MRS, CLEVELAND AT A BALL.
Mrs. Cleveland came over yesterday at
the invitation cf the manager* of the
eleventh annual charity ball, and last night
she walked at the head of the procession
w hich opened the ball, having for her escort
William P. Pepper, chairman of the execu
tive committee. The strength of her hold
upon the popular admiration was
again strikingly ma .ifeet, and the managers
of the ball s v that it was owing very much
to her presence that the ball of last night
•was the ino3t successful of the whole suc
cessful chain, and t at the four insrituti ms
for whose benefit the hall was given will
divide among them #9,000 or $ 10,000. Mrs.
Cleveland did not dance, out promenaded a
great deal and held impromptu receptions
wherever sue rested.
THE BANQUET.
The feature of the celebration of "Jack
son day” in 'his city was the banquet at the
Young Men’s Democratic Ass >c.ation at
the Academy of Music, wnich was the
greatest a;fa r of its kind ever held in this
city. Ex-Presideit Grover Clevela and was
the guest of the evening, and the enthusi
asm evoked by his appearance wis unex
ampled. The banquet began a* 7 o’clock,
and covers were laid for over 600 diners.
Prominent democrats fr in all parts of t ie
state and country occupied seats at the
table.
CLEVELAND HOLDS A RECEPTION.
Previous to his appearance at the
academy, Mr. Cleveland held a reception at
the rooms of the Young Men’s Democratic
Association, lasting from 2 until 5 o’clock.
The building occupied by me association is
at the corner of Broad and Chestnut streets,
and tne locality was jammed with people
during the three hours that the reception
lasted.
A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
The reception which greeted Cleveland
upon entering the Academy of Music to
night was brilliant in the extreme. The
decorations were profuse and costly flowers
and plants abounded. Around the balco
nies were testoons of flowers, the names of
all the states of the union being
prominently displayed. Ten thousand
dollars are said to have t een expended by
the associ ition lu preparation for the ban
quet, and the scene presented when all were
seated at the table bos probably never been
excelled. Mr. Cleveland occupied the seat
of honor, ex-Secretary of S ate Bayard
being on his right and Gov.-elect Pattlson
occupying the seat at his left.
MRS. CLEVELAND IN THE GALLERY.
At the conclusion of the banquet pr oper,
the balconies of the academy, holding about
2,030 pe pie, were opened for the admission
of the public, and were soon Alien with a
brilliant gathering, m stly ladies in even
ing and ess. Prominent among the guests
was Mrs. Cleveland, who occupied what is
known as the "Mrs. Cleveland box." She
•was accompanied by a number of ladies.
Her entrance was greeted with applause,
which was redoubled when she kissed her
band to her distinguished husband, who aat
almost opposite her.
CLEVELAND’S SPEECH.
It was nearly 10 o’clock when Samuel
Gus tine Thompson, president of the Asso
ciation, delivered the opening address.
YV hen Mr. Cleveland rose to his feet to re
spond to his toast the scene was
simply inedscribable. The diners
and those who were assembled in the
galleries cheered repeatedly and waved
napkins ana handkerchiefs* the speaker re
maining several minutes on his feet before
he was permitted to procee i. Cheers fol
lowed almost every word of his speech. It
was in response to the toast: “The princi
ples of true democracy: they are enduring
because they are right, aud iuviucible be
cause they are just.”
GOV. PATTISON’S SPEECH.
Gov.-elect Pattison spoke to the toast
"The cum non wealth of Pennsylvania: her
honor is safe in the virtue, intelligence aud
independence of her people.” His speech
was received with much applause.
BAYARD PROVOKES APPLAUSE.
Ex-Secretarv of State Bayard responded
to the toast: "The federal g iveruruent—its
perpetuity denends upon constitutional lim
itations.” He delivered no set speech, and
his short address was mainly eulogistio of
President Cleveland's adminstration.
His opening sentence, to the effect
that he was a believer in the
gospel of re-creation, evoked much
laughter, but his next remark to the effect
that he stood ever ready to assist Grover
Cleveland in gospel work for the beueflt of
American people, brought forth heartv ap
plause. as did also his reference to President
Cleveland’s “second administration." He
agreed with Edmund Burke that
“the man who believes that he has
no law but bis own will, will
Boon find that be has no profit but bis own
end." Much appi .use followed Secretary
Bayard's dociura ion "that the rules of
Speaker Reed in the House and the pro
posed gag law in tue Senate are without
■warrant in the constitution.”
A TRIBUTE TO THE SOUTH.
Congressman Breckinridge of Kentucky,
in resp riding to the toast, "The New South,”
created much enthusiasm by a speech eulo
gistic of the south.
Congreuunau Breckinridge said the people
of the south were as earnest, aud as loyal,
and as patriotic in their support of tue
national government as they were when
they gave to the country Andrew Jackson,
in whose memory they met here tonight.
He evoked applause in a humorous alludou
to the fact that Pennsylvania could furnsn
a Secretary of the Treasury for the second
Cleveland administration (referring to
Gov.-elect Pattison). He added that,
although ex-Secretary Bayard had remarked
that to be associated in the cabinet of such
a man meant work, he was authorized to
say that Gov.-elect Pattison was not afraid
of work. This was admittedly ouo of the
hitsljfcof the night, and brougit
forth rounds of applause and cheers. Mr.
Breckinridge’s speech was an exquisite ex
hibition of word painting, wnich was
brought to a cli nax when he said: “The
new south asks nothing but to help you
work out her sal vutiou. tihe is not greedy
for place, but she is greedy for
confidence." Of Mr. Cleveland he
said: “The south hailed I.lm for
his recognition of her citizens in his cabinet
and in missions abroad as having come up
to the true level of American citizenship.
Bbe is as true to the principles of American
democracy as sue was when she gave to you
an Andrew Jacks >n, and as loyal aud mag
nificent as the majesty of his manhood."
John E. Russell of Massachusetts re
sponded to “New England."
The speech-making as brought to a
close at midnight by Joseph P. .McCullen of
Philadelphia, whose theme was "The young
democracy—the nope aud reliance of the
republic.”

The following letter of regret from Gov.

Davis, and, during the afternoon, received
numerous cal s from personal friends wh m

and to whom she has endeared herself by
her charmi g manners.
WHAT CLEVELAND RAID.
Following is Mr. Cleveland’s speech al
most in full.
Mr. Prewlent and (tenth men: As I rise to
respond to th sentiment which has been as
signed to me I cannot avoid the impression made
up. n my mind by the announcement of the
words "True Dem cracy." I he.ieve them to
mean a sober conviction or c inclusion touching
political topics which, formulated Into a politi
cal belief or creed, inspires a patr otic perform
ance of the duties of cltizensmp. lam satisfied
that the principles of this belief or creed are
such as underde our free institutions, and that
they may be urged upon our fellow country
men, because in their purity and integrity they
accord with the attachment of our peo
ple for their government and their country. A
creed based upon such principles is by no means
discredited because illusions aDd perversions
temporarily prevent their popular acceptance,
any more tnaD it can be irretrievably slup
wr eked by mistakes made in its name or by it*
prostitution to ignoble purposes. When illu
sions are disp lied, when misconceptions are
recti.ied and when those who guide are conse
crated to truth and duty, the ark of the people's
safety will still he discerned in the keeping of
those w.io hold fast to the principles of true
democracy.
PLAIN PRINCIPLES.
•These principles are not uncertain nor doubt
ful. The illustrious founder of our party has
plainly announced them. They have been Te
as erted and followed by a tom line of great
p litical leaders and they are quite familiar.
They comprise; Kqual and exact justice to
all men; peace, commerce and honest friend
ship with all nations—eutaugl ng alliance with
none; the support of*the state governments in
all their rights; the preservati n oft, e general
government in its whole constitutional vigor; a
jealous care of the right of election by the
people; absolute acquieioenee in the decisions
of tue majority; the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority; economy in the
public exp uses; the honest puyment of our
debts aud sacred preservation of the public
faith; t e encouragement of agriculture, and
commerce as its handmaid; and freedom of
religion, freedom of the press and freedom of
the person.
DEMOCRACY ETERNAL
Parlies have come and parties have gone; but
there never has been a tune, from Jefferson’s
day to the present Hour, wnen our party did not
exist, aetiie and aggressive and prepared for
heroic eonfl cl. Not a 1 who have followed the
bauner have been able by a long train o close
reasoning to demonstrate, as an-abstraction,
why democratic priuc.pl s are best suited to
their .vant*and the country’s good; but they
have known and felt that as their government
was es abtisheu for the people, the principles
and the men ui-aiest to the people and standing
for them could be the safest trusted. Jackson
has been in their eyes the incarnation of the
thing, which Jefferson declared. If tuey did
not understand all that Jefferson
wrote, they saw and knew what
Jackson did. Tiosn who • insisted
upon voting lor Jackson after his death felt
sure that wuether their can ! bate was alive or
dead they were voting the ticket of true demo
cracy. The dmOted political adherent of Jack
son who after his death became involved in a
dispute as to, whether h.s hero bad gone to
heaven or not, was > prompted by democratic
instinct when he disposed of the question by
declaring, "i tell you sir, that if Andrew Jack
son lias made up his mind t>go to neaveu you
may dspeud upon i; he’s there. - ' The single
single de ocratic voter in more tbau one town,
who year after year deposited his single demo
craiic ballot undismayed by the number of his
misguided opponents, thus discharged his politi
cal duty with the utm ft pride and satisfaction
in his Jackoonian democracy.

MISUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Thus when we see the functions of govern
ment used to enrich a favored le-v at the ex
pense of the many, and see also its inevitable
result in the pinching p ivation of th“ poor and
the profuse extravagance of the rteh; and when
we see in operation an unjust tariff which ban
ishes from many humble homes th-comforts of
life in order that in the palaces of wea th lux
ury may more abound, we turn to our creed
and tind that it enjoins “equal and exact justice
-to all men." Then if we are well grounded in
our political faith, we will not be deceived, nor
will we permit others to be deceiv and, by any
plausible pretext or smooth sophistry excusing
the skua: ion. For our auswer to them all, we
will point to tle words whica c mJemn such
inequality and injustice, as we prepare for the
enc unter with wrong, armed with the weapons
of the democracy.
When we see our farmers in distress and
know that they arc not paying the penalty of
slothfulnrss and mismanagement: wh n we see
Ui- ir iong hoursof toi so poorly requited that
the money lender eats out their substance,
while for everything they n ed they pay a
tribute to the fav. rite, of governmental care,
we know that ail this is far removed from the
“eacourag merit of agriculture” which our
creed commands W • will not violate our
political duty by forgetting how we I entitled
our farmers are to the best efforts for their
restorut on to the independence of a former
time and to the rewards of b -Iter days.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 9,1891.
REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE.
When we see the extravagAuce of public ex
penditure fast reaenmg th- point of reckless
• Mr. and the undeserved distribution of pub
lic money debauching its recipients, and by per
nicious example threatening the destruction
of t ue love of frugality among the our peop e.we
will remember that “economy tn the public
expense is an important article in the true
dem cratlc faith.
Wn-n we see our political adversari a bent
upon the passage of a federal law. with the
►carcely denied purpose of perpe: rating p rti
*an supremacy, which invades tbe states with
election machinery designed to promote red
eral interference with the rights of ihe people
in tbe localities concern-d, discrediting their
honesty and fairness, and justly arousing their
jealeuav of centralized power, we still stub
bornly resist auoh a dangerous and revo'ution
ary scheme, In obedience to our pledge for “the
support of the state governments in all their
rights."
*e•.* * * • •
I have thus far attempted to ktate some of
the principles of true democracy, and their
application to present conditions. Their endur
ing character and their oou-taot infl e tee upon
those who profess onr faith nave also len -ug
gest-d. If I were now naked why they have so
en lured and why they have been invincible. I
should reply in the words of the sentim-nt to
which I respond: 'They are enduring because
they are right, and Invincible because they are
just."
IDEAS THAT ENDURE.
I believe that among our people the Ideas
which endure, and which inspire warm attach
ment anil devotion, are those Having some ele
ments which appeal to the moral sense. When
men are satis.’.e 1 that a principle Is moral y
right, they become its adherents for all time.
There is sometime* a discouraging distance be
tween what our fellow-countrymen believe and
what they do. it such a case; but their action in
accordance with their belief may always be
confidently expected In good time. A govern
ment for the people an 1 ny the people is ever
lastingly light As surely os this is true so
surely is It true that party principles which ad
vocate the absolute equal tv or American man
hood, and an equal participation by all the
people In the maua ement of Jtheir government
and in the benefit and protection which it
affords are also right. H'-re Is common
ground where the best educated
thought and reason may meet the*
mo-it impulsive and instinctive Americanism,
it Is right that every man should enjoy the re
sult of bis labor to the fullest extent consistent
with his membership In civilized community. It
is right that our government should be but the
instrument of the people’s will, and that its cost
should be limited within the lines of strict econ
omy. It Is right that the influence of the gov
ernment should be known in every humble home
aa the guardian of frugal comfort an l content,
aud a defense against unjust exactions, and the
unearned tribute perslsteutly coveted by the
selfish and designing, it is right that efficiency
aud honesty lu public service should not be sac
rificed to partisan greed, and It is right that the
suffrage of our people should be pure and free.
It remains to -ay that In the midst of our re-,
jolcing and in the time of party hope and ec
p elation we ahou and etnoinber that the way f
right and jusiice should be followed as a matter
of duty and regardless of immediate success.
Above all things let us not for a moment forget
that grave responsibilities await tne party
whic i the people trust; and let us look for
guidance to the principles of true democracy
which “ar ■ enduring because they are right,
and iavincßile because they are just.”
DO EL TALK IN CAROLINA.
A Nephew of the Governor Chal
le -gee a Newspaper Man,
Columbia, 8. C., Jan. B.—The code of
honor has been dead in South Carolina for
years, but now it seems that an attempt has
been made to revive it, and by a nephew of
Gov. Ben Tillifcan and a son of Con
gressman G orge D. Tillman. On Tue-day
evening it was leai tied that George Legare,
a personal friend of James H. Tillman, and
until the advent of tho Tillma ite party to
power a iaw s udent at the university, had
gone to N. G. Gonzales, who until recently
was representative of tue Charleston News
and Courier in Columbia, and asked him,
on behalf of James H. Tillman, if he would
fig -t a duel, stating os his reason that he
had beard that Mr. Gonzales had said he
was the cause of l. is being blackballed in a
club. Mr. Legare, after receiving an
answer front Mr. Gonzales, weut away, and
early the next morning James H. Tillman
and his friends left the city. In
the meantime a number of reports
were circulated, but in Columbia few or
none outside of newspaper ciicles knew
anything of the matter. Mr. Tillman aud
his friends made no statement here, a id it
was thought the trouble had blown over.
A VERBAL CHALLENGE IGNORED.
Mr. Gonzales informed Mr. Lsgare that
he would not entertain a verbal challenge
to fight a duel, but that it must be in writ
ing. Up to this time no definite action has
i een taken by either side. Mr. Tillman and
his friend Mr. Legare are ho h out of the
city. This af eruoon Mr. Gonzales pub
lished a statement of the affair, in which he
handled Mr. Tillman very severely.
Rumor soys that the blackballing
story is not the real cause
of the affair, but that some
severe remarks of Mr. Gonzales regarding
Gov. Till nan and his nephew in the report
of apoliiical meeting during the late cam
paign is at. the b ttoiu of the matter. Re
ports sent out from Augusta state that Mr.
Tillman iutends to forward a written chal
lenge, but as \et none has reached Mr. Gon
zales, and even if it does ad is accepted,
there can be no possibility of a fight, as the
publicity given tho affair destroys any
possibility of a meeting.
SCOTLAND’S STRIKE’.
Six Thousand Men Still Out Around
Glasgow.
Glasgow, Jan. B.—Another day in the
history of the great Scotch railroad strike
has opened without any signs of definite im
provement in the situation. Tue railroad
directors have repeatedly announced that
the strike was practically over; that the
strikers were beaien, and that the usual
traffic upon all the linos had b en i osumed.
1 hose statements wei e believed at fir.-t, but
no . it seems that the statements of the offi
cials were not correct.
SIX THOUSAND OUT AT GLASGOW.
In this ne ghborhood there are still about
6,000 men on strike, aud in spite of the
s atements to ihe contrary the freight
traffic is not being improved. The strikers
are continually receiving financial aud
moral support from the various trades
unions throughout Great Britain. Though
the sum received by eac i striker is small
and far from being sufficient to keep their
families fiee from suffering, the aid re
ceived enables them to keep up the fight.
The general pu lie is longiug for a settle
ment to be arrived at.
A SMALL RIOT.
The officials of the Caledonian railroad, in
a manifesto issue 1 this morning, promised
to consider the grievances of the strikers
who would promptly resume work, iu
reply to that promise a number of engine
drivers and firemen returned
to work during the afternoon.
This created a small riot. The
so-called “deserters” were hooted at and
pelted with sto es by those of the strikers
who deter ined not to surrender. The
railroad fficiais called upon the police to
protect the men who had gone back. The
police oharged the strikers and arrested six
of the ringleaders.
The di. actors of the North British Rail
way Company have announced that their
efforts to effect an arrangement with the
men on strike have proved fruitless. The
announcement has increased the feeling of
bitterness prevailing among the strikers,
who appear more determined than ever to
hold out until they have forced the com
panies to concede their demands.
