DR.. j, V. Lewis did the nonors as toast
master in classic style. Every speaker
was introduced with some pleasant refer
ence TO his sterling Democratic virtues,
and his special adaptabiIity 10 the toast
assigned.
DR.. LEWIS IS ALWAYS IN IT.
The first toast, Andrew jackson, had
been assigned TO VIM. A. Lynch of Canton,
but Nc, Lynch was compelled to go TO
New YORK and DR.. J. V. Lewis gave a
strong, ten minutes talk on the hero of
New Orleans, that Mr.. Lynch, had he been
present, would have enjoyed, every word.
MAGNIFICENT EFFORT.
j. living Brooks of Salem, spoke to the
toast, "lhe Future of the Democratic
party
Having lately visited the Hermitage,
where the mortal Of Andrew jackson lies
buried, with only plain, moss grown
slab above his humble grave, he spoke of
his last resting place as characteristic of
of his life, PLAIN and without ostentation.
His memory Is always green, and will al
ways be kept green, while liberty lives in
this country, by such evidences of his
value to his country and humanity as are
seen around this banquet hall. He closed
by saying that the Democracy of the fu
ture would be the Democracy OF victory II
they emulated the simple virtues and rug
ged honesty of Andrew jackson.
THE NEws-DEMoCRAT WAS THERE.
Gen. Sherwood of Canton spoke TO the
toast of Democracy, Paganism and Plutoc-
racy. As he is supposed to preside over
the newspaper in which this is printed, il
might be construed as egostistic to refer
to his effort. Ii was of the serio comic
order closing with a parody Edgar A. Poes
Annabel Lee,n being a burlesque on the
joint product of robbery as illustrated in
the Mckinley side of the new tariff, and
the reciprocity humbug, as infused into
the atrocity by Blaine.
EDITOR PHELPS DID WELL.
Our present Congress was responded to
by Hon. Wallace Phelps editor of the Al
lance Review-Leader. Mr.. Phelps did
not speak long, neither did he say any
thing about our present congress,
but he gave Andrew Jackson a
good send off and closed with poetical
quotation, appropr ate and well rem
dered.
THE MEN WHO SAVED THE UNION.
Comrade j.. A. Getty, of the G. A. r.,
talked feelingly and eloquently of the
Democratic veterans. He showed that not
only did the Democratic veterans furnish
the stamina and back bone of the army,
but it also furnished ell the successful
generals. The Republican party never
furnished one great general during the
Rosecrans, Hancock, Sickles. Thomas
Hooker, Palmer, Steedman, Mcclellan all,
came out of the Democratic party.
A CONVERT FLoM THE G. o. P.
The Democratic press was responded to
by M. b. Excel, and he is a born orator.
Mr.. Excel is a young man, reared in the
faith of the q. o. p. but he is a student Of
affairs on his own hook, and having stud
led the economic question from the
standpoint of a student, he is a Democrat,
firm in the faith. He made one of the
best speeches Of the evening.
OUR DEMOCRATIC WOMEN.
Major W. W. Cantine responded to "the
Democratic ladies" and there were lots of
them present to gaze upon, and the gal
liant Major caught plenty OF inspiration
in their bright eyes and animated faces.
II there is any man on earth, in these
appreciate this subject il is an old soldier
like M0jor Cantine, who has passed many
sad and cheerless night on picket, with
no winks of sleep and no cover but the
steely sky, when calico was worth 88 cents
yard and looked to be worth 81.
MAYOR BLAKE is IN IT.
After the regular tossts, Mayor Blake,
OF Canton was loudly called for. The
Mayor was equal to the occasion and
Canton was well represented at the close.
hy man wbo looked every inch a Demo
crst, and ~ ose talk was as good as his
looks.
THE DANCE.
Then the cry went up, "on with the
dapce.n Let joy be unconfined. No sleep
till morn when youth and pleasure meet.
And il was a. m. when the last fiddler
wound up and all moved homeward.
