At Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-A large assem-
blage, including many ladies, attended the
meeting held here tonight under the aus
pices OF the jackson Democratic association,
to celebrate the anniversary os the battle Of
New Orleans. Many old memehtoes of Gen.
Jackson ornamented the platform, including g
the old clock which hung in the senate
chamber when President Jackson took the
oath of office. a number of congressman
occupied seats upon the stand.
Senator SALISBURY, Of Delaware, was the
first speaker He pictured the duties of the
Democratic party to reform the government,
remove dishonest officials and retrench
expenditures. While he would not convert
Mr.. Cleveland into q public butcher, that
gentleman would fail to meet the Just eXpec-
tation Of the American people If he did not
remove from Office any man who had lis
honestly used his place. lApplause. He
hoped 70 faithful public servant would be
sacrificed 10 party interest, but every man
who had used mis- place for partisan purposes
and 10 keep out Democratic administration
would walk the plank as soon as possible.
IApplause.
Representative E. John Ellis, of Louisiana,
congratulated the country that it would soon
again be governed by tne principles advo-
Gated by jackson. Let there be improved
civil service reform. He rs-echoed the SEN
timent that he who had prostituted her high
Office for partisan purposes should walk the
plank, and yet it behooved the Democratic
party 10 remove this spois system from pol
itics. Il was the worst cancer on the body
polite. The speaker then demanded the
construction Of navy commensurate with
the power Of the govern ment, and main
tanned that the incoming administration
would assert the Goc rine that no European
influence should grow aud be felt among the
nations Of the western hemisphere, and that
the American government should dominate,
whatever water ways might unite the waters
OF the two great oceans.
Senator Bayard traced the administration
of President jackson through the eight years
Of lis existence, eulogiZiug the principles
upon which il was based, the main on ofwnich
was that this country was common wealth
which belongs b all and did not belong to
any. II was a Jacksonian theory that the gov
ernment Of the Uuited States found neither
co-partner nor rivals for Itself among its own
citizens. This was not the theory which bad
built up the protective tariff, which had for
its underlying principle the doctrine Of class
legislation. If men were not firm enough TO
resist this doctrine, If they were
not penetrated by the truth
which one Grover Cleveland [applausel
seemed 10 BE- penetrated by, that public Office
was public trust, they could not compre-
bend that for which Andrew jackson strug-
gled.
Speeches were also made by Senator Vance
and Representative Henley, Of Caiafornia.
