OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION
OF
THEIR NOMINATION
A Grand Speech From tbe Next
Presldenl-Lower Taxes and
No Force Bill tbe issues-More
Tbau Tblrtv Thousand People
Are Present.
NkwYokk, July 21. Orovcr Cleve
land aud Adlui E. Stevenson have been
officially notified that thev arc the
choice of t lie democracy of this great
country to lead it either to victory or
defeat.-
The notificuticiM ceremonies took
place last night in the presence of a
crowd of people that surpassed in en
thusiasm and numbers even that vast
throng that on SeptcmlKT i, 1888, at
the same place, gave greeting to Allen
0. Thurman. The great amphitheater
ol Madison Square garden was crowded
as it never has been before and a thous
and and odd electric lights twinkled in
wonder as they looked down from their
lofty perches upon the sea of heads and
gesticulating speakers. -
Whea the doors were opened the peo
ple overrode the police, clubs and all.
They made one frantic rush lor the seats,
and in the remarkably short space of ten
iniiiuics no me room in me uunuing mat
remained vacant were the reserved seats
on the platform and boxes.
Mr. Stevenson was. the hrst to appear.
but Mr. Cleveland soon followed. Alter
waiting some time to be heard, anil for
I ha uproar of the applause to subside,
Mr. Cleveland arose aud Mr. Wilson
notified him in a speech of ten minutes'
duration that he hail been nominated lor
the Presidency.
(Mr. Cleveland responded:
Mk, Chairman anp Gknti.hmkn': -The
message you deliver from the national
democracy arouses within nic emotions
which would be well-nigh overwhelming
if I did not recognize here assembled the
representatives of the great party who
must share with me the responsibility
your mission invites. 1 find much reliel
in the reflection that I have been selected
merely to stand for the principle and
purposes to which my party is pledged,
and for the enforcement and supremacy
of which all who have any right to claim
democratic fellowship must constantly
and persistently labor. Our party re
sponsibility is indeed great.
Turning our eyes to the plain people of
the land, we see them burdened as con
sumers with a tariff system that unjustly
and relentlessly demands from them in
the purchase of the necessaries and com
forts of life, an amount scarcely met by
the wages of hard and steady toil, while
the exactions thus wrung from them
build up and increase the fortunes ol
those for whose benefit this injustice is
perpetuated. Wc see the fanner listen
ing to a delusive storv that fills his mind
with visions of an advance, while his
pocket is robbed by the stealthy hand of
nigh protection.
Our workinguicq are still told the talc,
olt repeated in spite ol its demonstrate!
falsity, that the existing protective tariff
is a noon to them, and that under its
beneficent operation wages must in
crease, while as they listen scenes are en
acted in the very abiding place ol high
protection that mock the hopes of toil
and attest the tender mercy working
men receive from those made selfish and
sordid by unjust governmental favorite
ism. Wc oppose earnestly and stubbornly
the theory upon which our opponents
seek to justify aud uphold existing tariff
laws. We need not base our attack
upon questions of constitutional permis
sion of legislative power. We denounce
this theory upon the highest possible
grounds when wc contend that in the
present couditions its operation is un
just, and that laws enacted in accord
ance with it arc iueq.iitable and unfair.
Uurs is not a destructive party. We arc-
not at enmity with the rights of any of
our .citizens.
We are not recklessly heedless ot any
American interests nor will wc abandon
our regard for them, but invoking the
love of fairness and justice, which be
longs to true Americanism, and upon
which our constitution rests, wc insist
that no plan ot tariff legislation shall be
tolerated, which has lor its object and
purpose a forced contribution from the
earnings and income of the mass of our
citizens to swell direct the accumulations
for n favored few; nor will we permit a
pretended solicitude for American labor,
or any other specious pretext of the be
nevolent care tor others to blind tne
eyes ol the cople to the selfish schemes
ol those who seek, Hi rough the
aid of an unequalled tariff' law, to
gain unearned and unreasonable advan-
ages at the expense ot t heir fellows.
We have also assumed in our cove
nant with those whose support we in
vite, the duty ot opposing to the death,
another avowed scheme of our adversa
ries, which, under the guise of protecting
suffrage, covers but docs not c nccal the
design thereby to perpetuate the power
ol a party afraid to trust its continuance
to the untrammelled and intelligent
votes of the American people.
Wc are pledged tolrcsist legislation in
tended to complete this scheme, because
wc have not forgotten the saturnalia
of the theft and the brutal control which
followed another federal regulation of
state suffrage, because we know that
the managers of the party which did not
scruple to rob the people of a
p csidcnt would not hesitate to use the
machinery created by such legislation
to revive corrupt instrumentalities for
partisan purposes; because an attempt
to enforce such legislation would re-kindle
animosities where peace and hopeful
ness now prevail; because such an at
tempt would replace prosperous activity
with discouragement and dread throgli-
out'a large section or our country, and
would menace, everywhere in the land,
rights reserved to the states and to the
people, which underlie the safeguards of
American liberty.
I cannot, therelorc, forbear reminding
you and all those attached to the demo
cratic party or supporting the principles
which wc profess, that dclcat in the
pending campaign, followed by the con
summation of the legislative schemes
our opponents contemplate, and nccom
pnmeu by such other incidents ot their
success as might more firmly fix their
power, would present a most discour
aging outlook for future democratic
supremacy and for the accomplishment
of the objects wc have at heart. More
over, every sincere democrat must believe
that the interests of his country arc
deeply involved in the victory of our
party in the struggle that awaits us.
Thus patriotic solicitude exilts the
hope of partisanship, and should inten
sify our dctcrmiuntiou to win success.
Let us tell the people plainly and hon
estly what wc believe and how we pro
pose to serve the interests of the entire
country, and then let us, after the man
ner of true democracy, rely upon the
thoughtfulncss and patriotism of our
fellow countrymen.
It only remains for me to say to you
in advance of a formal response to your
message, that I obey the command of
my party, and confidently anticipate
that an intelligent and earnest presenta
tion of our cause will insure the popular
endorsement ot the action ol the body
you represent.
the next speaker wus cx-Licutcnant-
Govcrnor Steven M. White, of Califor
nia, notifying Gcveral Stevenson' of his
nomination.
If General Stevenson had any doubts
in his mind as to the enthusiasm of a
New York audience they were completely
effaced by the reception he got. He de-
Uvcicd his speccti,.which was a ringing
and splendid one, with effect.
1 he meeting is now adiourned, said
Mr. Wilson. It had lasted just one hour
and three minutes.
It is no exaggeration to say that
probably never has there been in the his
tory of New York city such an inimtnsc
crowd gathered under one roof. An idea
ol the crowd can be had when it is known
that the seating capacity of the Madison
Square garden is in the neighborhood of
8,1)00 and that between 23,1)00 and :!(),.
000 ware there assembled.

John O. Rockefeller Keluscs a
Clergyman Hon In-I.aw.
Chicago, 111., July 21. The Rev. L. A.
Crandall refuses to make any statement
concerning the romantic story that he
was forced to leave Cleveland, O.. owing
to a love affair between himself and Miss
Alia Rockefeller, daughter of John D.
Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate.
Miss Rockefeller is twenty-two years
old. Dr. Craadall's wife died two years
ago. He has two grown children. He
is forty-eight years of ngc.
He finally arranged tor a marriage
with Miss Rockefeller, but when the sub
ject was broached to her father he be
came indignant and told the clergyman
he must resign or the Kocklellers would
withdraw.
Dr. Crandall resinned. He came here
three weeks ago and took charge of the
Memorial Baptist church, lie was seen
by a correspondent today and said :
1 have absolutely nothing to say to
the papers. This matter is not the busi
ness of the public."
"Do vmu not desire to have the storv
denied if untrue ?" Asked the correspon
dent. "There is no use in prolonging this in
terview," said he. "I will not say any
thingpositively nothing."
Miss Rockefeller is the second daughter
of Mr. Rockefeller, and it is said that the
disparity in ages added to the ire of the
girl's father when the news of the pio
posal of marriage came to him.
