guine o he success of the undertaking, t
but apprecate Its magnitude and the dii
ficulties which they will have to encoun
ter, and feel their inability to carry for

port of the citizens of the State at large.
By a combiriation of forces great under- t
takings assume minimum proportions, (
and d.fliculties that seem insurmount- t
able when approached with a determina

miraculous rapidity.

of his views about national politics to
day to a reporter of the IBaltimore Sun
at Spesutia Island, Md.. where Clevo:
land had come to shoot diucks.
"What, in your opinion," lie was
asked, "should be the main issue of the
Democratic party in appealing t h
votecrs of the country." t h
"All the evidence," replied the Ex
President, "of' what the- people want
- agd what, they expect of the "party
wbuld 'seem elearly to indicate that
tariff reform must be thle issue if we
are to go Into a winning fight."
"What do you consider the best plan
of attacking the tariff in Congress ?"
"My ide a has been that a general bill
would be the best method, but I tam
willing to dlefer to those who are on the
ground a nd w ho have the battle in Con
g ress to light. I hope the Springer
f'ree wool bill will pass, and am also in
favor of any other measure which will
lighten the burden of taxation now
resting upon the people. In fiact, I
favor any mecasuire in the direction or
genuine tariff reform."
"What are the prosp)ects of t,he Dem

"I have but one opinion on that sub

CITADEL ACADEMY BURNED.
tudents Will Not be Interrupted--Catlets
In Roper Hospital.
CHAnLEsTON, S. C., March 14.-At 10
clock this morning the entire roof of
he main building of the Citadel Acad
my was discovered in Ilames. The ca
lets. about. 140 in number, were in the
ection room. The alarm sounded and
s the news spread through the cit y in
ialf an hour 10,(XX) spectators were as
embled on the square watching the
onllagration. The origin of the fire is
io known. It started under the roof,
nd by the timne the alari was sound
d the top of the entire quadrangle was
n flames. The tire department, man
ged to cookine the llames to the tl:jrd
md second floors.
The entire roof on the mai building,
ogether with the ul.er floor, is wreck
d; the sectind tier of bed rooms is bad
y daniaged. Tie first gallery dormi
ory and I lie ground gallery are con
>aratively uninjured. The last wing,
ii which are the mess hall, second room
nd chapel, and the new West wing, in
vhich are olicers' quarters, are un
ouched.
The only accident occurred to Cadet
Aivingston, of Columbia, who was stf
ocated by smoke whilelti ying to get. his
it out or his room. le was dragged
ut by his comrades, however, and is
ot seriously hurt. The cadets saved
iost of their personal effocts, and man
god to save Superintendent Coward's
flects. Col. Coward was the only of
cer living in the main building. The
[brary and all the instruments of the
nstitution were saved, as were most of
he quartermaster's stores. After the
reman obtained control of the lire the
adets were furloughed for an hour or
wo.
Dinner was served in the mess hall,
,nd LO-night retreat wis sounded in
lie Roper hospital, a large and commo
ious building, which was rebuilt after
he earthquake and has never been. oc
upied since. Some of the cadets are
'so quartered at the Porter Academy.
There will be no interruption to the
tudies. It is expected that in the
ourse of a week or so the corps will be
ble to get back into the Citadel build
ag in temporary domitories. The re
airing will, however, take several
ionths. The insurance amounts to
152,000, of which $32,000 is on the main
ullding, which was dainaged. On
earning of the fire, almost every house
ni the city was placed at the disposal
if the cadets, but the officers decided
o keep the corps together as above in
licatcd.
The lire was extinguished by dark,
utisevera! engines are still playing on
he ruins. The damage is a good deal
nore severe as to personal property and
ixtures than was first supposed. A
,reat many of the cadets lost their en
ire kits, saving only the fatigue uni
orms they were wearing at the time.
At 6:30 to-night the assembly was
)eat and the corps of cadets marched
lown to their new quarters in the
loper hospital, where they will remain
intil t he Citadel can be occupied again.
It is thought that the $32,000 insur
mnee on the main building will restore
t. If it does not the city of Charleston
vill make up the dc-iciency, even if it
is to be raised by private subscrip
ion.
The first orders read to the cadets to.
iight were that there woild be no
urth(r interrupt*on in their studies.

and you will permit, ie to, repeat thal
little story that I once heard, which per
haps illustrates the point that I am try
ing to make: There was a general liv
ing In Boston who had lost a limb in the
service of his country in the war of 1812,
le was som,what vai-, it is true, and
he supposed that, everybody knew th(
occasion of his lameness. lie was pret

cane along one day a youinig dude of a
fellow, perhaps a Republican [laughter),
who thought lie would have some fun al
the expense of the old hero who was
hobbling along, and lie stepped up tc
him, with a conceited sort of air, anl
said: "rieneral, what makes you lame;
what occasioned your lanieness; was il
a swelling upon your leg?'" And th(
six-loot hero of 1, 12 turned round t(
him, with am air of dis siibt and dhsdain
and lie said to him: "Young man. vot

[Lau--hier and applauc.1 I tell ou;

The Senator then spoke at soni

Ta king up the subject of' taxation,
Senator IIill said: The Dea iocratic par.

suppoert!ing the Governiient is mlsquot
ing the D emc,mrati2 creedt, and is not
true D emiocrat. We believe that th<
power of taxation must be usetd for thn
p)ublic and niot p)rivate piurlioses. Never
theless it has been estabilishied by a lone
custom that the best way to meet thi
expenses5 of'thie Government is by a tar.

chiaui e that. But, because of that mios1
excellent way of' iaising the necessar1

we (10 not believe that a single dollat

to meet actual needs of the G;overnment,

I know there are those who seek to
stir up strife and party division. I know
there are men who seek alliance with
third parties. But I beg to ask these
men, if they, in the maim, agree with
Democratic principles, what do they gain
by thus forming themselves into third
parties. creativ_- division in our or-ani
zation? Divisions means defeat; unity
means the success of these principles.
My friends, I look at what is at stake.
III this Comin, election, we cain collie
very near, if we meet with reasonable
success, to the control of the Senate of
the country. We can keep the Deno
cratic Iiounc of Representatives with us.
You can g_ive us a Democratic executive,
and it, after four years of' power. you
have any complaints of the Democratic
party because it !as not accomplished
all that you thought it should accom
plish, then you have a perfect right to
turn against it, and turn it out of power;
but n1ot until then. I Applause.|
1 know a great deal is said by our op
pononts about an American poliev. It
is a plausible catechimii. Tlie Ameri
can policy vhiih we want, to maintain
in this country is that which -.ives
American tr(etimn their rih . We
want an administration that respects
our rights abroad and maintains them at
hoie. Let Us stand by the old princi
ples of government, and not run after
new and untried things. In the Ian
guage of another, a d0inguished pre
decessor of mine in the government of'
my own State "W e must build up a
niew prosperity upon the old foundations
of American self-governiment; carry
back our political systemis towards the
ideas of their authors; make govern
mental institutions simple, frugal-med
dling little with the private concerns of
individuals, aiming at fraternity aniong
ourselves and at peace abroad, and trust
ing to the people to work out their own
prosperity and happiness.'' This is not
only true Democracy, but it is common
sense, and upon these principles we can
safelv stand.
Senator Iill then reviewed political
aflairs in the States oi Connecticut and
New York. In the former, lie said, the
Republicans have kept control by a sys
tem of' representation unworthy of a
place in a free country. The State is
just as much in ineed of home rule as is
Ireland today. The same was the case
in New York until the recent Deimo
cratic victory. I gave it to you for
what it is worth. You have seen the
last of tepublican Legislatures in the
Enipire State. [ Enthusiastic applause.]
A word as to the future. The skies
tire bright, in my opinion for Democratic
success. It is not essential who the
candidate of the Democratic party may
be. The great point is to achieve a vie
tory for Democratic piiciples'in Novei
ber next. I pledge you the State of
NewN York's electoral vote For the Demo
uratic candidate. [Great applause.1 I
necd not say to you how important that
vitory will be in the future of this
country. As the country goes this fall,
iln my judgment, so will its control re
maim for several years. If we are true
to our party, we shall be true to our
country. I have no patience with that
set of, men who are constantly speaking
in favor of' non-partisaniship. I believe
in a bold. aigressive and courageous
partisanship. I would exert every in
fluence of1'th p-iry organization to build
uip and not bt little my party.

a CLEVELAND'S HIGH CONCEPTION OF
THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE.
Tho (rt a'; Domocratic Leader Waives
y Poraonal (onaiderations and Consents
to Itecome a Candidate Before the Con
ventiou-1in Letter in FulL
Mi iwA~Ui;, Wis., March 14.
(eneral Edward S. Bragg, author of the
famous phrase, " We love him for the
enemies he has made," has been urging
'x-President Cleveland to make public
an avowal of his position in connection
with the approaching Democratic
Presidential convention. Under date of
March 5th he wrote a letter to Cleveland
f rom Pond Du Lac containing the fol
lowing paragraph:
"Tle danger to the public interests
which the failure of the Democratic
iarty would involve seems to me now
to reqifire the open avowal of your will
lguess to submit to any service to
whii: your party may assign you. Many
entertaiti tear that vou may decline
turlher public duty, which none but you
cnn effectually remove, and your voice
Nwill be cverywhere hear( with benefit
-and effect. I belicve your usefulness to
the nation niay be greater now than
i ever in the past, to carry to victory the
cause of tarilt reform, and to restore the
r blessings of' uood government to our
people; and as your fellow-Democrat
and fellow-citizen 1 ask you to say to
your party and people that your name
will be presented to the National Demo
cratic Convention as a candidate for its
nomination to the Presidency, and that
, you will accept that nomination it the
e convention shall make it, and again
undertake the duties of President if the
e party shall, as I believe they will,
;, choose you for that. ollice.1
t In reply the ex-President wrote as
r folows:
LAEW~ 0wooi, N. .J., March 9, 1892.
Sliot. Idward 1L. Bragg.
s DEAl Si It: Your letter of the 5th
inst. is received. I have thought until
now that I might continue silent on the
subjects which, under the high sanction
o your position as my fellow Democrat
i and iellow citizen, and in your relation
r. as a true and trusted friend, you present
r. to me. i, ini answering your questions,
e L might ontly consider my personal
5. desires and my individual ease and com
d Irt, my response would be promptly
made, and witiout the least reservation
or ditliculty. Iut if you are right in
supi.osing that the subject is related to
the duty I owe to the country and to my
lart.y a icondition exists which makes
suih private and personal considerations
t vnirely i .levant. I cannot, however,
refrain from declaring to you that my
l experience in the great otlice of Presi
d dent of the U tnted States has so im
e pressed ile with the solemnity of the
Ie trust, and its awful responsibilities that
I cannot bring myself to regard candi
dacy for the place as something to be
IS WO by personal strife and active self
assertion. I have also an idea that the
p)residency is prominently the people's
"i olice, and I have been sincere in my
coitant advccacy of effective participa
tion ill politicid allairs on the part of all
our citizens. Consequently I believe
the people sioild be heard in the choice
ot their party candidates and that the
i theniselves should make nominatious as
. dire:-lias is consistent, with open fair
h. and ill p)art,y organization and meLhods.
s I speak of these things solely for the
- u oeofavsn you that my concep~
non101 of the nature of' the presidential of
t' ien andl my conviction that the voters
oif our party should1( be free in the selec
tion 01their cail(lidlateslpreclude the pos
e, sibility of' my leading and pushing a self
Sseekin canvass for the presidential
Il nomination even i I had a desire to be
e again a canidate. Relieving that comn
s Ilete supremacy of Democratic princi
y' lcs means mecreased national prosperity
I and Increased happiness of' our people,
II am earnestly anxious for the success
,of the party . I am confident success is
st,ill within oum reach, but I believe this
Is a time ter Democratic thoughtfulness
-and dhellberation, not only as to candi
'dates but coinceriiing p)arty action upon
<lues5tions5 oi imimense interest, to the
patriotlc andl intelligent voters of the
land who watch for assurance of' safety
c as the priec of their confidence andl sup
i or t. Yours very truly.
