BLooMISGToN, ILL.,, Nov. H.-At a polit-
ical demonstration tonight Vice-presi-
dent-elect Stevenson said:
while as Democrats we rejoice over the
great victory We have achieved we should
not forget that we are all Americans. Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike have one
country. one destiny. The glory which at
tacbes TO the American name and TO Amer
lean achievements belongs exclusively TO
no party or section. but is the common her
ltage of all our countrymen. Nor should
we forget that We are equally interested in
having wise legislation and honest meth.
DDS III government 1 may be pardoBed
tor saying that the campaign just
closed has been singularly free from
personal villticatIon: this should be q mat
ter OF rejoicing TO all men who place high
estimate npon personal character. and who
value the good name of those TO whom are
confided important public trusts. take
pleasure In bearing testimony now, as ala
while the contest was yet undetermined.
to the ability and high personal character
OF the gentlemen who were candidates Tor
high office upon the opposing tickets. lu
his great domestic bereavement the Presi-
dent of the sJnited States has the heartfelt
sympathy of all his countrymen. lt has
been truly said that the late campaign re-
called the eraof good feeling which marked
the administration of President Monroe.
Nav we not hope that the great political
struggle of 1872, between two eminent citl-
zene, Harrison and Cleveland, the chosen
representatives of tho two great parties,
Will inaugurate new era IN American
politics, and that calm discussion and re-
spectful consideration for the opinions OF
our opponents will characterize the presi-
Dental contests OF the future.
while this contest has been waRed upon
bITh plane. the issues involved have
been none tire less clearly and distinctly
defined. We firmly believe that the well
fare of our country aud of it's hum blest
citizens are bound upon the success OF the
great historic party OF which we are MEN,
bers. We favor larger measure of COM
merclal freedom to the end that en- ploy-
ment be given our own skilled labor. and
that the United States may be the sriccess-
full compeNtor in the markets Of the world,
We favor the free admission of raw mater
ial. tbs part of our political creed that
tariff rs tax. and the tax is paid by the
consumer We earnestly favor the reduc-
ton TO minimum of tariff taxes upon the
necessaries of life: To the +nd that
We may have stable government In
the States. avoid race disturbances. and
secure to ali sections OF our country tho
prosperity and happiness which spring
from good government, we are
of the force bill. We favor the strictess
| economv in expenditures of the pub
| lie money. The verdict of the
people has been pronounced against o
pr0niDlt0ry tarln. but let no apprehen-
sion be felt that the business interests OF
the country will be imperiied. A reduc-
| tion of the tariff within safe lines will con-
serve, not destroy. the business interests OF
f, the country. For the first time in almost o
| third of q century the Democratic party
will control all parts OF the government.
| With this power will come grave re-
| sponsibilIties. You have wisely selected
| for the highest Office known TO our CoDsti-
| tuition statesman whose administration
has stOod the crucial test and ia a uuaran-
tee OF what Is to follow. Rest assured
| that, with Grover Cleveland as President
and with the Senate and House controlled
| by men of his political faith the govern
| ment will be safely administered and leg
islation will be In the interest of all the
people,"
