while the assumption of the duty
involved in the government of the
greatest city of our country creates
grave RESPONSIBILITIES, the impressive
manner in which the Democracy Of the
city shall meet its municipal RESPONSE
bilities will in large degree determine
the extent to which our fellow coun-
trymen, in every part of the land, Will
be willing to trust the Democracy of
the nation in broader fields of govern
mental rule.
''Those far bevond the limit of New.
York who love the Democratic party
confidently expect that the methods OF
the new municipal administration will
be so clean and efficient and It's high
purposes so manifest in all things as
to impress the entire country with the
security and peace promised by the ma
tiOnal supremacy of safe ana conser-
vative Democracy
The speakers included Mayor Nc
Clellan, Richard Olney, David B. Hill,
Charles A Towne and Congressman
De Almond. Ex-Congressman w
Bourke Cochran who acted as toast
master, introduced as the first speaker
Mayor Mcclellan, in an address in
which, after referring briefly to ques-
tions of national policy, he took up po-
litica1 conditions in New York city. de-
had been abolished in New York so far
as laws could abolish it. but that the
Democratic population of New York
city had made New York Democratic,
not through the laws. but in spite of
the laws. The Democratic victory in
New York city was, he said, a Dresage
of national victory on similar but
broader lines and Mr.. McClellan's ad-
ministration a preparation for field Of
wider usefulness.
Mr.. Mcclellan, introduced as the
illustrious son of an Hlustrious sire,
said in part:
1T was my good fortune two months
ago to lead the Democratic party to
victory in this city. 1t was my good
fortune to be the standard bearer in the
first successful slkirmish preliminary to
the great battle which is to be fought
this year, and so, hearing your cheers,
/ feel that they are not intended so
much for the man who stands before
YOU as for the cause which he has the
honor to represent. And for that cause
I ask you to join with me in sending
from this great Democratic gathering in
this great Democratic city the glad
news TO our brethren throughout the
land that we Democrats of New York
are resolute in our purpose to wrest the
state and nation from Republican mis-
rule.
Because we are capable of much,
which is expected Of us; because much
has been given to us, much will be re
quired. Let US, then, at the beginning
of this political year, present to the
country the spectacle of a united and
loyal party, striving earnestly to be
worthy of the name of Democrats.
