DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

FIX. President Cleveland and ex-Sen-
ator Hill made strong pleas for re.
organized democracy at the Tilden
Clubs hermony NEE ting which was
held last night al tne new club house.
There were more democrats ut the
mes ting than the club could accommo-
date with comfort, and they were very
enthusiastic when Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Hill predicted thst victory would
| be theirs.
To democrats the event was one OF
/ the most memorable for many day,
as Grover Cleveland and David B. Hill
met in harmony, seeking to draw the
factions OF their party together. 1t was
the first public political appearance OF
the ex.President 10 five years. He
spoke first. Ex-senator Hill spoke
oft ar him, and then Gov. A. J. Monta'
que, of Virginis, and Col. w. A. Castor,
of Boston, delivered addresses. VIM.
J. Bryan had been invited TO attend,
though not to speak, but no reply was
received from him,
The ex-President and ex-senator
exorted the clashiDg elements OF the
party to unite In advocacy OF tradition
al politics, and l. + bygones be bygones.
The present wss hailed as an OPP
oitune moment for the success OF the
party.
Senator Hill attacked the administra.
ton and asssiled its conduct In Cuba
| and the Philippines.
Mr.. Cleveland declared the party Is
very far from political Insolvency,
though somewhat impaired. TIE crowd
yelled "Nt! Ntm when he announc-
| ed his absolute retirement from politics.
MIR. Hill 10 his remarks praised the ex'
| President.
Among other things Mr. Cleveland said
| at is not in the search Of new and gaudy Is
sues nor in the Interpretation OF strange
visions that a strong and healthy democracy
displays its splendid power. Democracy will
| have its doctrines In store as long as the peo-
pie are kept from their own, and j1st as long
as their rights and interests are sacrificed by
| fsvoritism In government care"
Mr.. Hills exceptions to the course OF the
present administration we're iDcslve and
broug hit forth great applause. Among other
things he said: The signs of the times point
unmistakaby TO al awakened interest in the
promotion Of the success OF democratic princi-
pes OF government. The people want i'm
mediate relief from the preIent high prices
extorted from them. That relief can be OBJ
tanned by the application OF a speedy and eff
feetual remedy in the repeal OF all tariff
duties upon productions controlled by the
trusts"
Governor Montague Of Virginia was at his
best and the fervency he displayed In his ac-
customed home-tbrusts brought down the
house. He said. We need not hunt for is
sues in this campaign. is the party cannot
appeal to the people for an ole fashioned re-
vivsl Of party prosperity now, when can we
Let us make the next contest one for the
restoration Of democratic p dnciples."

The republican politicians are the

vainly imagine that they can humoug

State republican convention only q
few days ago engraited the following
planks In its platform
"We heartily approve the action Of
the President, through bis attorney
general, 10 instituting proceedings to
check the growth Of unlawful comb
nations intended to raise the price OF
commodities at the expense Of t1e con-
sumner, and we recommend that similar
action be taken in all cases where the

binations through the Illegal mauipula.

our answering loyalty to the republi-

deprecste any suggestion under exist

iryment Ut unparalleled prosperity.
We believe 1t to be the dictate of wis
dom to let we'll enough alone, and not
to impsril business interests by any
suggestion of present. interference with
revenue legislation"
Now the Pennsylvania republicans
know that the growth OF the great trusts
is due 10 the existence OF the present
high protective tariff, yet they condemn
the former and uphold the lstter-a re-
msrksble procedure and an urtsnabe
proposition. Then, too, Pennsylvania
has the largest republican representa-
ton in Congress of any State Of the
union, but If either Of her Senators or
Representatives has made any effort to
pass single measure that would check
the ins tiate greed Of the trusts, 1t has
escaped observation. BIlls of all kinds

the suez canal was built at private ex-
pepse and is making money rapidly;
but ss the powers that be have oecideo
that a canal must be built. the
Panama routs should be selected by
all means, even though most OF the
democratic Senators (Which is to be
regrettsd) favored the Nicaragua
route. The Panama canal would pro-
vide the shorter route (messursd In
average steamer time) between the
eastern and western seaboards. 1t
would be less than one-third the length
OF the alternative canal, which would
