''Quicksep" from Rgolesto was then performed,
after which the Chairman introduced
Gen. JAMES NYE, formerly OF Madison but now Of
tbis CITY, who was received with cheers-He said:
Mr.. President Ladies and Gentlemen-This is the
first time that my Democracy has ever been tested
behind the foot lights laughter. Ny embarrassment
N that am afraid that in this glare of light it or my
self will not appear TO good advantage. 1t s well,
Sir 10 with draw for hour two in this way, and
IL would be well these anniversaries more often
in their occurrence that we should take ourselves
more frequently from the turmos OF the day and dis
cuss for few minutes the foundation on which all po
6ticai parties stand ! have thought Sir, th4t the
great fault of the present is that have too little of
he Fundamental doctrines of Democracy which are,
indeed the pillars that stand as the Precipitation OF the
glorious principles of our happy country. Sir Dem
crazy and all atoms to further IT. have my warm
est sJmpathes. 1t is simple plain tale: 1t was sent
out originally upon simple errand to fight the bat
ties Of Freedom everywhere, wherever its opposite
was found. Its principles, Sir, are as elevating as
they are general. II has raised the man
of low means to par, politically, with
The weaIthiest of our country. It has made men
men II has elevated the lowest to a level, politically,
with the highest 1t has given into the youthful hand
a weapon as potent as that held by Hercules. It's
date it's origin not very long ago, but the principles
Of Democracy are as old as man. Under other
fprlns of government, Democratic Clubs have been
formed and Democratic Clubs existed, but they cannot
exist in their full beauty and appear as they do here
where every man meets bis equal Democratic Clubs
under other forms of government closely watched
and when they would unfedge their wings fully and
fit the uttermos portions of the country IN which
they formed, those wings are clipped by the knife
of the tyrant's sword and stripped of their strength
ard their beauty. Not so here. have but simple,
single ord of advice to give this Democratic Club,
that IT, that its polar star should be the star OF right
That it should weigh carefully and adjust well every
princiI e of the Democratic party, and when ascer-
tsped TO be true they should be bold in their deca
ration as truth always make men bold In that way,
Mr. President this Club when il has counted its fifty
and three years when those locks that now black
as the ravens pumage shall be whitened with
years, and when that freshness which is now
upon their checks shall have given place to
of this Democratic Club, be able TO look back upon
the past and to LAY: No principle has been advanced
the whole of its existence that has not tended to the
elevation of man and the universal night OF all
ICheersl. Democracy, Mr.. Chairman is Waterman,
sleepless and vigilant Waterman. Its eye Is never
closed its ear never stopped but it quick to catch
the sound of the approaching evil. As champion 1t
girds on IFS full armor and battles ITS opposite when'
ever and wherever found. Sir, it will be victorious,
because it has in itself and with itself the deep pusa-
tons of human rights lCheersI. Democracy, sir IL
phlsnthropic 1t does not stop to inquire where
man was born SO be il he is man. 1t embraces him.
II does not stop to inquire, Sir, whether the blood OF
the Fenchmen that was spilled here in our Revold-
tonary struggle has sprung mp and thrown out shoots
as vigorous as those of American blood. Ii does not
stop 10 inquire but il remembers with vigorous recol
kciion that the blood of Polands best son mingles
with American blood, and the uit was the JOINT pro-
duciion which see everywhere amid the broad
spread beauties of our own country lApplausel.
Democracy stops not TO inquire what your
cline may be. 1t requires OF you only that
regard that proprety always would dictate;
kind charity for every who differs with u.s. assuT
ting no particular length breath that any democratic
family shall have, but gives broad latitude ON ques-
tons of minor Importance but the simple inquiry u.s.
Is he man at hear-a DeDocratl and If so, he is a
brother everywhere. Now, sir do not like this mar
row policy that has sprung up IN modern tunes. Out
of what II grew am not going to stop to inquire but
what its fruit will be II Is well for US to see. had oc-
easion to remark the other evening in another place
that that party had together by the principles of

Then, Sir, il is not remarkable that when these days
come they should have readily dissolved. IL rose
too quickly; its growth,was too rapid II grew in the
night. But, Sir ike the famous gourd, 1t had worm
At the root Its growth surprised its parents and
they had idea of it's dimensions at the time II was

had no strength Laughter Its limbs could not sus-
tain the immense body that 1t had. Its heads and
horns were as many as those the famous dragon mad
