The first general assembly efthe Demo
cratic society of Pennsylvania was called
te etder shortly after neon en Tuesday by
the president, L'hauncey . Black, nndfin.
, ithed Its business about 0 o'clock. It was
fully as lrtrge and aa enthusiastic an assom assem
blase aa the tnest sanguine of Its managers
had predicted. About 750 delegate wero
,, present and tbegallcrlesattbeTnalinthea
' tre were crowded by spectators.
There was nednllnrssln the proceedings,
and Chairman Uensel. experienced and
able as he is in presiding, at time, had
about aa much as he wanted te contend
with, se active and spirited were scores of
debaters and ether workers.
When there was nothing else te be done
an orchestra rurnlshed music. The gallery
front, the boxes and ether parts of the
theatre wero draped with tricolor bunting,
and decorated with shields, flags and ban
ners, t
CtlATCCCKV V. BLACK'S HrCECtt.
Prcsldent Black started the proceedings
with a speech, in which he said :
" We followed in the het conflict or 1888 a
brave and stainless leader te moral and
popular victory, though te electoral defeat.
A pure-hearted disciple of Jofforsen, his
definitions of Democrat te doctrine were as
seuud and precise and well nigh as com
prehensive as these of the Immortal founder
himself. His appeal was te tlie mass : bin
challenge te the class. He fell, rut (town
by venal treachery at vital points and over
whelmed by the tide of monopoly's cor
ruption. But the standards are there still.
Mere than a hundred thousand majority
of the American peeple repaired te tliem,
with renewed courage and fresh hope, in
the election of last year, and, notwithstand
ing the tainted victory which brazen
monopoly bore away from that field, new
standards are dally planted beslde the old
ones, and streams of sturdy new recruits
take permanent place beneath thorn.
-we Knew no aiuerences,ne dissensions.
In the Democratic societies, indeed in the
Democratic party, properly spcnklng.thcre
''ran be none. Our fuudatnetital doctrines
are the same, yesterday, te-day and for
ever. As te tariff taxes, for Instance, dis
criminating against many Industries te
artificially stimulate a few, pillaging the
mass te enrlch a class, no Democrat ever,
ns an original preposition, bolieved thetr
imposition consistent with a republican
system. 'It is,' cried Themas Jeffersen,
the first Domecrntlo president, 'a question
whether we nre te llve under a limited or
an unlimited government,' and utter the
lapse of a century ceme ringing down te
us the answering words of U rover Clove Cleve
land, the last Democratic president, 'Un
necessary taxation is unjust taxation.'
Congress lias power te tax only for the
support of government, economically ad
ministered, within plain, specified, consti
tutional limits, and a seizure of the pro
perty of the people, by tbe oxerrlseof the
power of taxutien, for any but a public and
general purpose, is an unconstitutional and
monstrous abuse.
"The Democratic societies must, by the
very law of their existence, by the princi
ple implied in their name, by the inspira
tion of their historic faith, carry forward
te the final and complete triumph of the
people the struggle for tariff-tax reform, te
which they were summoned by drover
Cleveland, reform for the relief of the
Amerlcan tax-payer, for tbe emancipation
of American labor, for unrestricted access
te tbe materials of American industry.
",TIiIh great assemblage, the greatest of
its kind ever seen in the state, is sufficient
evidence that the Democratic wieties of
Pennsylvania will emit no uart of their
duty. Net only will they stand shoulder
te shoulder witli our brethren in the
Union, but they will, in due time, see te it
thai our own imperial commonwealth Is
rescued from the tyranny of monopoly
in coalition with a corrupt political party.
If this shameless combination hus written
its ruthless decrees upon our statute book,
let us proceed, in order, te wlpe thorn oil
and te replace them with equal and Just
laws, framed In the interest of the whole
peeple ; te provide for the freodeui and
safety of labor and the payment of
wages lu cash ; for n state constabu
lary which shall represenl.lf commissioned
at all, the majesty of the commenwcatli
and no private interest ; for u revision of
taxes, distributing the burdens alike upon
all classes enjoying the protection of the
Htate; for a pure and secret ballet, the right
preservative of all rights kesping in con
stant and steady low the ideal of true
Democracy, sketched by Jeffersen him
self 'A wise and frugal government which
sVall restrain men from injuring one
another, shall leave then otlierwise free te
regulate thelrewn pursuits of Industry and
tiprevement, and shall net take from the
mith of labor tbe bread it has earned.'
" If, at this moment, it is a matter of
general notoriety that the funds of the
treasury of the commonwealth iiave for
mero than 20 years been grossly misman
aged : that the favorites of a corrupt ring
are in tbe regular enjoyment of the use of
public moneys, without return of service
or interest ; that tbe securities in tbe sink
ing fund, undcrspecial guardianship of the
law, have been sold te provide additional
means for private employment; aud that,
the department, in bad hands, has bwn,
and still i, a powerful agency for political
evil, every man in Pennsylvania has an
equal interest in the success of the proposal
te reform ,it and te con lido its future con
trol te un upright and competent citizen."
C'n AIRMAN UE.VSEI.'H DUOI.K 1IL.AHT.
At the conclusion of his speech President
Black surrendered the gavel te W. U. Uen
sel, of Lancaster city,- who was unani
mously elected temporary and permanent
chairman. When Jehn Hugirard and
Patrick reley conducted Mr. lleusel te
the chair the assembly broke out into a
deafening and prolonged applause. Mr.
Uensel addressed the assembly as fellows;
Democratic Deputies: Ne eye can see
and no tongue can tell the far-reaching In
fluence of the movement In progress here
te-day. The slender sheet of yesterday,
the splendid sapling of te-day, will to
morrow become tbe sturdy oak, deep
rooted In the soil, wlde branching te the
storm.
It seems te me right fitting that the first
great assembly of the Democratic Society
of Pennsylvania should convene in this
city, where a century age Democratic prin
ciples were first, en this continent, crystal
lized into fundamental law. Bight fitting
is It that, in the b.ittle for tax reform, our
rhallenge should ring en the Kates of w hat
baa tee long been the citadel et the opposing
tee. The Democratic Society of Pennsyl
vania may congratulate Itself that, In this
form of organization, it leads. Our brethren
of New Yerk, New Jersey, Maryland and
ether states are gathering beneath our
banners. Its object is te p. emote the spread
of Democratic principle and enhance, the
efficiency of Democratic organization.
Believing that there can be no right ac
tion w Itheut sound faith, we may felici
tate ourselves that the day and hour are se
opportune for dispassionate political dis
cussion. When the great Ca?wr grasped
at imperial pew er he said of him w horn he
had cause te fear and hate : " He thinks
tee much ; such men are dangerous. And
there never was a time when au Intrenched
political dynasty did net have reason te
fear thoughtful agitation and temperate
discussion. Cheers.
We are for tariff reform. Trem the
high ground te which our great captain lad
u last year we w 111 net retreat one inch.
Leng continued cheering. Frem the
declaration of our faith made at St. Leuis
In 1888 we will net abate one syllable We
can well trust te " the safa appeal te truth
nd time. " We may lese the speilsman,
but we 111 gain the scholar. Camp fol
lowers mav drop out, but patriots will
drop In. 'Time marches with tariff re
form : and sure as Ged In Israel reigns the
chosen people who bear the ark will carry
it within tbe borders of tbe premised laud,
though leaders fall by the wayslde or be
lett in the wilderness.
We are for a genuine civil sorvlce re
form which will purge the body politic of
the feverish lust of power, and, though w n
mar lese the Chaluierbes of Mississippi,
will gain tbt EUleta of Harvard.
YTt w for tellet itforre. We art for
secret, Intelligent and free ballet in this
commonwealth. When the representa
tives of the werklngmcn asked the Kepub
llcan legislature te make election day a
holiday, they wore'answered with the eva
sion or "September 1." Their appeal
for bread was answered with n stone
When they asked for the Australian ballet
system a Republican Legislature deulcd it.
and the Republican party has emphasized
the dental by nominating as Us standard
bearer In the state campaign the speaker
of the Heuse who recorded his vote as
hostile te the measure. The leader
of tbe labor Interest has asked these
who join In this demand te ralse their
hands. Let us answer the challege by
bowing that we are with him: that we are
for a free ballet alike for the black freed
man In the Southern field and ferthe white
bondman In the Nerthern factory. Pledged
te such principles and maintaining them
in our councils, the Democratic society will
be a help, and net a hindrance te the
state organization of our party. Its hun
dred eyes will guard with sleepless vigi
lance the people's rights. Its hundred
hands will strike with sturdy strength te
redress the people's wrongs. The militant
Democracy wilt become a triumphant De
mecracy. A party reuulted in laith shall
be a party restored te power.
CLBVKLAND AROUSES GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
The work of constituting the committees
occupied considerable time, and while the
workpregressed a number of letters from
dlnttnjrutshed persons were read.
Ex-President Cleveland's letter aroused
the delegates te the highest pitch of en
thusiasm, and the cheering continued for
several minutes, tbe entire assemblage
meanwhile rising und waving hat, ratios
and standards in general confusion. The
letter was as follews: a
New VenK, Oct. 11, 18S0. Uen.Chauncey
F. Black My '.Dear Sir : Inm sorry that
I shall net be able te be in Philadelphia at
the general assembly of the Democratic
societies of Pennsylvania en the 15th In
stant, and cannot therefore attend the
meeting which will fellow that assembly.
My estimate of the value of tbese Dem
ocrat le societies as ageuts for the instruc
tion of tiie people upon political topics and
for the accomplishment of legitimate polit
ical work Is well known, and there never
wusatime when in the interest of geed
government and national prosperity they
wdre mero needed.
The condition of political affuirs is such
that the attention of all true Democrats
should be directed te the enforcement of
the distinctive principles of the party ; aud
In my opinion this Is no time for the search
after makeshifts and temporary expedi
ents. We as n party are fairly enlisted in the
cause of the peeple and patriotism ; duty
and party success require that we should
be consistent and steadfast. All personal
nnd selfish aims should be subordinated.
I confidently expect that in the work we
nave in nana our Democratic societies wm
exhibit an efficiency which will be grate
fully acknowledged by all who have -at
heart the welfare nnd prosperity of the
American peeple. Yours, very sincerely.
Gjiever Cleveland.
The following lotter was received from
Congressman Samuel J. Randall :
Walmnofeud, Pa., Oct. 7, '69. Hen.
C F. Black: Your letter asking my
presence at tbe meeting of the general as
sembly of the Democratic societies of
Pennsylvania, te be held en the 15th in
stant, was received. I shall go te Wash
ington before that tlme, and cannot accept,
but I appreciate your courtesy. I hope
the meeting will be successful in every
p-uticular. Organization is a tiling that is
needful in our state, and every effort in
that direction should roceive the encour
agement and support of every Democrat
in our geed old commonwealth. Sincere
iy yours, Samuel J. Randall.

Whereas tbe subject of ballet reform is
a pressing and burning question; and,
whereas it has been studiously ignored by
the Republican party ; nnd, whereis fhe
last Republican Legislature smethered all
prepositions looking te that end, having
neon assisted in this by the vete and influ
ence of Hen. Henry K. Beyor, Republican
candidate for state treasurer ; and, whereas

hus pledged the Demecracy of this state te
assist in bringing about the reform for n
pure, free and secret ballet; therclore, be

zenship, and liae realized that we can bet bet
