Republican Rally at Worcester.
WORCESTER. Oct. 2S.-The Republicans held
a grand rally here this evening. There was a
torchlight parade of mounted men and torch
light procession, with displays of fireworks
Mechanics Hall was crowded with an audience
assembled to hear speeches from Hon. j. G.
Blaine and G. f. Hoar Mr., H0ar spoke
briefly, defending the administration and the
Republican party against the attacks of their
opponents.
Mr. Blaine discussed the great issue which
marks the dividing between the Republican
and Democratic parties 1t is not the finance
question, for most of the Democrats and not a
few of the Republicans are unsound on this
question; nor the tariff, for some Democrats
are not free traders. The great dividing issue
is found in the three new amendments to the
Constitution. The Republicans recognize and
maintain the duty of the government to pro-
tect the rights of citizenship. This was his
theme. He spoke of the care with which the
English protect the rights of their citizens,
showed that our Government never hesitates to
protect the rights of our citizens abroad, and
cited the cases of Martin Kosta and Mr.. How
ard in Cuba. Then he spoke of the assaults
made on the rights of citizenship in recon-
structed states, where they are trampled OIL by
a systematic conspiracy to suppress the rights
of certain class of citizens. In this case it is
the imperative duty of the Government to pro-
tect the rights of citizenship, but the Democrats
deny its right to do SO. The Democratic party
is responsible for the disturbed condition of the
South. The Democrats of the North can stop
these disturbances. can name fifty Demo-
Gratis whose word could end the troubles,-yes,
1 can name ten, two of them from New York,
whose weight of character and weight of in
fuence might give peace to the country. Let
them speak, andlthere will be peace. g

RrrUALIsM has been occupying the Episco-
pal convention in New York for the past few
days and the question has called forth much
notable discussion. The subject was pre-
sented by the report of the committee on
cauons recommending the adoption of a can
on forbidding the use of incense; the placing
or carrying or retaining crucifx in any part
of the place of public worship; the elevation
Of the elements in the Holy Communion in
such manner as to expose them to the view of
people as objects toward which alteration is
to be made; and, finally, any act of or to-
wards the elements in the Holy Communion,
such as bowings, prostrations and genu-
fexions. Rev. DR.. Geo. Leeds of Maryland
argued that the doctrine of eucharistic ador-
alton was not warranted by the Scriptures.
DR.. DeKoven, President of Racine College,
spoke in opposition and his address was re-
markable exposition of the views of those
who are unwilling oppose ritualistic practices.
The discussion was carried on at intervals
until Tuesday afternoon when a vote was
reached and the canon was adopted. The
clerical vote stood SO in favor of the canon,
2 against and 1 divided. The lay vote, "a
in favor, 3 opposed. divided.
