of the next congress the party which
lately impudently arrogated TO Itself
the domination of that body will find
hardly more than One-fourth of its seats.
Democratic governors occupy the
enemy's strongholds in Iowa, Massa-
chusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan. In Pennsylvania the election of
Democratic governor presented cOnclu-
siye proof Of Republican corruption ex-
posed and Republican dishonesty de-
tected.
But with all these results of a just
and fearless Democratic policy our
work is not yet completely done, and
any relaxation to effort within the lines
established by the national Democracy
will be violation of the pledges we
gave the people when we invited their
cooperation and undertook their cause.
If we fail to Ietain ascendency i'll the
Empire state, no matter upon what is
sue it Is lost, it will be claimed as the
verdict OF orr people against the prin-
ciples and platform Of the national De-
mocracy.
Our opponents, though striving hard
to hide their idnetity in a cloud OF dust
raised by their iteration of irrelevant
things, constitute large factor in the
party which, still far from harmless,
seeks to perpetuate all the wrongs and
abuses of Republican rule in national
affairs. Though they may strive to APP
pear tame and tractable in a state cam
paign, they but dissemble TO gain new
opportunity for harm.'
Mr.. Cleveland paid handsome tribute
to the Democratic candidate for gov
ernOr, Hon. X. i. Flower, and added:
I'VE seek to secure the empire state in
her Democratic steadfastness, and we
seek to win victory which shall re-
deem the pledges we have made to re-
gard constantly the Interests Of the peo-
pie OF the lana and which shall give
hope and confidence to the national
Democracy in the struggles yet to

TRIUMPH Is the Keynote Of the Legend That Will
Be Borne Upon the Ever-Advancing Banners
Of the Impregnable Democracy.

New YORK. Oct. S.-The Democrats
of this city assembled in mass meeting
in the large hall of the Cooper Union
this evening to ratify the nominations
made at the Saratoga convention. The
time set for opening the meeting was s
O'Clock, but an hour before that time
large throngs of men were massed be-
fore each of the entrances to the hall.
When the doors were opened there was
wild rush that Capt. McCullagh and
his hundred policemen were utterly I'M
able to control. They shouted com
mands to stand back, waved their long
night-sticks, and even brought them
down with force OH many pates, but all
was in vain-the struggling mass
of humanity forced on and in and
within ten minutes every seat, every
inch of standing room in the
large hall, was filled. Then the
gates were closed and lines of police
m en- held them fast against crowd
large enough to fill three halls as large
as the one selected for the mass meet
ing. Down i'll the hall band played an
almost unceasing succession of patriotic
and popular airs.
Among the large assemblage of men
were about hundred ladies who were

wrong gaining and helding power in the

Ex-President Cleveland Talks
Wisdom in Eloquent Words.

w lStkOlA HI GAOliACilC " OEOS'
New YORK, Oct. Son taking the
chair Mr.. Cleveland spoke as follows:
my. Fellow Citizens: The Democratic
party has at all times been by profess
sion and by tradition the party of the
people. say by profession and tradi-
ton, but l by no means intend to hint
in the use of this expression that in its
conduct and action it has failed to
justify its profession or been recreant
to it's traditions. 1t must, however, be
admitted that we have had our seasons
of revival, when the consciousness. Of
what true Democracy really means
has been especially awakened,
and when we have been unusu-
ally aroused TO lively appre-
citation OF the aggressiveness and actiY-
ity which conscience eXactS of those
who profess Democratic faith, and who
are enlisted III the peoples cause. We
contemplate tonight such areyival, and
the stupendous results which have thus
far attended it. In view of these things
we cannot be honest and sincere and
fail to see that stern and memorable
duty is now at our door. We saw the
money Of the people extorted from them
under the guise of taxation. We saw
that this was the result of a scheme
perpetuated for the purpose of exacting
tribute from the poor Tor the benefit of
the rich. We saw growing out of this

with tumultuous applause. In all

waved their hats, cheered, clapped

canes. Waiting for the applause to sub
side, he stood quietly at the reading
desk, dressed in black frock coat and
trousers, and at length obtained silence
only by waving his hand.
