"My estimate OF the value OF these
Democratic societies as agents for the In,
struction OF the people upon political
work Is well known, aud there never
was a time when in the interest Of good
government and national prosperity they
were more needed.
"The condition Of political affairs Is
such that the attention OF oil the Demo.
Gratis should be directed TO the enforce
ment OF the distinctive principles Of the
party, and, in my opinion, II Is
no time for tho search after make-shiits
and temporary expedients. We, as a
party, are fairly enlisted In the course OF
the people and patriotism; duty and
party success require that we should be
consistent and steadiast, All personal
seltishness should be subordlnated. /
confidently expect that in the work We
have in hand our Democratic societies
will exhibit an efficiency which will be
carefully acknowledged by all who have
at heart the welfare and prosperity Of
the American people,
Yours very sincerely,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
