CLEVELAND SENDS
 LETTER OF ADVICE Former President Speaks of the Democratic Outlook DEMANDS OF THE PEOPLE Cleveland Sends Greeting To Demo- cratic Mass Meeting and Says His Party Ought To Win the EIec-
 ton In New Jersey.
DEMANDS OF THE PEOPLE

Trenton, N. J., October 2S.-The read ing of a letter from former President Grover Cleveland in which he discusses state affairs, was the feature of the democratic mass meeting here tonight at which Frank $. Katzenbach, Jr., the democratic candidate for governor, was the principal speaker. The letter is as follows
 ITO Hon. Bayard Stockton:
 My Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your note rendering me in an invitation to preside at meeting to be held at Trenton on the 2Sth instant. in the in- terest of the democracy of New Jersey and the candidacy of Frank $. Katzen- bach, Jr. for governor of the state.-
 q am very sorry that the condition Of my health will not permit me to attend the meeting.
 Tt would be a satisfaction to me to meet on this occasion my democratic brethren of the state of my birth and present home and to add my protest to theirs against the abuses that have been allowed to affect the people of New Jersey under republican state con- trol.
 'In the pending political campaign the democracy of the state is pledged to the correction or these abuses ana d restoration to the people of their freedom of political action, and their protection in the rights and privileges which are their due.
 There is nothing that our people have a more clear right to demand Of those in control of their state govern 1nent than rigid economy and the in- exorable eXaction of honest service and duty to all who are intrusted with work. Neglect of those demands amounts directly to waste of the peo- ple's substance and leads inevitably to the prostitution of public interests to private and partisan ends.
 Tt is not consistent with the char acter or disposition of true democracy to tolerate such conditions.
 Surely our party in New Jersey is pledged to the reform of abuses and to the protection of legitimate inter- ests of all the citizens of the state and is presenting to them candidate who never had a higher incentive to har- monious, intelligent and unremitting effort.
 Yours very sincerely,
 (Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND.'
