HIS PARTY ON TRIAL.
Cleveland Feels the Responsible
ity Following the Election.
Partisan Satisfaction at the victory aud Faith
in the Future-He Appreciates
HIS Obligations.

The speech of Mr.. Cleveland delivered
on the evening of the nth at the Willard
banquet in New York was not telegraphed,
and has just come to hand. 1t Is important,
as i. is quasi outlining by Mr.. G. of the
course he conceives to be before the Demo
cratic party. In the course of his remarks
he said:
I should not perhaps. introduce anything
somber on this occasion, but L know you will
forgive me when say that every feeling OF jul
bilation and even my sense OF gratitude is so
tempered as to be almost entirely obscured by
a realization, nearly painful OF the RESPONSE
bility l have assumed in the sight or the
American people. My love OF country, my at
tachnent to the principles OF true Democracy,
my appreciation OF the obligation have en-
tered into with the best and most con6ding
people in the world, and o consciousness of my
own weakness and imperfections, all couspire
to fill my mind with sober and oppressive re-
Elections.
When consider all that we have to do as a
party charged with the control OF the govern
ment feel that our campaign, instead OF being
concluded Is but just begun. Whit shall our
performance be OF the contract We have made
with our countrymen and now Wen snail we

difficulties loom upon our horizon, let US re-

Who in our party charged with any RESPONSE

who among us has made pledges with intent to
