CLEVELAND THE CHIEF SPEAKER
He Declares Party FaithIessness is Party Dis
honesty'-SpTiDger Says No Free Coin
age Measure Will be Passed.

New York, Jan. S.-The sevsnty-sev-
enth anniversary of the battle of New
Orleans was celebrated by the Business
Mems Democratic association by banquet
at the Hoffman house. The event COM
memorated particularly the memory OF
him who won the battle
OLD HICKORY JACKSON,
and was participated in by about one hun
dred ana fifty distinguished Democrats.
City Comptroller Myers presided On his
right sat Hon. Grover Cleveland, Daniel S.
Lamont Joseph G. Hendrix, Governor Alb
bott, of New Jersey, and others, while on
his left were Congressman Springer, Joseph
j. Little, Senator Cantor and others.
Speaker Crisp, Richard Croker, Senator
Hill, Governor Flower, Lieutenant Russell
and Thomas Gilroy sent regrets.
The banquet hall was decorated in the sym
bols of war, the hangings composing only
American colors. After brief address by
the presiding officer, ex-President Cleve-
land responding to the toast
THE DAY WE CELEBRATE"
said, loud cheers greeting him as he arose
to speak:
mo one can question the propriety of
the celebration to-day by the organization
whose invitation has called Us together.
That right results from the fact that 1T is
an organization attached to the doctrines
of true Democracy whose membership is
composedof business men, who devote them
selves in disinterested way TO honest
party work and labor for the growth and
spread OF political principles and progress
I'D mocratic Zest and enthusiasm over
the celebration of the anniversary CT the
battle of New Orleans grow out of the
fact the battle was won under the general
ship of Andrew jackson. Democrats to-
day
| COMMEMORATE THE POLITICAL COURAGE AND
sTEADFAsTNEsS
which were his common characteristics.
After short review of General
Jackson's public life, MIR. Cleveland
continued: president jackson be-
lieved the United States bank was an
institution dangerous to the liberties and
prosperity of the people and determined to
destroy it. He began the attack utterly
regardless OF any considerations of politl-
cal eXpediency or personal advancement,
not estimating the difficulty of the under
taking. He allowed no other issue to d.
vide his energy or to be substituted Tor that
| u. L
party of to-day has also attacked the evil
intrenched behind bulwark of govern
mental power and
GUARDED BY ITS SELFISH BENEF1CIARIEs.
The issue is great enough to deserve the
undivided efforts of our party, involving
considerations we profess to believe lie a
the foundation of justice and fairnes:
of popular rule. We have given a pledg,
TO the people and they trusted US
We promised to labor necessarily, bravely
stubbornly, seeing nothing, considering
nothing but ultimate success. That pledge
should be faithfully and honestly kept.
PARTY FAITHLEssNEss is PARTY DIsHoNoR
Nor is the sacredness of our pledges all W,
must consider. We ourselves hav,
aroused a spirit of jealous inquiry and dis
elimination touching political conduc
which cannot be blinded. The people will
visit with quick revenge the party which
betrays them. With success alread,
achieved amounting to political revolu
ton, it would be the height o
our determination and persistence
The least retreat BODIES disaster
We have preached the doctrine that hon
esty and sincerity must be eXacted from
political parties. Let US not fall under tn
combination which waits on insincere pro
LESSONS. Above all things, political fness
should not lead US to forget that at tn
polls we must meet face 10 face the voter
of the land with ballots in their hands, de
manding as condition of their support o
our party fidelity and individual devotio
to the cause in which we have enliste
! them If,;inspired by the true Jacksonia
spirit we hold the doctrine party honesty
party duty and party courage IS party ex
pediency, we shall win
SURE AND LASTING SUCCESS
through the deserved support of
u discriminating, intelligent, thought,
{ people"

!. the tariff question; that the Repu blicf

$ tariff legislation and Mckinley law, pc
haps the most Objectionable measure ev
