LII conclusion. Senator Vance paid a
glowing tribute to the efforts in behalf of
liberty now being made by Gladstone and

speaker was
CONGRESSMAN RANDALL ~
Oh pennsylvania, who was accorded an
ovation. He spoke but eight minutes, con-
graduating his hearers upon the adminis-
tratlVe reforms already accomplished under
Democratic administration. without
any change in legislation he said,
1.-The revenues of the government have
been Increased S30,0O0,OOO by economical
management; S15,OOO,OOO have been cut off
from the expenditures, and the government
is now 2S,OOO,O00 better off for Democratic
administration. 1 assert that the admins

Manning will compare favorably with that of
Hamilton and of Galleiin.'
j. Randolph Tucker of Virginia next
spoke. He dwelt upon the fundamental
principles of Democracy. He kept the
audience in good humor. Referring to the
days OF reconstruction, Mr.. Tucker said:
81 have myself see ma little fellow in Shout
der straps go into a court room in Virginia
and dictate decision to judge on the
bench. But we are
BACK IN OUR FATHER HOUSE
now and we are back to stay. Applause
And when l say that to Southern audi
ence they understand that that means the
perpetual power of the Democratic party.
Hon. jeremiah II. Murphy of Iowa fol-
lowed. He had voted thirty-one years. but
never for a successful state ticket. He was,
however, just as proud of those votes as
though they had won. Congressman nc
Adoo OF New Jersey concluded the speak
ing with brief address. A letter of re-
greet from President Cleveland was read.
In it he said:
81 should be very glad to join those who,
on that occasion. will renew their pledges Of
devotion to principles for which the fathers
of the republic fought These principles had
no relation to personal advantage or ambi-
tious schemes, but were adopted and cher
ished because their enforcement promised
prosperity and greatness to q free and VIC
torious people,"
Letters of regret were also read from
Hon. S. j. Tilton, Gen. B. f. Butler, the
governors of New York, Indiana, Virginia,
