two studies. Representatives from

log the Future Of Denscrsey.

New York, Nov. 3s.-Democratic
leaders from all over the country
have written indorsing the opinions
of Grover Cleveland regarding the
future Of democracy. Carter Hsr-
rison. mayor Of Chicago, writes:
'.The position Of the democracy
relative to the great questions Of the
day Is clear reflection OF the senti-
ment Of the masses Of the people.
The democratic demand for such y
revision of the tariff as shall relieve
the people from the burden Of pay
ing Of their scanty earnings heavy
tribute to the oyergrown infant in
dustries' is identical with the popu-
lar demand Democratic insistence
upon an immediate and earnest mar
shaling Of the powers of the general
government in an attack upon the
trusts finds a ready popular re-
spouse. In the west, at least, there
is progressing to-day in the demo-
cratic ranks the gradual development
OF the idea Of public ownership Of
public utilities, and in this the de-
mocracy is merely keeping pace with
the sentiments Of the people,"
