: reason attached to it, but he has proclivites t

in that way. He says he knows nothin

/. Elliott am very fond of Harvard College;
think Ii is the first place of public education
in the country, and an honor to the country
President Eliot's administration of 1t mas beef
5 very vigorous, very successful and very able
t but President Eliot apparently has not Studio,
! the tariff question with the care of some o
the men whose business it affects. Here, how
| ever, President Eliot free trader though HI
may be, asks the republicans of Massachusetts,
TO join the democratic party with Mr.. Cleve
land, whatever he may be- at its head, AID Mr.
) Hendricks close behind him. 1 think of the
couplct Of the poet:
o, star-eyed Science, hast thou wandered there
TO wave us back these tidings Of despair!
They give us, gentlemen, a number of rca-
sons, sometimes individually for they are a
curious collection of persons of very different
Ideas. They give us reasons for their oppOs-
ION To Mr.. Blaine, each one something differ
ent from the rest and the Boston Dailg Adyey-
tiser, was delighted to see, yesterday morn
ing, as the delegation Of forty were about to
start for New York, reminded them with great
earnestness not to attempt any declaration of
principles of their own laughter and APP
| plause for, said the Adgerfjser. ''If Won do
you will sure to break up" Why, there is
| Col. Lyman, who is referred to as criticisinr
| Gen. LOgan's illiteracy. He is as great a pro-
tcction'st- as anybody in this ROOM He and
President Eliot and Charles Francis Adams
| Jr., never could agree on a platform on that
| subject unless they took the democratic plat
form, which is capable Of almost any conslruc-
| ZION, each giving it different private intcrpre-
tatiOn. Then ne AdtcrtiScr said in its issue Of
last Friday or Saturday, Think what seems to
me about the poorest thing should think the
Worcester friends of DclanO 4. Goddard
would be sorrowful when they saw what had
happened in the seat he had once honorcd.
II said, in commenting upon Mr.. Blane's mag
niiccnt letter Of acceptance Applause which
hope every inan in this room has read or will
read. and then say whether there Is Il word or
a sentence in it that he does not believe to be
true-in commenting upon that they haven't a
criticism to make upon a single avowal of
principles, purposes, or desire on Mr.. Hlanes
part; but they said Mr. Blaine "yOided the
principal issue in this campaign, AID that was
his own personal character Laughter Well,
now, my friends, | undertake to say that |
division of this great American people upon |
the issue of the personal qualities of a candi-
date is gnOminious and will be futile ZAP
plause. Parties in this country divide upon
great lines of public policy. | am not going
to defend Mr.. Blaine against attacks upon his
private character or upon his qualities as a
man or statesman. He was confirmed after
everything that anybody has to say against
him; he was confirmed for secretary of
state by the unanimous vote of the United
HNHseNi iNPub44SsAho anu QtllOtIdto.

A MANLY CAMPAIGN.
This campaign, fellow citizens, is in the
hands of the manly portion of this country,
winch thank Heaven is a very large portion
Of 1t. III is not to be carried on or Influenced |
10 any extent by the vulgar ribaldry of sour
rilous newspapers. Applause The people
Of this country are divided into parties for the
purpose of securing good and just government
lpon such lines OF policy as commend them
{ or,1t ba,, =, ,
'ility of making up a party on the issue o.
whether they dislike Mr.. Blaine. see some
II them are doubtful of the wisdom of such
movement, and are asking whether they had (

ocular organization. | think that would be .,
he path OF wisdom so far as you can find any I
'isdom in the paths they are following WHY, J.
nagine party founded on the dislike Of any y
artioular individual What would become OF i

THE SOUTHERN QUESTION. Sei
low long, fellow-citZens, if we deliver this VA
ntry over to the democratic party, will it
Q to get back again. They seem TO think ser
this is little pastime they may indulge in AZ
they will come back again. Since the war 10
have had the ''solid SOUTH confronting us. ser
ough there have been sometimes signs of u
ding here and there. What has been the 10
lnd of the improvement in the southl Two tnl'
gs. One is, that through the abolition of "A,
cry, which was purely agricultural in tioi
ition, they are getting in some southern cla'
es diversity of industries, and their in inv
SIS to that extent are the same as those of con
people OF Worcester. You do not find them by
tlanta and in various places in Alabama Ma
rgla ana tennessee nj all grained with the ctrl
myth of the democratic platform on the tior
ect Of frec-tradc. They are protesting the
nst It, The other is the continued success tain
lie republican party. It's hold upon The ma Z.
and the popular vote has made them feel Jon
they can not practice these deeds of fraud Pos
violence by which they have deprived the dep
red voters OF their rights without exciting | and
ling at the north that is fatal 10 their ma s.
n success and whenever you give way on 81, .
point before the victory is finally accom- cam
lcd the exceptional cases at Copiah and obey
where would become the rule in the "Solid 8.
H." Don't you al. know that there are three ousl
$ mere at this daY-Louisiana Mississippi No.
South Carolina-.hat have a clear and de. june
majority of republican votes, and that 10.
presidential election, if Cleveland could be der
en-, would turn upon the taking of these NeD
from those who own them by fraud and BY
)! No intelligent man but knows that the
olican party has a clear majority OF the BIZ
oral vote of the United States, and Mr.
land, If he gets into the presidents chair
go there with the knowledge that his title
upon such murders and tissue ballots as
lste and fancy Of some OF the people in
three states may choose. Now, when our n
pendent friends ask us what great differ sens,
can it make, what can q president do to on I
ress these outrages, it should be said that ii.

against these things will make 18th.
