TAMMANY’S BIG CELEBRATION Politicians in the Wigwam Observe the Day with Speeches and Music. GLEVELAND SENDS REGRETS. Bays Demooracy’s Peril Lies in Reoklessness of Selfish and Insidious Appeals. EX-GOV. FLOWER RAPS STRONG. ys the Mayor Has Mis- taken the Meaning of Non-Partisanship. Through the open windows of the Tammany Hall Wigwam, in Fourteenth atrect, this morning the strains of old- time patriotic songs floated out into the street and awoke the echoes of the holiday quiet. A great crowd of men and boys clustered in front of the hall, and an endless string of well-groomed and prosperous men, whose personality bore the stamp of political experience, climbed the broad stairway and gathered in the lower council-room, where the “Larry” Delmour “Steering Committee” has been deciding the fate and future of the political branch of the Wigwam for several weeks, But there was no politics in the gath- ering to-day. District leaders and pre- cinct captains met the real bosses with scarcely a reference to “deals,” major- ities and offers to wager. The spirit of; patriotism usurped the place of the spirit of party fealty that usually sways the followers of Tammany. Fiaga Instead of Political Banners, Instead of election banners, the flag of the people fluttered everywhere, and the long red badges worn by every one of the 2,000 men that gathered in the great Wigwam bore the legend of the Tam- many or Columbian Order, and the In- dependence celebration which the fol- lowers of the Society had gathered to observe. ‘The celebration was quite as enthu- jastic as any that preceded it, but some of the most famous members were absent for the first time in ten years. Mr. Richard Croker, the biggest man in the Wigwam, was away. So x Congressman W, Bourke Cockran, usu- ally the star orator at these celebra- tions, Ex-Mayor Grant was a third note able who was absent. All the leading members of Tammany. & who are in town were there, however, ‘and,also a lot of Democrats who differ with Tammany in local politics, Grand Sachem Frederick Smyth, gay in the Tegalla of the Order, presided, and in opening the meeting directed the read- ing of letters from famous men who did not come, This etter was received from President Cleveland: President Cleveland's Letter, GRAY GABLES, June 28, 1895, Hon, Frederick Smyth, Grand Sachem, &e, Dear Sir: T regret that I cannot ac- cept the invitation I have received from the Tammany Society to participate in its celebration of the one hundred and nineteenth anniversary of American in- dependence, ‘The patriotism and devotion of thoxe who fought for our liberties and estab- lished our free government, ought always be held in grateful remembrance, and neither lapse of years nor changed con- ditions should ever detract from the gest and enthusiasm of their commem- oration. The thought must not escape us, how- ever, that white every anniversary of American Independence reminds us of the stern sacrifices of the Fathers of the Republic, and while on such occa- sions we find abundant cause for re- joicing in the splendor of their achteve- ments, we should not fal to be seriou ly impressed by a proper apprehension of the duties and responsibilities we have as their successors and legatees. It was their lot to endure the rigors and hardships of a discouraging war, in order that a government by the peo- ple might be established, We cannot without wicked recreancy Gisregard the lessons taught by their sufferings, nor can we without disgrace neglect the duty of preserving and maintaining in thoir integrity and strength the free institutions born of their heroism. Their work done through priva- ticn and in the midst of doubt and gloom, Our duty can be well performed if we are simply honest, intelligent and patriotic, They found their danger on battle- fields and in the uncertain issue of an armed contest. Our danger 1s found in the recklet ness of selfishness and in insidious ap- peals to popular passion and thought- lessness , Brosperity. I earn cal field and, amid present perplexities, to teach by example and declaration the potency of adherence to sound and consistent principles, and the safety of @ reliance upon the honor and patriot- jam of our countrymen when impending them to activity.

I remain, most respectfully, (Signed.) DAVID B, HILL, Flower Scores Strong. Ex-Gov. Flower wrote from Water- town, in part, as follow Since Tammany Society met to celebrate in- dependence Day @ year ago, the principle of non- partisanship, #0 called in munictpal governm bas formed the chief isaue in the municipal cam- paign {a New York, and Its advocates trlumphed use they were able to persuade the peop! that partisanship Is Inconsistent with good gov- ernment. But the administration which came Into power aa the result of the campaign upon that tscue has not succeeded in convincing the people of New York that ‘non-partisanship,”” such aa they have witnessed during the last alx months, ts the thing most to be desired in city government. Tam not disposed to withhold from Mayor Strong all the credit he deserves for many of his acte and his appolntments, but as regards “‘non-partiaanahip"” administration, T think most citizens will agree that he bas elther mistaken the meaning of the platform upon which he was elected or that genuine non-partisanship in city government 18 not attainable. Coudert on Money. Frederic R. Coudert wrote In part: I know of no subject upon which we ought to feel more earnest, both as Democrats and as citi- gens, than that of the currency. It stands out as the one great topic to which our people should devote thelr attention, and your Soclety may do much to keep the Democratic party united In the advocacy of an honest and aniform curren; ‘There should bo no uncertain note In the pression of Democratic opinion from all parts of {the country when our brethren meet in patriotic epirit om that great day. No more fatal blow can be dealt # our National bonor and therefore ‘at our prosperity than such a debasement of our National money as would cut us off from free intoreourse on equal terma with the reat of the world and subject our promises to the sain of a suspicion, Sound money, real money, the best money ts the only money that our Interest and honor can tolerate, “The Hard or Protest," sald Thomas H, Benton, when he presented his check at the desk of the United States Bank. No Interior currency would satisty him and none should eatiaty us, Fiction and reality cannot be harnessed together and expected to do good work. The golden coin Will not associate on equal terma with Its poor relation, even though the latter may plead {llus: trious lineage, great service and fine traditions. merit but no courage. Its capacity for Might and ite ability to a hiding place border on the marvellous. Whether the good sense of mankind may not for wise purposes adjuat the relation of the two metalx so that they may har- moniously answer the purposes of commerce is not the question for us to-day. We have escaped great danger, thanks to the wisdom and foresight of our Democratic President. But the safety of our country should not be left to depend upon any one man or any one body of men, Our tenure of prosperity will never be permanent except when it reste upoo the patrigtiom of our whole people.
