In the course of a long speech he said: "The campaign in which we are now engaged is a most important one. The democracy of the nation is looking to New York to see what we will do. They are looking with great anxiety and interestsfor the outcome of our campaign. Our platform has placed the party precisely where it stood one yeav ago. We have taken no step backward. We have given an assurance of consistency and good faith in our attitude before the American people. One year ago the Democratic party made a deliberate pledge committing itself to tariff reform. We reiterate that pledge, and propose to fight it out on that line, no matter how many years it may take to win. Our platform distinctly says that we have never and do not now advocate free trade. The statement is an accurate one. We believe that sufficient revenue should be raised to meet the expenses of the government economically administered, and that the raising of greater revenue is unnecessary and unwarranted. "A Democratic victory now will cheer the true friends of reform in every state in the Union. It will encourage every stalwart Democrat and clear the way for a national victory in 1802, Compliments Cleveland's Administration. "We believe that the surplus should be reduced. We believe in a strict construction of tho constitution. We believe in the sovereignty of the states. We belie vp in the honest and economical administration of public affairs.

Weeks, Esq.: Dear Sir—I am in receipt of your invitation to attend the convention of New York state Democratic clubs, to he held at tbe Hoffman house on the 22d inst I am glad that you were considerate enough of my situation and feelings to give me an opportunity to infer from your note that my failure to accept your invitation would neither cause great disappointment nor be construed as indicating any lack of interest in the work whioh the clubs represented in the league have undertaken. These organizations bad their origin in the heat and activity of a presidential election, which furnishes plenty of that enthusiasm upon which political prganizations easily subsist. While they are certainly very useful at such a time, it must be conceded that the noise and excitement of a campaign are not conducive to the accomplishment of missionary work or to the effective dissemination of political truth. This most important work can better be done in more quiet surroundings, though usually it is not then so easy to wuintaiu political associations. It has been too often the case, if it may not be said to be the rule, that political clubs, whatever their declarations of perpetuity may have been, have only lived during the campaign in which tl\ey hud birth, and only performed temporary campaign work. I am very much pleased to lC»arn that the League of New York Democratic clubs intends make the organisations of which it is composed permaneut agencies for spreading and illustrating the doctrines of the Democratic party at all times and in all cir cumstances. In making this effort the league is to be congratulated upon the fact that the principles of Democracy occupy at this time a larger place than they lately have in Uio consideration of the party. The study and propagation of these principles afford strong inducements to associated eljort a.nd, what is better, these efforts ar*» invested with a value and iinport4t\pe a« great as the prosperity of our land and as broad in their bene&oeuce as the welfare of all our people I look to the oseendanoy of the principles upon which true Democracy rests, which will be greatly aided by the activity of leagues such as yours to Secure us frorp wasting extravagance, from demagogic pretense, from sectional bitterness and from the widespread corruption, of our suffrage. Could lt»tw %nd effort have greater or higher incentives thau the accomplishment of these results? Yqifl-s very truly, §rqv*r Cleveland. A Museum Keeper in Trouble. New York, Oct. 28.—If Jeremiah Lynch, an 18-year-old machinist, should ever raoover he may well claim the distinction that his life was attempted in a quarrel over the smallest subdivision of a cent that ever a murderer's arm.

Lynch stopped to buy a cent's worth of chestnuts, and after giving Cetis his penny was told to take seven chestnuts.
