tive, energetic life OF The Democracy,

the growth and life Of our party II IN

As this Ia purely nj State campaign,
except 30 far ~ the election Of United
States Senator may effect the canvas,

to the discussion Of State affairs, But
before entering upon discussion OF
state matters, allow me 10 say word
on behalf Of the National administration
Mr. Cleveland has been In )illce abru NJ
ak months, and even the most bitter Re-
publican must admit that he has given
M, 40 far, u patriotic administration, aud
has been earnestly nj work carrying out
those reforms the Democratic party
pledged TO the people at Chicago u little
over one year ago, True, the Ohio Re
publlcans AT their late convention, ac0lls

efforts In enforcing the civil service
rules, They seem TO forget that for
twenty Ave years they have had control
OF The government, and during all that
