PRESIDENT CLEVELAND's LETTER.
President Cleveland's letter was as fol-

CLEvELAND's LETTER.
The following from President Cleveland
was received.
Executive Masion, Washington, D. c.,
June 49, lsg3-Hon. Richard Croker, chair
man ctc-Dear Sir: ! regret that am una
letOaccept the invitation of the Tammany
Society, to attend the celebration OF the ami
yprsary of nAmerican Independence on the
Fourth of July This is day which all true
Americans ought to celebrate as often as it
occurs When, however, the commemOration
Of the discovery of the land we occupy and
the celebration of the day when it was conse-
Grated to liberty and popular government are
coincidGut the occasion should revive and
stimulate all the ennobling and patriotic senti-
nents which are essential to the safety and
perpetuty of American institutions At such
atime il is fitting that we rejoice in the
d3mtlesS purpose and constant devotion that
has thus far marked out the way Of our ma
ton, We should lose the most important
lesson Of the day We celebrate, If we forgot
that the labor and allegiance Of those in
trusted with sef-government must be unre-
hitting and always patriotic. There has
never been a time when our cOuntrymen
should be more Soberly reminded that they
cannot safely delegate their duties and obli-
cations of citizenship, nor neglect to cultivate
their individual ana personal interest IN pub
lie affairs. If those who now celebrate the
anniversary Of American Independence guard
against the sordid struggle for unearned
wealth that stiles patriotism; If they exact
from the public servants the strictest account
and ability In the performance Of their public
duties, if they hold fast to the American ideas
that work is honorable and economy is vir-
tue, if they insist that there should be honesty
and cleanliness in politics: and if they refuse
to encourage experiments that entianger for.
elgn or national finance, those who follow us
will ioyously celebrate the day in centuries
i yet to come Yours, very truly,n
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Letters of regret at their inability to
to be present were also read from Vice
4 President Stevenson, senator Hill
& and many senators, representatives
and many other public men to the
number of about POO.
Vicc-President Stevenson's letter
briefly expressed regret that a previous
engagement to assist at a celebration else
where, prevented his acceptance of Tam
manyS invitation.
