The German American Cleveland
Union in New York held mass meet
ing last night in Cooper Union, the
large hall being packed with people,
nearly as many more being unable to
gain admittance. Applause greeted
Mr. Cleveland, Carl Schurtz, Oswald
Ottenderfer and the many leading Ger
man-American citizens as they came
upon the platform, which was decora,
ted with the portraits of the national
democratic candidates, surrounded by
tastehlly draped American flags.
Many ladies occupied seats in the au-
ditorium, and they manifested quite as
much enthusiasm rs their male escorts.
Mr.. Cleveland's speech was applauded
to the echo. In concluding he said !:
;'Let us always remember that unjust
conditions are not due to any infrmity
in the principles upon which our gov
eminent is founded. They are suili-
Gent for us in all our needs. Injustice
is born OF their perversion. We are
led. therefore, directly to the conclu-
sion that the remedy for unfair inequal-
tiles in the distribution of the bene-
its of our American citizenshipis in the
hands of the voters of the land, and
that if there has been a departure from
the lights which should guide the ope-
rations ofour government, it is for the
people to demand Il return to safe chan
nels. Let me warn you, in closing,
that the struggle to secure the rectiti-
cation of false methods and the dislodg-
ment of selfish advantages is not an
easy one. Attempts to cajole our vot-
ers, successful in the past, are still con-
tinued, and bribery and corruption are
still in vogue. 1t is only by intelligent
argument. constant endeayor and I'M
renting vigilance that we shall re-
cover the Just and equal share of bcne-
fits which belong to us Us American fell
low-citizens."
