Wisconsin it gave us a Peck for Governor and Vilas for Senator. In
Michigan it gave us Winans for Governor and gave us a Democratic
Legislature, and will give us eight electoral votes for President.
In 1889 in Ohio it gave us James Campbell for Governor, and in
1891, to defeat him it required the power, the wealth and the
machinery of the entire republican party. In Pennsylvania it gave us
Robert E. Pattison. In Connecticut it gave us a Democratic Governor,
who was kept out of office by the infamous conduct of the Republican
party. In New Hampshire it gave us a Legislature, of which we were
defrauded. In Illinois it gave us a Palmer for Senator and in Nebraska
it gave us Boyd for Governor.
In the great Southern States it has continued in power Democratic
Governors and Democratic Legislatures. In New Jersey the power of
the Democracy has been strengthened, and the Legislature and
executive are now both democratic.
In the great State of New York it gave us David B. Hill for Senator
and Roswell P. Flower for Governor.
With all these glorious achievements it is the wisest and best party
policy to nominate again the man whose policy made these successes
possible. The people believe that these victories, which gave us a
Democratic House of Representatives in 1890 and Democratic
Governors and Senators in Republican and doubtful states, are due
to the courage and wisdom of Grover Cleveland. And so believing,
they recognize him as their great leader.
In presenting his name to the Convention it is no reflection upon
any of them as the leaders of the party. The victories which have been
obtained are not alone the heritage of those States; they belong to the
whole party. I feel that every Democratic State and that every
individual Democrat has reason to rejoice and be proud and applaud
these splendid successes.
The candidacy of Grover Cleveland is not a reflection upon others;
it is not antagonistic to any great Democratic leader. He comes
before this Convention not as the candidate of any one State. He is
the choice of the great majority of Democratic voters.
The Democracy of New Jersey therefore presents to this
Convention, in this the people’s year, the nominee of the people, the
plain, blunt, honest citizen, the idol of the Democratic masses,
Grover Cleveland.
