To the toast "our guest,'" Mr. llensel, responded in one of hi. happiest speeches, and we regret that we have space only for the closing para graphs : Till RKSCI.T or THE VICTORY. And, having won the victory, what do we propose to do with it ? The eyes of a wider constituency th n suppoited the Democratic party of tin- State are upon it now.

It ill be comes a majority Hnd a res|onii |e par ty to take shelter behind a negative • policy, hut. recognising the blighted in tluences wb'ch have been overthrown, it will not be out of place, surely, upon the threshold of power, for the Detnnc raey to pledge themselves anew to. the avoidance of those practices which have brought shame upon t he ('nnimonwealth and disaster to our political opoonent*. We must realise for Penns) Ivani i the protest* we have made "againt evil which the policy and practices of the Republican party, and the insolence oi its long possession of office'' have brought upon the Stale. Having Re nounced the spoil* system, let us not only abolish oil supernumerary- offices, reduce extravagant salaries and restore the Jeff-rsonian test qualifications, but eradicate those other pernicious bercsn s that the offices of the people are per quisitea of the appointing power, that considerations of person*! friendship factional interests, shrieks of locality or even claims for partisan services ren dered shall determine the selection of public functionaries, if we shall move forward to this high pane with unfal tering tread it will concern party man agement and party loyalty far less to know who shall Ice sealer of weights apd raeasures or who shall be merrsn tile appraisers than that all inquisitorial, superfluous and oppressive i Ifices lie abated ; or who shall be the overpaid appendages of the Legislature than that the swarming horde of political lazzaroni be banished from the halls of •State.

Fardon me if I have exceeded your invitation.

But if from this festal oc casion and out of this presence shall go the declaration f hat with its face turned to the reddening sky of DemirraMo sunrise, the party of the people in this Keystone State proposes to keep step to their highest demand for the best administrative policy, you will have builded far better than you knew in realising that it is follv alive to the connections of its faith." To the loaat, "The Democratic Party," Kenator Wallace in substance, as follows: "Pennsylvania'i Democracy found it* birth in tho victory over Federal con trol in 1800. The Stale was central, lis influence great and ita verdict was the verdict of the Republic. Oallalin. the elder Dallas, Jared Ingeraoll, Mifflin, McKesn and Leib were the sponsors at ilschriatening ; and the principles thev taught and the organisation they created live to-day. Thev are indestructible. Tbey are of the essence of the govern mental structure. .Strict construction of the Constitution would have pre vented an enormous river and harbor hill Hubbellism will speedily die when centralised power and extrava gance are met by local rule and econo my. Wo exist now because we believe j we only have acted on the thought that our lives, liberty and property are best cared for by them- and other principles opposed to the Hamiltonian theory. We believe that the conservative powy of the educated masses is a belter safw guard than moneyed control of aristo cratic power. The business ihleresls of the people can salely be trusted to their own control, and it is and ought to lie our highest aim to so govern as to ad vance and protect those interests. Mis takes and errors in judgment our orga nisation has oflvn made in its long career; but parlies are made of men, and men Hre fallible. Actuated by an honest purpose to govern with purity and economy from our own standpoint of principle, why shall we not go for ward with bolduesa and enerey ? There is such a tlnng as too much humility. We must lake care that in imitating the 'umhle I'riah' we do not go too far. I do not believe in apologizing for the existence of au organization or in con cealing our opinions or in traveling in untried paths. Krror, corruption and extravagsme have found their way to State control. It is our duly to re move tin*m, and we must join hands with all who wish as we do. RecogniS ing that duly let us go to its peflorm .iieo with the force and energy that flows Iroui conscious honesty."
