JACKSOTS DAY.
A GREAT BANQUET 01 THE DEMO
CRATS. A Brilliant Event in Philadelphia Which
Attracted the Shining Lights of the
Party From all Sections of the
Union
The Jackson day celebration of the
Democracy in Thiladelphii on Janu
ary 8th. was one of the most brilliant
political demonstrations ever witnessed
in that city. Ex-President Cleveland
was the central figure, and he was ten
dered a great ovation. Many distin
guished Democratic leaders sat at the
tables, including Governors, ex-Governors,
Senators. Congressmen and
other high officials. Letters of regret
were read from many others.
Following was the arrangement of
toasts;
"The memory of Jackson," drank
in silence; "The principles of the true
Democracy they are enduring be
cause they are right and invincible be
cause they are iust." ex-President
Grover Cleveland; "The Common
wealth of Pennsylvania her honor is
safe in the virtue, intelligence and in
dependence of her people," Gov. Elect
Robert E. Pattison; "the Federal Gov
ernment its prosperity depends upon
constitutional limitation," ex-Secretary
of State Thomas F. Bayard, of Dela
ware; "The new south in her mater
ial and political development are the
elements of a successful future," Con
gressmen W. C. H. Breekenridge, of
Kentucky; "New England her his
tory is a record of hostility to unjust
taxation," Hon. John P. Russell, of
Massachusetts; "The Young Demo
cracy the hope and reliance of the
Republic; Counsellor Joseph P. Mc
Cullen. of Philadelphia.
Ex.-President Grover Cleveland was
the guest of the evening, and the
enthusisam evoked by his appearance
was unprecedented. The banquet be
gan at 7 o'clock, and covers were laid
for over 600 diners. Prominent
Demcrats from all parts of the State
and country occupied seats at the
table. Previous to his appearance at
the Academy Cleveland held a re
ception at the rooms of the Young
Men's Democratic Association, lasting
from a o'clock until 5, and the locality
was jammed with people during the
three hours that the reception lasted.
THE SCENE WHEN GROVER ENTERED.
The scene which greeted Cleveland
upon entering the Academy of Music
was brilliant in the extreme. The de
corations were profuse and flowers and
plants abounded. Around the bal
conies were festoons of flowers, the
names of the states of the Union being
prominently displayed. Ten thousand
dollars are said to have been expend
' ed by the association in the prepara
tion for the banquet, and the scene
presented when all were seated at the
tables has probably never been excell
ed. Mr. Cleveland occupied the seat
of honor, ex-Secretary of State Bayard
being on his right and Governor-elect
Pattison occupying the seat at his
eft.
At the conclusion of the banquet
proper the balconies of the Academy,
holding about a. 000, were opened for
the admission of the pub'ic, and were
soon fillid with a brilliant gathering,
mostly ladies in evening dress. Prom
inent 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 hand to her dis
tinguished husband, who sat almost
opposite her.
It was near 10 o'clock when Samuel
Gustine Thompson, President of the
association, delivered the opening ad
dress. When Mr. Cleveland rose to
his feet to respond to his toast the
scene was simply indescribable. The
diners and those assembled in the
galleries cheered repeatedlyand waved
napkins and handkerchiefs. 1 he speak
er remained several minutes on his
feet before he was permitted to pro
ceed. Clieeis followed almost every
word of his speech.
Governor-elect Pattison's speech
was received witq much applause.
Ex-Secretary of State Bayard res
londed to the toast: "The Federal
Jovernment its perpetuity depends
ipon constitutional limitations." He
. lelivered no set speech, and his short
iddress was mainly eulogistic of the
Cleveland administration. His open
ing sentence to the effect that he was
1 believer in the gospel of creation
evoked much laughter, but his next
remark to the effect that he stood ever
ready to assist Grovtr Cleveland in
the gospel of work for the benefit of
the American people brought forth
hearty applause, as did also a reference
to Cleveland's second administration.
He agreed with Edmund Burke that
the man who believes that he has no
law but his own'will soon find that he
has no profit but his own, and much
applause followed Mr. Bayard's de
claration that the rules of Speaker
Reed in the House and the proposed
gag law in the Senate are without
warrant in the constitution.
Congressman Ercckcnridge, of Ken
tucky, in responding to "The New
South," created much enthusiasm by a
speech enlogistic of the South. John
E. Russel, of Massachusetts, respond
ed to "New England." The speech
making was brought to a close at mid
night by Joseph P. McCullcn, of Phil
adelphia, whose theme was, "The
Young Democracy the Hope and Re
liance of the Republic.
Shenandoi.h's great republican or
ganization, the Don Cameron Club,
has been added to the rapidly-swelling
list of political organizations that have
gone up fthe flue. The leading
members of the club were Major J.
F, Finney, Postmaster H. C. Boyer,
Jeff Yost, Archie Lamb, Leo Barn-
burger and Squire I. 1. Williams,
The club had quite a good sized mem
bership, but there was no money in
the treasury and the members foresaw
that a crisis was imminent. To add to
the troubles of the organizaiion Isac
dier Robbins, owner of the building
in which the club s rooms were located,
presented a bill of $165 for rent. The
club was unable to pay, and to pre
vent the attachment of their furniture,
pretty pictures and bric-a-brac, they
removed and secreted them so carefully
that no trace has been discovered of it.

BONOS AND POEMS, B7 JOHN SUTTON
The above is the title of a very neat
little volume recently published by
John Sutton of Stillwater, this county.
It contains a good portrait of the
author, and the dedication is as follows:
"To his Honor E. R. Ikeler, President
Judge of the Twenty-sixth Judicial
District of Pennsylvania, composed of
Columbia and Montour counties, for
many favors given, for many encourag
ing words spoken when greatly needed
and for his uniform courtesies and
kindness is this little volume dedicated
by the author."
The preface states that "the poems
were written during the course of
many years as circumstances called
them up, and were published in the
local papers without the most distant
idea of them ever appearing in
any other form. But through the
suggestions and solicitation of many
friends I have reluctantly consented to
give them to the public in book form.
Aware of their many imperfect ons as
poetical compositions, yet many of
them being expressions of my own
sentiments and emotions, and of others
with whom I have sympathized in
their joys and sorrows, and founded too
as many of them are, on local inci
dents which will be readily recognized,
I flatter myself that the local reader,
at least, will find something in them
to interest him, and remind him of
one who has long lived among the
people of this section of the country,
and been somewhat identified with the
local events of half a century.
One thing is certain, that if they
give the reader as much pleasure as
they have the writer, he will not be
grudge the small price asked for the
book."
Many of the poems are very pretty,
and the book is worthy of a place in
any library. It sells for the small
price of one dollar, and will be sent
by the author John Sutton, Stillwater,
