A premature discussion is being started as to whether those who voted for Haskell at the last State election will be allowed to vote in the Democratic primaries and conventions next year. . We confess ? our fear is that a good many of them will not offer to continue with the party, if we remember aright those who strayed off after the Greenback candidates a few years ago were welcomed back into the fold on their promise to support the nominees and the same rule,ought to apply to the Independents of the last campaign.

A few minutes later be saw the boy make a plunge toward the surface of the water, and when ha appeared again be held in his hand a good sized trout.

At 7.30 o'clock May 12, Cleveland was escorted from the Hotel. Iriqouis close to the club house, Buffalo, and; the formal exercises soon thereafter began. It was crowded almost to suffocation '/with members of the club, as was also the adjoining rooms and the broad staircase. Cleveland was greeted by the wildest cheering, long continued and often repeated. ? He .spoke as follows: 1 - Mr. President and gentleman: - As t I stand for first tinae face ^ to face with the Cleveland Democracy, t I experience mingled emotjgw of re- i sponsibility and pride. JwCense. of i responsibility arises fi^Fmy relation rl to your organization as its Godfatherf 3 and my pride from the noble maimer j in which yon have borne my name. $ I acknowledge your right to require 1 of me at this time an account of the s manner, in which I have kept the po- 1 iitical faith to which you^re devoted, j This right grows out of the fact that a the word "Democracy," as it Stands i in the name of your organization, 1 means so much and is so worth^your j[*' ' ; - ' ^ v vr'- i' " v care, that its significance should not ? in the least be clouded by any prefix 1 which is'not in keeping mth Demo PUTTING BELIEF INTO PRACTICE. s. * You are not content to allow these truths to remain with you as mere idle beliefs. They supplied constant . and aggressive motives for your politcal activity and were your inspiration as you went forth to do battle in the Democratic cause?resting your hope of triumph upon an unwavering faith in the thoughtful and well informed intelligence of the American people. - r Thus you were found doing valiant service in the campaign of education. As the smoke of the last stubbornly . fought battle cleared away, no soldiers on the field ^were found surrounded by more tropies of victory | ' than the forces of the Cleveland De1 mocracy. Surely your rewards are anost > abundant.' You have not only aided 5 in the advancement of the Demo> cratic standard, but you have also contributed your full share in demon" strating that the people can be trusted when aroused to thoughtfulr ness and duty. When I suggest to you that much sturdy fighting still awaits all those e enlisted in the Democratic ranks, I f feel that I am speaking to veterans ^ who have no fear of hard campaign13 ing.
