THE KINGS COUNTY DEMOCRATS
IN A ROUSING RALLY.

sues-rhe Injustice of the Present
Legislative Division of the State De-
monstrated.
RRooKLYN, n. Y, Oct. 14-The democ-
racy of Kings county turned out in force
This evening to aid in firing the first big
dsmocratic gun in the present campaign in
tbs pivotal county of Kings. The Cler-
mont rink was bedecked with flags and
hunting, and outside at intervals fireworks
were shot up into the gloomy sky overhead.
long before the meeting was
onaned the hall was uncom-
fortsblv crowded. At s O'Clock
commissioner of Jurors W. H. Furry en-
tered, and after him came Grover Cleve-
land. The audience simply went wild.
Cheer after cheer arose, until full two
minutes had expired. When David A.
Boody, the democratic candidate for
mayor came in, he was greeted with cheers.
Commissioner of City Works John P.
Adams called the meeting to or
der. and in introducing ex-Presiden5
Cleveland he delivered an eulogistic
speech, during the course of which be was
interrupted frequently by applause. When
Mr. Cleveland arose he was greeted with:
''Tbree cheers tor our next President Mr..
Cleveland spoke nearly an hour upon the
important relation which the pending state
campaign bears to the national politics.
THE SPEECH.
Mr.. Cleveland said:
Ny FELLOW CIrIzzNs-It does not need the
cordial welcome you give me to night to con-
Tnce me that | am among friends. The good
vii. and attachment of the people and democ-
/ repeatedly manifested toward me and are
4 remembered with constant gratitu le There
was, therefore potent and palpable reason
why / should not decline an invitation to
be with you tonight. Another reason not less
strong why am Eere is found in the fact that
this is gathering of my political friends in the
interest of democratic cause and in token of
their hearty support of democratic principles
and candidates. In such an assemblage l al
ways feel at home.
HIS INTEREST IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Ny extreme interest in the state campaign
now pending arises from conception of its
Importance, which do not believe is at all ex-
ag,erated. The fact that it Immediately pre-
cedes national campaign in which the vote of
New York may be the controlling factor is of
itself sufficient to enlist the activity of every
man entitled to claim place in the
democratIc councils. Besides this, failure on
the part OF the democracy OF the state to
further emphasize its support of the reforms to
which the national democracy is pledged we
must all confess, would be a party
huuiliation. There are, however, rea-
sons beyond these, which are close at
hand and have relation 10 state interests quite
sufficient to arouse supreme democratic effort.
There are dangers clearly imminent and
schemes almost unconcealed which affect our
state and which can only be avoided and de
feated by q strong and determined protest of
the united democracy Of New York
PARTY WITHOUT A PRINCIPLE.
The party we oppose, resting upon no funda-
mental principle, sustaining precarious
existence upon distorted sentiment aud depend
ing for success upon varying currents of
selfish interests and popular mis-
conception, cannot endure the sight of
community which is inclined to
Withstand its Establishments and which refuses
to he led away by it's misrepresentation. Thus,
ia its national management and methods il
boldly seeks TO thwart the intention of
voters voters il they are democratic, and to
E they speak in democratic tones, am sure it is
not necessary to remind you In proof of the
q latest effort Of our opponents at Washington in
u this direction, nor to sueak of the democratic
colgratulaiions which spread through
Of the force bill our boasted American
freedom of suffrage was saved and constitution
s al rights preserved through the combined
eHorts OF the democratic senatorial minority
6 spendidly lead and grandly sustained. Is there
lemocrat nay, is there any man, 20 dull as to
suppose that the Republican party
di., ~ tais state is not of the same
disposition as that party in the nation? Do not
tae attitude and conduct of its representatives
rom this state in the national'legislatur abund-
aa.ty l prove that the party in New York can be
implicitly trusted to aid any scheme of this

n THE STATE CENSUS.
ther II iGrther proof is desired that the New York
opuoleans are thoroughly imbued with the
,oeii'lIes thas Characterize the party in na-
raoieL analrs: 1t is readily found. Under the
