CLEvELAND's LAST MESSAGE.

To the Editor of the World;
| have received your letter asking
me to make a response to the follow
ing question: What is the best
principle and what the best policy to
give the Democratic party new life2'
As general proposition | might
answer this question by saying that in
my opinion this could be most surely
brought about by a return to genuine
Democratic doctrine and a close ad-
herence to the Democratic policies
which in times past gave our party
success ana benefited our people.
To be more specific In my reply, |
should say that. more than ever. Just
at this time the Democratic party
should display honest and sincere
conservatism. a regard for constitu-
tional limitations and a determination
not TO be swept from our moorinss by
temporary elamor or spectacular eX-
ploitation
Our people nee,Y res; and Teassur-
anee and it will be quite in line with
true Democracy and successful policy
to impress upon our FELLOW country
men the fact that Democracy still
stands for those things.
