Tonight not only were the eight moguls indicated present , but among the 300 ether guests were such distinguished democratic loudcrs and party npostlos as Governor Uoyd of Nebraska , Govurnor Peck of Wis consin , ox-Postrnastor General Dickinson of Michigan , Hon. Snorman Hoar of Massachu setts , Governor Winnns of Michigan , HOD. John Dowltt Warner of Now York , anrt Editor S. 1C. Morse of the Indianapolis Sou- tlnol. The first great outburst of applause came at a fervid rcforonco to Gioycr Cleveland near tbo end of the address by the first poakor , Hon. W. C. Kwmg of Chicago , who wound up his remarks with an exultant poetic outbreak to the effect that "Ton thou sand tlmos 10,000 inoa shall numo htm Cleveland. " Don Dlcklimoii'ii Itomnrks. When the wildly enthusiastic hurrah that greeted this ebullition subsided , the bovvhis- ' korod but finely chUolcd prolllo of Don M. Dickinson loomed Into view.
