waited by Glenn threatening to shoot a
hole through the officers star while il

THE LEADERS, ADVICE.
Grover CleyelandS Letter to the
New York Democratic Clubs.

New Y TX Oct. 23.-The annual con-
veniioa of the state league OF democratic
clubs vas held al the Hoffman house yes
terday.'
Governor Hill maze a brief sd ress.
The coming campaign he deemed a most
important one. He said il was important
that the democrats sh9ud win the fight in
the state because OF its imp. rtance on
cleo, ions ELSEWHERE. The democratic
party had pledged itself for tariff reform
and it reiterated that pledge. The party
did not advocate free trade, and that was
an accurate statement of the pla form.
The longer the present administration is in
power the more it would be shown what a
wise administration was that of Grover
Cleveland, for Grover Cleveland fulfilled
the pledges of his party.
A communication from ex-Presdient
Cleveland Was read, which. among other
things, contained the following:
The League is to be congratulated upon
the fact that the principles of the de no.
cracy occupy at this time a larger place
than they lately have in the consider alton
of the party. The study and propagation
OF these principles afford strong induce
ments to separate efforts, and what is bet
ter these efforts are invested with a value
and importance as great as the prosperity
OF our land and as broad in their benefi-
cense as the welfare of all our people.
TO look at the ascendancy of the princi-
pies upon which true democracy rests,
which will be greatly aided by the &C.
uvity of leagues such as yours, to secure
us from wasting extravaganza, from DEM
agogic pretense, from sectional bitterness
and from the widespread corruption of our
suffrage. Could labor and effort have
greater or higher incentives than the &C
cOmplishment of these results
The report of the committee on resolu-
lions was adopted. 1t congratulates Gro
yer Cleveland for the wisdom and bravery
with which he fought for the taft reform,
and true Democracy in 1887 and 1888
and declares that while, by the greatest
corruption known in any election in his
tory ne suffered defeat, the league believes
it to be defeat as hOnorab!eas any vic |
tory of his predecessors.
