Heard Some Regrets.
AS the smoke from the fragrant Havanas
began to curl toward the ceiling, Toast
Master Martin, who sat at the head OF the
tables, which were in the form OF a "U, )"
with Governor Boyd at the right and Judge
Wakeley upon the left, arose, stating that
the hour for participating in the fes-
tivities had arrived. The hour was
II o'clock. Mr.. Martha stated the object
and purport of the club, and then read let
tiers from Grover Cleveland, j. G. Carlisle,
j. Sterling Morton, Charles Ogden, Allen G..
Thurman. j. Q. Black, Governor Boies, w.
j. Bryan and several others, who expressed
their regrets al not being able to attend the
gathering. ...
Whenever the name of Governor Boyd or
Grover Cleveland was mentioned, cheer
after cheer resounded about the festive
board, drowning the clink of the champagne
glasses and the musical strains of the or
chestra, stationed in an alcove near by. A.
j. Poppleton was booked to respond to ''The
Day We Celebrate" but owing to his
absence M. V. Cannon responded,
by explaining that he had been taken by
surprise. He loved Andrew jackson, after
which he psrpetrated a joke, which he said
was to apply to the city attorney to be ap-
pointed by Mayor Bemls. MIR. Cannon re-
viewed Jackson's military career, and then
dwelt upon his craftsmanship, referring to
him as the father of democracy.
His Spirit is Marching.
County Attorney Mahoney, in responding
TO the toast, 1.-The Jacksonians,' remarked
John Browns body lies moulding in the
grave, but his soul goes marching on How
much more Iruthfully can it be SAID that the
soul of the hero of New Orleans goes march
ing on"
MIR. Mahoney thought that the spirit of
Jackson should animate every democrat and
should keep them true to the discharge of
their duty. jackson taught the British that
TO unlawfully put foot upon American soil
meant war. 1t was he who issued the proc
lamation that the American flag should be
protected upon every sea and in every land.
He hoped the spirit of Jackson would live IN
every democratic heart aud flourish as true
principles of democracy.
Albert Watkins of Lincoln handled the
question of democracy" He had been a
democrat for nine years. He did not smoke,
chew or drink, which he said was contrary
to the teachings of old time party ideas.
Seven or eight times while in Nebraska he
had seen the republicans pluck the fruits of
politi:s IS, but after each plucking the demo-
Gratis had smilingly walked up to the cap
tain's offic and taken their medicine like
men.
1--WE have to do this" said he, 'for
Hope springs quadrienninl in the democratic
(Which is, and always is to be blessed"
He referred to Jackson as a great tariff re-
former. The party only needed courage to
this advice to his friends not to toy with the
dishonest dollar. He thought that all the
democrats needed in 1892 was to have Cleve-
land for a leader.
"We are entering upon a season of politi-
cal liberty said he, land the three great
lights of political liberty were j esus, Jack
on and Jefferson"
MIR. Hitchcock's Position.
Right at this point G. NJ. Hitchcock de-
clared himself in discussing The Issues of
1892"
"Some men," said he, ''were born
democrats, others acquired democ-
racy, while others had democracy
thrust upon. them. 1t was not
my fortune to have been born under Il demo-
cratic star, but gradually | have been lmbued
with democratic PRINCIPLES until | believe
that the prosperity aud life OF the American
government rests IN the democratic party"
There were several rounds OF cheers, and
a member from "a rural district said some
thing about another sinner having sought
salvation.
For a tune the banquet LOOK on many OF
the characteristics of IA well organized amp
meeting. .Ia A,
Mr.. Hitchcock invoked the spirit OF jack
son to return and come back to this land to
witness mis- confession. He voiced the idea
that it would not only require the spirit
of one, but 100 Andrew Jacksons
20 reform the republican party, Pros
perity could only be secured by the election
Of Grover Cleveland to the presidency in 1879!

"Reform the Primaries The elections had

Hope for the unwashed.
Governor J. r.. Boyd was announced to re-
spoud TO the toast, democrats Of Ne
braska.n He was not prepared TO
make a speech, he said, but ne
was cheered to the echo. Men yelled them
selves hoarse and then waved their haudker-
