This makes It appear that the Al- llancemen are very greatly In earnest. II means that it is "demands" first and the parties, Democratic or Republican, afterwards.- It means a big shake-up for somebody, in the next campaign, for the chief demand, what may be termed the "demand of demands," Is that for the snb-tRasury plan or scheme.

The President In reply thanked them for their cordiality and the impressive nees of their invitation and said it was very gratifying to him to feel that they had come so far for such a purpose. Their invitation called for serioua consideration oa his part, but he could not now tell what he would be able to do at the time of the expo sition. He said he knew he would be reoeived with kindness, as he bad re cently had very conclusive evidence on that point. He regretted that it was not his privilege to pass through North Carolina on his recent trip. He continued: "No,I cannot promise at this time, indeed I am very oharry about promises. Public men have been severely criticised for making promises they could not perform and I have mads a strict rule not to make promises. I here is muoh doubt about the future mate of publio business for me to antio pate what I may be able to do.
