CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Mai. Gen. Miles
stated today that he would like to have a
grand national encampment Of 10000
men at the Worlds Columbian Exposi-
ton. European countries will all have
gigantic reviews and national guard, and
if the United States wishes to become a
great element of strength it must get
together IN national convention. Gen.
Miles thought the government should pay
for the transportation OF the militia from
the different states to Chicago. Gen.
Ben Human stated he was instructed by
the adjutant general OF California to say
that that state would send a regiment
here, and that perhaps considerable
money would be raised to defray its ex-
penses. A resolution setting forth the
expsdiency of a military display at the
dedication of the exposition, and also that
as an exposition company was to furnish
shelter and subsistence for the visiting
military the several states should pay for
the transportation of their own troops,
was introduced, but before any action was
taken the convention adjourned.

Cleveland Expounds Democracy.


NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-When Grover
Cleveland was a presidential candidate in
"a the leading men of the Democratic
party on the produce exchange organized
"a business mems association which was
a very active organization. 1t was main
tanned and last winter it was incorporated
as the New York Democratic Club. and
under its auspices a campaign meeting was
held in Madison Square tonight, at which
a series Of resolutions of bitter tenor re-
Rarding the loss of the Worlds fair to
New York and other topics were passed.
Ex President Cleveland was then intro
duced as chairman and spoke 10 substance
as follows:
The syopsis of ex- President Cleveland s
address is as follows: Those engaged IN
business pursuits have kept too much
aloof from the public affairs and have too
generally acted upon the theory that
neither their duty as citizens nor ever
their personal interests required OF them
any habitual participation in the political
movements. This indifference and mac
tivity have resulted in a great loss to the
public service" The ex-president said
that he is firmly OF the belief that if a few
business men could be substituted for
professional men in official places the
masses of the people would positively gain
by the exchange.
He had something to say about the
proper adjustment of a tariff, and an
economical administration of state affairs
and took occasion to ridicule the Repub-
lican plan of shriekipg throughoutthe state
that the dement's and dangerous p%roclivi-
ties of a certain political organization
where members would not support its
principles and candidates.
Even il all 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 candidates of the party are
such as he approves. Mr.. Cleveland
closed with a grand reference to the purity
OF Mr.. Flowers business career and
heartily approved the other candidates
