Celebrated in style in Philadelphia-Ex-
President Cleyeland's Speech.

| PHILADELPHIA, January s.-The
! Academy OF Music was bright tonight
with many lights, and merry with the
sound and scene of banquetting upon
the occasion OF the annual dinner of the
Young Mems Democratic Association OF
this city. The speaking was begun late
by Samuel G. Thompson, President OF
the Association. He presided, and at
the close OF his address OF welcome, he
gave the toast "To the Memory OF Jack
SON." 1t was drunk standing and in
silence.
The next sentiment was The Prin-
ciples of True Democracy-they'are en-
during because they are right, and in
vincible because they are just"
1t had been assigned to ex-President
Cleveland, who was presented by the
President of the banquet with these
words: 1T is proper that we should
have with US the great leader, eX-Presi-
dent Cleveland, who led the party tri-
umphantly 10 success, and from defeat
evolved great victory, who, in admin
istraton, knew no motives save that
which was based upon right, who in
guiding the ship of state had but one
compass and that the peoples interests,
who with great courage threw down
the gauntlet CT tariff reform, and like
his grand prototype, Jackson, practi-
cally declared by the eternal, its prin-
clple was right and should prevail"
Mr.. Cleveland arose amid much cheer
ing and responded to the toast. An
abstract OF the eX-President's speech
will be found on tho second page Of this
issue.
Governor Pattison followed Mr.. Cleve-
land and spoke to the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. He referred to Penn
sylvania's government, OF peace among
the Indians, and added: "The govern
ment has recently honored distin-
guished friend, Philip Garrett, of this
community, by appointment as Indian
Commissioner. We bespeak for him a
safe deliverance. Let it not be written
that he was first to break this record"
Ex-Secretary of State Bayard re-
sponded to the toast "The Federal
Government Its Perpetuity Depends
Upon Constitutional Limitation" He
delivered no set speech, and his short
address was mainly eulogistic OF the
Cleveland Administration. His opening
sentence to the effect that he was be-
lever in the gospel OF recreation evoked
much laughter, but his next remark
10 the effect that he stood
ever ready to assist Grover Cleye-
land in the gospel work for the benefit
OF the American people brought forth
hearty applause, as did also a reference
TO Mr.. Cleveland's second administra-
tion."
He agreed with Edmund Burke that
1.-The man who believes that he has no
law but his own will soon find that he
has no profit but his own end"
Much applause followed Mr.. Bayard's
declaration "that the rules OF Speaker
Reed in the House, and the proposed
gag law in the Senate are without war
rant in the Constitution"
Congressman Breckenridge, OF Ken
lucky, in responding to the toast, The
new South" created much enthusiasm
by speech eulogistic of the South.

Sponded to New England"

ernorS were read.

len. OF Philadelphia, whose theme was
"Thc Young Democracy, the hope and
reliance of the Republic"
