. club for the opportunity to enjoy
hospitality and congratulated it up
the celebration of JacksOn's great vi
N tory. He then gave way to Senat
nd Gray who made an excellent speech,
set the course of which he said:
Nv "You have made us feel at home
You always do, and ! feel that l ha
= good reason to be at home in Dem
~ cratic organization of any kind.
EN- are all proud to be Democrats to-nig
en- We are all proud to call Oursel'
Democrats ON jackson Day. / thi
. all rejoice that we are here as Dem
Gratis to celebrate an occasion that

calendar saints Of the Democra
It's | General Andrew Jackson.
the is very we'll, l think, sometimes TO ia
ny, account Of old fashioned Democra
as the old fashioned creed of
party. in order that we may see i
Rf where we are; that we may see whetl

in our fathers-and it was and is a IA

ars' place that Andrew jackson has, not O.
5H- in the history Of our country and

ews their day and generation for the pu
veal, would be of little avail"
r. He then said that as the saints
'eet. the church point the way, so do tn
AS who founded the Democracy stand
show the path that all true Democi
lnty should tread. He told OF the ei
held struggles of Andrew Jackson and
le ,s, -; ., he fought the battle OF life when a

ana of his country and never lost faitf
mo their patriotism and truth. The g
