IteprefWfltatlves ol tho gold Democracy of Illinois sud other states of the uilddlo west, uofthwest and south, mot at the Auditorium last night tor tho purpose of celebrating Jaokson day. Fully 800 men were present, and the banquet was In many respect, a notable affulr of Its kind. Letters vre received from I'roMdont Clovoland, Secretary Mor ton nnd Senator Johu M. Palmer, and a largo number of Democrats throughout tho country sent mossagog of regret Franklin MaoVeagh was the toast master for the evening. In the oourse of his addross ho said : "Tho recklessness and Insanity of Pop ulism are paralleled by the beartlossnose ' the immorality of protection. And Populism and rletiublloanlsin stand for tho paternalism and centralization which Democracy abhors. AVe are the jDemooratlc party of the past. We are the Democratic party of tho present; we are the Demo cratic party of the future. To Us will tend, from tho ono sldo nnd from tile othor, all who elthor now believe or Bhtll como to bollovo in tho principles wo stand for. "Nothing in American llfo is more in ovltublo thnu that our principles will al ways havo a party. And nothing is mora truo than that no existing imrty except ours oven protends to represent those prlu clplo4. Wo can harmonize our currency views with those of the Kopubllcun party whonovor that party, as lu tho lato cam paign, llvos according to ts host lights, for questions of tho currency which In volve tho honor of the nation havo nevor dlvidod real Domocrats and real Republi cans. Hut when that Is 6uld, all Is said. No Democrat can bo a protectionist, aud no Domocratcun be a Populist" As Mr. MacVeagh took his seat Mr. Wntterson, who was to address the com pany upon ''The Future of Democracy," nENEV WATTERSOIT. roso to his foot The ringing choers that greeted him mado It Impossible for sev eral minutes for tho eloquent Kentuokian to proceed with his remarka Ills address, which wasrocolvod with onthuslasm, was Jn part as follows: "It was said during the political cam paign which closed tho 8d of last Novem ber that what we call American Institu tions wore on trial; and, In a sonso, it may bo said that what wo call govern ment Is, more or loss, always on trial. If, in tho creation of tho world, God had meant to mako anything perfect, ho would havo bogun with man, whom wo aro as sured he dosignod after his own imago. But man, at once tho source and resourco of govornmont, is, among living things, most fallible, and, as nothing can rlso nbovo Its own lovol excopt Populism and protection human Institutes are apt to sink Bomowhat below that level. The etrlfo to fix It high or low orlses out of divergencies in opinions among tho com batants. Sly reading of history, howovor, Is wholly at fault if tho good of man bo not tho final result of every conflict ; 'for I truly bollovo that, In tho long run, truth Is mighty and will prevail. "In the lato presidential election tho country was assallod by two dangors, tho greater and more lmmlnont for tho mo ment overshadowing the lessor. Tho vot ers had to chooso betwoon Republicanism, which they had tried and survived, and a combination of faotlons, with Its positive Monaco to the publlo ordor and credit, and Its unknown quantities of evil. They wisely ohoso to postpone the day of execu tion. But In doing this thoy did not mean to revitalize any of tho abandoned policies of Republicanism, or to commis sion the Republican party with any new policies. They simply restored It to power and put it on Its good behavior. "As far as I am conoernod, und no man's Democraoy pan go back of mlno though I got it of Jefferson and Jaokson, and not of Tillman and Altgeld whenever good morals against bad morals, good money against bad money, government against the mob, are tho issues, I Bhall go with that party which stands true to tho publlo oredlt and order, no matter where It takes mo. But, following this law of my being In the campaign just ended, I surrendered none of my orglnlal, Individual opinions. To -ny mind one Issue absolved all other Issues. The publlo oredlt was at stake, nnd, with it, the public order. The defeat of Mr. Bryan, the election of Mr. MoKln ley, for the tlmo being, secures us both. "We are about to closo a hundred years of party warfare In the United States. In 1800 we were a few millions of people, and we loved liberty. In 1897 We are eighty millions of peoplo, and wo love monoy. In 1800 the Issue lay betweeu the old order of English gentlemen who had signed the Declaration of Independence, led the Con tinental armies and framed the constitu tion, and the new order ot Americans, who suspected every conservative with be ing a monarchist, aud were in turn de nounced by every conservative as a rabble plotting the exoesses of the French revolu tion. Iu 1000, unless we oan order other wise, the issue will be between the forces of organized oapltal and the forces of or ganizing anarohy. "I use tho terms 'organized capital' and 'organized anarchy' with advisement nnd In perfect good faith. They represent not merely ths foroea baok of the prosent array of forces, but the changes wrought by a century of national development In the late campaign the Chloago platform itood for 'organized anarchy,' the Iiepub- llonn platform for 'organised capital.' On the latter platform, oan the vote that elected Mr. MoKluley lie held together; If I thought so I would not bo here to night I do not think so. On the con trary, 1 think that vote will go to pieces if It be not cemented by something more cohesive than the protective theory of tariff legislation and a Republican flsoal polloy, which, to say the best that can bo said of it, Is yet but a spectre bridegroom at the marriage feast. "The government of the United States has uo right, constitutional or equitable, to levy and collect a dollar of taxation ex cept for its owu support; and, whenever tho Republican party goes to the country on the negation of this proposition, and on that alone, it will go to oertaiu disaster. It was saved In the last olectlon because the lssuo of the public order and of a sound currency stood between the voters and pro tection, the fatlior of paternalism and the godfather of Populism. If the rioh manu facturer cau go to oo tigress and demand legislation In the Interest of his business, so oaa the poor agriculturist : so can the poor mechanic ; and it Is here where the evils of anarchism took their start and havo their fortification. "This is St. Jaokson's day, and with reverent hearts wo are here to celebrate It He was a Democrat. Wo are Democrats. He was for honest money. Wo aro for nonest money. When treason reared Its head In the form of nullification he struok It a withering blow.. When treason, In XiTita wiZrZ" And sTaUn slr"0K ? withering blow. And so again and again shall wo strike it, whenevorand Wherever it appears, until we have wiped demagogues and domngoglsm from the face of the earth and brought our govern ment back to Its original functions, the Just protection of proporty and life, and tho equalization of all mon and all classes In tho pursuit of prosperity and happi ness." Charles S. Hamlin, of Now York, tho assistant seoretary of the treasury, oamo next with an able talk upon "Our National Administration," which was very warmly recelvod. Tho letters of Prosldont Clovoland, Secre tary Morton and Sonator John M. Palmer wore greoted with choors. Mr. Cleveland's lottor, after regretting his Inability to bo prosent, procoeds: "Whon passion aud prejudice threaten ta obscure the meaning of truo Democ raoy and pervert its patriotlo purposes, a reunion of those who aro Democrats for tho sake of principle and the good of their country cannot fall to be inspiring and useful. "On an occasion when tfie charaoter and achievements of Andrew Jackson are oom memoratod tho old landmarks of Demo cratic faith should bo distinctly pointed out At such a time It should bo impres sively taught that Democracy is not dis order; that its regard for popular rights doos not moan tho core of only a portion of our people; that its loyalty to tho con stitution and law doos not mean a potu lant change of the duty of civic obodionce; that its aggresslvonoss does not moan class hotrod and sectional vituperations, and that its success should nover moan more partisan triumph at tho sacrifice of prin ciple nnd patriotism." The enthusiasm was even greater when General Simon B. Bucknor rose to speak for tho state of Kentucky. Tho far west was represented by John P. Irish, of CarUornlu, who spoke lu. ro eponso to tho toast "Our President" Othor spoakors were Virgil P. Kllno ot Ohio, W, L Labbof Iowa, T. J.Mahonoy of Nebraska, J. McD.

It Is Said the Bogart Button May Have an Effect on the Court Should the Ac cused Appear Tor SeBtenoe. Awaiting Developments. The case of Superintendent C. D. Bogart continues to be the leading local topic and bids fair to continue so for some days. The people who went to Pittsburg to attend the trial of the oan are gradually getting back to towu and each new arrival reopens a discus sion of the case Iu some quarter, or another. I he first to return was C. T. Straughn, of the Hesalo. He arrived last night. Johu J. Price, president of the School Board, T. M. Stout, C. F. Holderman and School Director Trexlse followed this morning. T. E. Beddall, Esq., returned with the party as far as Lewlstowu Junction and then went on to Philadelphia. A. W. Schalck, Esq., of Pottsville, reached his home in Pottsville last night. Jim Smith, Jack Toole, School Directors Hanna and Hlggins, Jack Momghan and John A. Rellly, Jr., are also in Philadelphia and will return to-night Superintendent Bogart remained in Pittsburg and expects to return here before Monday. He is paroled inthocustodyof his counsel un til it is decided whether he would enter ball pending the disposition of a motion fora new trial, or a direct appeal to Superior Court. The Superintendent is as firm in his declara tion of innocenco as evor, notwithstanding the result of the trial, and there are many who complain with him as to the Judge's charge to the jury. Should it be shown on appeal that iu charging tho jury tho judge went beyond the scops warranted by the evidence a new trial would be granted by the Superior Court. Tho most important development in con nection with tho case this morning was tho recoipt of the following dispatch : "I'lTTsncno, Jan. 8. A Pittsburg lawyer said to-day that Professor C. D. Bogart, prin cipal of the Shonandoah schools, who was found guilty of assaulting a 13-year-old girl, will likely be sentenced to-morrow, but the punishment will bo lieht; Tho court. whnM eharge was directed against Professor Bogart, has slnco learned that the charge was the result of a camoaigu against the principal. To-day it was shown a button on which was printed "Tho Irish aro after Bogart." It was stated that the button is ono of four or flvo that were issued bearing Bogart's name. It may bo that the campaign button may savo Prefessor Bogart from prison." What effect the result of tho trial will have upon the superintondency of the local sohools has not been stated. Those In authority who havo returned from Pittsburg declined to make any statements in that connection at present, but it is quite certain that the School Board will meet some time during the coming week to take cognisance of the case. Tho School Directors who were at Pittsburg will probably require a day or two to rest after their trip before eutering upon conferences with.. their colleagues on the School Board, so that immediate steps 1n the matter are looked for. Of course the minority membors of tho Board will loso no timo in cither demanding the rosiguation, or re moval of Superintendent Bogart. The only bitch in sight is the quostion whether the Hoard can act logally, should tho superintend deut not resign voluntarily, peudiug an ap peal. This question will be the subject of discussion when the School Directors meet for conference. At Keprlitnnkl'g Arcade Cufe. Hot Tamalse to-night. Hot lunch on Monday morning.
