ALErTER FROM GROVER.
The following letter from ex-President
Cleveland was read:
LAKEWOOD. N. j.. January 3, 1892.
"Samue! Cuisine Thompson. Esq, President.
Etc.:
MY Dear Sir-I have made an engage
ment TO celebrate Jackson's day at home
with New York Democratic organization,
and therefore am unable TO accept your In
vitation 10 attend the dinner of the Young
Mems Democratic ASSOCIATION at Philadel-
phia in celebration of the same anniver-
sary. hope the Democracy Of the coun-
try will generally observe this day, and
that their observance will serve to stimu-
late real genuine Democratic sentiment
which recognizes the responsibility OF our
party to the people and the duty we owe
to those who have reposed confidence IN
our professions. We will thus be con-
strained to a steady and persistent advo-
cacy of the principles which are con-
cededly Democratic. and will be prepared
to resist the temptation to attempt to
win party supremacy by the support OF
theories challenged as to their Demo-
cratic character, and certainly dangerous
and dstractlng TO the harmony OF our
party. Temporary shifts and reckless ex-
pedients do not accord with the nature
and policy of true Democracy. It's best
hope and reliance has always been and
must continue TO be in "a constant adj
herence TO its acknowledged principles
and IN plain and persistent presentation
of those principles to the intelligence and
thoughtfulness of the American people.
Yours very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND"
