Of the Jackson day banquet given
BY the Duckworth club here to-
night was the address OF Judson Har-
mon, attorney general under the second
Cleveland administration. Mr.. Har-

rooms previous to the banquet, and was
received with demonstrations. through
out the evening, In his address, he
said:
"Of late years the Republican poll
ticians have set up the claim that 1t Is
their management of public affairs
which make good times. and 80 they
must be kept In control II good times
are to continue, This new humbug
worked nicely for while. But year
ago, In spite Of the success of the Re-
publicans In the congressional election,
some OF the clouds and rainbows which
had been capitalized and put of on the
people began togvanish. Banks failed
here and there, trade combinations top
Pied fear and dIstrust began to stalk
about And not Democrat In power
anywhere TO lay II on. And so matters
have gone on ever since, until Mr.. Han
ma, the chief apostle OF party-made
prosperity, has announced that all this
Is due to natural causes.
Il believe the people are now turning
once more to the Democrats for relief
from the extravaganza, the unfairness,
and the undependableness of the pres
ent administration; and the brag and
prctense still employed 10 misead them
should be punctured once for all by the
plain facts. II Is false that entrusting
the Democratic party with power Is, or
ever was, Il menace to the prosperity Of
the country. II is false. too, that there
is danger OF hurtful disturbance In the
porcess Of reform in the tariff and other
things to which the Democratic party
is pledged.
THE time is ut hand when the peo-
pie require change OF administration.
They are no longer TO be prevented by
false assertions and imaginable fears
from committing II again TO our party
There are enough existing evils and
grounds OF concern which are seen and
felt by all fair-minded men.
THE expenses for the current year
In likely Ia 60 on, because the party
leaders Will not change the policy they
are pursuing. Rascality has been dis
covered In the public service whose ma
ture and extent would lead any pru.
dent man. II II We're found In a de-
partment OF his own business TO have
the other departments overhauled
mo man can tell, when he goes to
bed at night, what the government
may be UP to in the morning. And
from day to day the course becomes
more hagrant Of the leaders who claim
TO have put their trademark on all the
public virtues, and who have inhaled
entirely too long the insldous vapors OF
a sure thing"
FROM MR., CLEVELAND.
Philadelphia, Jan. S--The principal
leaders Of the two wings Of the Demo-
cratic party of Philadelphia were
brought together tonight by the Old
Hickory club, which gave dinner In
celebration Of Jackson day. Democrats
OF prominence throughout the state ANA
several members OF Congress were
present, In letter OF regret EXPIRES
ident Cleveland wrote;
"Of course, need not tell you how
fully / am in sympathy with the OBJ.
jects and purposes Of the club, and how
fully believe In the cause OF the true
Democracy"
David B, Hin, in his letter, said:
"The best interests OF the country re-
qure a change OF administration. The
people want sanity, rather than hyste'
ria, In the management OF pubic af-
fairs; stability. rather than fckleness
honorable diplomacy, rather than In
ternational intrigue; straightforward
ness, rather than fakerlsm, and hon
esty rather than corruption, With wise
counsels live Issues conservative cam
didates and unity OF action, the De-
mocracv can win the contest OF 1904
Senator Tillman, In sending his re-
grets, said
THE two wings OF the party must
flap together II we are 10 make any
progress. We must ignore past differ
ences on matters Of policy, but no cam
didate can succeed who Is ohr oxious
to The south and west, just az no cam
dldate has succeeded who was Ohnoy-
lous TO the east. We must find in.n
who can command the respect and ny
al support OF all patriots, and with such
a man we will win, because the times
are threatening and all conservative
men, without regard to party, Will sup
port such candidate,
pennsylvania Democrats cannot
give us any ELECTORAL votes. Let them
not undertake to dictate a policy or
present candidate who can only ie-
Vive the bitterness Of the past and
make success impossible"
