DaiLy BEE. RNING, JULY DENOCRACY'S GREAT DISPLAY Cercmonies Attending on the Notification of Cleveland and Stoveason CLEVELAND'S SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE 1o Aftacks the Tarilt and Everything Else Lesser ong Republican—Specches by the Lights~Great Enthusiasm A the Faithiul of the farty. Nrew Yonrg, July 20.—The Macca of democ- racs has been the proud city of the Empire state today. No Mohammedan could havo been more zealous to his creed, no Aztee more loyul to his mystic faith, than the great leaders from the east and west, north and south, who have worshipped at the democratic shrine today. The multitude that gathered to pay hom- ago to tho national standard bearers of the party numbered in its ranks all classes of democracy, from the highest to tho lowest. ned jurist from the beneh doffed his ermine of authority in order to mingle in common with his party brethren; the ex- confederate of the south graspod hands with tho mugwump of the mpire state, while the prosperous farmer of the west gave fraternal greeting to the brawny leaders of Tammany huil aud thus even forgot his hostility to the lords of Wall street in common admiration for the great lender of the national demoe- racy. New Methods Inauguented, Tt wus fndeed a love feast—a foast 1n which overy disciple of the doctrines of democracy mirht gather at the oard and receive from tho fountain head the purest flow of Jeffer- soman simplicity. A new ora, too, is ushered in with the cer- cmonies of this day—a putting away of tho old, and o taking up of thenew, Henceforth the platitudinous procedings that for de- cades have marked the notification cero- monies to democratic prosidential candidates will give way to a public demonstration where all democrats will be equal, and where the prospective cabinet officer will ba no greater than he whose highest aspiration is for Liis pacty’s succoss. Iu will bo u vast public guthering, whero all can persoually view the canaidates of the party aud ratify Dy their cheers the nomiuations of the demo- cracy; it wili be the oceasion of an exper enze meeting, where every worker in tho cause can give words of cheer from the local- ity whero he awaits the fruition of his lubors, and voueh for tho favor with which the laymen of democracy have recoived the vomiuations of the national convention. All he traditions of a contury are swept away in one wnovation, never to return. In Co st to the Unst, dogrees is to be efforts, the cere- If success in its vavious the measure of all buwman monies of today witl be tho established rulo for future action; for nothing coutd have been more successful than the proceedings which opened with much dignity at 8::50 this evening and ¢ osed an hour later in uproari- ous cheers for the eandidates of the national demoeracy, Itwas astriking contrast to tho notification ceromonies of tho past—cerc- monies that have taken place in the preseuce of but a favored fow, and 1 which tho great Americar public has bad no part. Reforms never go backward, and, although the advo- cotes of Jeffersunan simplicity opposed the pugeantry and pomp of those procecdings, they wero in o hopeloss minority agaizst the promoters of this popular demonstration, and the fiat of the phalanx of democracy goes forth in approval of today's innovation. Thousands Seek Admissio Before the sun had set this evening people commenced crowding fato the strects and aveaues which bound Madison Square garden, Buch was intent upon getting in- side to witness the formal notitication of Messrs. Cleveland and Steveuson of the tact that they had respectively been nominated by the demoeracy for the presidercy and vico presiaency. Tho struggle with the polico for places near the ¢oors wus constant _and vigorous until Tib p. m., when the doors swung open aud the thoussuas hustied in. Meantime members of the receplion committee bad n to tho howe of “ex-Socretary of the v Whitney, where thoy took Mr. Cleve lana into a carriuze, which was at one driven 1o the Munhattan club bouse, whero the national and notification committoes were waiting. There they were almost sim- ultuneously joincd by others of the reception committoe, “who escorted Mr. Stevenson thither from the Hoffinan house. Tho three committees. with the candidates, at onee en- tered carriagzes and were driven to Madisen Squaro garden, where theiv arrival was marked by an elaborate display of fireworlks, The party alighted and entered the hall amd cheers. As tho candidates passed insido more than 15,000 people were niwaiting them, Sung and Cheered. ‘The assemblage was a traly democratic one, the admission tickets bewng exclusively coufined to the stage and boxes, aud tho vast amphitheater being thrown open to the goneryl public. While awaiting the arrival of the guests of Jhe evening the auaience had passed the time cheering alternately for Cleveiand, Stovenson and Governor Flower, ana occasionally singing snatches of cam- patgn songs, or jolaing in the *Ta-ra-ra boom-ao-ay' of the band. At exactly 5:%) there was a little commotion in the rear of tho stage, and a moment later tho committeo entered, headed by Hon. Perry Belmout, who walked arm in arm with \eral Stovenson., Instantly there was a cry of flero they come,” and as the crowd recog- nized the vice prosidontial candiduto tho vast building fairly trembled with loyal demo cratie cheers, Gonoral Stevenson bore his houors modestly and bowing bis acknowledeements gavo way to Governor Flower, wio entered a moment later and recolved u flattering wel come from the New York democracy. Of course the great ovation of the evening was reserved for Grover Cleveland., As o entered the hall, ana ere hoe scarce crossea the portal of the entrauce, & sharp oye from tho rear gallery, 300 feot nway, recognized lis familiar form and the shrill cry of “Hero comes Cloveland!” was the signal for a demonstration thut Grover Cloveland had not witnessed since 1855, Of course the presidential candidate received the ovation with his usual stolidity, but the very modosty of the great ncwmocratic leader Aeemod to excite his adwirers to greater effusion. When slicuce was finally restored Chairman William L. Wilson of the notifica. tion commitiee stepped to the frout of the stugo sud faclng ex-Prosident Cleveland, who urose &t the same time, spoke as fol- lows: Chniemun Wilko: SMu, CLEVELAND: We driug you tonight 0 wessuge from the ocmocratic party. Wo come as & committeo from its national coun- vention, representing every democratic cou- stitucncy in the country, 10 kive you ofticiul notification that you have been chosen us its candidate for tho office of president of the Uunited States, We are also charged with tho auty of prosenting you the nlatform of principlos ndopted by that convemiion. This platform contuins & full and explicit declura- tion of the position of the nutionul dewo- cratio party on the great political issues of the day; but in all it utter n it 18 merely a devclopwent of one great princinle, that whatever govern- wonts and Laws 0an 4o for & people Tust be aone for all the people without precedenecof scotion or grados of citizeuship. It is u danger- pus thing for u political party to coutinue its existence after the work which eallod it tuto beiug has been accomplished: it will fnevitu- bly puss, as the political organization against s Address. which we contend has already passed into the service of the great special interests which everywhere strive to sccure political power for their own adyantage. Of the present politics of that purt; it may be truly said that they all tend to the centralization of the political power 1n the federal govern- ment and the centralization of wealth ina favored class, Against both tendencies wo fight as against enemics of our freedom. Where Taxatio “As guardians of that freedom we plant ourselves upon the principle that the necessi- tics of the government are the bgioning and the necessitios of the government are the ending of just taxation. Whatever goes be- yond this increases tha power of the govern- ment at the expense of the liberties of the people. The government that deals with the citizen at long range, and through officials not chosen by himself, will becomn his master. The government that is carried on bofore his own cyes, by his own choscn servants, and within reach of his own regu- Inting and punishing arm, that governmeut con be kept his servant, Yet we have but recently bavely escaped a succossful offort to strike down the government that stunds nearest the citizon and to strip from the pro- ple 1n the states that right preservativo of all other rights—the rigat of holding their own eloctions and of choosing their own repre- sentatives, 'Such, sir, are some of the issucs of the eampaizn on which we are about to enter. They go to tho foundation of our liberty, In this groat contest your party has summoued ¥ou 10 ba its leader. Four years ago in the mid-carcer of service that well dsserved the highest honors your countrymen could be- stow, as we feel sure that it'will receive the highest praise that history can award, vou were struck down, because, as A democrat, you could make no terms with those who wishea to plunder the pubhic treasury and those who sought to pernetuato tho passions of civil strite, Some Things They Have “Your countrymen will rigt that wrong, They have seen an attempt to turn tho grati- tude of a great nation into an elactioneering tund for a politieal party, and service to that party in the conflicts of peaco count for more thai service to the country in conflicts of war, They have scen every power of the federal administration pussionately used to destroy free clections in the states, and seeing all this, they have lost no opportunity in tue past four vears to honor your admiuistration, “And now, sir, we put'into your bands the commission of which we are bearers. It is the highest honor vour party can bostoww. 1t is the grayeet call to duty your fellow demo- crats can make. But we bolieve suro you that thero are no ‘weak, weary or despondent demcerats’ in the rauks of our party today, and with the peonle’s causo us our cause, we doubt not you will lead us to a victory 1 which the principlos of our pa shall gloriously triumph, and the welfars of our country shall be mightily promoted.” Cheerod Mrs, Cleveland und Ruth. During Mr. Wilson's address Mrs. Cleve- land, who haa been delayed, strove to enter tha nall unobserved, but the andience caught ht of her and fairly went wild with en- thusiasm In the very midst of Mr. Wilson's speech three cheers were givon for Mus. Cleveland, and wben a voice from the callery proposed *“Tnres cheers for Ruth" the enthusiasm reacked such a height that the chairman was oblized momeuntarily to suspend. Mr. Cleveland’s visage aarkeped with cispleasurs, but even his frown was powerless to check the enthusi- usm of American chivalry. and it was fully a minute before the enthusiam exhausted itself. At the conclusion of Chairman Wilson’s address the secretary read tbe following formal notification to Mr. Cleveland: Address of Notitieation, “To Guover CLEVELAND, Niw As members of the notification committee delegated by the national democratic con- vontion which assembled in Chicago Juno 21 it is our agreeable duty to nform vou that upon a single ballot you were unani- mously nominated for the presidency of tho United States, “Nothiug could evince the affection and confidence in which you are held by the democratic party more positively than the fact that you huve threo times been made its candidato for that oftice.

Carnegio came in for a little consideration, because he bequeathed money to charities, and then Tibbles hooped on to the churcn and preachors. “These big Sunday clubs, i ctiurches, pretend to serve God,” he ted, “but in renlity they are serving devil.
