LETTER FROM CLEVELAND.
The President on the Principles OF the
Democratic Party.

D'moNhdbiC Il dTlls
WASHINGTON, April 24.-President
Cleveland has forwarded the follow
ing letter to Hon. Chauncy F. Black,
president Of tie National Association
of Democratic clubs:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
D. c., April %, ls94.-Dear Sir: have
carefully read the communication YOU
lately placed in my hands, setting
forth the future purposes and present
needs of the National Association of
Democratic clubs.
The achievements of this organiza-
ton should be familiar to all who are
in favor of the continuation of Demo
cratic supremacy, and should enlist
the encouragement of those who ap-
preciate the Importance of any effect
i've disseminationof political doctrine.
Your association has done much by
way of educating our people, touching
the particular subjects which are rec
ognized as belonging to the Demo
cratic faith; but it seems to me its
best service has been an enforcement
and demonstration of the truth that
our party is best organized and most
powerful when it strives for princi-
pies instead of spoils, and that it
quickly responds to the stimulus sup
piled by an enlistment in the peoples
cause.
This acknowledgment of true
Democracy suggests that the national
association of Democratic clubs. and
every other Democratic organization,
should labor increasingly and earnest
ly to save the party in its time of
power and responsibility from the
degradation and disgrace of failure
to redeem the pledges upon which
our fellow cOuntrymen intrusted us
with the control of their government.
All who are charged, on behalf of
the Democratic party, with the re-
demption of these pledges should now
be impressively reminded, that as we
won our way to victory under the ban
ner of tariff reform. so our insistence
upon that principle is the condition of
our retention of the peoples trust;
and that fealty to party organization
demands the subordination of our in
dividual advantages and wishes, and
the putting aside of ignoble jealousies
and chickering's, when party principles
and party integrity and party exist
ence are at stake.
| cheerfully inclose a contribution
to the funds necessary to carry on the
good work of your organization, with
a hearty wish for its continued sue
cess and usefulness. Yours very
truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

WARMLY WELCOMED BY FARMERS.
Encamped at Nicola After the First DAVIS

nicola, Iowa, April 95.-Kelly and
mis- industrial army ended their first
days march from Council Bluffs here
at o'clock last evening and immedi-
ately went into camp IN a grove just
east of the town. The entry into
Nicola was triumphal march. Al
most every man, woman and child of
the 1000 inhabitants went out to greet
the army; flags were borne and cheers
lusty as the 1,sO0 tramped down the
towns main street to the strains of
country bands. The stores and va
can't buildings of this place were
thrown wide open, and the weary men
were offered all available shelter.
The little town of Underwood was
reached about noon and a sumptuous
repast served by the enthusiastic vii
layers. When the meal was over and
the impromptu speeches done the
march was resumed amid the energetic
SACClo VI luC CIONu IlldG Was gain
cred. On every hand the deepest
sympathy for Kelly and his men were
expressed and farmers and townsmen
were eager to supply the wants of the
commonwealers. Nicola is in it to a
man and the action of the railroads
for refusing train is as violent here
as at Council Bluffs or Omaha. As an
irOnical expression of the feeling re-
garding the calling out of the Iowa
militia, the citizens here formed a
company of little boys and girls to
greet the advent of the army.
Throughout the day there was no
scene of disturbance or disorder, and
the plan of Selling a train has been
abandoned. The railroads entering
Council Bluffs will not, however, run
trains in this vicinity until the
army is well off their routes.
General Kelly said that whether the
men ride or walk, they will move
steadily forward to Des Moines. There
the army expects to secure train for
Chicago, and at Chicago the men be-
lieve they will be well provided with
transportation to the East.

Small-Weakness by ChIlls.

Small-Weakness by ChIlls.
WASHINGTON, April Eft is not
likely that Congressman Jerry Simp-
son of Kansas, will live longer than
ten days or two weeks, if, indeed, he
hveS'that long. Death has a strong
hold on him to-day and it will be the
happening almost of the impossible if
his grasp is loosened.
Since Saturday night the sick man
has steadily lost ground. That night
there came chill. Yesterday there
were two and all weakened him great
ly. He has lost all strength and is
utterly unable to rally when the chills
leave him exhausted. He does not
rest well and can eat nothing. A lit
tie milk is administered at intervals,
that being the only nourishment he
receives. His kidney dis ders do not
abate and the infammatory rheuma-
tism is held in check with difficulty.
His blood is in bad condition and the
poison faint spreads and grows more
dangerous.
Mr.. Simpsons COLLEAGUES are unre-
hitting in their attentions. Some
one of them call nearly every hour,
but no one is admitted to his bedside.
Yesterday Mrs. Simpson, who is worn
out by long vigils and herself filter
for nurses care than to give it so
increasingly, sent for Mr.. Simpsons
sister who is in Chicago
That Mr.. Simpson should have the
remotest chance for recovery, it is
necessary that turn for the better
should occur at once. Unjust partake
of the miraculous, for the patient has
no strength wherewith to support or
maintain it.

KELLY'S ARMY,
Marching Through Iowa on Foot and
in Wagons.

in Wagons.
Nicola, Iowa, April 94.-Last night
Kelly issued orders that none of the
men be allowed to leave the camp.
Colonel" Baker told his men that
they could leave camp if they so de-
sired. In consequence of this Kelly
called a court martial this morning.
This decided unanimously against
Baker and he was expelled from
the camp. During breakfast a man
in Company c" from Sacramento
quarrelled with comrade and drew
a knife. His opponent seized a club
and with friend began an energetic
belaboring of the belligerent. Kelly
appeared and ordered the three men
transferred to another company. To
this Company C'' objected and when
the general" ordered them into the
ranks they refused to 60.
Company C is disbanded," shouted
Kelly. THE men may join other COM
panles but must follow orders here
after"
Denunciations Of Kelly were heard,
some Of the men openly accusing him
of appropriating funds to his own use.
Colonel" Spnad, in whose regiment
Company c b l0nred, made an appeal
for his men, but Kelly was obdurate.
The men were equally so and the
company" was disbanded and its
members expelled The men followed
the army to Avoca.
The farmers of the surrounding
country had provided about 100 wag-
ons and the greater part of the men
were carried. One or two companies
were compelled to go afoOt and Baker
joined the ranks in one of these. The
day was bright and warm and good
time was made. Dinner was taken in
a pretty grove about nine niles from
Nicola and the army" reached Avoca
about on time and were well provided
with rations.
