GIVE THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE TIME TO REST
Grover Cleveland Gives His View of
Best Course for Democratic
Party to Pursue.

New York. March 19.-The World
prints the following letter from
Grover Cleveland:
Il have received your letter asking
ne 10 make a response to the follow
ing question: What is the best prin-
ciple and what the best policy to give
the democratic party new life?'
''As a general proposition | might
answer this question by saying that
ir my opinion this could be most
surely brought about by return to
The genuine democratic doctrine and
a close adherence TO the democratic
policies which in times past gave our
party success and benefited our people.
TO be more specific, | should say
that more than ever at this time the
democratic party should display hon
est and sincere conservatism. a regard
for constitutional limitations and de-
termination not to be swept from our
mOorings by temporary clamor or
spectacular exploitation
Our people need rest, and peace,
and reinsurance. and it will be in line
with true democracy and successful
policy to impress upon our fellow
countrymen the fact that democracy
still stands for those things.
