to win this year. they must carry the
Eastern States. 1t appeared. he said that
Mr.. Olney was strong in New York and
New Jersey, and that he would be accept
able to those States. New York not hav-'
ing any candidate, the nomination of a
man from New England and that man Mr.
Olney, would have the immense advant-
age to the Democrats of establishing n

"Of course L need not tell you how fully
am in sympathy with the objects and
purposes of the club, and how fully l
believe in the usefulness Of its efforts in
the cause OF true Democracy"
Mr. Hill in his letter said:
THE best interests Of the country re-
quire a change of administration. The
people want sanity rather than hysteria
in the management of public affairs; sta

diplomacy rather than international In.

ton the Democracy can win the contest

Senator Tillman, in sending his regrets,
said:
"The sentiment which l would propose
to the Democrats who will honor the
memory of Jackson at the banquet Fri
day next would be this:
'The Democratic party will live as
long as it deserves to, and will command
the support OF majority of the people
when it shall demonstrate it's adherence
to the grand principles of the fathers.
When we stand for the people and their
rights in a mannare so unmstakable that
they cannot be misled, the people will
support the party in preference to any
other.
''The two wings of the party must flap
together if we are to make any progress.
We must ignore past differences on mat
tiers of policy, but no candidates can sue
coed who is obnoxious to the South and
West, just as no candidate has succeeded
who was obnoxious to the East. We
must find a man who can command the
respect anu loyal SuppolI VI OH PdILloIS
and with such man we will win, be-
cause the times are threatening, and all
conservative men without regard to party
will support such candidate.
Pennsylvania Democrats cannot give
us any electoral votes. Let them not
undertake to dictate policy or present
a candidate who can only revive the bit
terness of the past and make success i'm
possible"
Congressman John S. Williams, of Mis-
sissippi, who had prepared a speech on
'the principles of Andrew Jackson" was
unable to be present and it was read by
