John.

The following letter from President
Cleveland TO President Chauncey F.
Black, of the National Association of
Democratic Campaign Clubs, speaks
for itself:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
SEPT. 13. 1888. Hon. CHAUNCEY F.
BLACK, President, ETC. My DEAR
SIR:-The papers which you kindly
sent me for my perusal touching the
scope, method and purposes of the AS
ISOLATION of Democratic Clubs have
strengthened my belief in the extreme
importance of such organizations as
have been thus associated. The strug-
pie upon which we have entered Is in
behalf of the people of the land, and
they must be reached. We do not pro-
ceed upon the theory that they are to
be led by others who may or may not
be in sympathy with their interests.
We have undertaken to teach the vo-
tiers as free independent citizens enough
to see their rights, interested enough to
insist upon being treated justly, and
patriotic enough to desire their coun-
try's welfare. Thus this campaign Is
one of information and organization.
Every ClllZeU SIlOuIu UC ICSotuCu 90 q
thoughtful, responsible voter, and he
should be furnished the means of exam
lining the issues involved in the inn
pending canvass for himself. | am
convinced that no agency is so effective
to this end as the clubs which have
been formed, permeating all parts of
the country and making their influence
felt in every neighborhood. Bya sys-
tematic effort they make the objects of
the Democratic party understood by
the fair and calm discussion of the
Democratic position in this contest
among those whom their members
daily come in contact and by prevent
ing neglect of duty Ofsuffrage on elec-
ton day these clubs will become, in my
opinion, the most important instrument
tality yet devised for promoting the
success of our party.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEvELALAD.
Every township in Henry county
ought to have Democratic campaign
club. The importance of supplying
the voters with good campaign reading
cannot be overestimated. Let every
Democrat take hand in the good
work.
