Of governmental care, we know that all
this is far removed from the
Encouragement of Agriculture )"
which our creed commands. We will
not violate our political duty by forget
ting how we'll entitled our farmers are
to Our best efforts for their restoration
to the independence of a former time
and to the rewards OF better days.
When we see the extravaganza OF pub
lie expenditure fast reaching the point
Of reckless waste, and the undeServed
distribution of public money debauch-
ing its recipients, and by pernicious eX-
ample threatening the destruction of
the love of frugality among the
people, we will remember that
ECONOMY in the public expense" is an
important article in the true Democratic
faith. When we see our political adj
versaries bent upon the passage of a
federal law, with the scarcely denied
purpose Of perpetrating partisan su-
premacy which invades the states with
election machinery designed to promote
federal interference with the rights of
the people in the localities concerned,
discrediting their honesty and fairness,
and justly arousing their jealousy OF
centralized mower. we will stubbornly
resist such dangerous and revolution
airy scheme. In obedience to our pledge
for ''the support of the state govern
mentS in all their rights" have thus
far attempted to state some of the
principles of true Democracy and their
application to present conditions. Their
enduring character and their con-
slant influence upon those who pro-
faff I'll iad
If | were now asked why they have so
vincible, | should reply in the words of
the sentiment to which | respond:
They are enduring because they are
right, and inyinciDle because they are
just" The belief III these propositions
as moral truths is nearly universal
among our countrYmen. We are mis-
taken if we suppose the time is distant
when the clouds of selfishnesS and per-
version will be dispelled and their con-
scientious belief will become the chief
motive force in the political action of
the people. | understand all these
truths to be included in the principles
of true Democracy. If we have not at
:as III times trusted as implicitly as we
ought to the love our people have for
the right, in political action, or If we
have not always relied sufficiently upon
the sturdy advocacy Of the best things
which belong to
Our Party Faith,
these have been temporary alterations
which have furnished their inevitable
warning. We are permitted to contem-
plate tonight the latest demonstration
of the peoples appreciation of the right,
and of the acceptance they accord to
Democratic doctrine when honestly
presented. In the campaign which has
just closed with such glorious results,
while party managers were anticipating
the issue in the light of the continued
illusion of the people, the people them
selves and for themselves were consid-
ering the question of right and justice.
They have spoken, and the democracy
of the land rejoice. In the signs of the
times and i'll the result Of their late state
campaign, the Democracy OF Pennsyl-
vania must find hope and inspiration.
Nowhere has the senSitiveness of the
people on questions involving right aGd
wrong been better illustrated than here.
At the head OF your state government
there will soon stand disciple
of true Democracy, elected by
voters who would have the right

sciences were touched. Though there
have existed here conditions and in
fiuenceS not altogether favorable to an
unselfish apprehension of the moral
attributes of political doctrine, believe
that il these features of the principles
of true Democracy are perSiStently adj
yocated, the time will speedily come
when, as in day, the patriotic hearts
of the people of your great common
wealth will be stirred to the support of
our cause. 1t remains to say that in the
midst of our rejoicing, and in the time of
party hope and expectation, we should
remember that the way of right and
justice should be followed as q matter
of duty and regardless of Immediate
success. Above all things. let us not
for moment forget that grave reSpOn
SibiliIieS await the party which the peO-
pie trust; and let us look for guidance
to the principles of true Democracy
which .'are enduring because they are
right, and invincible because they are
just"

eminent, its perpetuity depends upon
constitutional limitations" He deIiv-
cred no set speech, ana his short adj
dress was mainly eulogistic of the
Cleveland administration. His opening
sentence to the effect that he believed
in the gospel of his creation evoked
much laughter, but his next remark, to
the effect that he stood ever ready
to assist Grover Cleveland i'll the
gospel work for the benefit
of the American people, brought
forth hearty applause. as did
also reference to MI. Cleveland ''sec-

Edmund Burke that ''the man who be-
lIeyes that he has 10 law but his own
will soon find that he has no profit but
his own ends" Much applause fol-
lowed Mr.. Bayard's declaration ':that
the rules of Speaker Reed in the house
and the proposed gag law liz the senate

Kentucky, in: responding to the toast

During his remarks Mr.. Russell said:
ut is, sir worthy of notice that this is the
first time Massachusetts has ever been car
ried by the Democrats OH a national ISSUE; it
has deep significance as no local que stons
no party divisions. no personal influence of
any man caused the change. 1t is the pro-
test of tie old commonwealth against the
usurpations of the speaker and the scandals
of the administration; against the force

crease of pubic expenditure
