The Harlem Club Frat In Line for the
Campaign of 1883.
NEW YORK, December 29.-The Harlem
Democratic Club held a BANQUET in It's
club house this evening, its object being in
accordance with its motto, First in Line
for 1885, to fire the first gun in the presi-
Dental canvass. The principal guest of the
evening was Governor Hill. The speaking
did not begin till IL o'clock. TIE
first toast was to President Cleveland and
its response formal letter of regret from
him was read. Then Governor Hill re-
sponded to the psst, THE Empire State of
the Uni n" In the course of his remarks
he referred to 1.-The many excellent acts of
President Cleveland's administration"
Senator Vance, of North Carolina, in re-
Spouse to the toast, The Union Of the
States: Indivisible forever" speaking for
his people. pledged his own and their
feality to Union, and closed by saying:
I'VE have not yet attained the bost results
OF union, perfect union. Whose
fault it msy be | will not
here ray; but the fact remains
that one portion of these States
continues to claim the right to interfere in
their domestic affairs in ways most illegal
and offensive. So long as this continues,
real union cannot come and is not to be
looked for.
Hon. a. P German, OF Baltimore, re-
sponded 10 the toast, Government by
Party is Essential to Free Institutions"
He said: 1.-THE leader in popular govern.
ment should not only have competent
men under him, but partsaDs. The issues
In 1858 will be in the main the same as
those of 1884. Success in 1888 can only be
had by complete organization.
Hon. Charles a. Dana responded to
THE President He said: while il YVES
necessary that The South should be put
down, it is a melancholy fact that the
principle Of State rights was in a great
measure also put down with
it. There can "a 10 self-defense without
State rights. The great duty of the peo-
pie is the restoTa,ioa Of the State rights TO
the prsdomipsncs it formerly possessed.
That is the great principle and object in
my opinion OF the Democratic party"

tional League intend soon 10 present to
Mrs. Henry Weird Beecher a set of resolu-
tions expressiT & the sympathy and regret
of the society for the des,h of her husband
and its respect for his memory. These
resolutions are drawn up on heavy parch-
ment, fest0ODed in the form OF banner
upon a stick of dark colored wood, ell her
end being mounted with knobs of brass
When uDrolled il presents an effective ap-
pesrance with the white silver fringe AZ
the top and bottom Of the fifteen by
eighteen inch sheet. The text OF
the resolutions is written in
elaborate and delicately tinted
sign fills each of the four corners, while st
the head OF the whole testimonial large
eagle with spreading wings bears in It's
beak a wreath surrounding the letter 3
and inverted torch. IL il, ;aiOns it holds
the Irish and American ha.s draped with
Grape. Above the eagle is the word Free

phrase, HE Lived Not for IA Age, but for
All Time" The lettering is admirably
done in different colored inks, which pro-
duce, so we'll are they chosen, a general
effect which is artistic and pleasing, In
tne center OF the text is the name OF the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in large inch
letters of the well-known Gothic style used
in church inscriptions, while along the
margin, relieving the ornate tracery OF the
scroll work, are green tinted palms crossed
over wreaths of immorteIles and bound to

Prince Ferdinand denies that any of
