GENTLEMEN OF THE CLUB: l am deep
" sensible of the high honor of reelec-
ton at your hands. l am also sensible OF
continued responsibility and dnty to
your highest interests, and | here and
now renew my pledge to discharge my
duty with fidelity.
Arrogating nothing to myself, / hasten
90 congratulate the club that, through the
efficiency and diligence of its committees
together with the liberal spirit of the
members of the club and many leading
Democratic citizens of Cantou, the year
1891 finds us on a sound financial footing
and free from debt, in possession of new
quarters, attractive and substantial
"broad pleasures in which to walk about
and recreate ourselves
am not disposed o boast of what we
have done in the past year, suffice il to
say we have broadened aud sustained our
claim to a national reputation. If COM
mendations of great and influential
Journals and wise and able men are not
swell meant aims of BREATH we have
taken no mean part in shaping the policy
and disseminating the principles upon
which the Democratic party rs we'll as the
successful administration of this great
Republic rests. As said to you one year
ago, that while we lay claim to being
strictly political organization, we also lay
claim to being a patriotic organization,
having the highest interests of the whole
people, without distinction Of class, at
heart. We have pcrsistently stood for,
and advocated and put ourselves on record
as being in favor of "ballot reform
First, because il protected the citizens
from improper influence and against in
timidation; and second, we advocated it
as the necessary attendant for the more
effectual prosecution of the great cam
paign of education.'
We have stood united against the doc
trine of unjust taxation, because it is un-
constitutional and contrary to the spirit
OF orr institutions. In defense of this
position, we have lately passed through a
rrodigious ordeal Of wholesale corruption
OF the ballot "than which can come no
devil more damned in evils, to blight and
curse a nations life" We had justice
and reason on our side. The cogent argu-
ment Of rise in prices Of all the neCes-
sarics of life bore down upon the enemy
