Dear Sir: i regret that r am unable

have received to attend the celebration
by the Tammany society, of the one
hundred and twentieth anniversary of
American independence.
'sThe situation that confronts the
country and the Democratic party at
this time invests with unusual impress
siveness this commemoration of our be-

pirate to the occasion. our stupendous
advancement is recalled, the fact should
not be overlooked that our progress has
not been by chance, but is the result Of
a wise observance of the monetary
laws that control national health and
vigor; and while we contemplate with
pride the commanding place we occupy
among the nations of the EARTH. we
should not forget that this has been
gained only through a Jealous preser-
walton of financial soundness, and a
careful maintenance of unsupported
public credit.

which we haveo thus far been able to
hold should noe be. abandoned, in the
pursuit of "a policy never attempted

bright promise of individual benefit has
never been fulfilled.

therefore begun the construction of a

q half through a beautiful farming
country where the hills are few and
easy. Thence it turns Northeasterly
and runs beside diagonal country
road direct to Wildwood. This part Of
the trip is particularly delightful. as
the path runs through a woody and
very picturesque country. The distance
from the point where it intersects the
White Bear path to Wildwood is about
the same as from that point to White
Bear Lake; and all wheelmen should
take in this lovely trip, either going or
returning. They can return to st. Paul
BY the electric line, or cross to White
Bear on the steamer, which runs every
hour.
!, The Wildwood path will be finished In
about 10 days. 1t is expected that a
path will be built around the lake by
the people at Dellwood and Mahtomedi
this season. This would make a 80
mile ride from St. Paul around the
lake and back all the way on a well
built path which would be the most
delightful ride imaginable.
