Baltimore sun special.

Baltimore sun special.
Washington, June 2o.-Widcspread
interest was manifested by Democratic
members Of Congress today in the
Tilden Club harmony meeting in New
York last night, at which ex-President
Grover Cleveland and ex-senator David
B. Hill made speeches.
Democratic leaders in Washington
differ in their opinions as to the time
illness Of the remarks made, particularly
those Of Mr.. Cleveland. Senator james
X. Jones' of Arkansas, chairman Of the
Domoaratic National Committee, said
10 correspondent OF The Sun:
$50 far as harmony and reorgani-
gation are concerned, there is nothing
TO do hut for the men not now in the
rarity to get in and behave themselves.
Tie party is now we'll organized and
needs no reorganization. The great
purposes of the governments founders
100 years ago are those dear to Demo-
cratic hearts today. Hence, in my
opinion, in the next national campaign
the leading question will be whether or
not we shall adhere to the principles
upon which tine government was
founded or whether we shall follow the
example of other nations of the world
and continue our lust for conquest l
think that in our domestic matters the
question of trusts and the tariff Will
be of the first importance.
Those who are insisting upon tho
reorganization of the party are, in my
opinion, not the best friends of tbs
party, but are generally those who
have voted against it and with the Re-
publicans recently. The declarations
of the party in 1886 and 1909 were
sound. / believe the party in the next
campaign will follow the same general
lines it took in 1896 and 1900, and that
NIL Democrats and others who believe
in the Declaration Of Independence
will seek to wrest the government from
the control of those who differ from
the political doctrines of our party
which include, besides anti imperialism
and low tariff policy, the Federal
control and management OF the trusts.
"There are 6,500,000 Democrats in
the organization who voted with us IN
1896 and 1900. Ii is simply nonsense
to talk about few hundred thousand
Democrats who bolted the ticket under
taking to reorganize that 6,500, 600 =

up the Jersey coast as Atlantic City.

title of the lecture that DR.. G.. W.
Briggs has consented to deliver in the
lecture room of the Broadway Meth.
odist church next Thursday evening,
at the request Of one of the societies
of his church. There will doubtless be
a large crowd to hear him, as he is a
charming and popular speaker, and
the subject is one of deep interest
to the masculine and feminine world
alike. He is certain to take an orig
iral view of this delightful piece
of femininity, and will give some
thoughts worth thinking on, beside.
The American girl should be present
in full force, and so should the Amer
lean boy, to hear all about her.
