Buekeyedom.

Gov. Boies Sends a Letter
Full Of Words Of
Wisdom.

CLEVELAND. o., Dec. 6.-The Young
Mems Democratic club. of Canton, o.,
tonight celebrated the Democratic vic
tory with banquet. Speeches were
delivered by local orators, but letters OF
regret from dozen prominent Demo-
Gratis were read. Among them were
letters from Congressman Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, and Wilson of West Vir-
ginja; Gov. Boies, of Iowa, and
Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts,
and Lawrence L. Neal, who drew the
tariff plank of the Chicago platform.
In his letter Mr.. Neal says the Demo-
cratic victory was glorious one, and it
has established the principle of tariff
for revenue only. The party, he says,
conld not have won had it ignored that
principle. He adds:
1--WE staDd, then, as party unalter-
ably committed to the overthrow of
McKinleyism in every shape and form.
Nothing short of this will fulfill the in
structiOns and requirements of the peo-
pie. Their support for our party was
obtained by our
Bold DenunciatiOn
of Republican protection as fraud, a
robbery of the great majority of the
American people for the few, and Dy
our courage in the enunciatlon and adj
vocacy of the principle of tariff for reve-
nue., and we must see to it that the eX-
pressed will of the people shall not be
stitied or defeated by failure of our
senators and representatives in congress
to enact such laws as will forever eX-
punge the foul blot of protection from the
fair escutcheon of our grand and mighty
republic. This done, it will maintain
Democratic ascendancy in the national
government uninterruptedly Tor long
and prosperous period. The struggling
toilers of this land who have so long
been the victims misguided by this
cruel and odious doctrine of protec-
tion will, when they are released
from the oppression and slav-
cry of such system, and when
they realize and enjoy the benefits of
fiscal policy based upon principles of
taxation that are inspired by the love
of liberty and right and Justice, give to
us as party their continued support
and confidence. And with such sup
port the possibilities of our party for
the future will be unlimited"
Gov. Boies' Wise Words.
In the course of his letter Gov. Bo1es
says:
but in the excitement of its joy over
the victory 1t has won, the Democratic
party must not forget that even and
exact justice to all classes and to every
individual is Indispensable to lasting
success in any political organiza-
tion. That party has no war
to make upon manufacturing in
dustries in this country. 1t must
be ready at all times to recognize the
Importance of these industries in the
great struggle for supremacy among the
civilized countries of the globe in which
we are engaged. 1T success is to be per
manent it will be because of an eco
nomic policy revised by it on lines that
fairly and honestly seek to promote ey-
cry material interest of all our peo-
pie, that recognize no distinc-
ton in classes, and, as far
as possible, confer no favors
on one class that impose corresponding
burdens upon the shoulders of others.
To frame and put into operation such
System will require all the wisdom and
all the patience of the wisest and the
best of the statesmen OF this, the most
progressive OF the nations of the
world"
