The Koyal Baking Powder is made from Cream of 'Tartar specially refined and prepared for its use by patent processes by which the Tartrate of Lime is totally eliminated. This highly important result has been attained only with great care, labor, and expense. Tn money alone a quarter of a million dollars has been invested in patents, machinery, and appliances by which the crude Cream, of Tartar, being procured direct from the wine districts of Europe and subjected in this country to these exclusive processes, is rendered entirely fi'ee, not only from the objectionable Tartrate of Lime, but from other foreign substances. This adds greatly to the cost of manufacturing Royal Baking Powder; biit, as all its" other are selected and prepared with the precise care, and'- regardless of labor or expense, an article ia produced that, is' entirely-free from -any extraneous-substance, and chemically pure in all respects. No June, earth, alum, or impurity of any Mnd can, by inad-.

vertence or by the use of adulterated- articles or otherwise, be introduced into the Koyal," and it contains no ingredients except those certified by the most eminent chemists necessary to make a pure, wholesome, and perfect BaMng Powder. It costs more to manufacture the Koyal Baking Powder than any other, but it is, as shown by chemical analysis, the only absolutely pure Baking Powder made. ROYAL BAKING POWDEK New York.

There the committee on notification took position in the south end of the room and the members of the national committee in, the north. A space was reserved in the center," wlierej as soon" as the preparations were completed, the governor stood with his bock to the flower-banked mantel.

and are charjred with the grateful duty of acquainting you officially, ana in-that solemn and ceremonious manner which and importance of communication demand, the interesting result of its deliberations, already known to you through the-ordinary-channels of news. Sir, that august body, convened by direct delegation form States and Territories of tho republic, and deliberating under the of the Greatest assembly of ireemen that ever gathered to such a conference, in forethought; of tlie election, which tbe constitution imposes upon them to make during the coming year, have nominated you to the people of these' Doited States to be their president for tbe next ensuing term of that great office, and with grave consideration of its exulted responsibJlitres have confidently invoked thair suffrages to invest you with its functions, and through this committee the convention's high requirement is delivered that you accept that candidacy. Tho choice carries with it profound' oersDnal respect and admiration, but it hosoeen ID no manner the fruit of the Sentiment, The national Democracy seeks a president, not in compliment for what the man is or reward for what he has done, but on a just expectation of what he will accomplish as the true servant oE a free people, fit for their trust, which Is always of momentous consequence. They conceive the nubile exigency to be now of transceiidant importance, in that a laborious reform in tlie administrative as well as legislative, is necessary to the prosperity and honor of tho republic, and a competenfccnief magistrate must be of unusual tempor and power. They have observed with attent'ioD your execution of the public trusts you have held, especially of that which you are now so honorably invested.

They place their reliance for the usefulness of the services they expect to exact for tbe benefit of the nation upon the evidence derived from the services have performed for the State of New York. They invite tlie attention of electors to such proof of character and competence as to Justify their confidence that in the nation, as heretofore in the State, public business will be administered with commensurateUntellicenee and ability, with single- hearted honesty- and fidelity, and with a resolute and daring fearlessness which no faction, no combination, no power of wealth, no mistaken clamor, can dismay or quality. In the spirit of tlia wisdom, and invoking the Twrnediction of tue Divine Creator of men, challenge from the sovereign of this nation his words, in commemoration and ratification of the choice: "Well done, tiiou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithlul over a few things, I will make tliee ruler over many things." lu another fulfillment of our duty, the secretary will now present the written communicatIon Bignetl by tho committee. Colonel Vilas-was several times interrupted by applause. At the close of his remarks Nicholas M.

Bell, of Missouri, secretary of the conirnitteB, read the following formal address, prepared by the committee: JKtoo York City, July 28, the Hon. Grover Cleveland, of New-York--Sire lu accordance with a custom befitting the nature of the communication, the undersigned, representing the several States and Territories of the Union, were appointed a committee the National Democratic convention, which assembled at Chicago on the 8th day of the current moatb, to perform tba pleasant office, which by this means we have the honor to execute, "of informing you ofyour nomination as the' candidate of the Democratic party in the I ecu about me representatives from all parts of the land of the great party which, claimiujr to be the party of the people asks them to entrust to Jttho administration of their government: and, when I consider under the influence of the reality which the present surround ings create, that I have been clioBento represent tlie and the policy of the Democratic parir, I ana profoundly impressed by the poleinulLy ot the occasion and by the of my position. Though I gratefully appreciate ii, I do not at Uiis moment congratulate myself upon tho dis- tiDpufehod honor which has been conferred upon ine, because my mind is full of nn anxious desire to ucrfonu well the part which has been assigned to me.

I have kept U.M; taith because I believe, if rJghUy and fairly administered applied, Democratic doctrine aud measures will Insure the happiness, conteatmeut and prosperity, of tha people. If in tho contest appo which we now oncer -wo steadfastly holil to th underlying principles of our party creed, and ax all times keep in view the people's good, we shall be strong because we are rrue to ourselves, and because Lho plain aud independent voters of tho land will by their suffrages to compa-is their release from party tyranny where there should be submission to the popular will. acd their protection from party corruption there should be devotion to the people's interest, These thoughts lend a consecration to our cause, and wo go forth not merely to cula a partisan advantage, but pledged to sire to those who trust us the utmost benefits, and honest administration of nntl-pzml affairs.

Xo higher purpose or moiivo car stimulate us to supreme effort, or urge UK to continuous and earnest labor than effective party organization. Let us not fail in this, and. wo may confidently hope to reap the full reward oC patriotic services well performed, I have thus colled to miiid some simple truths, and trite though they are, it seems to wo do well to dwell upon them at this time, I shall soon, I hope, signify, in the usual formal manner, my acceptance of tho nomination which has boen tendered to me. In the meantime I gladly greet you all as coworlrers in a noble cause. Tiie Governor spoke extemporaneously, and not without of deep earnestness and feeling.

He seemed to realize the vreight of the respoa- tibility which rested on, his shoulders as the standard-bearer of the party. The address was not only a. model oue in thought, but "was delivered with raro grace and effect. The congratulations that were showered on hjTM by the many distinguished leaders of the party at the closoof the ceremony were sincere and hearty. After some time spent in, social interchanges the doors of ensuing election for the office of president of the United States.

The election ol! a president Is an event of the utmost importancti to the people of America, Its prosperity, growth, and liberty even may depend upon its wise ordering. Your un: onimous nomination is a proof that the Democracy believe your election will most contribute to these great objects.

We assure you that in the anxious responsibilities you must oosume as a "tandidate you will have the steadfast, cordial support of the friends of thej cause you will represent, and in the execution of fie duties of tho high office we confidently expect, from the wisdom of the nation, to be conferred upon you, you may securely rely upon the aid, upon the Ttatriotism, honor and intelligence of this people.
