CIsveland's Letter.
s'T very much regret that a vexatious
indispOsition prevents me from attend
ing the dinner As a former resident
of New York City, stiil interested in
all that pertains To its welfare. I would
be pleased to participate in an event
which viii give opportunity for the ex-
preston of d well-grounded anticipa-
tiOn Of the civic benefits which should
result from the triumph Of the New
York democracy.
While the assumption Of the duty
involved in the government Of the
greatest city of our country creates
grave responsibilities, the impressive
thought cannot be evaded that the
manner in which the democracy of the
city shall meet its municipal response
biIities viii In a large degree deter
mine the extent to which our fellow
Countrymen i'm every part Of the land
viii be willing TO trust the democracy
of the nation in broader fields of gov

What Is Expected.
Those far beyond the limit of New
York who belong to the democratic
party confidently expect that the meth
eds of the new municipal administra-
tion will be so clean and efficient and
its high purpose SO manifest in all
things as to impress the entire coun-
try with the security and peace prom
Used by the national supremacy Of a
safe and conservative democracy"

and the pride of New England but
enthl oned in the hearts of all his coun-
trymen-" Mr.. Olney said:
Ia matters Of foreign policy the
democratic party will stand for inter
national morality and decent internal
conduct: for observance Of treaties and
obedience to international law; for re-
spect for the rights OF every ration,
however small; for refusal TO take by
stealth or by robbery what we have
Sno right to get except by consent of the
owners; for continuing our traditional
role as the defender OF the weaker
states OF this hemisphere instead of be
coming their spectator; for minding our
business generally. without meddling
With internal affairs OF foreign Coun-
tries, and without making rumOrs and
trivial events the preteXts for military
demonstrations in foreign ports.
Domestic Policy.
In matters domestic the democratic
party viii repudiate the stand pat"
policy and viii advocate both economy
IN expenditures and such tariff reform
and revision as Industrial conditions

governmental revenues and government
tai requirements: for clean administra-
lion ana official conduct free from every
suspicion of graft; for amendment of
existing tariff schedules in the interest
OF the country.
THE Democratic party could ask for
no worthier mission than to be fnstru-
mental in restoring to the national life
the sane and normal conditions upon
which its health and stability de-

'A5r. Chairman, the man Of all men
most thoroughly representative OF the
national policy I have indicated. the
most capable and sure of making them
effective-the man OF the proven cour-
age in his convictions, who never yet
turned his back upon the approach of
public duty and IS too old 10 learn how;
that man. unfortunately absent at this
time. but a New Yorker by adoption.
II not by birth. and one whom New
York has always deliehted to honor.
that man is Grover Clevelsnd whose
record in the past is an all-suficient
guarantee OF his action in the future.
