"MY DEAR SIR: My engagements here
will deny me the pleasure of being present
at the dinner of the Democratic Assoca-
ton of Massachusetts on the anniversary of
the birth of Washington. Nothing could
be more fit at the present time than to
commemorate that day. 1t was the Father
of his Country, first in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts OF his countrymen,
who set the original example regarding
a third term in The Presidential office. He
made that memorable precedent as aguide to
all successors. and as the unwritten law Of
tie American people. He did so in the
light of prevalent fear in the minds Of
the most ardent Of patriots, who had
achieved our National independence and
created our. system of free Government,
that indefinite re-eligibllity would degen-
crate into practical life-tenure The vast
power acquired by the Federal Government
over the elections by its office holders, its
patronage, the money 1t levies, and its va
rious forms of corrupt influence, has devel-
oped this danger, until it darkens the
whole future of our country. In the
choice between the Republic and the EN-
pire, we must believe that the peop'e will be
true to their ancestry and to mankind"
