The executive committee of the National Association of Demnnratloelute, wblebnew represent about 3,000 aas e'ated leeal clubs, lias Issued tbe following adurtea te lla eon een aiituent bodies : Your executive committee since fhe le tlenhas bMu In rcctlpt of communications from your general committeemen and from the clubs and eecletlee forming te association in every pari or ma oeuntry, It U Ka pleasure te ,ha able te report that teere la no faltcrtDg from tee issuee of the laat campaign, and no hesitation an te an tertng at enre upon the oenteet of 1802. The national aaaoeiatleu waa formed and lla mambera organized tee lata for the meat effective campaign work during the peat preeldentlal contest It failed te item the tldeel Republican mlarcpreeentatlea and the effect of enormeua sums of money baudled by the meat corrupt and cfflelent partlaan organic ttlen ever knows la thla country; but with all our disadvantages euoeeoa .waa barely aniseed. , The great manufacturing states of New Jersey and Connecticut were earrled. In New Yerk and Indians, In Maisaebuaetta and Rhede Island, the werklngmen atoed firmly by the Democracy, aa may be seen by a careful examination of tbe returns from manufactur ing centres. Where tbe people under under under atoed tbe real difference between Republi can plutocracy and Democratic equality their verdlet was true. Had tbe active olue organlzttlen of the Democracy permeated the agricultural dlstrleta as well, Cleveland and Thurman would have had an electoral aa well aa a popular majority. The honest and Intelligent farmers, who suffer tbe meat and gain tbe least from the pretest exeeea of taxation would have come ter ward In blocks et 60 te meet the mereenary and unpatriotic floaters In their blocks of flTft The campaign upon whleh tbe Demo cratic eluba are new te enter Is net an easy one. We cannot aafely rely for a victory, In tbe next preeldentlal election, upon the 20 states whlen elected Tilden In 1870, and whleh elected Grever Cleveland In 1881. The admission of the territories, te whleh each of tbe great partita has solemnly pledged ltsslf, and tbe rearrangement con sequent upon the census in the representa tion et the present states, will change tbe relative power of each atngle state and group et states, and will broaden tbe national contest. Te win, we shall have te fight tbe whole Held, from Maine te Cali fornia, aa hotly as New Yerk, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana were fought this year. Tbe Democratic party proposes te fight this entire field and upon the same Usuee aa in the past eampatgn, upon the aame principles which were inaugurated In the framework end foundation of our associa tion at Baltimore en July 4 last. They are the principles of Themas Jeffersen, the greet and first preceptor of the principles of Democracy In this country, aa well as of every true and enlightened Democrat who haa lived alnce our birth as a nation, our objects still being : Te preserve tbe constitution et the United Btatee, the autonomy et tbe states, local self-government, and Ireedem of election. Te resist revolutionary ehangea and the centralization of power. Te oppose the Imposition et taxes beyond tbe necessities of government economically administered. Te promote eoenomy In all branehes of the public service. Te oppeie unnecessary commercial re strictions (or tbe benefit of the few at the expense of tbe many. Te oppose clam legislation, which despoils labor and builds up monopoly ; and Te maintain Inviolate the fundamental principle of Democracy "equality before tha law." The Demccratle party will continue In the future aa In tbe past, te oppose the baee Republican scheme of reducing the sur plus of tbe federsl government by ex travagant expenditures and by Increased tsxstlen upon the necessaries of life. We firmly adhere te the prlnelple that un necessary taxation Is ULjuat taxation ; that It Is a premium upon extrava gant and oenupt expenditure; that the United States government should, therefore, raise no mere money than Is necessary for Its own economical support; that the Just and constitutional way te reduce revenue la by lowering taxes, and that they should be lowered upon the necessaries of life rather than upon tbe luxuries, and, finally, that In the reduc tion of the revenues te a point where they will meet the needa et tbe government economically .administered, American labor aball net be exposed te any injurious competition of cheap foreign labor, but the Demoeratlo party will still continue Its fore most champion. It haa been our purpose te bring about the neceassry raduoileu of the revenuee and the necessary atmpllcatlen and reform et the tariff without harm te tbe business Interests et tbe country and without Injury te any werklnginan, but In a manner by which all would be benefitted and relieved of unnecessary burdens and noenelojured In any degree whatsoever. Thla we have maintained In tbe face of the most persistent misrepresentation, and te bring the truth of these Issues plainly be fore every voter will be one of tbe labors et our association during the next four years. Ne leesanobjeet will be the overthrew of tbe money pest r In elections, which haa undoubtedly re llted In defeating the will et the people, and whleh has grown te be a national alsgraea The two arms of monopoly bribery and Intimidation must be struck down. Laws securing tbe most absolute teoreey of the ballet must be enacted and enforced, and tbe crime of t rib try must be made odious and punished as it deserves. During the past campaign tte Republican managers, political and pecuniary, stepped at nothing te aoeompllsh their end ; sectloeal prejudices were aroused te warp the Judg ment of tbe timid; audacious bribery was resorted te te complete tbelr purpose et debaueblng the people, se thst they might wrench tbe government from the hands of a clean administration and for a time riot In an Immense surplus drawn from tbe tell et honest labor. But tbe Republican organization lacks tbe moral power neceaaary te continued success. When reason resumes lta away and another election occurs, the Demoeratlo party will again rise triumphant, and these who be lieve In class legislation and corruption of the eieoterai irancniae wui attain de driven from power. Tbe party whleh haa truth upon lta aide never falta of victory when tbe truth Is onee made known. One argu ment Is worth a dcien fallacies. One organization eampalgnlcg for the truth and beneat government in a four years' oentest la worth a dtzm armed only with prevarications and with money. With an abandonment et every miner motive and a steady application te the aoeompllsbment et the great euds aud the establishment of the great principles ter whleh our party was loueded, as early aa tbe republic Itself, we need have no fear of the result We leek baek with aif -rtspeet and pride te tbe bsttle wblch we have waged, and with cenflJence te tbe ones te nema. Let us le6 no time In preparation. Tee next struggle for control of tbe dh dh tieusl government will begin, net In 18'J2, but In the congressional and legislative elections of ISM. Let the Demoeratlo clubs and aoeletlea step forward and with an active, earnest, vigilant, volunteer militia oppose tbe paid standing armv et our opponents, Inaugurating Immediately the agitation of our greet prlnelplee, and con tinuing It in every voting d is t riot for the next four years. A meeting or our general oemrr.Utee will M called at an early day. It la hoped that before thet time there will be at least one active club or society lu every county of the Ue Ien conscientiously at work. If there be but one In a county. It Isbeptdtbst that 03" will have the whole county as Its field. It Is hoped thst each elub will be a permanent and self-reliant literary bureau rnd apakere' committee.

Oae Bight laet week a dramatic company resented the play et "J ullna Caesar" at llfllla Centre, Pennsylvania, from the Mifflin Centre Blade wa gather that the leading citizens strongly crttlelee some things In the way It waa placed berate una, it. aeeme ibbi auung tna senate scene, before the assassination, Casslna sat down, put his feet en tbe bask of Pepillus Lane's chair,' and pulled out a oepy et a Philadelphia raornleg paps-r and began looking ever the want oelumne. The Jitade remarks: " We could readily forgive Canine for piscine! hla feet. en. the back of thesena- tot's ensir and smoking a cigarette, because doubtless these old Remans had te relax onee In a while, It hardly being possible for a man te stand around all tbe time with his arms folded under hie chin aud his nose high ; and we knew that even in our own Senate a certain member frequently alame hie hat en the fleer, daneea up and down en It, and In a loud and dlellnet volee Bwears at the president pre tempore ; se, as we sae, we oaneveriooa tna eievatea feet and the tobacco, but we must orltlelse tbe newspaper. It showed want of tact. Nothing serves te break ap the Illusion surrounding a Reman Senate scene like the crisp, dry rattle of a Philadelphia paper as a hamtatter searches ter the sporting col umn. "Berne people object te the little by-play et Mare Antony, when, after aaying 'Bee, what a rent the envious Caeca made 1' he turned te the audience and added: 'It Caesar had bought hla oletbea et Mess Keiensteln, the popular Allegheny avenue clothier, thla wouldn't have heppinad,' We admit that thla le wandering somewhat frearShakeepeare'a version, but it waa buslnesa and net te be measured by the narrow rules of dramatic criticism. Mr. Beeeneteln gave Antony seventy five eenta wiDirman it" The Slade also mentions the Inferior way In which the soothsayer's beard waa draped. "Leng chin whiskers en the natural human being," says the Hlflltn Centre Journal, ae net weg neon and forth in the air ilka , a frozen pillow eaee en a oletbea Hue when tbelr owner moves bis lower j aw. A billy goal's de, but a man'a de net. Thla sooth sayer's beard waa a feet long, audit pointed atralght toward a spot en tbe fleer ten feet In front et htm. It appeared te be made et broom corn; and It had been starched. When he kneeled and held up his face te Caesar, saying, 'Beware the Idea of March,' hla whiskers flopped up and down In a way that grated very harshly en the nerves of our belter Shakespearian aohelar. Wire whiskers are net popular InMlfllln Centre." The Blade also note, In tbe case of Cases, that' he get en hla bald head wrong end front ; thus, where he should have ap peared with a high and expansive forehead running up ever hie bump et benevolenee, the feet waa he played with bangs reaching te hla eyes, while the baek of bis neck ex tended te the top of hla head. " The ef fect wib far from pleasing, "says the Blade, " especially from a rear view. " , But tbe thing looked upon with least favor by our Pennsylvania contemporary was the death of Brutus. 'It appears that In dying thla nebleat Reman of them alt rolled tee far front, and when tbe curtain descended he found himself outside of It and oleae te the footlights. Turning ever, he struggled onto his bands and knees and crawled away toward the wings, te the disgust of many et the leading citizens. "Is it asking tee mueb," inquires the Blade, " that our actors should ule five or six feet further baek ? We think net. The spectacle of one of the greatest men known te Reman history crawling, oft en his hands and feet after he Is supposed te be deed Is far from pleasing. This man Brutus stabbed himself with a sword that looked like a cricket bat, and then he crawled off with about as graceful motlena as are made by a deuble-numpnd dromedary danelng tbe Highland fling. This is net art. Neither Is It nature. It la simply an exhibition of hew a barnstormer from Barnstorm Junc tion oannet play Shakespeare, The critical Mifllin Centre audlenee demands that lta actors die ou tbe stage, aud net In tbe or chestra. We believe that the next company which cornea here can atrlke the Idea of our citizens and play te standing room only if It will advertise, They deu't die In the house.'

Altlck, who was strleken with bairt failure last August, died at his rttsldenee, corner et North Prince and Chestnut street, en Wednesday night at 11 o'clock. The heart failure was preceded by a pros tration from tbe beat. At thattlmehla deith waa momentarily expected, but he re oereredfrom that attack aad ter a time was able te be about his room His last relapse was a few deya age, alnce whlel time he gradually grew weaker until death enaued. Mr. Altlck belonged te one of the very eldest famlllea In Lancaster, his maternal ancestors having emigrated from tbe Pala tine aa long age as 1729, and aettled In thla country, and the paternal anoistera came in itu. Daniel Antheny-At tick was born In Lau Lau eaater en Jan. II, 1826, and his fatber dying while be waa still a lad, he went te Colum bia and worked there at wagenmaklng for Jeseph Heek, hie unele, a period of nine years. Thenee he came te Lsneester and was employed successively by David Heek aud Geerge Mowry. When 22 yeara of age, In 1818, he determined te embark in busi ness for himself and with Geerge Deekor established the firm et Deeker it Altlck. Their place of bualneea was where St. Paul's Reformed ohureh new stands. That point was long known as the "old hay scales," having beenrer yeara the publlaplaee for weighing hey. The firm alter warda moved te Prlnes street, wheie tbe two houses south of Mo Me Cleerv'adrug store were utilised aa a ahep. In 1852 Andrew MeGlnnla waa admitted te the firm, whleh then became known ai Decker, Alllek it Ce. Their bualneea ex panding, It was seen found neeesaary te secure larger qnarteraand the preeent estab lishment en West Orange atreet waa occu pied. It bad net at that time Its prcatnt large proportions, bMeg a plain thren atery building of meagre depth. In 185, Mr. Decker retiring, the firm became Altiek & Mf.Gtnnis, rniualnlng aueh until Mareb, 1807, when Mr. McGlnnlsseld his Interest te hie partner. Prem that time until 1873 the business was earrled en by Mr. Altlck, and In April et that year hla eldest son, Samuel W. Altiek, was admitted te the firm. Anether son, William B. Altiek, was admitted te tbe firm In 1880. With the new bleed that was brought Inte the firm, additional energy was grafted en the old-time stock, and In July, 18SS, a third eon, Henry K. Alttek, opened for the firm a carriage repository in Savannah, Ga, as a Southern headquarters for tbe house, whleh is new doieg a large and nroapereus business. Jenn J. Altiek, another eon, and Jeseph F. Altlck, an only brother, are nlae connected with the home establishment, of whleh they are an im portant part. Almeat a year age Mr. Altiek rellred, aud the firm's name waa changed te D. A. Altlek's Sens. Mr. Altiek came of family of wagon and oarrlage makers. Frem Phlladelpula tbe first Altiek drilled te Lebanon, which was then a part of Laucaster county. Hla son Daniel, tlse a wagenmaker, waa born In Lebanon, but moved te tbe Comber Cember land valley, where he and hta boob pur sued the wagenmaklng business. One of tbe eons, Samuel, was the founder of the Lancaster branch of the family. In these days the btavy wagon for freight and tbe atage oeaoh ter passengers were the only means of communication between tbe East and tbe West, and consequently wsgenmaking was a most Important and profitable lndeatry. Mr. Altlck was married te Miss Mary Green en September G, 1813. She was tbe daughter. of Jeseph Grsett, wheae ancestor was that Sebastian Graett who eame te this country In tbe first hsll et tbe eighteenth' eentury. The union of Mr. and Mra. Altiek has been blessed with ten eblldren, five sons and five daughters, all of whom are still living. The eldest daughter Is tbe wile of Jehn F. O'Reilly, a well known Reading shoe dealer, and another daughter la tbe wife of Jeseph German, Southern repreeentatlye of tbe New Yerk firm of Hoeker & Ce., living at Stvannab, Ga. The ether grown eons have been alluded te In connection with tbelr father's business, 'aud three el the daughters live at hema Mr. Altlck served with conspicuous suo sue suo eess In common oeunalls, where he msde a roeord as a prudent and sagacious muni cipal legislator. He was a prominent mem mem beref St, Bernard's Beneficial society, hav ing served ss Its treasurer for some years, a pillar of St. Mary's Catbolle cburch and a member of the beard of trusteea of tiu Mary'a Catbolle orphan asylum. Mr. Alttck's success In originating out of nothing a very Important local Industry, bears with Italewoe that should net be leat upon thene ambitious of sucesss In tbe race of Ufa. Hts career has bsen one of triumph because It was feuuded en Industry aud frugality, and tbe sons whom be trained te fellow In his footsteps bid fair te add new laurels for Ibe future te tbeee already at tained by tbe alllek family.
