J# demoocratic prinel GHOST - DANCING. IROQUOIS Gnihoring of the Tribs Around the Banquet Board at Ohicago. POLITICAL ISSUES WARMLY DISCUSSED Governor Boyd Preaches Democratic T trine—Other Distinguished Orators Hold Forth—Cleveland's N. thusiasm —Politieal o Aronses En- pinters from Cricaao, T, April 2.—National politics is twhat seems to be in the air tonight at the Iriquois c!lub. The chair of the democratic contral committees of eight contiguous wost orn states do net ofton get together atthe opening of a presidential campaign without the evont possessing special significance, evon at such important gatherings politically ann socially, as the Iriquols banquots have invariably proven in the past. Tonight not only were tho eight moguls ndicated present, but among the 300 other guests wero such distinguished democratic louders and party aposties as Governor Boyad of Nobraska, Governor I’eck of Wis- consin, ex-Postmaster General Dickinson of Michigan, Hon. Snerman Hoar of Massachu- setts, Governor Winans of Michigan, Hoo. John Dewitt Warner of New York, and Editor 8. K. Morse of the Indianapoli u- tinel. Tho first great outburst of applause came atafervid reference to Groyer Cleveland near the end of the address by the first spoaker, Hon. W. C. Ewing of Chicago, who wound up his remarks with an exultant postic outbreak to the effect that ‘“Ten thou- sand times 10,000 men shall name him— Clevelana,” Don Dickinson’s Remarks, ‘When the wildly enthusiastic hurrah that reeted this ebullition subsided, the bewhis- erod but finely chiseled profile of Don M. Dickinson loomed into view. He was at once pointed out by tho now exuberant Iri- quois club men to one another as “‘Girover's Berlonll reprosentative, you know.” Mr. ickinson bore himself with much dignity, and whether or not his speech was 1uspired by the ex-president the latter's former cabi- net collengue seemed to feel the importance of the message ho was about to deliver. Ho began by culogizing the valuo of party dis- cipline and the necessity for yielding to the decisions of tho party’s accrodited represen- tativo in caucus. hen (said r o onvention lus chosen or noy oice should have tho suy . includi those who muy think that w mistake hus been made in the ‘cholce, whether the cuucus or convontion be nutlonal, state. county or ward. But a caucus to commund this loyalty must bo a democrati eaucus in tho broades resting its authority upon the masses, fairly and sensonably summoned with full oppor- Lunity for populor participaion in s defiber- ations nnd *conclusions. There must be no controlling trickery, no terrorizing to prevont attendance, 1o taint of cor- Tuption of fraud, and no weil grounded doubt of' 'n falr count. suMcient to impair confidence. Whether from elections or conventions. no result can come which Is en- titlea to respoct or obedience which s gained Dy a perversion of the popular will by throt- tling of the people's vo ce or by thimble-rig- ging with bailots, Politioul larcony caunot ho made zood demoeratic polley because of any number of republican precedents, nor can the garb bo made decent by Jubolling it re ‘:llation.

Guveraor Boyd of Nebraska spoke as fol- w lows ndamental Democracy. Mr. Chalrinan wna Gentlamen: From 1801 tho viows of Mr. Jefferson were curried into public administration; for ninety years of volitical contontion his procepts have formod the codo nnd spirit of tho democratic party. In thelr upplication to the varying condlition of the country they have boen found to ans- ~,wer with cqual certainty to the humanities, To war to cotimerce and in diplomacys his axims have met every cmergeucy In urgu- ‘ment und have founded a politieal” party not ngw to be withstood. The democratic party could not have lived through the storms of “great pubiic questions for throe-quarters of n century unless tho _-foundnlions upon which 1t had boen built wero sunk deop {nto the heurts und best juc g- mentsof men. A party could not hive kept ythus consistently together, pronounced Its opinlons upon the evi's of the body politic, hold up a warning band ugainst corruption and national degeneracy. and finully swept away the stupendous oppositiin in 1888 nnd" 1800 unless the clear light of its dootrines were generated from that waite fire of truth which nothing can ever extinguish or destroy. H Republicanism in the West. Ono chiof renson of the continued suprom- acy of the republican party in my sta' e, and In'most of the western states, may be found in the statistics of Immigration. As » gencral rule, every immigrant landing upon our hores Is Instinctively impelled to act with the dominant governinz party: his means ot knowledge respecting our political systems xre monger and deflolent; 50 that., foflowinz the instiact of his nature, he ullies himselt With the party of present’ success; thinking the while that success meuns sufeLy.

Editor Mores of Indianapolis responded to tho toast “‘Grover Cleveland.” He said: “lhe Mun of Destiny." Mr. Chalrman: — Belng a democrat who be« loves in und loves his party I onor Grover « Cloveland because no man of this zeneration hasmore faithfully or courageously ples or done 50 ‘m commend the demoeratic party to th . flaence of the country.

He be- licves that “party honesty IS party duty, and party couraxo is party expedioncy,” I find nothing in Mr. Oleveland's courage or his candor. nothing In his oinions and noth- ing in his methods, in the siighest degreo in- consistent with honorablo party loyaity, or with wbeliof n_ the necessity and officacy of varty organization. Confidence of the People, Tho people bave found him a brave and able arty leader. Thoy know that ho has reu- dered public services of surpassing import- 4nco: that-he has aroused the American peo ple to a sense of public evils too long toler- oted, to the discharge of civie duties too lon neglected. and to the recoznition of fu mental principles too long icnored. y know that he has raised the standard of polit- ical conduet. They know that ho has achieved the hatred of overy political trickstor and lioves that public purpose: noecessities of govee huckster, of cvery public jobber und robber, ' of every man in ull the land ' who is licensed by unjust laws to prey upon tho people’s substunce. They know that ho has holped establish an ideal us reiates to polities and party manave- ment. I believe that the quick and hearty response of the Amerioan people to Mr. Clove- land's appeuis to their better instinets shows the great heart of the body politic Is ro stowly but sureiy coming mosphere, and that no party poliey can long prevail which hus not in it an onest purpose. Beaten by Treachery, I know we may be reminded that Mr fevelund was defeated for re-eloction upon C the issue he himsolf hud rajsed. But I rezurd thut defeat, after h's candid unnouncement of his convittions upon a v.tal public question, us tno groatest victory of his life. Butif there aro those who believe otherwise, I would point them to thegreat popular plurality re- cewved by Mr. Cleveland in 1833; to_the faet that be fost the elcetoral votes of New York and Tudfana and the presidency. only by fraud and treachery; to the ovorwhein 1ph of his ideas in the elections of 18! facts before him, who wou'd ven the word “falfure” opposite the name -6t Cloveland?

L, April 2.—The pohitical temperature of Rhode Island is at fever heat tonight. Both parties profess great confi- denve. There have beon railies in every ball available, and unlimited enthusiasm. The democratic campaign reached its climax today in ex-President Cleveland's speech and raception. Mr. Cleveland was greeted on his arrival with such a demonstration as Providence has seldom given any public man, Half an hour peforo the time his train was due, the station and streets leading to the opera house were crowded with thou- sands of psople, and the numbers did not diminish, althougb the train was over an hour late. 1t was duo at 3:15, but it was 4:20 when te engine drew up at the Savin street crossing, bolow the station, aod the ex-president alighted with ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney, Governor James E. Campbell. of Ohio and Congressman Oscar Lapham. - John A, Me- Call of New York and Mv. Evans of Phila- phis, frionds of ex-Governor Campbell, were also of the party. They were unable thus to escape the crowd, which olosed +*)» und the carriages which were driven up town and shovted and cbeered for Cleveland. The party-was driven rapidly to the opera house through o mass of peopie who blocked the streata and followed them. The overa house packed shortly after 8 o'clock, and all state didates and almost all the leading democrats in the state were on the platform. Several sbort spoeches were made before ex-President Cleveland ar- rived. Congressman William Mcadoo of New Jersey was speaking when Mr. Cleve- land came in, and his entrance was the sig- nal for a burst of enthusiastic cneering. After silence had been secured Chalrman Fravklin P, Owen of the democratic central committee introduced Hon, W. Ward- woll of Bristol, candidate for goveruor, to preside, Ho presented Mr. Clevelaud as the next president, and again there was wild ap- rnmu and waving of handbserchiefs by the avies 1o the boxes. Mr. Clevelaud's Tarkl Tulk, Mr, Cleveland devoted his entire speech to the question of the tarif. He did not refer to tho silvor issue. His speoch was a de- fense of the tarift policy of the democratic party in late years and ap appeal for its con- Mn‘:‘llllc& 1n the course of bis remarks he said: Those who belleve In tarll reform for the substantial good it will bring to the wultitude who are noxiected wheu selfish greed is in endancy; thoso who beliove that the e mative of our government is Lo do canal und oxact Justive W all our peopie. and grant o fo Reception i wlord to diseal who would suve our lustitul undermining decay of sordiduess and solfish- noss oan hardly excuse themselves if they fail to join us 1o the crusnde we have under- taken, “Certalnly our siucerity csanuot be questioued. 0 Lue bogianing of the struggle we were uot only “Bittesly opposod by a zreat party ot | uvowed enemles, bul were embarrassea hy | those In our own ranks who hnd Lecomo in- | focted with the unwholesoue atmosphere our We hesitated not & mo- We unificd od. \counter both, ANY SUrr bers. but encniies had cr ment bolaly to OUF party. not b hoarted among our mo: b Fatle ever lowernd our Was not policy or exped nitoly Lo G s wo wont for and desperatel in the disastrous ield of 1588, A time-serving cdiency hunting party wonld hardly today after such crushing ant_and determined, and anxious 1o lo's ur Still Champloning the Cause, We had not long to walt.

Mr. Cloveland spoko half an hour in a loud and olear tone ana was listened to with closd attention, each paragraph bpimg greetod with a round of applause: His first. roference to tarfl reforim was tho signal for a burst of choers. There was another when reforring to the same subject ho said: **We bave nover lowered our standard,” and a voice shouted, “and nover will.' In the noxt five minutes he wns intorruptod again and acain with applanse and cheering. Tho audience was evidently thoroughly in sympathy with the speaker throughout his discussion on the turiff and tho wit and sarcasm which appeared here and there mot in- stant and _ hoarty response 1n aughter and clapping. The ~ speakers comparisou of tariff reform with the com- mundments, called forth applause and cheers which lasted fully a minute and was re- newed ngain and again, AL the olose of his spooch he was grected with prolonged ap- plause. Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohlo Ex-Governor James . Campbell of Obio, followed and opened by referring to the action of republicans in scizing the Marge halls in Providence and preventing the domocrats from using them. He then took up aud answered the New York newn{mpor ceritl- cisms of his recent speechos at_Lincoln and Providence. His blood boiled, he continued, when he beard the democratic candidate for lieutenant governor _describe. the out- rages upon the foreign *born citizens, and he denounced as infaraous that form of government founded on anything less thin manhooa government. Ie nad said he did not see how & foreign born Gitizen, or a poor man, could vote the republicun ticket in Rhode Istand, and, quoting from a paper, continued: “This 18 the reply: ‘Ihere are few really poor men in Rhode Istand. "here aro in the savings banks of tho state $17 for every man, woman and child there.’ Some of you would bs glad to know in which particular bank vours is. I never heard a republican | speaker address an Irish audience without shedding barrels of tears over the evictions in Ireland, but I never heard one muke the true statement that there aro every yoar in New York city, more evictions for rent than in the whole Emerald isie.” Tho speaker then road a description by Mr. T. V. Powderly of the condition of labor- ers in tho Connelisville coke region to show there was not universal prosperity under high tarift. “When my friend, Major Mc- Kinley, replies to me at long range tonight [ waat bim to tell how many times Carnegie, Phitpps & Co. went_ into their pockets to contribute to my defeat, and whether that mouey was not taken out of their men. Today's papers say Carnegie is ready for an other sliding scale. Ho must have beeu con- tributing to this election,” He spoko of the closing of the oat meal mill at Ravenna, O., as the resuit of a trust fostered by the McKinley vill, and said he had prophesied it five months ago. His closing point was with reference to the offect of an increase in tariff upon wages and he argued -to show that the tariff had not only not increased wages, but ‘had reduced them. ? Ex-Governor Campbell's. speach was re- ceived sympathetically, but without lgud demonstration, His witty manner Look with the audisnce and he was several times 1nter- rupted with laughter. At the close of the speech the meeting was adjourned. Ex-President Cleveland was.again cheered when he reached the streot.

Albany county is stromyly Claveland and Senator Hill has made - several attempts to wrest the control of its public affaies from the Clovoland mon. Allof these have failed. The Cloveland men havo two measures pending 1n the logislature, By ditection of Boss Bdward Murphy fhese were tied up, one in the senate and the other in tha assem- bly. Tho Albany memhers in both houses became anery and made threats openly. Mattors grow so serious that Mr. Hill was summoned hero lasy Friday night. Ho loft again Tuesday, He could do nothing with the Albany men, and they gave him warning to tako his hauds off their measures by Tues- day night. The “republicans took advantago of tho situation, and yesterday in the assembly settied upon tho excise bill as tho vehbiclo with which to disorganize the democrats. The bill was partially considored, amid much confusion, and was thon sent back to com- mittee, which virtually kills it. The threo Albany democrats with two anti-Tammany democrats voted with the republicans In the senate the Cohoes election inspect- or’s bill was selected for the attack. Threo flemocrats voted with the republicans dur. ug the consideration of the question. Sena- tor Hogan, who acted as Hill's sponsor throughout, moved to adjourn, and without putting the question Lieutenant Governor Sheehan deciared the senste adjourned. The democrats feel very sore tonight. L SouTH OMAHA.
