NEW YORK , July 4. Independence day
was celebrated by the Tammany society In
a manner commensurate with former celebra
tlons smco the founding of the Columbian
order 11D years ago. There was no diminu
tion In the enthusiasm manifested by those
present , althoigh the audience was smaller
thantln previous years Ex-Governor James
E Campbell of Ohio and ex-Governor Thomas
M. Waller were , In Tammany parlance , "the
long talkers , " while well known men from
nil parts of the country delivered "short
talks. " One feature of the celebration was
the reading of letters from President Cleve
land. Senator Hill , ex-Governor Klower and
other distinguished democrats. Grand
Sachem Smyth preside ! . ' "We are not
here , " ho said , "to celebrate a democratic
victory , but I believe you will realize with
mo tint thcfc responsible for democratic
defeat have been guilty of a great mistake. "
Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio was Intro
duced as "Tho great vvarhorso of democracy ,
whom Grand Sachem Smythe predicted would
npalu head the democratic ticket In Ohio
next fall "
Campbell slid : "Tammany has al < = o been
a ptotccteir of Mie people and If I mistake
not. the city of New York needs some Kiich
protector at the present lime However I
will leave that to my friend. Go-ornor
Waller , who , If I mistake not , will have the
scalps of some of the renegades dingllng
at his belt before he Is through " Governor
Campbell said he would conllne his remarks
to the Monroe doctrine , than which there was
no moro popular tubjcct to the American
heart.
"Tho moaning of the Mcnroo doc'rlne , "
ho said "was tlut we sluiild extend our
territory In the western hemisphere whenever
the opportunities was presented , and confine
the nations of Europe to the possessions on
this continent which they already hold An
Infraction of the Monrco doctrine now con
fronts UH It w.is done artfully and In-
Blduously and lodny the BrltUh government ti
lays claim to a tract of territory larger in i
area than the state of Ohio , every foot of
which belongs to the republic of Venezuela
The policy of Great Britain Icol.ed like an
effort to force the United States to abandon
the Monroe doctrine. It ought to be met
In the tame spirit that the United States
oriered the french trocpa from Mexico thirty
years ago.
"Great Britain ought not to be told again
that she would have to submit the Ven
ezuelan question to arbitration , or bo pre
pared to see the United States enforce the
Monroe doctrine Another attempt to seize
a foot of soil on this continent should be
treated by the United States as a declaration
of war. It has become fashionable of late
lie said , to 'cough' at those who advocated
such measures nnd ( decisively call them
'Jlngccn , ' but there was a tlmo coming when
Jingo' woull cease to be n term of oppro
brium , but would become the emblem of
those men who loved their country nnd
lint ; "
Ex-Gcvcrnor Waller of Connecticut re
hearsed the history of the Tammany society
organl/cd by common soldiers of the war
of Independence. Tammany , ho said , was
fully prepared for the coming fight In Novem.
bei. Tammany has been responsible for the
government of New York almost for ages.
"Is tl.ero anybody who believes that this
great city of New York should bo governed
like an Ohio township , or worse still , like
a hamlet down In Maine' "
Secretary McGoldrlck then read letters of
regret from President Cleveland. Senatcr
Hill , ev-Governor Flower , Frederick R Cou-
dert. Secretary Herbert and others Presi

EVILS Of OUR DAY.

BOULEVARD. ALBANY , N. Y. , July 1.
lion , frcderlck Smyth Dear Sir. I regret
I f.iull be unable to participate with you In
your celebration of the 4th Inst. You have ,
however , my best wishes that the occasion
will be one of the most useful ot all your
time-honored demonstrations. The present
Is Indeed a fitting time for the revival of
revolutionary matters and the renewal of
patriotic pledges for the promotion of the
best Interests of our common country It Is
useless to disguise the fact that the spirit
of socialism Is unfortunately abroad In the
land , demanding , among other things , a
more liberal construction of the federal con
stitution than our fathers were ever willing
to sanction ; Insisting upon odious schemes of
taxation foreign to the genius of our free
Institutions ; proposing to Ignore or belittle
the reserve lnthe _ rights of the states , seeking
an eytensloti of thp functions or Jurisdictions
of the federal Judiciary by the gradual and
Insidious absorption or exercise of powers
heretofore Invoked In violation of the spirit ,
If not the letter , of the constitution ; per-
| stently Insisting upon ppscltl legl'latlon
for the benefit of private Interests and cl'intes '
rather than for the general welfare and for
public purposes ; clamoring for a flat or de-
preclited currency In the place of the coined
money of the constitution , urging the as
sumption on the part of the state of the
i actual management of nearly all corporate
Interests of a semi-public ( character , rath r
than a reasonable control and regulation by
law , and desiring to Inflict upon us the
enactment or arbitrary enforcement of un
just , vexatious and puritanical sumptuary
laws which needlessly Interfere with the
harmless habits and customs , of large portions
of our people
In other direction ? there are Indications
of efforts to change the nature ot our gov
eminent by transforming It from a single
republic of states to a strong ce-itralUei !
government with greatly augmented powers
-endeavoring to maintain un Immense
standing army and a powerful eei-golnt ,
navy , not for the purpose of defense , but ii
readiness for conquest. In furtherance o
schemes for national agfrandlz ° ment or Ille
gltimate uses of Intlmldition ; often leaning
toward plutocracy , and for the seclusion of
the rule of the plain people and for the at
tempts to proscrib * citl/ens for political pre
ferment on account of their nationality , re
ligion , occupation or social status.
"ThCTO nro some of the evils or dangers
which threaten the p ° ople and which patriotIsm -
Ism uj well as good policy requires should be
stoutly and earnestly resisted
"In all your efforts in opposition to vicious
tendencies and fall ? ' tentlmcnts , and for the
promotion of right principles of government ,
patience , fferseverance , courage and confi
dence will eventually and biirely Insure suc

CHICAGO , July 1. The Joint picnic of
the American federation of Labor and the
Chicago Trade and Labor assembly at Sharp-
shooters' park was the leading feature of
Chicago's celebration of the fourth. In
point of attendance nt least It topped all
the others , fully 20.000 p ° cple being on the
ground to listen to the addres es made by
Vice Pre ldent Stevenson and Governor Mc-
Klnley of Ohio. Thomas J. Elderklnlce
president of the American federation of
Labor , presided over the speechmaklng part
of the program. He , In a few words , In-
traduced Vice President Stevenson , Who was
greeted with enthusiastic applause as he
stepped forward and spoke as follows :
"Mr. President , fjllow Citizens. Mortal
eyes have never beheld a grander assemblage
than this. Words are Inadequate to ex
press my appreciation of your Invitation to
addre s the tens of thousands of American
patriots who here and now honor this day.
"We have assembled to celebrate America's
day. By virtue of edict or proclamitio.
other days have been set apart to celebrate
marked events In history But thi our
day com-s unheralded by edict or proclama
tion , for mere than 100 years It has been
the day of days of America. Unmindful of
party fealty or of creed , we have assembled
to do honor to the memory of the signers
of the 1) ) claratlon of Independence These
ceremonies , this coming together of the pee
pie , notes the 119th anniversary of the blith
of our republic.
"Prophet , as well as patriot John Adams
exclaimed 'We shall make this a glorious ,
an Immortal day. Our children will cele
brate It with roar of cannon , with martial
music , with songs of thanksgiving and with
shouts of Joy. ' All of this multiplied a
thousand fold , our eyes now behold.
PRIDE OF ANCESTRY.
"One * of the great students of hls'ory has
said. 'A people vvnlch takes no pride In
the noble achievements of remote ancestors
will never achieve anything worthy to be
remembered with pride by remote descend
ants. ' It Is meet , then , that we recall some
thing of this anniversary ot a people who
without the light of experience to guide them ,
struck the masterly blow for liberty The
glory of such heroism belongs exclusively
to no age or country It Is a part of the
common heritage of our race. Whenever and
vherevcr In the world's history any people
lave struck a blow against tyranny It has
> oen against odds , and without counting the
co = t It was from an English scaffold tlut
Rumbold , the patriot and martyr , exclaimed
I never could believe that providence had
sent a few men Into the world , ready booted
ind spurred to ride , and millions ready sad-
lied and bridled to. bo ridden '
"The men who signed this declaration were
not unmindful of the grave respon ibllltle
which they assumed The declaration was
signed ; the die was cast , a new era had
reached In the world's history ; a new
government had been proclaimed , brave
words had bsen spoken ; the go psl of univei
sal liberty had been proclaimed to the world
for ages mankind had believed 'there Is a
ilvlnity which doth hedge a king' The
world was now startled from Its lethargy

tyrants Is ob ° dience to God ' The new gospel

of Independence wan In conflict with that by
which the world had been govern d
'Tho Declaration of Independence v\as > an
Important event In history , not so much be-
nuse It was a revolt against tyrannical
power , nor even because of Its assertion
of the correct principles which underlie the
social organization. Its chief Importance
grows out of the fact that It was followed
by the erection of the American colonies
Into a permanent government , having for Its
corner stone the leading features embraced
in the Declaration of Independence It Is of
value not EO much because of Its correct
expression of a creed of human rights and
correct principles of human government , but
because of the Important practical results
by which It was followed. The blgners of
the decliratlon and the framers of our federal
constitution were enabled out of the chao
which followed the overthrow of British
power to establish an enduring government
History Is full of instances where other people
ple have thrown off the yoke of the oppressor
and attempted to maintain theJr liberties by
self-government. But In the main the his
tory of these attemp's has been n catalogue
of sad failures because of a lack of virtue
In the people sufficient to maintain by wise
administration what they have achieved by
arms.
LIBERTY AND LAW.
"This Is the land of liberty of the. largos'
liberty. But It must never be forgotten that
it Is liberty regulated by law. Whatever
savors of lawlessness Is antagonistic to the
spirit of our free Institutions. Whatever the
grievance of the citizen his redress must
bo found within the pale of the law for
unjust legislation , whenever it exists , there
Is a remedy It comes not through defiance
of the law and contempt of Its ministers , but
the solo remedy is that ot the ballot. In this
land of liberty , of representative gov eminent
there can bo no justification or excuse for
the attempt whether by one or many , to
override lawful authority All political power
springs from the people Through the peace
ful and lawful Instrumentality of the ballot
they can bind and loose make and unmake
Thus equipped with the all potent ballet , It
Is not possible that the people will long per
mit unequal or unju't laws to remain
upon the statute book The remedy , how
ever , can come only through the peaceable
agency I have indicated Through the law
and Its chosen
Instrumentalities ccme pro
tection to property and person. Whatever
tends to weaken lawful authority , to lessen
respect for Its chosen agencies. Imperils the
very safeguards of society This Is a gov
ernment of law its authority Is paramount
Broad as Is our domain. It has no permanent
abiding place for him who would wantonly
destroy what It has cost centuries of sleep
less endeavor to achieve. Broad as Is our
national emblem , to him who would strike
It down there can be no asylum beneath Its
ample fold * .
"It Is. Indeed , worth while to live In this
favored land In this , the third of the sister
hood of states during the closing years ol
the- nineteenth century. Standing In * Us

the people and for the people , ' marching

In Its own borders ; at peace with and
