The outlook for the coining winter among the. poor and bvreaved of Hamburg is very gloomy. The money thus far subscribed for the relief of distress caused by the cholera has already beet entirely spent with very little visible result.

MEW YORK DEMOCRAT& Grover Cleveland's Welcome to Democratic Clubs. Stlrrinr SfWthw and Solid Resolutions Made by Representative Poll, ttclans of the Kmpir* State. There was a great democratic gathering at Madison Square garden. New .York city, on Tuesday, October 4, at the opening of the convention of the National Association of Democratic clubs. Delegates were present from every state and territory in the union, over 4.000 clubs being represented. Ex-President Cleveland was present and made the welcoming address, in which he said: “ Yourmeeting Is the council of war which proceeds a decisive battle and your deliberations should be tbe preparation for stormy conflict All your weapons and all your equipments are soon to be tested. You bare organized and labored and you have watched and planned to insure your reediness for the Anal engagement now near at hand. This then is uo holiday assemblage, but an impressive convocation in further anee of the designs and purposes for the accomplishment of which you and those you represent are banded together. These designs and purposes, as declared by your association, are: The preservation of the constitution of the United States: the autonomy of the states; the self-gov-ernment aad freedom of elections; opposition to the imposition of taxes beyond the necessities of the government economically administered, and the promotion of economy id all branches of the public service. These professions embody the purest patriotism and the loftiest aspirations of American oitizenship,.and though at all times they should suggest to us the strongest obligation to political effort, their,, motive force aa incentives to political activity and watchfulness should he irresistible at a time when tbe constitution is held in light esteem as against the accomplishment o! selfish purposes, when state boundaries are hardly a barrier to centralized power, and when Ideal self-government and freedom of elections are the scoff of partisanship. “Those who subscribe to the creed of this association and make any claim to sincerity can hardly excuse themselves for lack of effort at a time when the necessities of the government economically administered have been little regarded In tbe taxation of the people, and when extravagance in the puttUe service has become a contagious plague. To those who hope for better things, this convention of democratic clubs is a bright promise of reform. Unorganized good intentions and idle patriotic aspirations cannot successfully contend for mastery with the compact forces of private Interests and greed, nor is that organization always the most useful which has the widest extent. The real benefit of political organization Is found in its nearness to the people and in the directness of its action. Of course harmony and unity of purpose are absolutely essential. In this view, your assembling together is most important, in sc far as it promotes Ibis harmony and unity by conference and a consideration of methods, and in so far as Si inspires .that zeal and enthusiasm which 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 and encourt aging one, and that at its conclusion you may resume your places in your home organizations, newly inspired to determined and zealous' effort in the cause of true democracy." Following Mr. Cleveland’s address Gen. Patrick A. Collins, of Massachusetts, temporary chairman of the convention, in reply to the call of the chair Baid:

“This assemblage fitly follows ana supplements the great council of the party which last June in Chicag" proclaimed our principles and named our candidates. There were gathered the leaders of the regular army of the democracy; here ace the captains of the active militia. All of us hare our places, our duties, our responsibilities. All of us are enlisted for life— not merely for the present contest—for the cause of the democracy, the cause of the people. the cause of free and ptae government in this land requires constant watchfulneib and unremitting activity. From what we have done in the past more is looked tor In the future, and in the momentous contest now proceeding. a contest that may decide governmental policy not only for four years, but for a generation, when we separate let each man seek his post, and let that post he in the forefront of the democratic line of battle. “Our grand old party is a unit in this campaign. On the 2ist of June we had many candidates. On the 33d we had but one. The seven millions of democrats and the thoughtful, independent voters of the republic support that nomination, for they see in his election the return cf good government in the land, the end of the war and war taxes. “We are proud of our great chief, the honest, sturdy, fearless, clear-sighted patriot, Grover Cleveland. Absolutely the best president the country has had within the memory of living man. We are proud of his colleague, Adiai E. Stevenson, the eloquent and forceful, highminded, true disciple of Thomas Jefferson. Tha democratic party of to-day Is the party of Cleveland and Stevenson, but it is also the party of Hill and Gray, of Thurman and Boies, of Carlisle and Morrison, of Palmer and Bussell—all chiefs worthy to lead, and all democrats loyally willing to follow. No man among us all has done or is doing—or indeed can do—service equal to that of Senator Hill, whose name stood next on the list to that of Mr. Cleveland at Chicago. No man needs to plead with demoerets for an honest recognition and a grateful remembrance of that service. His work In this canvass could a o'., be other than effectual—perhaps the vital, necessary work of the year—because above all other men he knows the people of this great state and -they know and believe in aim There never was a question in the minds of genuine democrats as to where he stood or where any democrat stood when the Chicago convention had spoken. A warmed-over whig •r galvanized federalist, who calls himself for a time a democrat, may run away and vote for the party of centralisation, force bills, monopoly anu plunder simply because their particular man'was not nominated, but a democrat never will. . . , , “Lmog before the Chicago convention, indeed so long before as tho first session of congress after Harri ion’s inauguration, the country showed sharp signs of regret for the result of the election in 1888. It saw that congress, elected on no such issue, proceed to pass a force bill, by which federal officers, partisans and hirelings, adventurers and desperadoes would determine, until a revolution came, who should hold efflees in this country. It meant the beginning of the end of free government in the United States. “The people saw that congress—that was elected upon no such issue—exset a tariff law for the sole benefit of monopolists who contributed to corruption fund that bought the party into power. They saw personal liberty, home rulo, the promise of lower taxes, and a stable currency sacrificed recklessly and ruthlessly, domestic peace disturbed, the treasury surplus squandered, a deficit threatened and a panic hover over every merchant's desk. The longing eyes of a defrauded people turned to the democratic party for rescue and relief, and in 1880 made a protest so emphatic against tha republican policy and methods that the democratic majority in the house of representatives almost took men’s breath away. "Every wave of that protest hero Cleveland’s name. Poetio iustioe made a portnersnip with -nod politics. It seemed as* the wrong of 1888 mid not be fully righted without the man.

Harrison may, in Bis own be restored to health. This was < by a North Carolina delegate and wan carried unanimously. During the business of the i _ there was read a communication from Margaret Uoey, secretary of the Worn* an’s Influence Democratic club, an* nouncisg that over one hundred woman's influence clubs throughout the country hare been organised. Martin J. McGinnis, of Montana, offered the following resolutions, which were adopted: 1. The delegates from the democratic societies, representing democratic associations la evert state, territory and the District of Columbia, in national eonrenUon assembled, do unanimously reaffirm the platform of principles adopted by the democratic national conventisa at Chicago, June Si, 18#S, and cordially indorae the candidates there nominated. £. In accordance with its constitution the National Association of Democratic clubs will cooperate with the national democratic committee in securing the election of Cleveland and Stevenson and the triumphant vindication of democratic principles in the pending campaign, and urges the organisation of democratic dubs, affiliated with this association, is every voting district of the union, as tbs surest method of accomplishing these results. X We 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, designed by corrupt and unscrupulous conspirators, and indorsed by Benjamin Harrison and a so-called republican convention of officeholders and monopolists. 4. We denounce as un-American and unconstitutional the pillage of the people for the benefit of the tew by the unjust tax laws; the squandering of the people's money in profligate expenditure in subsidies and in jobs, and demand a return to lower and more equal taxation, more frugal expenditures, and purer government, which can be accomplished only by the election of Cleveland and Stevenson. Resolved, That the thanks of this convention are tendered to the democratic club of New York and Kings county, to their general and subcommittee for the generous reception and entertainment extended to this convention and the delegation thereto._ PECK BACKERS. Republican Organs Trying to Coaeeol the Truth. In a half-hearted way republican organs are defending Mr. Peck and bia action in destroying the records of his office. The New York Press asserts that “if Mr. Peck bad allowed the mugwump ‘investigators’ fall access to his private memoranda from which bis report was compiled his action would assuredly not have resulted in the further enlightenment of the public.” The Press says that the object of the mugwumps was to conceal the facta and the distortion of the truth. Such arguments reveal the desperate straits to which supporters of the fraud of republican protection have been reduced. If the documents Mr. Peck feloniously destroyed had contained anything that might have been twisted to support the ridiculous conclusions he drew from them, if they had not contained indisputable proof that he had lied infamously regarding the condition of laboring men ■ York state. Mr. Peck would never have resorted to the trick of burning public

property lor purposes oi concealment. The committee called upon Mr. Peck for these documents. Even while protesting' that he had the dbcumeuts he knew they were being burned surreptitiously by his own order. Men who have documents upon which they can rely for sustaining their position do not burn them. It has never been laid at the door of men who honestly exhibited the basis of their arguments and conclusions that they were guilty of suppressing .evidence. But this is the charge of the New York Press against a committee seeking opportuhif. ty of proving from Commissioner Peck’s documents that his statements had been garbled for ulterior purposes. Republican organs may seek to avoid the consequences of the unlawful act committed by their tool and agent, hut they will not convince intelligent readers that Peck’s act was not a clear confession of his fraud. Nor will they humbug anyone with the silly claim that men seeking the burnt documents were trying to conceal the truth.— Chicago Times._ 4 An Explanation Needed. The lessening volume of our agricultural exports requires an explanation from McKinley. The August return* show a diminution in experts of breadstuffs of *7,750,000, as compared with the same month last year. Moreover, the price of wheat averaged in August of this year only 84 cents a bushel, as against 100 in August, 1891. Now, McKinley has assured the farmers of the west that their great sales and high prices of last year were directly due to his benign methods of taxing money out of the foreigner’s pockets and into theirs. But his law is still in foroe, and the question arises why it does not continue to perform its beneficent functions. We hope it will not be answered that better harvests in Europe have slackened the demand, for that would seem to imply that the McKinley bill does not, as claimed for it, override all natural laws, and would also call to mind the fact that last year there was an extraordinary European demand for our agricultural products This would have fallen out to the profit of the western farmer in any case.—N. Y. Post. / •t -Secretary Elkins has taken the .tump for Mr. Harrison, and it is anlounced that the other cabinet officers, vith the exceigion of Attorney General diller, will probably follow suit.
