CELEBRATING JACKSON DAY.
Gold Democrats Meet Around tn.
TQble In ChicaxO.

Gold Democrats Meet Around the
Table in Chicago.
The members of the national democratic
party from the ten middle and western
states who fought under the banner of
Palmer and Buckner assembled in the ban
quet hall of the Auditorium Hotel in Chi
cago last night to celebrate the birthday of
Andrew jackson, the victory over Bryan
and free silver. and renew pledges of ad-
herence to the Indianapolis platform.
Among those present were Gen. Simon B.
Buckner of Kentucky, Charles S. Hamln of
Massachusetts, assistant secretary of the
treasury and Henry Watterson of Louis
Vile.
The following letter from President Cleve-
land to Franklin MacVeagh of Chicago was
read:
Il regret that official duties prevent my
acceptance of the invitation have received
on behalf of the national democrats of the
middle western states to attend their Jack
son day banquet on the sth instant.
when passion and prejudice threatened
to obscure the meaning of true democracy
and pervert its patriotic purposes, re-
union of those who are democrats for the
sake of principle and the good of their
country cannot fail to be inspiring and
useful.
''On an occasion when the character and
achievements of Andrew Jackson are CONF
memoratcd, the old landmarks of demo-
cratic faith should be distinctly pointed out.
AT such a time it should be impressively
taught that democracy is not disorder; that
its regard for popular rights does not mean
the care of only portion of our people;
that its loyalty to the Constitution and the
law does not mean petulant challenge of
the duty Of civic obedience; that it's ag-
gressiveness does not mean class hatred
and sectional vituperation, and that it's
success should never mean mere partisan
triumph at the sacrifice of principle and
patriotism. Yours very truly,
When Mr.. MacVeagh mentioned President
Cleveland every man arose, cheered and
|, waved napkins. There was a miIder demon
stration when Senator Palmer's letter was
read, and hearty applause followed the
reading of Secretary Morton's letter.
Washington Irving Babb spoke for Iowa

Med. Trimble for Missouri.
