Trying to Make People Believe That,
While We Are Fellow Citizens,


NEW York, Oct. 21.--The German
American Cleveland Union held a great
mass meeting tonight in Cooper nion. the
large hail being packed with people, ant
nearly Is many more being unable to gain
aimittance. The enthusiasm was at white
heat throughout the proceedings, tumul-
tous applause greeting Mr.. Cleveland, Car
Tehurz, and Oswald Ottendorfer, leading
German-American citizens.
Seated upon the platform were several
hundred prominent German-American busi-
ness and professional men. Dswell Often
made an address.
William Steinway was introduced as
chairman and made brief address, dur.
ing which he assailed the Mckinley act.
Chairman Steinway introduced Hon, Grover
Cleveland.
The audience broke loose and shouted
itself hoarse in the greeting to the ex-Presi-
dent Mr.. Cleveland was repeatedly and
loudly applauded at frequent intervals dur
ing his remarks. lie said;
Fellow citizens When address you as
my fellow citizens" use the salutation
common on occasions like this, and orsilna
rily one that carries with it no greater mean
ing than the customary greeting II seems
to me not amiss, in the presence of such an
assemblage as | see before me, TO consider
what is that entities us TO cali each other
fellow citizens.
II is at once apparent that we can only
apply these words TO American fellow citi-
zeus proud of ine land in winch they live,
proud of American institutions and devoted
to the achievement of American success and
greatness. They do not require that those
who come to us from other lands and
become ou.' people, shall forget their Old
homes but they do signify such assimila-
ton ON their pait, AS leads them to contri-
butte whatever is valuable in the character
that they inherit, in the country of their
birth, to the fund of American prosperity
and happiness.
If frugality and industry are their na-
tional traits, these should be by them con-
trihutcd to American prosperity, and if
and love of song are national
these should be contributed
to American happiness.
Those who do these things in a true fra
ternal spirit and co operation, as all others
who love the American name, and who also
regulate political action by thoughtfuluess
and anxious desire for American welfare,
