the Democratic party is that it shall
conform practice to professien: that
form. A great idea is again beginning
to move in American politics. The
Democratic avalanche has started. 1t
; will rend the party that tries to play
with 1t; it will crush whoever seeks to
block its way. We need not fear the
free trader or the single taXer. The
man whom the Democratic party has to
fear in its councils is the sugar-coated
protectionisf. The quicker he goes
elsewhere the better. We need his
room. The masses trust honesty and
love courage. They despise trimmer

When Mr.. johnson sat down. Hon. r.
@. Mills, of Texas, was introduced, and
spoke, in substance, as follows:
You meet this evening as the faith
full, Jealous and tireleSs friends of COM
mercial emancipation. You have been
working hard, waiting long and look
ing anxiously for the coming of that
day that was to herald the
IApplause.] To fifty discharge the du
ties which have been imposed upon us
we must show the people of the United
States that we were honest in the
declarations we made in our newSpa-
pers,In the declarations we made III our
conventions, that we will give them
government of both branches of tho
legislative department as well as of the
executive. which will compose taxation
for the single purpose of raising reve-
hue for the support OF an honest gov
eminent. In proceeding to pre-
pare the measure which is to be
substituted for the present taxa
ton, one subject must stand promi-
nent, overlapping and oyershadowing all
others; that one is that we must see
that whatever measures of taxation we
adopt shall not only not impair the right
of the American people to labor and to
market the products of their labor. but
to see that the labor of the whole coun-
try shall be prime object of the Demo-
cratic party when it prepares its meas
ures for adoption"

The next speaker introduced was
James B. Campbell. of Ohio, who said:
PARTY success comes not from prin-
ciples without men or from neil with
out principles, but from the union. do
not know exactly whom l do represent.
As near as ain able to comprehend the
toast | respond to.I represent the college
professors on the one hand and the
boys who want the postoffices OH the
other hand. | am i'll favor of them both.
| am in favor of the college pro-
fessors. because, as they say in
the Democratic party, we are
sure Of somebody who can read
and write. That relieves us of great
obje ction that has been urged in times
gone by. / am also in favor of the boys
who want the posioffices, because from
the postmaster at Confederate cross
roads to Vancott. in New York, am in
favor of putting them all out and put
ting in men who voted for Grover
Cleveland"
Congressman Breckenridge, of, Ken
lucky, spoke after Gov. Campbell. Mr..
Breckenridge arose from his seat, and
said he had personal interest in the
Reform club. for one of the first
speeches he had the honor TO make in
the East, after his constituents sent
him into public life, was to the same
club before 1t had fully or
sganized some FIVE years ago.
After that celebrated message of
President Cleveland that message
taught him new doctrine. He was no
recent convert to the principles an
in that message. He thought.
then that the time had come when the
Democratic partysfIad. been sufficiently
spurified by disaster.
