Ex-President and Ex-senator Speak at
Dedication Exercises Of "TiIden
HaII' In New York City.

A New York special says: Demo-
cratic unity was the keynote Of a great
gathering Of repres entative democrats
Thursday night to attend the opening
ct the handsome new quarters OF the
Tildeh club. Addresses were made by
prominent democrats and afterwards
a collation. was served in the banquet
hall to the distinguished guests OF the
evening and a buffet supper was serv-
ed in the basement for the rank and
file.
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 speech of the ex'
president in five years. He spoke first
Ex-senator Hill spoke after him and
then Governor A. ]. Montague, OF Viz.
ginia, and Colonel w. A. CASTOR, OF
Boston, delivered addresses.
William ]. Bryan had been invited to
attend, though not to speak, but no re-
ply was received from him.
Mr.. Cleveland had scarcely got into
the building when ex-senator David
B. Hill, accompanied by l.. Latin Kel'
logg, came in. Mr.. Hills eye caught
Mr.. Cleveland as soon as he had en-
tered the club and moment later
they were cordially shaking each 9TH
ers hand.
Loud and prolonged applause greet
ed the two men as they entered the as
sembly room. President Bowling, OF
the club, soon began to speak, and, in
introducing ex-President Cleveland,
said:
1--WE have founded this club to pro-
mote the best interest Of the democrat.
ic party. For that reason we have in
vited democrats from all parts of the
country to listen to the words Of those
prominent in their party. We have
named this club after that great states.
man, Samuel J. Tilden, and this club
stands for the political and govern
mental honesty for which the name
Tilden stands.
1--WE have with us here tonight the
greatest of living democrats. The first
speaker 1 have the honor Of introduc-
ing to you Is the successful candidate
Of two nominations, ex-President
Grover Cleveland"
There was tremendous applause as
Mr.. Cleveland ascended the small plat
form. This applause wound up with
three cheers and a "tiger." When
quiet was restored the former presi-
dent began speaking.
MIR. Cleveland declared that the DEM
ocratic party is not insolvent and that,
with unity, the prospects of winning
campaign are bright.
At the point in his speech where
Mr.. Cleveland announced his absolute
retirement from politics the crowd
yelled mo! No! MOI"
Senator David B. Hill, who spoke
next, was received almost as enthu-
siastically as Mr.. Cleveland.

LONDON IN TURMOIL
Beginning Of Coronation Week
Finds City Well Prepared.
STREETS DENSELY THROkGED
All Sorts Of Rumors are Circulated Re.
sarding King Edwards Health.
He Seems Much Alive,
However.

A London special says: The reap
pearance Sunday Of a brilliant sun
shine after weeks Of rain and mufky
weather gave to the first day Of cor6
nation week an air of unusual gayety
and gladdened hearts of thousands Of
British subjects from all parts of the
empire and the thousands of foreign
ers pouring into London eager to wit
ness as much of the weeks events as
possible.
The announcement that King Ed
ward, Queen Alexandra and the court
would return to London from Wind
sor Monday at noon increased the uni
versal anticipations for that day and
served to quiet, to some extent, the
. food Of extraordinary rumors concern
ing the kings physical condition. va
ried in some quarters by weird tales Of
pots to assassinate his majesty and
other fctions. all of which were
promptly denied by the officials most
intimately connected with the king.
King Edwards health was authorita-
lively declared to be good at Windsor
castle Sunday and during the morning
his majesty attended divine service,
accompanied by other members Of the
royal family. Sunday evening he en-
joyed a drive through the royal gar
dens Of Windsor castle in a closed car
riage.
At the command of the king many
thousand persons were admitted to the
east terrace of Windsor castle for the
Sunday band performances. The ter
race was crowded. The king and the
queen listened to the music from the
windows of their private apartments.
King Edwards appearance does not
justify the sensational rumors of his
Illness.
Thoroushfares Crowded.
The congested condition of the
streets of London throughout Sunday
furnished an omen Of the condition
of travel through these streets the
latter days Of the week. The barriers
across the streets which intersect
those through which the coronation
procession will pass, and whirh are
completed, are proving an inpediment
to ordinary traffic.
Kensington gardens and the beauti
full groves about the Crystal and Alex.
anGra palaces are filed with colonial
and native troops, clad in scar ct
white, Khaki and blue uniforms.
The throngs in the street at night
find much to engage the eye. The
fronts of innumerable buildings are
hung with lighted decorations and the
venetian masts are covered with gar
lands and connected by strands Of
roses. The streets are filled with mile
after mile of colored lights and the va
rious stations Of the royal coronation
procession are marked with arches
representing Great Britain's colonies.
American flags were in evidence at
great number Of windows. Some hotels
are flying both American and British
flags from their stats in honor Of the
American visitors domiciled within.

Campaion Uninteresting.

The first week of the campaign for
the United States senate, congressman
and state officers was not specially in
teresting. The senatorial candidates
particularly seemed to find it 'dihcul
to strike the Cld-timc stump:speaking
gait, and the audiences which have
been accustomed so long to be enter
tanned with a lively show do not ap-
preciate these quiet performances.
With the state candidates Colonel
Tillman has added little spice by his
attack on Congressman Talbert, who
is running for governor. Talbert so
far has made no rejoinder, but it is
said he will respond in time.
