will they regain financial soundness
or the confidence of the business COM
munity by recrimination and quarrel;
nor will any members of the firm aid
in its restoration to solvent strength
by an angry insistence upon a con-
tinuation of the business methods
which have invited its embarrassment.
The Democratic party is very far
from political insolvency, but no one
here could be offended by the sugges-
ton that it's capital and prospects
have suffered serious injury since Mr..
Tilden was elected president. Then
and afterwards Northern Democratic
States were not rare curiosities;
Northern Democratic Senators, now
practically extinct, were quite nuner-
Gus and Northern Democratic Cover
nors, now almost never seen, were
frequently encountered"**Those Of
us less prominent in the party-the
rank and file-are longing to be led
through old Democratic ways to old
Democratic victories. We never
more ready to do enthusiastic battle
than now. 1t is not in the search Of
new and gaudy issues nor in the in
depreciation of strange visions that
a strong and healthy Democracy dis
plays its splendid power. Democracy
will have its doctrines in store so
long as the people are kept from their
own and just as long as their rights
and interests are sacrificed by favor
itism in Government care by unequal
ity in Government burdens; by the
encouragement OF industrial aggrega-
tions that throttle individual enter
prise, by the reckless waste of public
money, and by the greatest of all in
juries as it underlies nearly all others
system of tariff taxation whose
robbing exactions are far beyond the
needs of economical and legitimate
Government expenditures, which
purchases support by appeals to
sordidness and greed and which con-
tinually corrupts the public con-
science.
The meeting of Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Hill was of a most cordial
nature It is the first that has taken
place for six years and Judging from
their actions it would seem that they
are willing to bury past differences
and forget former feuds and to join
hands in aiding in the victory
which will follow reunited Demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. Hills speech waslargely made
up of an attack upon the policies of
the present administration. He
seriously criticised President Roose-
velt's speech at Arlington on Decora-
ton Day. His illusions to the Cuban
situation were also sarcastic to an
extreme. Concluding he said: eve
have no criticisms to make of any
Democrat in the land. We are ex-
Guiding no men or set of men from
the party councils. We have no test
oaths to administer to those who
wish to join US. The Democratic
doors are wide open"
The extensive preparations, which
have been in progress for the coro-
nation of King Edward, were put to
a sudden stop on Tuesday, by the
prostration of England's reigning
monarch. He has been i'll for some
time but the secret was jealousy
guarded and he was sustained by the
hope that he would be able to get
through with the ceremonies before
being compelled to undergo an opera
ton for appendicitis. The disease
took a rapid turn for the worse how
ever, and it was found that the sur
geon's knife could no longer be spared
if the King wanted to live. Heunder-
went the pain and is now getting
along as we'll as could be expected,
but it will be several days before heis
out ofdanger. AllLondon is stunned
by his collapse and the guests which
had gathered from the four quarters
of the globe are now disbursing to
to their homes. The coronation will
not take place for several months.
