The confusion was greatly heightened by the violent storm which poured down torrents of rain upon the open roof of the building and soon drenched the vast assembly. The noise of the rain upon the boards cverhead, the roll- ingof the thunder added to tho shouts and cries of the aelegates and spectators ren- dered it impossible to proceed witin bus N The chairman of the convention had to abandon his position at his desk on of the downpour of rain, and an umorella was raised over his head like a Chinese sun. shade over the mandarin in the play of “The Mikado." - ‘The sccretary at last proceeded 1n desper- ation with the cail of states, beginning with Californiu.

The chairman said: “Gentlemen of the convention: I desire to present tothe convention Hon. William C. Dewitt of the state of New York.” At this point the continued rainstorm and confusion in tho hall made it impossible for the spoaker to be heard by inove than & few in his immediate vicinity, Tho chairman de- clared a recess for fifteen minutes.

Gateway tocommerce of though, through whoso press 1ce of the world s gathered and s ed throughout the lauds; joined to the agricultuval regions by the fertile valleys of the Hudson, the Mohawi and the Geuesee, and uniting the triple cities seated on its bay, together with those greater, higker, ufffuent relations with the other peoples’ of the globe, the fuliest development. of which will be the source of our bost prosperity —the state of New York is not less paramount 1n our political than our national affairs. Her great city is the life-givigg hearu of the democratic party. Her electoral vota is the vstone of the federal arch, upon which alone wa can rest the citadel of our hopes. She realizes in her present relations with the democratic party of the nation wnat was said of the Romun amphitheater: “While stands the C Rome shall s liseum, the world." In view of this critical and important posi- tlon occupled by our stato in the 1mpending coutest, I take great pride while speaiing for the regular organization of the party in pointing o our pust triumphs. In 1885 we carried New York by 11 ;n 1886 by 7,707; in 1887 in 1888 by 0,171; in_ 1880 by ana ' in 191 by 50 that the present organization speaks not only for the stute, but is inaispensable to your success in_the presidential campaign. It speaks for that state orgamized and ar- rayed upon the lines of victory. ‘Tnese are stubborn facts which hypoerisy cannot con- ceal nor detraction obliterate. Democracy Agatugt Millionaires and Trusts. So, 100, At the outset of tnis convention you should fully understand the true nature of the democracy of the people of New York. It is fundamental and vital 1o character. We oclieve in the brotherhood of man and in all the party dectrinesof equality and fratornity which avise from ttat faith. The supreme evil of our age is the use of the lawmaking power of state aud nation for the enrichment of the few at the expense of the many. In olden tines the bandit armed his followers and descendod with fire aud sword upon tha industrial classes. Innodern times the samo spirit of rapine erects & manufactory or or- ganizes a corporation, and through a clause in a tariff act, a donation of the public domain = or the acquisition of chartered priviloges effocts the same result. Of the 4,000 millionaires in the country 1,700 are sald to have amassed their fortunes through the tariff and an equal number through the corporations. Out of these causes all tho features of an aristocracy have arisen in our social life. Cast and class distinction, profligacy and splendor, social duties and political @sthetics have taken the piace of the plain carnest people of former generations. A Slap at Claveland, The money power doininatos tho land and suborainates tho soverslgnty of the people. Patriotic statesmanship and oratory no longer enjoy the honors of the repubhe, and the aposties of trath, justice and liberty are supplanted by the pliant instruments of vast pecuniary and political combinations. In such a crisis the demooracy of New York wants a revival of the fundamental princi- plos of the party. A leador who holds tnat corporations created by state or nation aro not amenabie to the control of their creator, and who fails to sympathize av least with an international effort to enlarge the currency of the world 1n the interest of productive in- dustry, or who takes his friends and coun- solors from amoug the plutocrats of the land, Jacks the qualities indispensable to a triumphant standard bearer of our unterri- fled coustituency. Humanity is better than dogma, and the love of man is the life of the republic. H & Democrat, Our people want a leader filled with in- stincts, aspirations, shrewdness, sagaclty, hopes, fears, joys and sorrows which crow the struggie forlife and happiness. We thereiore present for your suffrages the name of him who, baving enjoyed all the honors of our state, still finds his highest boast in the sentiment, “I am a democrat.” However eminent may be his post of duty, be does not descend to us from above, but in tho voilcall of democracy he steps broudly from the ranks. Do you ask for his creden- uals! We point you to the unbroken sories of victories by which he has renderad New York a veritable Gibraltar to the demseracy of the union. When, with all the power and patronage of the federsl government = at his hand, the disting uhgod ex-presidoot lost New York state by a minority of 14,000, Governor Hill carried it by & majority of 19,000, and at evory election during tho past tén years ho and bis friends have met with coustantly in- creasing succoss. No sape man can rejoct the force of these statistics, aud in pointin the finger of destiny it must outweigh all prophecies, theories and dreams. The expe- rionce of the past must, under like circum- stauces, forecast the effects of the future, and in this iostance the eonditions remain unchanged. No Mugwump About Him, Mr, Hill never had suy alliance with mal- cortents, nor any favor with the republican purty. The vlass of men from our state who 80 violently oppose his nominution have uni- formly opposed him i the pust. Ho bas al- ways~ been nomiuated uuder a shower of their vituperation aud abuse, oud he has always omerced from the conflict with the inerausing commendation of the people. He- ginniog public 11fo us an ussociate of Samuel J. Tiden in the legislature, be has boen mayor of the city of his youth be was elect- ©d licutenaut govarnor by the largest vote ever given to the candidale of auy party in tho state of New York; he has been twice olected its governor, and uow represents it in the senato of tho Unitod States. It is not essentisl that I should embark in fulsome eulogy. His sigaally successful ad- vnistration of those great trusts establish his capacity. and you will pardon the liberty of a friend when I say that the fact that he is a poor man, fully and absolutely devoted 10 the service of his party, is worth a thou- sand labored enlogies in demonstrating tho patriotism and integrity of his charaocter. He is a cavalier rather than a roundhead. In opposition to sumptuary laws; in por- sistent advocacy of the bill granting freedom ot religious worship; in the increase of pub- 1ie holidays and half-holidays: in supporting outdoor sports and pastimes, he has done more than any public man of his time to fos- ter and develop general liberty appropriate to modern ecivilization. For these services he encounters the hostility of the bigot and the hypocrite. He is firm to the principles of economy fn public affairs, 8o long charac- teristic of bis party. During nis administra- tion as govornor of our astate, a deot of 7,000,000 was reduced virtually’ to nothing, while the property and iuterests of the state were adequately maintatued and improved. These things spexk in tones of thunder against the vilitication of his enemies. F'rom the beginning of his public career he has remained tho faithful, efficient friend und servant of the laboring classes, and they have rociprocated his devotion by a loyalty and support which has rendered him in- vincible. A Fighter From Fighterville, * You wiil unaerstand bow a character thus radical und active should stir up enmity and strife. 1t is saud if we make another nomin- ation weshall have a calm election, our dear jnterests will not bo disturbed and the peo- ple will be quite indifferent about the result. 1f it indeea be truo that politics have sunk 80 low that no man can serve his party earn- ostly without personal repronch; 1t national conventions through regular organizations have indeed become pernicious and disreput- ablo, tiien the ontire system of popular gov- crnment is a failure. Nothingis more bealthy than political agitation, and nothing is more dangerous than political stagnation. Men of kindred convictions and emotions naturally combine on all great questions of civil gov- ernment, una whero population is immense thore must b parties governed by apuropei: ate organizations. It is becauso Mr. Hill awakens party fecling, agitates tho contend- ing forces to the very dregs, excites the wrath of the republican and the enthusiasm of the domocrat, that he is a heaithy and successful domocrat. Political nominations, made to placate republicans, to pander to men who estoem themselves better than their party, or to succor and supgort the middleren, are distasteful to their people. Candidate of the Unterrified. ‘We present David B. Hill as the candidate of an unterrified and an agressive democracy. His experience teaches us that such is the way tosucceed. We love him, not merely for'the enemies he has made, but for the enemies he has conquered. He has nover been defeated, and haviug just entered upon the high office of senator of the United States if be sustains the slightest doubt of nis_ability to carry his state he will not suffer his name to” be connected with the nomination. & Besides, the delegation from New York is not itself unmndful of its own respousibil- ity, andof tha great duty of truth and can- dor it owes to this body.” We have never misled you in presenting a sterling democrat to your favor. We gave you Horatio Sey- mour aud our people endorsed him against General Grant. We gave you Samuel J. Tilden, aud in turn our senato endorsed him, We did not adviso the nomination of 1853 The consequences are known. Not for a sin- gle instant would we counsel und urge this convention to nominate David B. Hill f we were not sure, aftor careful scrutiny and de- Iiberation, fortified by the tests of our elec- tions, that he can carry the state, the vote of which in the electoral vollege under the re- cenu apportionment is absolutely inaispensa- ble to a democratic victory. Anti-Snappers Denounced. Another thought, Mr. President, higher and deeper than any mero matter of individ- ual candidacy, must be expressed before my task is compietea. In this national house- hold of the democratic party a oertain com- ity botween different states 1s due to tho sovereignty of sach and the fraternity of all, The delegates from New York were elected by the unanimous votes of a state conven- tion duly callea under the authority which has held unaisputed sway since 1848, and which was approved by 1he party at the last election by & majority of 45,000 in the state. Not a aissenting voice marred the harmoni- ous action of this regularly constitutod and authorized body. Our delegation 1is headed by the governor and lieutenant governor, freshly chosen by an unprecedented arty majority, and is tilled by representa- tives from the various districts, many of whom are well known to you all. For no earthly reason worthy a moment’'s consider- ation other than that this state convention pre- ferred the leadership of Senator Hill,and this delegation sympathized with that brefer- ence, a revolt was set afoot in our state; o: organization was formed; an attack was in stigated upon us through an unfriendiy press; a party of zenticmen were selected to come hers to contest our seats and nullify our in- fluence, and thus a distiuguished “candidate for the presidency. whom herotofore we have assisted in bocoming governor aud prosident, was put on a war-fooling toward the regular organization of the party. Anybody Except Cloveland. The contesting delegation has been dis- missed from your doors, and you are asked not merely to defeat the choice of our state for the nomination, butin addition to force upon us a caudiaate from our own homes hostile to our organization. Such 1s not the measure of courtesy and friendship which we of New York snhould think due, under like ciroumstances, to the representatives of o sister state. That consideration for the rights and sentiments of others, which is the source of all gentility, is indispenzabie to the barmony of tais body, There is no alloy of enmity or opposition in the fraternal af- fection with which the delegation of New York greets its brethren upon tuis floor. No scaly gauntlots, with joints of steel, glove our hands. Our puises will throb 1n unison with our brothers’ from any state whose chosen son should be presented to the consideration of this con- vention. We salute the rising leade Towa whose home victories shine upon o arms ke a sun burst from out the ing clouds of his far western sk We bow to the venarable sage of [lois or to the rugged foe of the tariff barons who stands by his side. Wu appreciate the capacity which has organized victory against the overwhelming odds-in Pennsylvania, We are at home with our friends from Indiaoa, We fully sympa- thize with the pattle-stained aud indomit- able leader in Ohio. ‘With affection we ap- preciate the wonderful power for organiza- tion and trlumph which characterizes the sepator from Maryland. And our hearts burned once more with the immortal fires of the sunny land when he was presented, who, in the form of his incomparable genias, the humanity of bis character and the elevation of his oratory aud statesmauship towers in the vauguard of our thickening hosts like a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night— the senator from Kentucky. Whomsoever of these may be selected, or whatsoever state may be the choice of this convention, we shall join in the exultation and bear our part to the uttermost in the in- spiring contest. This is the spirit in which we moet our brethren, and it is the spirit we oxpect to ba reciprocated. In no other way can harmony or the dignity of states bo pre- served by this convention. Clevelund Means Defeat. Tn thus presenting and conceding the force and strength of the candidates of the verious states, you will not understant us as abating singlo jot from our own preference,or gain- saying in the slightest degree our unclouded conviction thal the fortunes of our party will rest most safely in the custody of our chosen leader from our own state, Hill beat Harri- son in New York under conditions less en- couraging than those which confront us to- day, and ho can repeat the triumph with re- doubled effect. This is the couclusive point. Coutemplato the ensuing controversy from whatever standpoint you may choose, you canuot escape tho fact that our state is'the battleground of the campaign. Ours is tho coign of vantage, the point of strategy, the very spok of victory or defoat. We appreci- ate the respoosibility of our position and would speak to you like wen whose blood flows 1 their words, The common enemy is strougly entrenched in the capital. You are the gouerals of the arwy of the invasion in rand council assembied. We hail from Waterloo, and we feariessly proclaim that Hill 1s the Blucher who can drive the re- {;ublmxn chieftain to St. Helena in Novem- er. At the conclusion of Mr. Dewitt's specch the eutire Now York delegation arose and cheered the nawe of Senator Hill, Neconded by Feltows, Hon. dohn R.

John M, Duncombe took the plattorm amia applause, and addressed the convention as follows: Mr. Presiaent and Gentleman of the Con- vention—Today for the tirst time in the his- tory of the American republic the name of a man from west of tne Mississippi river will bo presented to a demoeratic national con- vention for nomination to the exalted posi- tion of president of the United States. Here- tofore the northern, the southern, the east- ern and the miadle states have furnished all but oneof the presidential nominees of the democratic party For thirty-five vears tha Tepublican party has chosen all but one of itscandidates from the west, the easterntcandidate was de- feated. Kor thirty-five years the democratis party has chosen all its eatdidates from the cast, and during that tinie ‘ouly ono demo- oratic president has bean insugurated. For over a quarter of a century.no man residing outside of the lumits of the mpire state has had the honor of a democeactic presidential nomination. 1 New York 1s Not United, 1f the democracy of Now York wore united today her honored statesmen would furnish presidential candidates for a quarter of a cortury to come, and the democracy of the groat uorthwest aud tho great southwest would not complain or. séek to pluck one honor from the brilliant stars which New York has placed in the crown of 1he repub- lic. All democrats deeply rogret that thero 15 dissension within her borders, which, they foar, if the candidate should bo nominated from New York, would fmperil democratic success: and they know that there is a coun- try. west of the Mississippl._river, purchased and wade part of the union by Thomas Jeffer- son, the father ot demoeracy, where thero is but one presidentivi candidate; a country foraver honored by tho bravery of the gal- lant sous of thesouth who foughit in,its defense under the lion-tearted leader of democracy, Andrew Jackson, The Emplire of the West, There is a land, the great empire of the gulf, whose brave sons have made the name of the Lone Star state immortal in their heroic siruggle for ‘liberty; where, forever enshrined in memory, are the names of those who were baptized in blood at the Alamo; whose deeds stand forth above the bravest acts of men like mighty mountains on the plain. There is a land, fragrant with flowers and orange groves, where the golden rays of the settiug sun are reflected from the waves of the Pacific. Thers is a land where the glistening snow-cavped mountain peaks of Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Mon- taus and the Dakotas sparkle with their sil- ver and gold. Thero is a land, the heart of America, where hundreds of millions of bushels of wheat and corn, and milllons of cattie, furnish food for our fathers and mothers in the east—a land fillea with schools, colleges and universities unsur- passed. Io that land west of the Mississippi 15 o state, larger than New York, sur- rounded by her elders, Missouri and Iilinois, ana her younger sisters, Novraska and Min- nesota; a state bordered on the east and the west by the father and mother of waters, and held in their embrace: a state whose springs and brooks and rivers flow on un- ceasiugly to tbe southern gulf, emblematic of the eternal love which should forever bind in unity the dwellers of the great Mis- aissippl valley. Towa's Noble Son, In that state there lives a noble son of New York, honored by an eleotion to her legisla- ture overathird of a century ago: s son worthy and well qualified for the highest honor~ which this great, intelligent conven- tion ccn place upon him; a son, who, born and reared in poverty, accustomed to hard labor, has thereby learned to sympathize with the poor and distressed, “with the laborers of the land, The name of that noble son of New York and adopted son of fowa is torace Boies, 1n the days of Lincoln he was a republican. But at that time and until 1880 the republi- cans of lowa wers as ardent advocates of tariff roform as are the democrats of today. Yoar after yoar they metin thoir state con- ventions and” resolved in Tavor of a revenue tariff, but never before that time in fuvor of 8 protective tariff, At thai time there was no prominent ropublicar in lows who favored a protective tariff. (irimes, Kirkwood and Allison were all tariff reformers, When the Towa republicans in 1850 déserted their tariff principtes and Iowa followed tho worshippers of protection; and whea, by sumptuary legislation in Iowa, they i confiscated mil- lions of dollars worth: of« property with- out any compensation, aur.candidate retused to follow bis party and enitbd with the dem- ocratio party. He did tols without any hope of political reward. He did it when the democratic party in Iowa had been defeated by a wajority for Gurfiejd of over 75,000. He did it when Iowa was the bgpuer republican stata. Ho was led to this.course solely by the courage of his convictions, by his con- science and s innate loverof justice. “Then He Jolned the Bourbon: From that time he has fought unceasingly for the cause of democracy, His eminent legal talents led the leadurs of the party to offer him the nomination for judge of the supreme court of Lows, but until 1539 hoe de- clined to recelve any womination, except that for governor, at the earnest solicitation of his friends and when chosen hy acclama- tion. After recelving this nowination, bis sincere, logical, powerful, truthful and con- vincing arguments brought dismay to the in- tolerant bosses of the republican party all over lTowa. He abusedsno oue, out was the subject of constant abuse. He kindled the smoldering embers of democracy 1010 & blaze of entbuslasm on every billlop and in every valley iu tho state. His scimitar flashed ut toe heaa of av army of lowa demo- crats wko had fought more than thirty bat- ties, only w be overpowered by nuwbers, mm & part, of | butnever conquersd. He infused new cour- age in Lhe thearts of all his followers, and the Towa domocracy, by aid of tarift veformers aud the opponents of sumptuary laws, who have since become democrats, routed the eremy and placed the laurel wesath of vic lory uponthe liead of their hero, Horace ies, From Victory to Victory. Again, in 1800, his volce was heard rally ing the forces of domocracy against the ini- quities of the obnoxious McKinlay law, ngainst intolerance, against samptuary lagis- lation, against paternal government, against tralization, agaiast that tyranical kingly invention, the force bili, and again the pen- nant of democraoy waved aloft in victor: In 1501 he was again, by acclamation, placed at the head of the democratic column for re-election. In the most stubbornly fought battle that lowa over witnessed, when 22,000 more votes wore poiled than had ever buen poiled vefors in any state election, and uearly that number more than in any presidential election, his majority for governor was increased from 6,523 to 8,218, and the entire democratic ticket was electad This increase in democratic votes came, not from the residents of the cities, but from tho favmers of lowa, who were tired of being impoverished by constantiy contributing to the wealth of others, under the falsa pro- tenses of raising money to pay the burdens of governmental taxation. Eminent Executive Ability, Under his administration the business of the state has been conducted systematically, successfully, honostly and satisfactorily. He has proven his eminnt executive ability. Ho hay by his acts silonced tho viti- peration of his political traducers, and stands today at the head of a united demoeracy in Towa as aggressive, as courageous, and as heroie as the noble democracy of Texas, Missourl, Kentucky or any othor state. Amony the great leaders of the party, no ono bas sounder views on the taviff, or any other poiitical question. His ideas are those of a plain, ola-fashioned Jefforsonian democrat. Ha is by nature a democrat as well as aden ocrat from principle. His writings, his speeches, his messaves prove him to be u statesman, standing at the very head ot the list of eminent men of tho nation. His firm- ness, his judzment, his courage, his iutelli- gence, his honesty, his assimilation with tho masses, his power to make men feol his af fection, bis “power to give confidence to all his followers, well tit bim for a great leader. Democrats love him for the friends he has made, and because he has led them to the promised land. Give the West a Show. Fathers, who are convineing themselves that the right to nominate a democratic can- didate east is an_exclusive Godgiven right, let them remembver thas their western sons are of age, and lot them do justico to their honored names bv doing justice to their sons. Our condidute has no one to fry fat from musty protective tariff beneficiarics to corrupt voters; but avound his head beams a right halo of "noior, of virtue and truth, which will, like a pillar of fire in the night- time of republican nusrule, lead a united host of democrats and liberal independent voters to the glorious day of wictory. If nominated, as a laborer he will rally tho la- boring men of the country: as a practical farmer he will rally tne farmers all over the land, His conservatism will bringz to his i the solid business men of the na- on.
