GROVER CLEVELAND.

Cleveland was presidential candi
dste in 1884, leading men of hi
party on the produce exchang
organized a "bdsiness mems associa
tion," which was very active. The
organization was maintaineae and
last winter was incorporated as tn
New York Democratic club. Un
der its auspices a campaign meetias
was held in Madison square las
night. at which a series OF resolu
tlons of bitter tenor regarding the
loss of the worlds fair TO New York
and other topics were passed. EX
President Cleyeland was then in
troduced as chairman, and spoke IL
substance as follows. Mr.. Cleve
land: "Those engaged in business
pursuits have kept too much aloo.
FROM public affairs, and too gener
ally acted upon the theory thai
neither their duty as citizens nor
their personal interests required OF
them an habitual participation il
political movements. This indiffer
ence aud inactivity have resulted il
loss to the public service" The
ex-president said he was firmly o.
the belief that If a few business
men could be substituted for pro
fessional men in official places tht
people would positively gain by the
exchange. Mr.. Cleveland had some
thing to say about the proper ad
iustment Of the tariff, and economi
cal administration of state affairs,
and ridicule1 the republican plan OF
shrieklng throughout the state oi
the demerits and dangerous proclivi
ties of a certain political organiza'
ton, whose members support the
principles and candidates of the
Democratic party. Even ifall they
alleged against this organization
were true the perils they present are
baseless and absurd. Every man
ought to satisfy himself whether
the principles and candidate of the
party are such as he approves. Mr..
Cleveland closed with reference to
the purity of Flowers business
career. Cleyeland and Hill were
both loudly cheered.
