dricks. All the Exchanges and Trades that
were represented In the parade Of Novem-
Der LIST sent delegations. Tho building was
packed. although the notice Of the meeting
was first given out only yesterday. The en-.
thusiasm was extreme. The great crowd
plainly made known that the Democratic
candidates had been elected.
Carl achurz was met with the widest
kind of reception. lie and Samuel J.
Randall sat together near the Chairman,
August Belmont. Mr. Belmont in his open
ing address said the Democratic party had
won victory and nothing would be allowed
| to interfere with Cleveland's inauguration.
Every time this sentiment was expressed
during the evening, the building shook with
applause.
When Carl sehurz was introduced there
was another tornado. Mr.. Schurz said: I am
here to exchange congratulations as one
of the Independent Republicans who felt 1t
to be their duty to turn their back upon the
candidate Of their own party and to support
Grover Cleveland (great cheersl as the ex-
ponent and representative OF official integ-
rity, and the administrator of reform (great
cheering). ] apprehend that this is not a
mere party triumph, as narrow use of the
the word, but is emphatleally the
victory of honest government In Amer
lea, and OF national honor In the eyes
OF the whole world. [Cheers.l Its greatness
cannot be measured by the size OF our ma
jority, for that majority is not very large.
but 1t may be measured by the power we
have had to overcome and the greatness of
the result 1t has accomplished and is still
destined to accomplish. tGreat cheering. ]
I am candidly of the opinion that II we had
failed this time. with the powerful interest
clustering around the ruling party, under
the leader that they had they, would,
IN few years perhaps have been
strong and daring enough II notalso corrupt,
to defy public opinion, and perhaps to resist
and to battle the peaceful expression Of II.
repeat my conviction that as long as we
and our children and their children live no
political party in the United States win dare
to nominate a man for the Presidency whose
hands are not clean. Mr. Schurz concluded
by extolling Governor Cleveland, and was
continuously cheered.
Daniel Dougherty. of Philadelphia, In a
short address, said "Grover Cleveland has
been elected. and, by the living God. all the
powers on earth or in hell shall never tear
the purple from his shoplders,"
Msyor-elect Grace also made an address
Samuel J. Randall was met with very dem.
onstrative reception. lie said, when he got
a chance, "The Democratic party has as
much at stake in this country as the
Republican office holders at Washing
ton. We have acquired the capacity to
control thu government in better and
purer way than the country has recently
been accustomed to. We mean to make no
assault ON any of the material interests of
the nation. ON the contrary we mean to see
that no unkind thrust Is made at capital. We
mean to secure, II we can, II solid financial
policy. We mean to put an end to the cor
ruption of administration, and we believe
that the past life Of Grover Cleveland
(cheers) gives a promise of those reforms
control OF the Government. We demand
tnht tHe NUMEROUS Oh HifllOHs hccu1nu-
lated in the United States Treasury against
which there is no claim, shall be immediate
ly let loose and take their wOnted place in
the channels OF manufacture and COM
merce." say alliterately that any wrong
that shall take from the American people
the fruits OF the great victory which they
have achieved will be resisted in every
proper and legitimate way.
Ex-United States Senator Gordon, OF Geor-
gis, said: "For the first time in quarter of
. century he could greet his hearers as his
fellow w-countrymen. For the first time since
the hostile guns Of the North and South
ceased to thunder / feel that ! am youy
equal in our common country. can stand
before you tonight and salute your flag as
my own. The same blood courses through
your veins as mine. We love liberty, we
love good government, and by the God OF
the Fathers, we intend to stand with you in
the future for 1t. To you this triumph is a
new North: to the South II Is a resurrection.
Great applause.l

business men of the country on the election

the opinion that the nation was now assured
Of four years of pure government by capa-
BILE and honest men.
