political issues Of the day; but IN al its utter
ances Is s merely n development of one great
principle, that whatever governments and
laws can do for people must be done for all
the people without precedence of section or
grades of citizenship
We believe That's government administered
in this spirit in such a country as ours, will
secure a larger measure Of freedom and pros
perity to the people than has heretofore been
possbei in the world, and that it will be an ex-
ample and an inspiration to all mankind.
To make and keep such a government-to
guard with Jealous care the rights Of equal
ctizenship--to bear our freedom safely along
the march of our material progress, un-
harmed by the mighty agencies that minister
TO that progress this is the high and glorious
duty of the Democratic party.
ut is a dangerous thing for a political party
to continue its existence after the work which
called IL into being has been accomplished. II
win inevitably pass as the political organiza-
tion against which we contend has already
passed, into the service of the great special in
terests which everywhere strive to secure DO
litical power for their own advantage. OF the
present policies Of that parry il may truly be
said that they all tend TO the centralizat ton of
wealth in favored classes. Against both ten
denotes we fight as against enemies OF our free
dom.
I'm this great contest your party has sum-
moned you TO be its leader. Four years ago in
the md-career OF a service that well deserved
the highest honors your countrymen could be-

highest encomiums that history can awgrd,
you were struck down because as a Democrat
you could make no terms with those who wish

q MEMORABLE SCENE IN MADISON

ovArroNs TO THE TWO LEADERS

MIR. Cleveland and DIr. Stevenson oncialIy
Informed of the Action of the Chicago
Convention Address of Chairman Will
son and Response of MIR. ClsveIand-An-
swer Of Mr.. stevenson to the Notification
speech of MIR. White Mrs. Cleveland
Also Comes in for share of the Hon.
ors Reception at the Manhattan Club.
New YoRK, July 21.-The first de-
cisive gun of the Democratic campaign of
1892 was touched off last night in Madi-
son Square Garden in the presence Of a
vast assemblage The huge auditorium
was packed from pit to dome, and, as the
place holds 10, 900 persons comfortably. it
is estimated that almost twice that num-
ber were present
The occasion that brought this vast
throng together was the notification cere-
monies of the two leaders of the
Democratic party-Grover Cleveland and
Adlai E. Stevenson.
AS early as o'clock the crowd began
gathering about the doors, and at 1880 p.
M, when they were finally opened, the
streets about the Garden were filled with
a pus ling, struggling, perspiring mob,
which flowed into the auditorium with
the roaring sound of a cataract. Never
had the Garden held such a crowd nor
more enthusiasm been displayed The
space room was economical to the utmost
degree, the enthusiastic Democrats stand
ing, after the seats were filled, in lines so
dense that breathing became difficult.
The Garden was profusely decorated
with flags and bunting, the colors ofwhich
were brought into strong relief by the bril-
liant light from 5000 electric lamps. This,
with the sea of bobbing heads and upturn-
ed faces, presented a memorable scene and
one never to be forgotten. Previous to
the exercises Cappas band discoursed
strains of sweet music to which the huge,
perspiring crowd listened in philosophi-
cal manner, at the same time endeavoring
TO keep cool by swinging fans and hand
kerchiefs
The platform was placed at the Fourth
avenue end of the building. Over it was
an immense sounding board. In the cen
tire of this were two national flags placed
transwise, and over these, written in in
candescent lamps, were the words "Cleve-
land and Stevenson"
The platform had a seating capacity for
100 persons, but it had a thousand on il
before the central figures, in one Of the
