guished guests with the following result:
General Ewlng-Iam satisfied with the situation
here. may say that am little surprised to
see that the expression Of confidence among tho
Democrats Of Cleveland is go widespread, and as

General Durbin Ward-Well have mixed I"
somewhat and believe that the Cuyahoga breth.

Democracy here does not know Its own strength
but an opportunity for testing 1t to the utmost
will be presented in the coming campaign and it
