light esteem as against the accomplish
ment of selfish purposes, when state
boundaries are hardly barrier to CEN
tralized power. and when local self
government and freedom of elections are
the scott of partisanship. Those who
subscribe to the creed of this association
and make any claim to sincerity can
hardly excuse themselves for lack of
effort, at a tine when the necessities Of
the government, economically admiris-
tered, have but little relation to the taxa
tion of the people. and when eNtrava-
gance in the public service has become a
contagious disease.
To those who hope for better things
this convention of Democratic clubs is a
bright promise of reform. Unorganized
good intentions and idle patriotic aspira-
tions cannot successfully contend for
mastery with the compact forces of pri-
vate interests and greed. nor is the organ
ization always the most useful which has
the widest extent. The real benefit of
political organization is found in its near
ness to he people and in the directness of
its action. OF course harmony and unity
Of purpose are absolutely essential in his
view. Your assembling together is most
important. in so far as it promotes this
harmony and unity by conference and a
consideration of methods, and in so far as
it inspires that zeal and enthusiasm
which will make more effective your
work at home.
Therefore, am sure that can say
nothing better in taking my leave of you
than to wish that your convention may
be most profitabl and encouraging one,
and tnat, at its conclusion. you may re-
sumo your places in your home organiza-
tions, newly inspired to determined and

New YORK, Oct. 5.-The quadrennial
convention of Democratic clubs in the
Academy of Music, though shorn of its
contemplated features, including the
monster street parade, was an enthusi-
astic and successful gathering. -Four
thousand badges were worn by dele
gates representing every state in the
Union. This was the seating capacity of
the theatre, but arrangements were
made to throw open Tammany hall,
adjoining the academy, for an overflow
meeting. The galleries and the stage
were gaily festooned with national flags
and heroic life-sized portraits of the
Democratic national candidates appeared
OIL each side of the main stage entrance.
The band of the Ninth New York
national guards was stationed in the
gallery.
Massachusetts, filled the first four rows
to the left of the parquette, with Indiana
in the post of honor to the right, Con-
necticut and West Virginia following.
New York occupied the centre of the
orchestra circle Aanked by Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. All the delegates wore
handsome badges. The proscenium
boxes were set apart for distinguished
visitors.
Box ga" was assigned for the guest
of the day, ex-President Cleveland, and
the vice presidential candidate, Adlai E.
Stevenson, who however, was not pres
ent. Another distinguished absentee
was Governor Flower, to whom Box "B''
had been allotted. The national com.
mittee, represented by Chairman Har.
rity, Hon. Don M. Dickinson and w. G.

It was almost the middle of May.
1864, before Colonel Harrison had an
opportunity to participate in one of
those great battles which have become
historic. Resaca was the field upon
which he made. for himself reputation
for coolness and personal valor which
none can assail. He led on foot the
charge of his brigade upon formidable
redoubt. Away in advance of the five
regiments he ran across the valley
which to SO many was the valley OF
death, and still in the lead he climbed
the hill on which scores fell to rise nc
more.
Colonel Harrison was among the first
to cross the parapet. 1t has been said
he was the very first A hand to hand
combat ensued, the gunners defending
themselves with their rammers and the
assailants attacking with their dubbed
muskets: officers exchanged pistol shots.
1t was in fact one of the rare instances
of a genuine bayonet charge without a
shot fred except by the defenders of the
redoubt. The air rang with victorious
cheers. and for awhile the inclosure was
a scene of frantic joy. The colors had
all been borne inside, and to both friend
and enemy in the distance they an

as follows:
"Upon the verdict being delivered to

dered thereon, each juror shall be en-
titled to receive seventy-five cents per

telling the farmers about the golden
fields of grain and grassy meadows; the
placid streams and purling brooks; the
deep forests and the cleared fields; the

similar twaddle, but are not saying a
word about the 5000, 900, 900 which the

tion;" very large portion of which

A Washington special to the Enquire

A Washington special to the Enquirer
says of our congressman:
Hon.D. D. Donovan has been kept in
Washington nearly all the time since
the adjournment of congress, looking
after department work and other busi-
ness incidental to the life ofa congress
man. He left for his Ohio home to-
day. Mr.. Donovan has been renomi-
mated, and if his work in the campaign
is as effective as his work in congress
has been, his re election will be by q
handsome majority and the state and
country ticket in this section will reap
much benefit from his popularity. Mr..
Donovan is not given to celebration of
himself, but he is an excellent, practi-
cal congressman, constantly on the
watch-tower for the interests OF his
constituents. He commanded the re-
spect and friendship of members from
all the states, and that is powerful
leverage when congressman wants
to get anything through.

or Mr.. Harrison will be elected Presi-

this contest there is no place whatever
