Couvkntien Halt., St. Leuis, June 0
Just as tbe doers or the oxpesltlon building
wcre thrown open at U o'clock te admit the
vast throng which had been patiently wait
ing en the outslde, the military band that
was stallenea at the rear of the Washington
equestrian statue, In the wojtern baloeny,
burst forth with the doxetogy. What was
tbe special slgnlllcancn et the selection of
the venerable "Old Hundred;'' whether it
was accident or a laudable desire en the
part or tbe conductor te breathe a peaceful
spirit el what premised te be a decldedly
lively gathering could only be surmised.
Tbe delegates) were net as prompt In as
sembling as yosterday. Nearly all of them
had turned out in lastnlght's parade which
did net disperse uutll clese upon midnight,
while probably ene-hair or the let, includ
ing tbe Tammany beya who at 2 o'clock
this morning wcre holding high carnival
at the Southern took in tbe te wn until loot loot
sere and weary, but jelly lu spirits. Tbe
gray light In the eastern sky gave warning
that It they wanted any rest bofero enterlng
upon the heat and tell or tlie day they
would have te get It, and that right quickly.
"What the delegates lacked In punctuality,
howevor, was mero than made up by thu
guests and visitors and ler an hour atter
tbe doers had been epened there was a
steady flaw until the galleries, balconies
and boxes as well as the pp.icu In the rear
or the hall were packed te BuUoettlon.
Even this early It wa h lint, brollleg In
fact, and fans, hnndknrchleW and overy.
thing olpe that would crtate a llttle wind
was brought Inte requisition. The Urst ap ap ap
plausoet the morning was evoked when a
magnificent lleral shield about lour feet in
height was carried upon the platlerm and
placed befere the chairman's desk. It was
n tribute te tha permanent ehalrman, P. A.
Cellins, or Mast-acbUBOtts, whose naine
with that et his state was inscribed across
tboTceutre in jellew rears. The Uhureh
delegates from Dakota, Cel. W. L. Steels
and Gee. I'. Megguler, who had been elected
by the commlttee en credentials last night
wero among the tlrst te arrive, and there
was a soir-satUtled leek upon their
locos as they plcked out their location. Tbe
FennBylvanlans were next upon tbe scene
and were accerded a hearty recognition.
Alter them came the OMeans and from

preamble contain au endnrsement el the
president's mesRage and glve encourage

THE CONVENTION REPONVENIM.
At 10:21 Temporary Chairman Whlte
dealt the desk heveral blows with the silver
gavel, and called the convention te order.
There was se much confusion that it
was several minuter berore he succeeded In
getting what be wanted. Then the ltev,
J, T. Qreen was Introduced, and while tbe
delegates and visitors arose be prayed.
Be asked et Ged that thu delegates
might remember that they were net only
making history ler this country, but also
te determine what may be geed for It or
bad for it and that their party and that their
works rebound for the geed of the country
nnd tbe geed or 111 name. The delegate
uttered a fervent amen. The reverend
gentleman retired and a resolution was
read by the secretary thanking tbe Cel.
orade delegation for IH present of a
silver gavel was adep ed by accla
mation. The chairman announced amid
applause that credentials had heen hauded
In trem a delegation Irem Alaska, this
being the first tlme that a delegation of
that territory bad sought admittance te a
Democratle national convention. He an
nounced that the papers would go te the
proper committee, and was about te call for
tbe report of thecommlttea en permanent
organization, when Congressman Timethy
J. Campbell presented a memorial, declar
ing that tbe Momeo doctrine should be
atrlctly enforced ; that American states
sheUld be protected from European en
croachment, even by force If neces
sary, and that tbe olesoat commer
cial and political relations should be
maintained with the Mexican, Central
American and Seuth American fetalis.
Referred te tbe committee en resolutions,
Then Stephen Mallery of Flerida took the
fleer and submitted a resolution, the first
line et which was greeted with prolonged
applause which waa renewed at the clete.
Mr. Mallery's resolution eeta forth that
"tbls conventlon approve et and hereby
endorsee the principle of tariff reform enun
ciated by President Cleveland In ble first
message te the present Oengress,and te tbe
policy recommended by him for the prac
tical application et these prlnelpka te the
administration et government we give our
unqualified and universal support." Re
ferred te the committee en resolutions.
JebnC. Welter, of Alabama, next sub
mitted the report of theoemmtttoe en cre
dentials, thn reading of which was waived,
exoept se much an related te tbe seating of
the Church delegation. It also ic ported
tbat it bad no official Information of the
proier.ce of an Alaska delegation, but Mr.
Weber cerrccUd this slid the report
was Adopted. Arthur II. Delaney and
A. II. limning being seated from
Alaska the report was unanimously
adopted. Next the report of tbe
commlttee en rules and permanent organ
ization was called ter. Kx-Atterney Gen
eral Lewis Cassldy, et Philadelphia, re
ceived round et applause when he took
tbe platlerm. It recommended tbat tbe
convention should adept the same rules and
order of business that prevailed at the Chi
cago convention of 1881, with the modifi
cation that no delegation shall be permitted
te change Its vote until alter tho;el let states
and territories has been completed.

Hen.
Patrick CiIIId. Hpeaka Upen the Neblo
Principle, el the Party,
Te stand by your favor In this place, se
often tilled by the foremost men in our great
party, is a distinction or the highest charac
ter, and an honor ler which I am profoundly
grateful.
In performing the delicate and difficult
sorvlce te whlcn you have assigned me, I
can scarcely bope te Justify tbe wisdom of
your choice. I shall at all times need a
continuance of yeurlndulgence and ceurtesy
as well as your full oe-operatlon te promote
order, decorum and geed will, until these
proceedings are brought te a happy close.
We represent, in this convention, mero
than talrty millions of thu American
people. We bear their commission te set
ler them, and tbelr Injunotien te act with
all tbe wisdom that Ged has given us te
protect and safeguard the Institutions of Ibe
Kopublle as tbe fathers founded them.
In a tlme when the world was klng
rldden and pauperized by the privileged
few, when men scarcely dared te broatbe
tbe word liberty even it they understood
Its meaning tbe poeplo.scatterod along our
eastern coast with a sublime horelsm never
equalled, broke from all traditions, rejeoted
au known systems, and established, te tbe
amazement of the world, tbe political won wen
der of the ages tbe American Kopublle,
tbe child et revolution, nnrsed by philoso
phy. The band that framed the Immortal Dec
laration of Independence Is the hand that
guided the emancipated country te progress
and glory. It is the hand that guldes us
still in our onward march as a tree and
progressive people. The principles upon
which our government can securely rest,
upon which the peace, prosperity and liber
ties of the people depend, are the principles
or the rounder of our party, the apostle et
nomecracy, Themas Jeffersen. Our young
men under thirty have beard mere lu tbelr
time of tbe clash of arms and tbe echo of
war than of tbe principles et government
It has been a trled or passion, force, Im
pulse and ometionsl politics. Se that we
need net wonder that new and then we
bear the question asked and scarcely an an an
swored, " what dillerence is there between
the two parties?"
Every Democrat knows the difference.
The Democratic creed was net penned by
Jeffersen ter a soctlen or a class et the pee peo poe
pie, but for all ; net for a day or a genera
tion, but ler all time. These principles con
served and expanded tbe ropublle in all
its better days. A strict adhorence te them
will preacrve It te the end.
DL'MOCltATIO IIKLIKFN.
Se the Democracy et te-day, as lu the
past, bellcive with Jeffersen lu :
1. Equal and exact Justice te all men, of
whatever Btate or persuasion, religious or
political.
2 Peace, cemmerce and honest friend
ship with all nations ; entangling alliances
with none.
X Support of the state governments In all
their rights as the most competent admin-
lstratotser our domestic concerns, and the
surest bulwarks against antl-repuhllean
tendencies.
4 The preservation of the general gov
ernment In Its whole constitutional vigor,
as tbe sheet anchor of our peace and safety
abroad.
f. a JealeuBcare of the right of election
by tbe people, a mild and sale corrective et
abuses, which are lepped off by the sword
of revolution where peaceable means are
unprevided.
C. Absolute acquiescence in the decisions
OttbO majority, Ibe vital urlnr-lnlH nf r.
publics, from which there Is no apiwal, but
te force the vital prlnelple and immediate
parent of despotism.
7. A well disciplined mllltla, our best re
liance In pease and ler the first momenis
of war.
8 The Bupremacy of the elvll ever the
military authority.
Ii. Economy In tbe publle expenses, tbat
labor may be lightly burdened.
10. The honest payment et our debts and
tbe preservation of our publle faltb.
11. Eoeouragemoat or agriculture and
of commerce as Its handmaid,
12. The diffusion et Information and ar
raignment et all abuses at the bar of public
reason.
13. Freedom of religion.
1 1. Freedom et the press.
15. Freedom of the person under tbe pro
tection of the habeas cerpui,
10. Trlaljby Juries Impartially selected.
And add te these tbe golden coenomlo
rnle that no mera taxes should be levied
upon the people in any way than are neces
sary te meet tne bobcat expenses of govern
ment, and you have body of principles te
sin against which has been political death
te every party hitherto, te sin against
which In the future will be political sui
cide.
A rABTr FOB TUG FKOFLK-.
True te these principles, the Democratle
party fought successfully our foreign wars,
protected enr citizens tn every clime, com
pelled the respect of ell nations ter enr Hag,
added imperial domain te our territory and
insured peace, prosperity and happlmuu te
all our people. Ful.e te these principles
the great Federal, Whig and Knew-Nothing
parties went down, never te rlse again.
And we here te-day, representatives of tbe
party that has survlred all ethers, the
united, triumphant, Invlnelble Domecrsoy
are prepared te strike down lorevor the
last surviving fee in November. Our
standard must lie tbe rallying point new,
and In the future for all geed citizens who
love and cherish republican Institutions,
who love liberty regulated by tbe constitu
tion and law, who believe in a government
notferau'ass or for a few, but a govern
ment of all the peeDle, by all the people,
end for all tbe people. This has been the
asylum for all geed men from all ever the
earth who flee from want and oppression
and mean te become Americans. Hut we
Invite and welcome only friends te this
ground and liegemen te the Ropublle.
Our institutions cannot ohange te meet hos
tile wishes, nor be se much as sensibly
modified ssve by the peaceful and deliber
ate action of tbe mass of our people In ac
cordance with the constitution et the laws
of the land. Whatever preblems tbe pres
ont has, or the fulure may present, se far as
political action can afJect them, will be
dealt with by the American people within
the law. And In tbe future, as in the past,
the people will find security for their
liberty and property, enoeuragement and
protection for tbelr industries, peace and
prosperity In following the party et the
American masses, whieh will ever shield
tbem against the aggressions of pewer and
monopoly en Ihsene Bide, and en the ether,
the surgings of obaes.
While almost all the rest et tbe elvlllzsd
world la darkened by armies, crushed by
kings or nlghtmared by conspiracies, we
alone enjoy healthy peace, a ratleual
liberty, a progressive prosperity. Wn ewe
it te our political Institutions, te Deme-
oratle teaenlnge, at least as mueh as te the
exuberant seli. The man Is net a geed
American who, knowing what we are, by
act of word, experiment or thought, In any
way will attem pt te weaken tbe foundations
of this splendid political struoture the Ro Re Ro
publeo of the United States.
A TAUTY WITH miNOiri.ER.
We meet te-day under conditions new te
tbe Democrats et this generation. Hew
often we steed In conventions In tbe past,
when te ethers It seemed as If the shadows
of death closed about us, when the day et
victory seemed almost as far away as the
day of general Judgment, it could net
then be Bald that we met for spoils or per
sonal advantage, We met te keep the
fires of Democratle liberty alive till
tbe dawn of a better day. If we were
a party of misfortune, It must also
be agreed tbat we were a party of
undaunted courage and lndexlble princi
ples. Twenty-eight years age the Demo
cratic party, rent Inte fragments, heated by
feuds that only time could allay or punish
ment destroy, met, as It leeks new, merely
te Bettle in angry mood the terms upon
which they should become exiles from
pewer. By tbelr mad dissensions they
elected te go te defeat rather than wait for
the sobering influence of tlme te close tbe
breach. Te tbe younger men of tbat day
tbe act seemed suicide mitigated by In
sanity. Their madness transferred te a
minority of tbe American pnople the
political government of all. That party,
whatever the honesty snd respectability of
Its motives, was net bread or national at Its
base. It bad almost but one central Idea,
and when tbat Idea was set In the constitu
tion and crystallzed Inte law, It ran a
career of riot that appalled all men.
The history of that period of political
debauchery la tee sad and familiar te
Americans te be recited anew. The Re
publican party, sometimes peacefully and
sometimes by force, sometimes fairly and
sometimes by fraud, succeeded In holding
power twenty-lour years, till at last the
American people, ue longer condoning Its
faults, or forgiving Its sins, hurled It from
power and again committed te the historic
party et tbe constitution and tbe iwbele
Union, thn administration et our political
affairs. We wen by tbe well-earned con 11
denca of the country In tbe rectitude of our
nurpose by the Bid of chivalrous and con
scientious men, who could no longer brook
tbe corruptions of tbe Republican party.
It was a great, deserved and neceBinry
victory. The day en whieh Grever
Cleveland, the plain, straightforward,
typical American citizen, chosen at
the election, took the oath of offlce
In the presence of the multitude a day
se lovely and se perfect that all nature
seemed exuberantly te sanction and tocele.
brate tbe victory tbat day marked the
close of an old eia and tbe begtnnlng of a
new one. It closed tbe era of usurpation of
pewer by tbe Federal authority, of illegal
force, of general contempt for constitu
tional limitations and plain law, of glaring
scandals, prelllgate waste and unspeakable
corruption, et narrow sectionalism, et tbe
reign et a party whose geed work bad long
been done.
It began the era et perfcet peace and
perfect union the states fused In nil their
sovereignty Inte a Federal republle with
limited but Btnple power; of a publle
service conducted with abselute integrity
and strict economy of reforms pushed te
thelr extreme limit; oteomprebeuslvo ami
safe financial policy; giving security, and
contldence tn all enterprise and en en
deaeora Democratle administration
faithful te the mighty trust, loyel te the
pledges, true te the constitution, safe-guard-lng
the interests and liberties et the people.
And new we stand en tbe odge or another,
and perhaps a groater contest, with a rela
tion te tbe electors tbat we have net held
for a generation tbat of responsibility for
the great trust of government. We are no
longer auditors, but accountants. Ne long
er crltlcf, but tbe erltlclzjd. The respon
sibility Is ours, aud if we have net taken all
the power necessary tn make tbe responsi
bility geed, tbe fault Is ours, net tbat of the
people. We are coufrentoJ by a wily, un
scrupulous and desperate fee. There will
1)0 no spook en tlie record tbat they will
net masinlly Inte a blot, no circumstance
tbat they will net exaggerate Inte a revelt.
no class or creed that tbey will net attempt
te reuBe, no fraud that they will net wil
lingly perpetrate. They fancy, indeed,
tbat there la "no imposture tee monstrous
ter the popular credulity," no crlme that
will net be asndonea. But we stand at
guard, full-armed at every point te meet
them. Our appeal Is net te passion or te
prejndlce, te class or faction, te raee or
creed, but te tbe sound common sense, the
Interest, the Intolllgeneo and patriotism of
tbe American people.
THE AITAIU9 FROl'KIII.V MAKAOKI).
The administration of President Cleve
land has triumphantly Justified his election.
It compels "-he respect, onnUdence and ap
proval of tbe country, The prophets of
evil and disaster are dumb. What the
people see Is the government et tbe Union
restored te its ancient footing et Justice,
peace, honesty and Impartial enforcement
of law. They see the demands of labor
and agriculture met-se far a government
can meet them by legislative enactments
for their encouragement and pro
tection. They see tbe veterans of
tbe civil war granted pensions long due
them, te the amount of mero than twlce
In number and nearly three times In value
of these granted under any previous ad
ministration. They bce mere than thirty
two million acres of land, recklessly and
Illegally held by tbe grantees of tbe cor
rupt hepubllean regime, restored- te the
publiodemaln for tlie benefit of honest set
tlers. They see tbenegre whose feara et
Democratle rule were played upon by dem
agegues four years age, net only mere fully
protected than by nis pretended friends,
but honored as hi race was never honored
before. They see a financial policy under
which reckless speculation has practically
ceased, and capital freed Irem distrust.
They see for the first time an honest ob
servance of the law governing the elvll es
tablishment and the empleyes of tbe pee
pie rid at latt of tbe political highwayman
with a demand for tribute In one hand and
letter et dismissal In the ether. They see
useless offices abolished and expen
ses of administration reduced, while
Improved methods have lifted the
publle service te high efficiency.
They see tranquility, order, security and
equal Justice restored In tbe land, a watch
ful, steady, sate and patrlotle administra

mocracy faithfully kept It Is an honest
government by an honest man"; If this
record seems prosaic, If It lacks the blood bleed
thrilling elements, it It Is net lit with lurid
tires, it it cannot be Illustrated by a pyro
technic display, It It la merely the plain
record of ae institutional party tn a time et
peace engaged In administrative reforms,
it Is beoauae the people of thn country four
years age elmted net te trust te sensation
and experiment, however brilliant and
alluring, but preferred te place tbe helm
In a steady band, with a fearless, trust
worthy, patrlotle man behind It Upen
that record and upon our earnest efforts, as
yet Incomplete, te redtice and equalize tbe
burdens et taxation, we enter tne canvass
and go te the palls conddeut that tbe free
and Intelligent people et this great country
will say, Well done, geed and faithful

Te tbe patriot! Independent cltlzen who
four years sge forsook their old alleglauee
and came te our support who slnee tbat
tlme have nobly sustained the administra

of kratltude. That they have been reviled
and Insulted by their former asaeelates Is
net only a slenal oempllmont te thelr ohar ehar ohar
aeter and Inlluence, but another evldenee
et the decadence et the Hepubllean party.
Blind worship et the maohlne the politi
cal Juggernaut Is exacted from every man
who will take even standing room In that
party. The Democratle tern ple Is open te
all, and if In council we cannot agree In all
things, our motto Is, "In essentlsls unity,
In non-essentials liberty ; In all things
charity." Te all geed men we say, "Come
In."
"Uoed-wlll no'er halted at the deer-stone."

and risk them in tne hands or tneir Known

THE HFEKOlf UKABTII.Y AFI'LAUOKD,
Somethlng of the dramatic ellect whieh
would have marked such a s pooch If Chair
man Cellins had spoken without notes wns
lest from the fact that he read from manu
script. But the audloneo was geed-natured
as well as liberal In its applause especially
at the mention of the president's name.
Tbe preposition that taxation should be
only for needed expenses was greeted by a
lively outbreak which Indicated that most
of theso present had heard et the
treasury surplus and had decided that
It whs a inonace te the nation's
safety. The applause was goueral when,
Chairman Cellins concluded bis address,
and then the convention took It easy for a
few mements wblle the numerous gentle
men who had been honored by thelr selec
tion as vlce presidents found tbelr way te
the stage. Order once mero secured, tbe
delegates had an unpleasant Burprlse In the
announcement by the ehalrman tbat be
received a communication from tbe com cem com
mttteoon resolutions, saying that it would
be Imposslble te present a repert until 8 p.
ru. A murmur went through theorewded
hall and It was evldent that tbe dele
gations was anything but satisfied with the
prospeot et staying here another night.
Nothing could be done about It, however,
aud Delegate Walters, of Missouri, availed
himself of the opportunity te submit a long
proamble and a sorles of resolutions whieh
wero resd amid a geed deal of nolse. A
communication was then read from Mrs.
Virginia L. Miner and IS. A. Morrlweatber
stating that tbey had been appointed by
tbe Weman's convention recently held
at Washington te prosent the cause
of women te the present convention, and
asking that ene of thelr number be heard
for ten minutes. There wero oheers,
laugbter, Jeers, Ironical applause, and
shouts of "no." Mr. O'Donehuo, of New
Yerk, e Hered a resolution giving the wo
men an opportunity te be heard, whieh was
adopted. Then Delegate Charles E. Beyle,
of Pennsylvania, secured the pasaage of a
resolution under whieh all further resolu
tions should go te tbe commltteo without
readlug. But It happoned that Delegate
Timethy J. Campbell, et New Yerk, had
lit his hand a resolution expressing sym
pathy with Gen. Sheridan In his lllness and

When this talented acquisition by Tam
many from her sister city of Philadelphia
appeared upon tbe platform te the right el

ence knew no bounds. Even this outburst
however was put In the sbade by the storm
that met his first montlen of the president's
name and his .declaration that New Yerk
pledged him her olectoral votes. Climbing
up en chairs, desks, anything that could
give them an olevated position the people
cheered and nheered until it seemed as
If tbe very walla and reef were qulverlng.
It was a msgnifluent exhibition of the In
spiration that the name of Grever Clovo Clevo Clove
land brings te the Democracy. Nothing
oeuld have been better than the delivery et
the speech. Upright as a palm tree with
arms outstretctied, the words falling
sharply defined aud musical and reaching
the farthest corners et the hall, with It was
an occasion when tbeoraterand his speech
aohlevtd a moasure el success entlrely por

when with arms raised ever his head and
hands clenched the orator concluded, " I

but a continuous one, and deafening shouts
coming trem Meer, Irem balcenlca and from
galleries and It was ronewod with a vigor
past imagination. When a panel in the
huge picture of the whlte heuse above the
stage was tomevod and a portrait et the

from the point where the musicians
strove against the noise In apparent
pantomime Flags, banners, hat, every
thing within reach were waved In the air
and trumpets, tin whistles and bugles ad ad
ded te tbe din. As fast as the threat of one
delegation gave out another took up the
cheers. Then attention was turned te
the New Yerk delegation, the ban
ners et every state were heisted high
and a three times tbree were given
for Dougherty and his colleagues. In tbe
enthusiasm of the moment the banners of
Alabama and Tennessee were oarrled ever
Inte tbe New Yerk section and tbe tbree
waved In unison, tbe emblematic union
or the North and the Seuth being
K roe ted with shouts from 15,000 threats.
Klve minutes ;passed by, then ten,

took her bonnet from her head and
waved It by the ribbons, The example
of the New Yorkers became contagious
and In a few minutes tbe walls were bare

Grevor Cloveland was born en the 18th
of Mareb, 1837, at the llttle village of Cald
well, Essex county, New Jersey. His an
cestors had moved Inte New Jersey from
Connecticut, and many et tbem were
prcaehers. Ula father, born at Norwich
was settled at Caldwell as a Congregational
paater wben Grever was born. He was
educated first at the oxeollont publloscheols
et New Jersey, and then at an academy In
Clinten, Oneida oeunty, New Yerk. When
only slxtoen years old he came te the
metropolis te acoept n clerkship In tbe
asylum for the blind, where he Is still
lovingly remombered. When ether young
men ei nis age would nave devoted their
leisure hours te the pleasures of tha city,
he was happleat when reading te the In
mates of the Institution, and he thus Im
proved his own mind whlle relieving the
ennui of the allllcted. Ue Is next heard
of making his way West In oempiuy with
an enterprising young man, with Cleve
land, Ohie, as his objeotlve point ; but visit
ing while en his way an undo residing In
Buffalo, he was Induced te remain In that
city as elerk in the store of his relative lie
was eighteen years of age at tbe tlme, an
ambitious young fellow, possessed of Ibe
earnestdeslre te beceme a successful lawyer.
Ills uncle favored this aspiration ; and we
find the youth aclerk In thu office el tbe Buf
falo firm of RogerB, Bowden it Rogers, and
at the same time onjeylng thu comforts el a
geed home at his relative's heu. He was
duly admltted te tbe bar In 1859, and re-
maiueu wuu nis eia mm ler years.
Ills mark lln tbe profession was made it
ence, and In his twenty -sixth year he was
appointed assistant district attorney for
Erie oeunty. Tbls position, which be held
for three years, gave him a thorough
knowledge of public affairs. In 1805, when
tbe Democracy was still under the cloud of
tbe civil war, he accepted tbe nomination
for district attorney, but was defeated. In
1800 Mr. Cloveland became the law partner
el F. V. Vanderpool, and In 18fi9 he ad
inltted Messrs. Lining aud Folsom te thn
firm. In 1870 he was nlected sheriff
of Erle county. In 1S81 he was
nominated by the Democrats for
mayor of Buffalo, and his name we
halled with enthusiasm by all clauses
of the community. Ills platform was that
of reform, and he was triumphantly elected,
running several thousand votes ahead of
bis ticket. Ills Incumbency et the cilice
was suecesslul and popular, The earliest
reports from tbe Democratle state conven
tion spoke el Mayer Cleveland's nomina
tion for governor of New Yerk In 1882, as a
surprise. It was no surprise te tbe men who
proposed tbe nomination, and he was elect
ed by an overwhelming and memorable
msjerlty evor bL competitor, Hen. Charles
J, Felger. On tbe lltbef July, ISSI.hewaa
nominated by the Democratic party as their
candidate for tbe presidency of tbe United
State, and was duly elected te tbe position
en tbe 1 til of November, 1581.
