son day was observed here last night
by the New Haven Democratic club.
William Jennings Bryan was a guest
and chief speaker. More than 10a
guests attended the banquet, which
was held prior to a public meeting
in Music hall.
At the conclusion of the banquet
Mr. Bryan was introduced. He said
in part:
"If l formed my opinion by what
| read in the daily press | would
come to the conclusion that there
are not many democrats left. | can
not in that way find out what is GO
ing on among the masses. 1t is ex-
tremely gratifying to me to find, by
coming to you and to others, that
there are bands of men VINO are not
disheartened by defeat-men who
think more of having their party
right in principles than to be merely
successful The democratic party
has no right to exist except it has
principles to exist for, and no prin-
ciple iustifies the existence of a party
unless it is great principle.
principle that is not great enough to
die for is not great enough to live
for"
At Music hall Mr.. Bryan discussed
variety of problems under the gen.
eral head of Civilization"
1t is impossible to suppress an
archy, he said, by penal statute. 1t
must be overcome by teaching the
necessity of government and by max
ing the government so beneticient
that men will be willing to die to pre-
serve and protect it. He denied that
the. money question is a dead issue.

vol<ed considerable applause from
the diners Mr.. Cleveland wrote:
81 am glad to know that there are
at least 80 young democrats in
Philadelphia, who are unwilling to
allow Jackson day to pass without
recognition.
"The inclination to neglect observ-
ance of day that has been so long
and so strongly related to genuine
democratic sentiments, may reason
ably be counted among the affective
visitations that have lately weakened
and depressed our party organiza-

may derive satisfaction and stimua-
ton from their efforts to revive and
strengthen the principles and prac-

faith"
