nial national convention of democratic clubs

Hover before within the memory of
this generation bus the democratic

a magnificent organization appeared to sup

In ibis last grann struggle lor
the redemption of tbo land inscribed \vith
those vcrv leronds of llberlv which Inspired
our forefathers , but thev are borne by cun-
didutes worthy of the bosl days ol the repub
lic , as democratic as the greatest democrat ,
as puru us the purest patriot in out
history. In Cleveland and Stevenson
wo follow leaders who tvpifythe spirit ol
American llfo and the cenius of American
institQlions. Men who , in pe ouul charac
ter and public service are not .surpassed bv
the noblest statesmen of tbo tgo. "
Tbo speaker then took up and dwelt a1
length on the turiH , makinc a strone , un-
mlslakanlv Iroo trade argument , declurinc
that the government has un right to levy anj
tax except for the necessities of Its support
The speaker then took up the force bill
which ho declared of even groutei
Importance than the tariff questior
because it included the tariff.
Ho declared It was the product of awickod ,
deliberate conspiracy between the monopoly
oligarchy uud its polillcul servant in con
press , devised wlth'satanic ingenuity to kept
the parties to the conspiracy In power in iplu
of the popular will. He closed by predicting
the election of Cleveland and btovouson.
Preiluunt Black then presented Grovoi
Cleveland \vbo was received with cheers
The cx-nrcsldent then proceeded to dclivci
An address of welcome. He suld ;
"Mr. President and Gentlemen : It affordi
too cspuciul pleasure to extend to you on thl :

this proud municipality 1 aui glad to assure
you that our nospitalllv Is always open auf

"As an unyielding and consistent believe ;
In democratic principles , l trust I need to

then , is no holiday assemblage , but an im
pressive convocation in furtherance of tb' '
floMtrns ami purposes for the accomplishmeu
of which vou and those you represent ar <
Danded together.
These dcsipns and purposes , as declare !
by your association , are the preservatloi
of the constitution of the Unltnd Status , thi
autonomy of the states , the freedom of elec
tions. opposition to the imposition of taxe
beyond the necessities of the governtnen
economically administered , and tbepromotio
of economy in all branches of the public sei
Tiro. Tbeso professions embody the pure ?
patriotism and the loftiest aspirations o
American citizenship , thougb at all time
they should suggest to us the strongest obi
cation of political effort. Their motive force
us incentives to political nctivltv and uatch
fulness , should oe irresistible at n tune wbe
the constitution is held in light esteem n
ncaiust the accomplishment of selfish pui

School Law Derisions.
State Superintendent of Public Inslruc-
llon Goudy has announced tbe following de
cisions upon questions raised in regard to
the Interpretation of the school law :
Tbe Board of Education in a city may
maiio and enforce a regulation malting tne
suspension of a pupil the punishment lor inJury -
Jury lo or deslruction of cky property , it is
not necessary to the validity of a vole cast
at a school mooting that me voter shall be
either a citizen of the United States or that
ho shall have declared his intention to be
come a citizen. In tbe. employment of a
teacher the board is not bound by any acaon
the voters may take relative thereto at the
annual moellnc. Tbo statutes empower ibe
board to select und lo contract with teacners.
The onlv conditions that entitle one lo school
privileges in a given district are school age
and residence in the district. The fact thai
one owns property in the district gives him
no school rights.
Superintendent Goudy reaffirms ibe ae-
cUiou of Superinlendent Lane made several
years ago lo tbe effect tnat a. school board
bus no right to make a contract with a
teacher , which contract is to be wholly or
largely carried out in the year following that
for which tbe hoard was organized.
