His plan is to allow nature to clear away the
debris by relieving the body of the excess Of
food over requirement.
On Monday he entered upon the thirty-sxth
day, and for the first time since he commenced
his fast, admitted that he was very weak. he
said his stomach was in bad condition, but
he expressed confidence in his ability to &C.
complish his undertaking. His eyes were de-
void of lustre, his tongue furred, and his face
pinched and haggard. Still his watchers as
serted that he had somewhat improved since
Sunday. He suffered from nausea three times
after midnight. Small quantities of mineral
water were administered to him during the
night, and early in the morning, before going
on his customary drive, he swallowed two
ounces of hot water. At noon he was quietly
resting. He has received the following cable
dispatch from Paris: Don't waste strength
in driving out. Shut off all spectators. Have

The New York Democracy.
- The Democratic campaign in New
York was formally opened on Tuesday night
of last week by a very largely attended rati-
6cation meeting at the Academy of Music,
over which Hon. Samuel j. Tiden presided.
Mr.. Tilden was enthusiastically applauded
and on taking the chair, said: 81 thank you,
my fellow citizens, for the cordiality of this
greeting. i have come down this evening
from my country home to join with you in
expressing and declaring the purpose Of the
Democracy of New York, and to sustain the
nomination of Hancock. have come under
the stipulation Of your committee that, in
consequence of my hoarseness Of voice, l
shall not be expected to make q speech.
What have to say, therefore, will be but
briefly to touch upon two points: The vel
fare of the people of the United States de.
mands change in the administration of the
Federal Government Reform is necessary
to remove the abuses which have grown up
during twenty years of continuous power,
prolific of false principles and bad counsels.
The Republican party, sitting its conscience,
has made itself responsible for the intrusion,
under the color of law, into the Chief Magis-
tracy of our great Republic of fifty millions
of people, of man who was not elected by
the people. They have set all example which,
unless condemned by the people, and signally
condemned, too, will subvert an elective sys-
tenn of government of which we are so proud,
and substitute in its place rule of dynasty
of office holding over against the will Of the
people. A complete overthrow of the Repub-
lican party in the election Of 1880 will be a
retributive judgment, and will prevent repe-
tition hereafter of the crime of '76 against the
sovereignty of the people | congratulate
you upon the nomination, and | congratulate
you upon the auspicious prospects of success.
I see it in every quarter, and now we will pro.
ceed to the order of business of the meeting"
Speeches were then made by S. j. Randall
and other prominent men in the Democratic
party, and the utmost harmony prevailed.
