to the Legislature and then said: THE
National administration needs no defense

Democracy there can be no question. re
spect his sincerity Of purpose: his
sterling integrity and party fealty.
Hon. Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indiana
responded to the toast, ANDREW j Jackson"
and spoke in substance asfollows. when
news Of this great victory was received no
bounds could be set to popular enthusiasm.
This achievement placed Jackson in the
front ranks of military heroes, and gave to
our country an anniversary That Will never
be forgotten. Events carried him orward
to broader fields. His State returned him
to the United States Senate. In 1924 he
was the ~peOple's choice for President, but
failed to receive a majority in the House
of Representatives and was defeated. Lin
1928 the triumphant election OF Jackson
to the Presidency proved the strength "i
the growing popularity which had attended
him from the beginning Of his career. Inc
eight years that he was
CHIEF MAGISTRATE
was certainly the most eventual OF his life.
No man has ever entered the Presidents
office who encountered more powerful AND
determined opposition, led by the abIest
men of the time Clay. Webster and finally
Calhoun formed a triumvirate whom 1t
would have seemed impossible to resist
and yet jackson, backed by his personal
popularity, proved an overmatcb for them
and closed his official life without a rival
in the affection OF the people. In conclu-
sion, let me propose to this club as its
motto and as an anthem to it's memory
the grand sentiment Of which he was author,
Our Federal Union-It Must and Shall Be
Preser

to s'the Constitution and Democrcy.'
His remarks were quite brief, owing to the
late hour when speaking began. He said:
You nave heard the toast-a light and
trivial subject to be sure--"Constitution
and Democracy" The first part
l have in me, somewhere down mere
I think. The toast was intended
to make a little fun OF the old a
| have a great speech on this subject in
mind, but shall not deliver it on this occa-
sion. I am here in my own heather, and
there are around me gentlemen who have
accepted your invitation. They are men
who deserve all the honor you and l can
to them. and it is but common polite
ness on my part. as well as to my brother
J%acksonians, to say that 1 won't take up
time that properly belongs to them. You
are anxious to learn whether there are any
good takers in Indiana and Kentucky and
what our old friend Durham has to say
the dollar of the daddies. The best
thing I can do is to bid you good night and
ask you to listen to them. [Applause.
