JEFFERSON'S BIRTHDAY
Made the Occasion for Democratic
Celebration at BostoR Last Night.

BosToN, Mass, April l3.-The mem
bers of the Young Mems Democratic Club
celebrated the anniversary Of the birth OF
Thomas Jefferson by a banquet at the
American House tonight. General John
w. Corcoran presided. He had on his
right Congressman NJ. d. Harter, Of Ohio,
and on his left Governor Russell.
The Governor spoke ably for tariff re-
form, and in advocacy of lifting campaigns
up to serious discussion of pablo ques-
tions and making victories mean some
thing.
The Governor was followed by Con-
gressman Harter, whose speech was pune
tured with frequent applause. He said:
Jefferson was the embodiment OF purity
in the civil service. Coming TO the Presi-
dency as the successor Of the FEEDER
alist John Adams, he removed from
Office scarcely any, although they were
members of an opposing party and he
never appointed relative OF his own 70
any place under the Government, stoutly
claiming that he could find men in no way
connected with him for every place OF
honor and of trust.
If he were with US tonight, If he exer-
csed present personal and controlling in
fiuence in the councils of the Democratic
party, he would be the most unCOmpro-
l trust that when Mr.. Cleveland comes
to his own again as the representative, not
only of the Democratic party, but as trus-
tee for the whole people, he will not leave
Washington until our civil service system
is placed upon permanent basis and Sc
curely anchored to the Jefersonian princi-
pie.
Mr.. Harter concluded as follows:
Our platform at Chicago must take
strong, clear and unequivocal ground for
honest Jeffersonian money, or we shall
reap no advantage from the great victory
just won at the capital
IF could promise here tonight, what
l believe will come to pass, that we will
place in nomination on sound Jefferson
ian platform Grover Cleveland and VIM.
L. Wilson, of West Virginia, or Grover
Cleveland with some other equally out
spoken opponent of class Leg
islation the great question OF No
vember will be decided in June,
and the return, the permanent return, OF
the Democratic party TO power will be as
full of promise to our country as the tri-
umphant success Of Jeffersonian ideas on
this continent will be for free government
throughout the earth to all menkind in the
ages TO come.
