GROVER CLEVELAND.

To Hon. w. D. Bynum.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 12.-Your
telegram inviting me to attend the
meeting at Louisville to-day has been
forwarded to me at this place and
greatly regret my inability to accept.
The conservative and patriotic decla-
ration of the indianapolis convention
on the public questions involved in
the pending contest and the high
character of it's nominees cannot fail
to arouse the real Democratic senti-
ment of the country and command the
hearty support of all who believe in
the preservation of the public honor,
the public peace and the stability and
value OF the currency used by our
people. I am proud to take my stand
with the old-fashioned Democrats who
have refused to abandon their honest
convictions in order to form unnat-
uraI alliance with political and social
organizations whose purposes are
dangerous to the country and wholly
inconsistent with the fundamental
principles of our party, and l pledge
to you and your associates such sup
port and assistance as can properly
give during the campaign.
