We assert the necessity of such intel
ligent currency reform as will confine
the government to its legitimate fun
ctions, completely separated from the
banking business. and afford to all
sections of our country a uniform,
safe and elastic bank currency under
government supervision, measured in
volume bv the needs of business.
PRAISE FOR CLEVELAND.
The patriotism. fidelity and courage
with which President Cleveland has
fulfilled his great public trust. the
high character of his administration,
its wisdom and energy in the main
tenance of civil order and the enforce
ment of the laws, its equal regard for
the rights Of every class and every
section. its firm and dignitied conduct
of foreign affairs and its sturdy persis
tence in unfolding the credit and
honor of the nation are fully recog
nized by the Democratic party and
will secure to him a place in history
beside the fathers of the republic.
We also commend the administra
ton for the great progress made IN
the reform of the public service and
we endorse its efforts to extend the
merit system still further. We de
mand that 10 backward step be taken
but that reform be supported and ad
vanced until the un Democratic spoils
system of appointments shall be eradi
Gated
We demand strict economy in the
appropriations and in the administra-
ton of the government.
We favor arbitration for the settle
ment of international disputes. We
favor liberal policy of pensions to
deserving soldiers and sailors of the
United States.
The Supreme court of the United
State was wisely established by the
trainers of our constitution as one of
the three coordinate branches of the
government Its independence
and authority to interpret the law of
the land without fear or favor must be
maintained We condemn all efforts
to defame the tribunal or impair the
confidence and respect which it has
deservedly had.
The Democratic party ever has
maintained and ever will maintain the
supremacy of law, the independence
of its judicial administration, toe in
volatility of contracts and the obi
cations of all good citizens to resist
every illegal trust, combination and
attempt against the just rights of
property and the good order of soci-
ETY., in which are bound up the peace
and happiness of our people.
Believing these principles to be es
sential to the well being of the repub
lie, we submit them to the considera-
sion of the American people.

MANCHESTER. n. H., Nov. 81. The

quet held in the city hall. Governor
Elect Ramsdell, Congressman sulloway,

Hon. H. Quinby and others were in at.

iers Of regret were received from Vice
President Elect Hobart, Senators Cal.

others.
Senator Chandler's letter. which was
rather peculiarly wordod, referred "a
his position on the monetary question.
Among other things. he said;
I'VE rightly based our principal ar.
guments against Mr. Bryan upon the
unwisdom Of the immediate free coinage

upon that issue alone we would have

tariff issue. In 1894 those states made
up their minds that they would break
the power Of the Democratic party and
secure all needful protective tariff Is.
sues. That resolution they stuck to in
spite Of attempts 10 change It. and the
voters thus Influenced, saved us the
election. To be sure. Bryan assniied
the tariff and helped destroy the Demo-
cratic power and Palmer and Buckner
also assailed the tariff and helped elect
Mckinley and Hobart But neither the
unsound money Democrats nor the sound
money Democrats win expect the Re-
publican party 10 falter in enacting tar.

SCHOOL Reform COMING.

Tho general expectation which has prevailed
of late. that salutary measure Of school reform
would be enacted at this session, has been great
" siren gthened by the passage OF the compro-
mise bill In the Senate yesterday. The Demo
crafts who week ago filibustered while their
strength lasted and then walked out OF the
Chamber leaving the bill TO be advanced In

n like futile and ignobe manner yesterday. We

seems TO have been reached.
Throughout this controversy. which began
years ago, there has been advanced just one
objection to the abolition Of the ward trustees
which bears the scmblance Of an argument.
That IS that the trustees, being in touch with
the people Of their respective districts. stimulate
interest and confidence in the schools. When
carefully considered in the light of experience
this contention Is seen 10 contain nothing Dut

theory of government always has been that the
people liked TO have their affairs managed in Il

IS that the people want TO be we'll served. and
