JEFFERSON'S BIRTHDAY.
EX- PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND HIS
VIEWS OF PARTIsANsHIP.

He Pleads Guilty to Being a Party Man
If 1t Means Devotion to Party Principles
Campaigns of Education are What are
Needed.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Governors of the
Democratic Club of this city gave dinner
at the clubhouse tonight in com memoratiou
of Jeferson's birthday. j. II. V. Arnold
presided. He was fanked by ex-President
Cleveland and Governor Albeit. of New
Jersey. Many prominent local Democrats
were present. The ex-President was the
chief speaker, and in part said:
SIT seems to me that the atmosphere which
pervades this place is ill-suited to selfish
and ignoble designs; and feel at this mo-
ment that am surrounded by influences
which invite patriotic partisanship, and
disinterested devotion to party prin-
ciples. II partisan is correctly
defined as One who is violently
and passionately devoted to a party or in
terest must plead guilty to the charge of
being Democratic partisan, so long as the
Democracy is true to its creed and traditions,
and so long as conditions exist, which, to
my understanding, make adherence to its
doctrines synonymous with patriotism.
st is an inspiring thing to know that by
virtue f our party membership we are as
sociated with those who resist the attempt
of arrogant political power to interfere with
the independence and integrity of popular
suffrage, who are determined to relieve our
countrymen from unjust and unnecessary
burdens, who are intent upon checking ex-
travagance in public expenditures, and who
test party purposes by their usefulness in
promoting the interests and welfare of all
the people of the land.
"The political revolution which accom-
panied the birth OF our party was not accom-
plIshed while the principles of Democracy
were kept laid away in a napkin, nor
was the unanimity of their first ac-
ceptance secured by the senseless and
noisy shouting of partisan bigotry
and the refusal to receive converts to the
faith. No man believed more implicitly in
the political instruction of the people than
the great founder of our party: and the first
triumph of Democratic principles, under
his leadership, were distinctly the re-
suits of campaign of education.
So, too, liz the light of our last
victory. No man who desires Democratic
success will deny the supreme Importance of
a most thorough and systematic presenta-
tion to our fellow-citizens of the reasons
which support the avowed and accepted
purposes of our party. Those who now
sneer at efforts in that direction are ou. enc
meis-whether they confront US as con-
fessed opponents, or whether they are trait
ors skulking within our camp"

Vexed Bill.
rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT,
HARRISBURG, April 13.-Mr. McCul-
Tough, Of Allegheny, said tonight, In refer
euce to the fight in Tarentum over the pro-
posed repeal of the local prohibitory law
for that borough: II told Mr.. Albert Smith
that 1 would introduce the bill
whenever he sent me the proofs of
lis having been properly advertised,
as required by the act OF February u, 1874
That law provides that notice of the in
tended application for repeal, stating speci-
1caIly the title and objects of the bill, shall
be published for four consecutive weeks and
IL further sets forth that the evidence of the
publication shall be bv attaching to the bill
a copy of said notice, verified by the affi-
davit OF the owner editor, publisher, or fore
man Of the newspaper or newspapers in
which it was published.
The only notice sent me was the follow
ing: Notice Is hereby given that an appli-
cation viii be made TO the Legislature of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the re-
peal of the special acts OF Assembly govern
ing the borough of Tarentum.' This notice
was plainly insufficient, as it does not set
forth specifically the title and objects
of the bill; neither was there any
accompanying affidavit, as the law requires
Until the provisions Of the law are COM
piled with, l cannot introduce the bill. In
reply to a letter from the Revs. Messrs
Mitchell and Walker, wrote him that
when the bill got before the committee 1
would notify them, and procure them a
hearing. As the bill has not yet been intro
duced, il is not vet before the committee
and there could be no hearing upon it."

ILLEGALLY ISSUED SHARES.

The Crooked Work That Was Done by the
Secretary of a Company.
BOSTON. April 13.-Tne expert who has
been examining the books of the Boston
Water Power Company has made up his re-
port to President Kimnall, who is authority
for the statement that shares to the approx
mate amount of $4,000, representing a
valuation exceeding S75, 900, have been lille
gallv issued by the former Treasurer,
William Brown, upon his own au-
thority. Ali of the Irregularities
discovered appear to have been
made through Justification of the ac-
counts, so the President declares. The Ger
tifcates OF stock have all been examined,
ana appear 10 be all right, but nothing has
been discovered that will give the least pos
sible explanation of the leakage of the
money.
E1-Treasurer Brown is still confined to
his home. and his mental trouble. which
saves him the realization of the accusations
against him, is such that he will probably
never recover.

DREIBUND IN DANGER.
ITALY Is SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF BREAK
ING AWAY FROM IT.

Some Significant Utterances From Rudini-
France That Means Much-lta1y's Prob
able Action in Case of War.
tBY CABLE TO THE DTsPATcH.I
PARIS, April 13.-It is stated in this city
that the Viscount Venosta has been ap-
pointed Italian Ambassador to France, to
take the place of Count Menabrea, the pres
ent ambassador. Count Menabrea, writing
to friend concerning this report. says il
is quite possible that it may be true,
but be has heard nothing Of it. The Wis
count Venosta is a SON. in-law of the Marquis
Alferi, who is Vice President of the
Italian Senate, and who strongly opposes
the Triple Alliance as ruinous to Italy and
favors the cultivation of close friendship
with France.
Viscount Venosta is connected with the
Cavour family, and is strongly hostile to the
foreign policy of Signor Crispi, upon which,
during Crispi's administration, he made
several severe attacks. His appointment at
this time to the head of the embassy to
Francois considered somewhat doubtful. If
it prove to be really contemplated by the
Marquis Rudini its significance as regards
the Triple Alliance cannot be misunder-
stood.
A dispatch from Rome saws: Premier Di
Rudini, in an interview to-day in regard to
the Dreibund. held that the renewal of the
Triple Alliance was of secondary import
ance, as compared with constant agree
ment with England. On many occasions,
said the Premier, the policy of the Dreibund
harmonized perfectly with British ideas. yet
Lord Salisbury had never adhered to the
Dreibund treaty. Italy's renewal Of her
contract with the Alliance depended on the
general situation in Europe, which was now
changing every day. 1t was difficult to
imagine that England and Italy would re-
main passive while war was being waged by
Russia and France against Germany and
Astria, even il the Dreibund did not exist.
Italy might find it to her interest to range
herself on the side of Great Britain should
Russia refrain from interfering in the af-
fairs of the other powers, thus securing the
absolute neutrality of Great Britain.
Italy would not act except under the
contingencies provided for in the Dreibund
convention. If Austria attacked Russia, or
Germany declared war with France, their
action would not imply that Italy was to
join In the movement. By the terms of the
contract she was entitled to act as neutral
nation and to remain 50.

crowd far greater than that of last night,
packed as the thoroug hfares were on the
last named occasion. But it was with an
entirely different, though perhaps no less
excited, assemblage of people.
When the news OF Lincoln's murder
reached Pittsburg busy hands were soon at
work draping in black the houses for miles
ON every street. This year there will be no
special exercises in memory of the death of
the man whom SO many mourned April "a,
1866. Several Grand Army posts will bear
the day in mind, but there will be no public
exercises of any kind.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The President
and Mrs. Harrison, with the party who will
accompany them on their trip to the far
West, left here at midnight on the special
train especially prepared for their use.
Owing to the lateness of the hour only few
persons besides the railway employees
were at the station to witness the departure
of the train.
As the train drew out ofthe station, the
President stood on the rear platform of the
last car and removing his hat, bowed q
goodby to those waiting to see him off. The

coming county sending one Republican and

cratic delegation rs ut present.
York county has lew hundred less than
the 100, 600 population requisite before 1t can
be divided into districts; but it will be so
divided, on the principle that the law takes
no note of small things. This will likely
give the Republicans one of the four MEM
bers. No Senatorial apportionment bill
has been prepared yet. Half a dozen plans
have been proposed, but none has been de-
cided upos. The Republican Steering
Committee has had the matter in charge,
but has not as yet done anything.

relieve Emin Pasha. They thought it

accepted the Office of Treasurer of the
