Tho gentleman who calls himself an Inde-
dislike or disapprobation of the Republican
candidate, to vote for Grover Cleveland, is not
to help elect president of tho United States;
.ho is only to make possible the consummation
'or political crimo by which the choice of a
minority of this people may DO wrongfully
He will tell you That he thinks your candidate
has done wrong, or offered to do wrong, or
madc suggestion of wrong, and yet, can
there bea c4mc az ainst human society so great
as the robbery OF 5000 COO of American free
men of their right to vote and as the seating,
of n rs'lrPer in the Presidential chair? made
thus statement in Boston at tho beginning of
the campaign, and was met by an Indepen-
dent Boston paper with the statement that
was talking about an issue ten years old; that
was going back into the past to rake up for
gotten questions.

Mr.. Hoar-Wcll, how about Rhode Island?

Mr. ltoar then told in graphic manner tho
story OF the murder OF Matthews and the Copi-

chnsctts working people, - y -
suppose yoti have aconsitlerable number Of
forciGal- born ci5izons here--from Germany,
from Canada, but most of all from Ireland.
These men are our brethren; they are Amer
cau citizens.
When it is proposed to have navy by which
we can protect their rights when they 80 home
70 visit their relations in tho Old World, and
when undertake to maintain and improve
and perfect the policy which keeps up the ratio
OF their wages here, upon which the comfort
Of their homes is to depend. i think it issl a;
pretty important present lsslle wllcth we are,
to be encountered Ivy turty fraudulent white
democratic votes i'll the house of Representatives
pres1snta tliaif as t ,:si,rper by forty four
electoral votes: [Applause.]
Mir. IIoar then proceeded to 4 somewhat de..
tailed discuss SION of the tariff question: treat
ing it substantially as in former Speeches, and
illustrating it by figures which he has used be-
fore.
We arc met to-day by our old adversary, the
Democratic party, in the same manner in
which it has met lis i'll, years past. When the
question was whether slavery should he ex=
tended into tho 1'crrtorieo, they met
gumens by calling Abraham Lincoln baboon.
N4en VIC had the question whether the amend
mcnt. to the Constitution should Be MANI
famed. they answered by saying Grant was
druukarl We had the qucstian whether
elections Shnnld be free in the South; and theys
a'lsw"r,aE'lS lY making all manner Of charg-
es against Garfield. But tho American peo-
Pile knew better. Now tho Democratic party
is tryi:.r !ic sa':lc thin;: again. / think the

the chlr"cte: of a Presidential eandidate [Ap-

Which declared, when these things were - resh.
G, Blaine were the .xilest set OF poltiSal asaasa

that sentiment now, Notwithstanding any recent
recession to:their number. [Laughterl
In closing, Mr. Hoar said: think that tho
Union is safcr with the men who saved it than.
with those who sought to destroy it. ( think
liberty and equality are better assured in the
hands OF tho men who abolished slavery than
in the hands of mon who tried to preserve it.
ttrink that the wages of tho American work
mans ltene, are better of in the charge. ot the
men who achieved observation-disclosures ofsAmel :

mighty industries, than they are IN the hands
of the men who l,aIe beerIstrving to pull oWn
