cient family. which, after having pruaently
managed ts estates through successive gen.

entailed estate the pride OF the family name ia
not exttng,lished. though dtmmed and the
fame Of al honored lineage will assist the
next heir through bis trouble. Such Is
the ancient and time-honored Democratic
party, q party long illustrIous In the history
Of the country; q party which never flincheol
or faltered In maintaining the high bearing OF
the nation against jealous foreign powers
which originated, proclaimed and defended
the Monroe docttina: which acquired every
square mile of new territory which is Of any
real value, which brought us Louisiana and
the vast region west OF the Mississippi,
brought us Florida, brought us Texas.
brought us California. and established our
title 70 Oregon. Leaving out Alaska, the com :
parativey worthless acquisition OF President
johnson. tho Democratic phrty guadrupled
the original area d the United States between
the Inauguration Of Jefferson and the close OF
tho administration or Polk. A party which has
this record must always hold great and hon
ored place In our history. Moreover, It was the
Democratic party that Rtemmed and beat back
tho tide OF rampant NOTTINGHAM
and kept open the doors Of the

citizens. Its position on the currency ques-
ton might be added to this catalogue of
events II II had not been forfeited In recent
years, and 1t Il to the credit Of tho Demo-
cratic party that 1t has been the principal
champion In this country Of FREQ commerce
and adversary Of high protective tariffs A
party which has such a history will be found
to possess great tenaeity Of life. Even Its
oopperheadsm during the war did not ruin
1t, but only FRUSTRATED 1t for few years: and
It's alliance with inflationists merely scotches
but cannot kill It. With its rich Inheritance
of proud national recoliections the Democratic
party has irrepressibe powers OF rejuvena-
ton, and only long persistence In plumbers

KELLY MEETS A CHECK.
A Small Meeting in Corning and Great
Lack of Enthusiasm.
IN. Y. Times.l.

CORNING, N. X, Oct. tS--rhe Kelly "boom'
has evidently spont It's force. and the reac-
tion has SGT in Ii any Judgment can be form
cd from the meeting held here Tonight In
stead OF the enthusiastic crowds which have
greeted the combination In other parts OF the
State, the audience here did not number over
500 people, although the hall will hold GOO.
The meeting was o large one for Corning, but
here, rs elsewhere. was made up largely of
Republicans and curious Democrats. Corning
ITSELF until this year. has sent anti-Tilden
delegates to the Democratic State conven-
tion, and 10 the home Of G. g. Il. Walker, o
friend OF the Canal Ring and a prominent and
anti Tilden Democrat. The combination was
evidently much disappointed at the lack Of
enthusiasm. Mr.. Walker presided at the
meeting. A long list Of vice presidents was
read, some Of whom arc Robinson men, EVIL
IDENTIFY showing d lack OF material. The
chairman and Vice president, with the visitors
themselves, did most Of the applauding, and
there was little sympathy expressed by the
audience. Mr.. Potter left tho combination at
Lockport to return to New York, but his
place was filled by the Hon. s. s, Cox COX,
Strahap, Kelly and Holahan spoke after the
usual style. Holahan charged Gov, Robinson
with having been u Nothing. There
were several Interruptions by questions from
Robinson men, and most OF the listeners
were out Of the hall before the conclusion OF
the performance.
