DEMOCRATIC CLUBS MEET.

NEW Y6RK, Oct. 8.—The quadrennial convention of democratic clubs held in the Academy of Musio, though shorn of some of its contemplated features, including the monster street parade, was an enthusiastic and successful gathering. Four thousand badges were Issued to delegates representing every state In the union. This was the seating capacity of the theater, but arrangements were made to throw open Tammany hall, adjoining, for an overflow meeting.

A little before 11 o'clock ex-Lieut. Gov. Chsunoey Fa Bloehrof JPetmsylvaiiia'aiid president ol the association bf-democrat-ie dubs 'Waa'disab ve reT6otaing upon the stage. There was loud oheering, which grew to a roar, when olose behind Mr. Black the figure of Grover Cleveland was reoognlzed. When the tumult had subsided Mr. Black called the convention to order and delivered an address whieh was principally devoted to the tariff and the force bill.

Mr. Cleveland Speaks.

Mr. Black at the conclusion of his speech turned toward Mr. Cleveland, who arose at the moment, and presented him to the audience. When the cheers that greeted him had subsided Mr. Cleveland spoke, after a few preliminary remarks, as follows:

Your meeting Is tie counall of war which preoeeda a decisive battle and your deltboralions should bo the preparation for stormy conflict. All your weapons and sll your equipments are soon to ba tested. You have organized and labored and you have watched and plannod to insure your readiness for the final engagement now near at hand. This then Is ao holiday assemblage, but an impressive oonvooatlon in further anoe of the dee l*ns and purposes for the accomplishment of whtoh you and those you represent are bandsd together. These designs and purpose*, as declared by your association, are: -The preservation of the constitution of tho United States the autonomy of the states the self-gov-ernment and freedom ofeleotlons opposition to the Imposition of tazes beyond the necessities of the government economically administered, and the promotion of economy in all branches of the publlo service. These professions embody the purest patriotism and the loftiest aspirations of Amerloan cltlz.nshlp,.and though at all, times ttoey should suggest to us the'strongest' obligation to political effort, their motive foroe as Incentives to political aotlvlty and watchfulness should be Irresistible at time when the constitution Is held In light esteem as against the accomplishment of selfish purposes, when state boundaries are bardly a barrier to centralized power, and when looal setf-frovernment and freedom of eleotlons are the tcoff of partisanship.

Those who subscribe to the oreed of this association and make any claim te sincerity can hardly exouse themselves for lack of effort at a time when the necessities of the government economically administered have been little regarded la the taxation cf the people, and when extravaganoe in the public servioe has become a contagious plague. To those who hope for better things,'tbls -convention of democratic clubs Is a bright promise of reform. Unorganised good Intentions and Idle patriotlo aspirations cannot successfully contend for mastery with the compact forces of private -Interests and: greed,' nor de that organisation alwuys the most useful which has tkc widest extent The real benefit of political organization is found in its nearness to the people and In the directness of Its aotion. Of course harmony and unity of.ptirpose are abeo,jutely essential., In this you^eesembllng tbgelhoris most important, in so far as It promotes this harmony and ualty by conference and a.oonslderatlon of methods, and In so far as It Inspires that zeal and' enthusiasm whloh will make more effective your work at home. Therefore, I am sure that I can say nothing better in taking my leave of you, than to wish that your convention may be a most profitable andencourl aging one, and that at its conclusion yes may resume your ^places In your home organisations, newly Inspired to determined and zealous .effort, in the oaase of true democracy."

As the ex-president retired to the back of the stagrat the close of his remarks the audience stood up and cheered, the band played "Four Years More of Grover" and Mr. Cleveland withdrew.

Temporary Organization.

The goneral business of the convention was then entered upon. Patrick A. Collins, of Massachusetts, was made temporary chairman. Gen. Collins, on taking the chair, made a brief address, in the course of which he spoke of Mr. Cleveland as the greatest president the country had ever had within living memory and paid tribute to the sturdy merits of Adlai E. Stevenson. He said the democratic party to-day was the party of Cleveland and Stevenson, but it was also the party of Hill and Gray (cheers), of Thurman and Boies (cheers), of Carlisle and Morrison (cheers), all ehiefs worthy to lead the party and all democrats loyal to follow. No man was doing or would do more than Senator Hill (cheers), whose name stood next to Cleveland at Chicago. Sympathy for President and Mrs. Ilarrlson.

A delegate from North Carolina in the body of the hall rose and offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the bhalrman be requested to transmit to the president of the United States the respectful sympathy of the members of the Association of Democratic clubs with him In his days of anxiety, and to express their earnest hope that In the providenoo of God Mrs. Harrison may in His own good time be restored to health."

Litters of regret at their inability-to be^fresent were read from Gen. A. E. Starenson, Hon. W. Springer, Gov. Flower and others, and at 12:10 p. m. llie convention took a recess.

The Resolutions.

When the convention reassembled, shortly after 2 p. m., the temporary officers were made permanent. The resolutions adopted warn the American people of the danger which menaces their common liberties in the manifest purpose of the managers of the monopoly party to debauch the suffrage and to purchase another lease of the presidency and another majority in congress, and ultimately to take permanent possession of the federal government, through the provisions of an unconstitutional and partisan force bill also denounces us un-American

Held at Boston.

BOSTON, Oct 5. Music halt and Faneuil hall were both filled to overflowing Tuesday night when the republicans ratified their state and national nominations with ringing speeches by Hon. Whitelaw Reid, Gov. McICinley, of Ohio Lieut Gov. Iiaile and' Hon. Roger Wolcott, the two latter being the nominees for governor and lieutenant governor respectively.

Mr. Reid, upon taking tiie platform to speak, was given a most flattering reception by the large audience, which was quick to notice the sharp points of his address and bestowed frequent,applause. Mr. Reid forcibly attacked the position held by the democratic party on the issues of the campaign and appealed to the people of Massachusetts to take refuge within the republican stronghold.

In the course of his speech he said: "Mr. Cleveland's letter of acceptance discloses a figuro which our aboriginal friends of the far west would describe as 'BigrMun-Afrald-of-Hls-Piatform,' and the party guzes in perplexity and alarm on a candidate who accepts iu nomination, but has not yet shown either the oandor to accopi or the courage to repudiate its principles. "I mean to Bpcak of Mr. Claveland with that respect whloh all right-thinking American people wish to show for one who has passed our supreme ordeal and been once declared by a majority of Amerlcau votes worthy to be the chief magistrate of this nation. But it oannot be disrespectful, and It is obviously trulbful, to say that Mr. Cleveland now acts toward the platform of his party at If he were afraid that If he should venture to step on It It would break through. He might as well have steppea boldly upon the platform.' It would have looked better and oould not havo resulted worse, for what he does say brings him, whether he likes it or not, straight to the platform's conclusion. "In vnln, after this, does the candidate plead apologetically that his party wages no exterminating war against any American interests. As well might he plead that his party's demand for the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank circulation makes no "threat against the national currency. He Jries to qnlet alarm1 by saying free trade is impossible. Certainly. England says the same thing, and malntalLS moBt rigidly just the sort o? tariff Cleveland's platform demands—a tariff for revenue only. In vain is tho net spread in the sight of any bird. No qualifications or omissions or vague generalities and assurance of harmless Intentions can blind the eyes of the voters to the fact that however much Mr. Cleveland sbay regret It, as an honorable mau he is bound hand and foot to the platform of Ills party at ChicugO,

Just as all the world knows that he is tc-day bound to the car of (triumphant) Tammany of New York."

At the conclusion of Mr. Reid'a speech Gov. McKinley was introduced. He devoted the first part of his address to a discussion of the old state'bank system. The republicun party, h^ said, stands first for the protection and encouragement of American industries, and second' for honest ourrency. He took issue with Mr. Hill on the statement that protection is unconstitutional. Mr: Mc Kinley then passed to a discussion of the tariff, and at the conclusion was followed by Lieut Gov. Halle and Roger Wolcott, who hod just addressed the meeting In Faneuil hall, to which place Messrs. Reid and McKinley were taken after their Music hall speeches. illalue Again to Be Heard.

NEW YORK, Oct. 0.—Mr. Blaine will have something further to say in the campaign. His health will not permit him to take the stump, but he will make public his views in the form of a letter, which will be forthcoming within the next few days. What is said to interest Mr. Blaine particularly Is the oontrast between Cleveland's message of five years ago, in which the latter's tariff position was boldly defined, and the evasive letter of this year, in whloh the free trade plank of the Chicago platform is "interpreted." The attack of the democrats on reolpAtclty is another thing which will engage Mr. Blaine's attention.

Judge Newton Indorsed.

LANSING, Mich., Oct 8.—The democratic state convention held here Tuesday decided to support the nomination of William Newton, of Flint, the people's party candidate for supreme justice. The ballot stood: Newton, 474 Howard, 280.

The convention also nominated John Power, of Escanaba, for elector from the Western district, to succeed Peter White, of Marquette, who is ineligible because of being president of a national bank, and D. E. Hoskins, of Jackson, for member of the state board of ednoatlon in place of James K. Bnrr, of Genesee, who withdrew from the ticket

After Judge Newton was nominated Gov. Winans-telegraphed him at Coruana tendering him the appointment of chief justice to succeed Judge Morse, wlio retires to-dny. Judge Newton replied late Tuesday night declining to accept, for the reason that he oould render the people ho valuable service on the sttpreme bench between now and olcction day, and he preferred to await tbe verdict of the people at the ballot box. The governor has deeided to appoint George H. Durand, of Flint who has signified his willingness to accept. His commission will be issued so that he can preside at to-day's session of the court.
