AT THE IR0QUols CLUB BANQUET.

Growers Representative.
THREE BIG GOVERNORS ARE PRESENT

CHICAGO, April 2.-Three Governors, an
ex-Cabinet Minister and other statesmen Of
National renown, lent grace to the banquet
of the Iroquois Club this evening. Among
the Democratic leaders present were Gov.
ernor Boyd, Of Nebraska; Governor Peck,
of Wisconsin; ex-Postmaster General Don
M. Dickinson, of Michigan; Hon. Sherman
Hoar, Of Massachusetts,; Governor Winans,
of Michigan; Hon. John Dewitt Arner, of
New York, and Editor 8. E. Morse, of the
indianapolis Sentinel.
The first great outburst of applause came
at fervid reference to Grover Cleveland
near the end of the address by the first
speaker, Hon. w. g. Ewing, Of Chicago.
The principal speaker of the evening was
Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, who, as the re-
puted personal representative of the ex-
President, was wildly cheered. He began
by eulogizing the value Of party discipline
and the necessity for yielding to the de-
cisions of the party's accredited representa-
tives in caucus. Said he:
Dickinson's voics Against Boiling.
When a caueus or convention has chosen
or nominated think Its choice should have
the support Of all Democrats, including
those who may think that q mistake has
been made in the choice, whether the eau
Gus or convention be National, State.
county or ward. But a caucus, to command
this loyalty, must be q Democratic caucus
In the broadest sense. There must be no
controlling trtckery, no terrorizing to pre-
vent attendance, no taint of corruption or
fraud, and no well-grounded doubt Of q fair
count, sufficient to impair confidence.
Whether from elections or conventions, no
result can come which is entitled to respect
or obedience which is gained by perver-
sion of the popular will by the throttling of
the peoples voice or by thimblerigging with
ballots.
Political larceny cannot be made DEM
ocratfc policy because Of any number of Re-
publican precedents: nor can the Rarb be
made decent by labelling It t''rotsliation."
take 1t to be good Democracy to say that no
soldier is called upon to follow O general who

All this was breathlessly listened to,
while sly, and perhaps unwarranted, appli-
cations. of the remarks were made on all
sides to the situation of the party in New
York State. The conclusion Of Mr.. Dick
inson's speech, the expression of belief
that the party would choose as standard
bearer man surely representative of the
Democratic party and of the people, was
almost lost in the volume of delighted
yelling that greeted the preceding some
what sensational utterances

The avalanche of Cleveland enthusiasm
was held in check for moment by Hon.
Sherman Hoar, of Massachusetts, who said
he came as a substitute speech-maker for
Governor RUSSELL The mention Of the let
ter's name was heartily applauded.
After several other speeches, when the
letters of regret were reached, and the first,
which was from ex-President Cleveland, was
it was announced that Mr.. Cleve-
land was at that moment making an address
for the Democracy in the canvass in Rhode
Island. The ex-President's message said:
Work that have to do,and engagements
have made enforce an unwilling declination
On my part to the invitation to tho Iroquoi
Club. In these days, when the Democratic
party is beSet with tempta ttonS, and when
IN every side false lights are up for its de-
Its safety will be found in stead
'astly and trustingly following the way
which principle points, and stunning the
OF temporary expedients, and
'esisting the seductions of popular miscon-
,eptions.
The message evoked renewal of the ex-
raordinary cheering that throughout the |
evening had marked everything with which |
Mr.. Cleveland seemed to have the remotest |
