dissatisfaction in republican ranks in New York
and even the sublime Beecher had been forced
to say that Federal interference in making nomi-
nations cannot and will not be tolerated. APP
plause.l 1t. behooved every Democrat to stand

field was President and Blaine at the head of the
State Department, their hands were kept out of
Mahonelsm. Applause. The present admin

office TO contribute money to help Malone and
his scaawLgs to repudiate the debt the honest
people wanted to pay.
