Biff Democratic Demonstration at Colambus—Gov. Cleveland Writes a Letter. [Columbus (Ohio) telegram.] This ha s been a field day for the Democracy of this city and-ad joining cities and towns within a radius of 150 miles. Tee weather has been all that could have been asked for, clear, cool, and pleasant. The Democratic clubs from adi joining cities and towns commenced arriving , early tins morning by special trains, and con- \ tinned to pour in all day. . Never in the history of the Democratic partv has there been such an i outpouring as witnessed to-day. The Democrats have been planning and preparing for this demonstration for over a month, and its magnitude has even surprised its originators. Four speaking stands were put up in the State House yard, with arched gas-jeta. to accommodate the crowds. A large meeting was held this afternoon at Comstock s Ot era House, addressed by Senator Bayard, of Delaware, who was introduced by Allen G. Thurman in a neat and complimentary speech. Senator Bayard referred to the time tue party was rn such a small minority in the Senate, and if it had worked together would have succeeded in getting a good government. He believed one-half of the Republicans did not believe Hayes and Wheeler were elected. He traced the workingsaof the Republican party for the last twenty-four years and in the convention, showing that Blaine’s nomination was a national and logical outcome ot it; he said the candidates were types of the party; he referred to Carl Schurz in a complimentary manner; cla med that the use of public power was everywhere prevalent; he claimed that the great leagues were working with the backing of monopolies f«r Blaine, but with the uprising of the masses he believed the Demociatic principles would succeed. Gov. Hendricks arrived at the opera-house about 5 p. m. and received a perfect ovation. He returned thanks in a very graceful manner, accepting it as a party compliment on acconnt of the principles he represented. He said he had witnessed great demonstrations all along the line of his route between Indianapolis and Columbus, and claimed both Indiana and Ohio confidently for the Democrats. Letters ■ were read from Gen, Breckenridge, E. K. Apgar, Stilson Hutchins, and others. In the evening the following distinguished and well-known Democratic orators ana leaders spoke: Governor Thomas A. Hendricks, Governor Robert M. JlcLane*George H. Pendleton, John A. McMahon, G. H. Bargar, Speaker John G. Carlisle, Gen. Charles H. Mansur, Gen. Durbin Ward, D. S. Gooding, Gen. E. B. Finley, Thomas F. Bayard, and others. The procession moved promptly at eight o’clock, and High street, for over two miles, was one mass of banners and blazing torches. Gov. Hendricks’ speech was in substance about the same as delivered heretofore. He dwelt quite lreely on the necessity of a change in the administration of public affairs. He was listened to by a large audience, as were all the other speakers. The lollowing letter was received and read from Gov. Cleveland: Executive Mansion, Albany, Sept. 21, 1884. My Dear Sir : 1 very much regret that the pressure of official duties will prevent my joining you at the meeting to be held at Columbus on the 25th inst. I hope the meeting will be a complete success, and that it will be the means o* increasing the enthusiasm already aroused for the cause of good government. I believe that the voters of the country are fully alive to the necessity of installing an administration of public affairs which shall be truly their own, not only beoause It is the result of their choice, but because its selected instrumentalities are directly from the body of the people, and impressed with the people’s thoughts and sentiment. They are tired, I think, of a rule so long continued that it has bred and fostered a class standing between them and their political action, and whose interests in affairs end with partisan zeal and the advancement of personal advantage. Let me remind the people that if they seek to make their public servants feel their direct responsibility to them, and careful of their interests, their objects will not be accomplished by a blind adherence to a party which has grown arrogant with long continued power. Let us impress upon the people that the issue involved in the pending canvass is the establishment of a puFe and honest administration of their Government. Let us show them the way to this and warn them against any cunningly designed effort to lead them into other paths of irrelevant discussion. With these considerations before them, and with an earnest presentation Of our claims to the confidence of the people and of their responsibility, we need not tear the result of their intelligent action. Yours very truly, _ d Grover Cleveland. To Allen’ G. Thurman.

BUTLER.

He Talks to the Farmers of the Granite State. [Plymouth (N. H.) dispatch.] The feature of the third day of the Grafton County fair was the presence of Gen. Butler. Ho was accompanied by Moody Merrill, a stockholder of the a-sociation, who, in the absence of the President, introduced Butler to the large gathering. Butler apologized for his hoarseness, and said he supposed his hearers were of mixed politics—very much so—therefore his remarks would be somewhat mixed, hitting all alike. The Democrats want to get into power where they,, can be tempted, but they would do no better than the Republicans. All we desire is for the producers to enjoy the fruits of their labors. If the Government will give the laboring-man a fair chance he would be satisfied. He did not leave the Chicago Convention because he was not nominated, for his name was not presented. He did not let it go in, as he did not wish to be bound. Had he desired it would have been presented. Democratic free-trade orators say the tariff makes you pay too much for everything. What is the tariff! It is a toll. Ignorant Democratic orators talk sometimes as if it was something to eat. [Applause.] Gen. Butler considered the railroad rates, and said: “The Legislature is owned by the railroads, and the remedy lies in sending men to the Legislature who cannot be corrupted. The Republican party had a grand record. The Democratic party had a grand old record under Jackson, but Jackson has been dead these forty years, and he left no children. But you must look out and think and act for yourselves.” [A voice—‘How would it do to vote for St. John?”] The General replied: “If inclined to drink too much whisky you had better do it [Applause.] If you do not think for yourself it means revolution, and revolution means the bullet.’’Gen. Butler was heartily cheered at the close of his speech.

LOGAN.

He Invades West Virginia—Big Meeting at Wheeling. [Wheeling (W. Va.) telegram.] This morning the residence of John Frew, editor of the Intelligencer , was thronged with citizens who wished to greet and welcome -Gen. Torrence, Gen. Logan, W. D. Kelley, and others. The senior class of Washington and Jefferson College, Blaine’s alma mater, was presented to Gen. Logan and he expressed great pleasure in seeing them. At 2 o’clock the procession vi as formed. Gen. Logan entered his carriage, and with Congressman Goff, Powell Clayton, W. P. Hubbard, and other members of the State committee in carriages, joined the procession and proceeded to the State Fair grounds on the island. Gen. Logan was introduced and made the longest speech of his trip, of more than an hour’s length. He was followed by Powell Clayton, Col. Anderson of Ohio, and Gen. Goff of West Virginia. Gen. Torrence did not speak. The procession to-night was much larger than to-day, and was reviewed by Gen. Logan and Gen. Torrence. The fireworks were magnificent. W. D. Kelley addressed the Republicans on the tariff at the Opera House.

POLITICAL NOTES.

John Kelly declines to be a candidate for the Tammany nomination for Mayor of New York.

Editor McCune, of the Buffalo Courier , has made a wager of SI,OOO with Col. Hooker, Vermont member of the National Republican Committee, that Cleveland carries New York. He also bets Hooker SIOO that Vermont does not give Blaine 24,000 majority. Gen. Butler proposes to make fifty set speeches in New York.
