physicians can discover. AS if this unfor-
tunate condition of affairs was not enough,
the baby is afflicted with more fingers than
is usually given to mankind. From the
little finger of each hand is an extra finge-
OF perfect shape ana size. and, excepting
that it points in an opposite direction to the
other fingers. is apparently formed to re-

In all other respects the little girl Is
healthy, weighs eight pounds, and is as

street This is the eighth year Of their
married life, and during that time three
children have been born, who have all died.
Mr.. Grossman is an upholste-er, and has
been exceedingly anxious to keep the fact
of the babys blindness from its mother as
long as possible.
She learned the truth yesterday, however,
and was overcome with grief at the
thought OF her baby's misfortune that she
begged her husband not to allow any one
to talk to her.

friend of Mrs. Grossman. This woman
explained that the eyelids of the little one
seem to be fairly well-developed, but are
apparently grown to the flesh, and as far
as can be discovered there are no eyeballs.
The parents have not given up all hope.

tied on the child face in the region of the
eye there seemed to be some sort of move

doctrines. Your association has done
much by way OF educating our people
touching the particular subjects which
are recognized as belonging TO the Demo-
cratic faith; but it seems to me that It's
best service has been an enforcement and
demonstration OF the truth that our party
is best organized and more powerful
when it strives for principles, instead OF
sp ,ils, and that it quickly responds to the
ST mulus applied by an enlistment in the
pc Ople's cause.
This acknowledgment of true Democ-
rae suggests that the National Associa-
Ito of Democratic clubs, and every
otl er Democratic organization, should
labor increasingly and earnestly to save
oug party in its time of power and re-
spsnsibility from the degradation and
disgrace of failure TO redeem the
pledges upon which our fellow country
men entrusted us with the control of
their Government.
All who are charged on behalf of the
Democratic party with the redemption
of these pledges should now be inl-
pressively reminded that as we won our
way to victory under the banuer of
tariff reform, so our insistance upon that
principle is the consideration of our re-
tention Of the peoples trust, and that
atty 10 party organization demands the
subOrdination Of our individual adj
7'4ntages and wishes, and the putting
side of petty and lgnoble iealousies and
chickering's when party principles and
party integrity and party existence are
at stake
l cheerfully inclose a contribution to
the funds necessary to carry on the good
work of your organization, with hearty
wish for its continued success and useful
ness. Yours, very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND,
