Collins of Massachusetts, in the chair, and Thomas S. Pettit of Kentucky as} secretary. The proceedings were conducted in secret session. At noon the committee adjourned to meet | again at 1:30 o'clock, after a letter | of notification had been submitted | by Mr. Jacob of Kentucky, accepted by the committee and signed by all present. At 1:30 o'clock the committee, ac- companied by the members of the national democratic committee and the Columbia democratic club, met at the Arlington hotel and, forming into pairs, marched to the White house. They were ushered into the east room and ranged themselves in acircle in the Pantin end, where palms filled all the windows and alcoves and potted plants decorated the mantels. The president was notified of their arrival and descend- | ed to the east room, accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland; the Rev. William N. Cleveland, the president’s brother and his wife of Forestport, N. Y.; Mrs. W. E. Hoyt, the president's sister, of Fayetteville; Mr. and Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. W. S. Bissell of Buffa- lo, all of whom were present at the notification of his first nomination; Mr. Bayard, Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild, Mr. and Mrs. Whitney, Mr. Endicott Mr. Vilas, Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson, Mr. Benjamin Folsom and Speaker Carlisle. Their approach was the signal for a general clapping of hands on the part of the visitors. GENERAL COLLINS SPFAKS. As soon as the party had taken their places General Collins stepped forward and addressed the president as follows: “Mr. Cleveland, we come asa committee authorized and in- structed by the national democratic convention recently held in St. Louis to convey formal notice of its action in naming you for the office of presi- dent of the United States during the next four years. It would ill-become the occasion of your presence to express at length the full meaning and significance of that great as- sembly. Its expression will be found and heard elsewhere and otherwise from now till that day in November when the free and intelligent people will record their approval of your great services as chief magistrate. We beg to congratulate you upon this hearty and unanimous endorse- ment of your course as president, by the great historic party to which, in all the days of your manhood, you have belonged, and congratulate the country upon the assured continu- ance of your wise, just and patriotic administration.” THE OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION. Upon concluding his remarks Mr. Collins introduced Mr. Charles D. Jacob of Kentucky, who read the | following letter of notification: To the Hon. Grover Cleveland of New York. Washington, D. C., June 26.—Sir: The delegates to the national demo- | cratic convention, representing every | Ways onerous, ae belli coisas of | an extraordinarily sensitive, difficult principles of inn democracy for the ted to represent the committee at the | terrupted domination. | restoration to the people of their THE PRFSIDFNT'S ACTS UPHFLD. This exultation is, if possible, added to by the fact that the decla- ration of principles—based upon your last annual message to the con- | gress of the United States relative to a tariff reduction anda diminution | of the expenses of the government— | throws down the direct and defiant | challenge for an exacting scrutiny | of the administration of the execu- tive power which four years ago was committed to its trust by the election ‘ of Grover Cleveland president of the United States, and for the most jwearching inquiry concerning its | fidelity and devotion to the pledges | | which then invited the suffrages of |the people. An engrossed copy of that platform, adopted without a dissenting voice, is herewith tender- ; ed to you: sponsible trust whieh has been con- fided to them this committee beg, individually and _ collectively, to }express the great pleasure which they have felt at the results attend- ing the national convention of the democratic party, and to offer to you ltheir best wishes for official and have the honor, sir, to be your obe- dient servants.” Signed by all the members of the comuiittee. Mr. Thomas Pettit, secretary of the notification committee, then pre- {sented Mr. Cleveland with a hand- somely engrossed copy of the plat- form adopted at the 1 cratic t convention, after which the | president responded as follows: THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE. The president in reply said: “I ean not but be profoundly impressed when I see about me the messengers ? | of the democratic party bearing its summons to duty.

I knew then that abuse and extravagances had crept into the management of public affairs; but I did not know their nu- merous forms, nor the tenacity of their grasp.

I knew too, that the American people were just, but I didnot know how grandly | they loved their country, nor how | noble and generous they were. ALL PAST ACTS FOR GOOD. “I shall not dwell upon the acts and the policy of the administration now drawing to its close. Its record is open to every citizen of the land. And yet I will not be denied the privilege of asserting at this time that in the exercise of the functions of the high trust confided to me, I to the constitution and the solemn obliga- tion of my oath of office. I have done those things which, in the light of the understanding God has given me, seemed most conducive to the welfare of my countrymen and the promotion of good government.

Washington, June 27.—Senator Ingalls is severely censured by his republican associates because of his now famous letter which he wrote to a Kansas friend during the Chica- go convention. The subject was freely discussed in republican circles to-day, and the Kansas senator has come to be evidently disliked by the gentlemen mentioned and also their respective friends. Several of his associates did not hesitate to tell him in plain English what they thought about it and he is consider- ably annoyed at theattitudein which the publication has placed him. He did not hesitate to say that he would cheerfully have given $5,000 rather than that the letter should have been published, and he will not rest easily until he ascertains how it found its way into public print. The general theory is that the recipient of the letter in an unguarded mo- ment produced the letter at Chicago hoping that it might have some effect on the deadlock then existing.

The system of tariff legisla- tion to which the name of “American” was honestly applied was that of which Henry Clay was the chief advocate and in great part the origi- nator. It had for its especial feature a range of duties on foreign imports averaging not over 20 per cent. The present tariff rates average 47 per cent and go as high as 150 per cent. Henry Clay, were ke living and ad- hered to his “American system,” would regard with horror the pres- ent tariff and with contempt the men who maintain and increase it.—New York Times. $500.00 Eward.
