sure
that some party is in control of our Govern
meat that represents a r_et:o: and not the
whole country.

party candIdatea. or the utter.:oeS of the
party leadirs, :neans that the peopl., are to be
stripped of their franchise through force bills
in order that they may be stripped of theirsub
stance throutgh tariff bills.
When . ou conflr upon the Government the
power of deai:ng out wealth you unchain every
ev-il that can prey upon and eventually destroy
free inst ituztions~--execssive taxation, class tax
ation, hullia dol!ar congresses, a colrrupt civil
servie, at deuce ballat-box and purchased
electionts. Ini every c-ampaign the privilege of
taxin;r the people will be bartered for contri
butions to corrupit them at the pol::. At flr
every victory a new M1cKiuiey bill to repay
there contributions with usury, out of taxes
taken fro:n the people. F'or every self-govern
ingz poide there can be no mtore mton:ent,tus
question than the questiont of taxatIon. It is
the question, as MIr. Burke truly said, around
which all the great battles of freedotn havo
b)een fought. It is the questioni out oIf which
grow all the issues of gIvernmaent. Until we
settle thIS quelSt ion wisely, pe-rmfantt(tly, justly,
we build all 0t h:r reformis on a foundat ion of
sand.
We and thI- great party we represen:t rr to.
day for terif r efe rrn, bevanoe it is thle only
gateway to Ig:a u:t:e I )emlocratic government.

Sectio' a-We warn the people of our con
mon country jcalots for the preservatitnl o
their fr'e iaatitutious, that the policy of th
Federal control of elections to which the Re
pliican p arty has committed itself, isfraugh
withthe gro vest dangers, scarcely less momen
tols than woul-i result from a revolutlot
practicaltlfysablisling monar.hy on the ruin
of tr Repulie. It strikes at the North a
well is the South, and injures tl; colored
Citiz." C even t:lo'e than the white: it mean
a hrdtle of teputy marshals at .evcry polling
p:ac(, am-. with Federal power, returning
:"a'ds a'pointed and controlled by Federa
authority, the outrage of the electoral right
oho :!m people in the several Stated, the subju
:aion of tit colored people to the control o
the party i power and the reviving of rac
an!tao,s:ns now happ!ly abated, of the ut
mo-t peril to the safety and happiness of al]
a mc-.ue dliberttcly and justly describet
by : l.:in:;:- 1epublican Senator as "the mos

of the Senate"
Two ar a:o this revolutionary policy wa

po::but in conttempt of that verdict, th
i:"";)ubliet party has defiantly declared in it
.rtt:St authoriative utterance that itssucces
in the cumiag elections will mean the enact
reent of the Force bill and the usurpation o
despotiv control over elections in all th
1hieving that the preservation of Republi
etGv:n-l:.._t in the United States is depeni
; rt upon th" defeat of this policy of legalize
rce ani fraud, we invite the assistance o
ii citi'z"s who desire to see the constitutio:
i::lln:1a in its integrity with the laws pur
suant thvrt-to which have given our countr;
a hundred years of unexampled prosperity
and 9 pled go the Democratic party if it b
cot ".1 with power, not only to the defea
of .e!otrcc bill, but also to relentless opposi
tion to the R.epublican profligate expenditur
which, in the short space of two yeas ha
I squandered an enormous surplus and emptie
an overflowing treasury, after piling new bur
dens of tanition upon the already overtaxe
Slabor of the country.
Section 3-We reiterate the oft-repeate
doctrines of the Democratic >arty that the ne
cessity of the Government is the only justif
cation for taxation, an.1 whenever a tax is un
n ;eces.ry it is unljustitiabe: that when custor

We reaffirm the declration of the D>einoeratio
lational Convention of 18713 for the reform of
the civil service, and wr call for the hones t
enforcement of all laws regard n. sane. The
nomination of a Prosident as in the last ite
publican convention by delegates consistin;g
largely of his appointees, holdin;; omee at his
pleasure, is a scandalous atire upon free
povular institutions and a startling illusta
tionof tho,mcthods by which a Presi.lent may
gratify his ambition.
Section 10-The Democratic party Is the
only party that has ever given the country a
ioreign policy consistent and . i;orous. com
pellIng respect abroad auln inspiring e,ni.
dence at home. While avoiding entangling
alliances, it has aimed to cultivate frletnly
relations with* other nations and especially
with our neighbors on the American Conti
nent, whose desti..y is closely mingled with
our own, and we view with alarm the tendency
to a policy of irritation and bluster which is
liable at any timo to confront us with the
alternative of humiliation or war. We favor
the maintenance of a navy strong enough for
all purposes of National defense, ao to prop
erly maintain the honor and dignity of the
country abroad.
" GOVERNOR BOIES
Section 11 condemps the oppression
practiced by the Russian Government
upon its Lutheran and Jewish subjects
and calls upon our Government to use
its prompt and best efforts to bring
about a cessation of these cruel per
secutions.
Earnest sympathy is extended to the
Home Rule cause in Ireland.
Section 12 favors legislation !fok
ing to the prevention of the landiag of
undesirable immigrants.
Section 13 praises the patriotism of
Union Soldiers and Sailors of the war
and favors just and liberal pensions,
but demands reform in the Pension
1Office.
Section 14 advocates the improve
3ment by the Federal Government of the
.Aississippi River and other great water
ways of the Republic.
Section 15.-For purposes of national defence
and the promotion of commerce between the
States, we recogmize the early construction of
the Nicaraugua Canal and its protection against
foreign control as of great Importance to tht
United States.
Section 11--Reccognizing the World's Com-.
ubien E >osition as a National undertaking of
vast importance, in which the general Govern
ment has invited the co-operation of the
nations of the world, and appreciating the ac
ceptance by many such powers of the invita.
tion so extended. and the broad and liberal of
forts being madie by them to contribute to the
grandeur of the undertaking, we are of the
opinion that Congress should make such neoes
sary financial provision as shall be requisite to
the maintenance of national honor and publie
faith.
Section 1 recommends that the States
make more equal appropriations for the
purchase of schools and the furtherance
of education.
Section 18 f..-ors the early admission
to Statehood of all Territories having
the necessary population and resources.

The question has been asked why it is thai
the masses of the party denant the no:nina
tion of Grover Cleveland. Why is it that this
man who has no offices to distribute, no
wealth to command, should have secured t
spontaneous support of the great body El
Democracy? Why is that with all t htt has bee:
srged against him the people still cry: "G ive
os Cleveland?" Why is it that :ltimigh ho
has prounced in clear, earnest and able Jan
guage his views upon questions upon which
some of his party may differ with him, that be
is still near and dear to the masses? It is be
cause he has crystalized into a living issue the
great principle uuon which this battle is to be
fought out at the coming elect ion.
We must honor a man who is honest enough
and bold enough, under such circurmstances
to proclaim that the success of the rar: v upo:
principle is better than evasion or shi:"k ag o
the true National issues for temporary success
There is another reason why the t"1l>c tie
tand his nomination. They feel that th,
tariff reform views of President Cleveland and
the principles laid down in his great. rtss:ae
whatever its temporary effect may ha'" I ,-en
gave usa living and vital issue to fight, whIe!
hal made the great victories since 1, SS tosi
ble. It consoiidate'd in one solid phalanx tih
Democracy of the Nation. In every Stat': of thi
Unon that policy has been placed in I)e:no
cratic platforms and our battles have L:e't
fought upon it, and this great body of r.-pre
sentative Democrats have sect' its good r
stilts. Every man in this Convention recog
nizes this as the policy of the party.
It Is the wis+st and best policy to noainate
again the mtt whose policy inade tLese sue
cesses possil,le. The peeplc believe hat t b;St
victories, which gave us a Democratic Ifousc
of Representatives in 18O0 and Dmocratit
Governors and Senators in Republican ant
doubtful States, are due to the courage anu
wisdom of Grover Cleveland. And so lwlicv
ing they recognize him as their great leader.
The Democracy of New Jersey Iiresents tz
tis Convention, in this, the people's year, the
plain, blunt, honest citizen, the idol of lth
Democratic masses-Grover Clevel- ad.
When Gov. Abbett named Cleveland
the delegates sprang to their feet, many
of them mounted chairs, hats were
thrown into the air, and the noise of
the cheering was deafening. Michigan's
banner waved aloft again. The enthus

Itevult of the Chicago Convention
The Result of Cleveland'a Nou
ination on the Markets at
h ome and Abroad.
N1w Yonl, June ''3.-Now that the
ot.ination is made there is no doubt
hat the Deneratie machine will be
et to work for Cleveland, and Senator
lili will be the head and front of the
I)etmovratie campaignr in this State.
levehind has had the lead so long that
e;t I>emocrats have discounted the
feet of his nomination, and it is very
ikely that outside of the large cities
here will be no> serious Democratic de
This defeat of the Anti-Cleveland
ien is already charged to Arthur P.
;ortian. Had he remained with the
'inority they say the necessary 300
Nould be found and Taminany and the
NewYork Democracy would be feeling
.righter and happier this evening.
Very few persous in this city knew
hat Grover Cleveland had been chos
n as the standard bearer of the Demo
-ratic party when they started off for
heir places of business this morning.
The latest reports in the morning
apters told of the nom'ination speeches,
md it was generally supposed that the
rst ballot would not be taken till this
tfternoont. The first news that the
evr Yorkers generally had of his uoiii
nation came fron the newspaper bul
etin boards and the early morning
:xtra editions of the papers which they
;ot clown town. There was apparent
y no great excitement because the
ieus has been discounted by reports
rant Chicago during the last three
Jays.
S:nce Tuesday night Cleveland's
aomination had been regarded as an
tbsolute certainty, and nearly every
body this morning had the pleasure of
ay :ng to everybody he met: "I told
ro so." No one laid claim to the re
ma:kably prophetic powers for predict
in his nomination.
There was much satisfaction felt by
the members of the New York Stock
lx:lange as they gathered in the bull
ring to-day and exchanged views on
the political situation. The Democrats
at'ered in groups and vented their
enthusiasm in cheers and cat calls, and
the Republicans confessed that the
issue was made and they had a hard
battle to fight,while the Independents,
wbo sustained Cleveland so eflectively
four and eight years ago, beamed with
happiness.
All agreed, Democrats, Independents
and Republicans alike, that Cleveland
wa s the strongest business men's can
didate that could be named, and the
effect of his nomination was shown by
the strong openiug of the market. The
representatives in Wall street of for
eign houses declared that his nomina
tion would restore European confi
dence and greatly strengthe:a Ameri
ean securities.
In the first hour of business initiat
ory steps were taken for the organiza
tion of a Cleveland club in the Stock
Exchange, and the call of the meeting
was issued by H. H. Hart. 'The meet
ing will be held at 3.30 o'clock to-mor
row afternoon at the office of C. J.
Hudson & Co., :30 Wall street.
A t the hotels groups gath 'red in the
lobbies and talked about Cleveland's
prospects of election. One very notice
abe thing was that every prominent
Re publican seen at the hotels conceded
that Cleveland is the strongest candi
dae the Democrats, could have taken.
They all along feared his success at
Chicag~o, for t hey regard hint as the one
Democrat who could endanger Repub
lican victory.
E-x-Sentator Warner Miller was
taing an after-breakfast walk in the
Fifth Avenue Hotel corridor whe~n
aswed what he thought of the action of
the Democratic Convention. "I be
lieve," lhe replied. 'that Cleveland is
the strongest man they could pit
against Harrison. He is a representa
ti'.e of the p)resent D)emocratic ideas,
andl as such fittingly deserved the n~
mination. I don't think . he will be
elected. No Democrat can be elected,
ut Cleveland will give tus a lively
fight."'
Several smaller politicians, who hang
around the Fifth Avenue Hotel corri
der whenever political news is going
about, echoed the sentiments exp)ressed
by1 the b,ig men.
A remiarkab)le thing about it is that
ater the former Presidental conven
ti>nis the candidates named have been
usually pronounced the weakest in
their p)arty. The sentiment is generally
e:pesed too, that the nomination in
sti:es a camtpaign of public issues, and
devoid of p)ersonalities -and mtud sling
.Janitor Kelly, of Tammliany- Hall,
1 dered the painting of Cleveland's
portrait at " o'clock this morning. On
Saturday the front of the wigwam will
be decorated with a transparency, :25
bg2 feet, with the names and pie
tures of the D)emocratic candidates.
Senator Gieorge F. Roesch's followers
i. the lutth Assembly district were the
i .t to take their places in the Cleve
lud p,rocession. At 6 o'clock they had
a banner with Cleveland's name on it
st rung across 2d avenue and 5th street.
Teir club house is also gaily decorated
w ith flage and streamers of bunting.
To-uight they will ratify his nomtina
tion!.
The few Brooklyn Democratic politi
cas who did not go to Chicago as
sebled early at the City Hall, and
u bile they discussed the nomination
fr eely they were not so free to express
o:iins to rep<(rters. Mayor Boody
was all smiles when a reporter appro
a:h' ltimi lm sai- "T arun a ('lev.
land man and always have been, al
though I would have been pleased at
the nomination of Hill. It was the will
of the people that Cleveland _,ho::ld be
chosen, and the people can be trusted.
The party and the nation should he
congratulated. This should be the
greatest campaign in th- na:,ou's his
tory."
Boss Hugh McLaughlin said: "It i;
:a good nomination. buit I have iotihing
further to sa about it..'

NEW YORK MUST iii: TRU-E TO I:;nsr..
N\W YoRK, June 21.-The World
editorially says : "Grover (leve:land
must have the electoral vote of New
York. The Democracy of the rest of
the country did not aecelpt the dictated
decree of the mid-winter ':onvention as
the full, free and final expres-ion of the
Democrats of New York. In this it was
right.
Snap judgment can never be accepted
as conclusive. The only objection
brought against his nomination was
that he could not carry New York. It
was never urged that he is not honest,
that he is not capable, that lie is not
faithful to the Constitution. He meets
the Jeffersonian test perfectly, but be
ause some people like hint and other
people do not it was said that he can
not carry New York. It is a libel on
the Empire State."
CLEVELAND RECEIVES TH E NEWS.
Prooundly Touched at the Honor Paid
Him.
BuzzARD's BAY, 3Ass., .June 23.
At 4.31) this morning Mr. Cleveland,
through Governor Russel!, sent from
Gray Gables the following press state
ment to the press:
"I should certainly be chargeable
with dense insincerity if I were not
profoundly touched by this i,ew proof
of confidence and trust of the great
party to which I belong and whose
mandates claim my loyalty. I am
confident that oar fellow countrymen
are ready to receive with approval the
principles of true Democracy, and I
cannot rid myself of the belief that to
win success it is only necessary to per
sistently and honestly advocate those
principles.
'Difference of opinion and judgment
in Democratic conventions are by no
means unwholesome indications, but
it is hardly conceivable, in view of the
importance of our success to the coun
try and to the party, that there should
be anywhere among Democrats any
lack of harmonious and active effort to
win in the campaign wLich opens be
fore us. I have therefore no concern
on that score.
"It will certainly be my constant en
deavor to deserve the support af every
Democrat."
Cleveland v:as terribly tired wvhen
the news of the total of the balloting
reached him. Joseph H. Jefferson dle
parted at 4.30 o'clock from Gray Gables.
Mrs. Cleveland wvent to bed at 4o'clock
ad when the nominee of the. Demo
cratic party sought his chamber it was
nearly 5.
Cl>)udiness and rain have marked the
day at Gray Gables and Cleveland has
passed the entire day at home. Hie has
had a fe .e callers, but his time has been
largely occup)ied in reading telegrams
of congratulations from various sources,
of which he has had over two hundred,
and many more are yet to come, hav
ing been delayed in Boston by the
crowded condition of the wires. The tel -
egrams in the main are idecntical in lan
gauge. Among the dispatches are one
or two fromt members of the Tammaniy
organization of New York, but largely
the telegrams have been fromt Demno
cratic friends.

Wednesday night several prominent
gentlemen of the city remained at the
State office all night to hear the result
of the balloting for the nomind ion for

When the final message got in at 4.43
o'clock yesterday miornineg these gentle
men sent the following message 11ash
ing over the wires to the nIomlinee,
within Iwvo minutes after the receipt of
the bulletin, thus making it probably
the very first mienage of that kind
Cleveland received fromt tihe southt:
