The Meeting at BOstOn-RepresentatI
Republicans Come Out Boldly Against
Blaine and Logan-Cheers For CIeve-
land and Bayard-A Convention To
BE Held To shape the Opposition.
BOSTON, June 13.-The old dining room of
Young's Hotel proved too small to hold the
hundreds of Republicans and Independents
who assembled this afternoon in response to
the call of twenty-five hundred to protest
against the nomination of Blaine and Logan
and the convention adjourned to the Meiono-
an, which was packed, many being unable to
gain admission. Ex-Congressman Henry
L. Pierce called the assembly to order and
Colonel Charles r. Goldman, who presided at
last falls State Republican convention, was
made president with President Seelye of
Amherst college, President Elliot of Har-
ward and Henry L. Pierce among the vice
presidents. The meeting was very enthusi-
astic and Colonel Goldman on taking the chair
was cheered Colonel Goldman said: 'sWe
propose not to support the candidate of the
Republican party" After sarcastically refer
ring to the inconsistencies and platitudes of
the Republican platform, he continued: '.But
there are some who could swallow the plat
form if the candidate were not Mr.. Blaine of
Maine. For the first time in the history of
the Republican party man has been nomi-
mated who is believed when in Office to have
used his Office for personal advancement. IN
til now every political party has acted as if it
believed that the presidential candidate
like CAESARS wife should be above suspicion
(great applause). But the man rejected in
two successive conventions has finally been
nominated against all warning and protest."
Every telling point in Mr.. Codman's speech
was greeted with uproarious applause. Other
speeches were made by Rev. James Freeman
Clarke, President Elliot of Harvard, H. Fl.
Faxon, the apostle of prohibition, Colone
T. W. Higginson and others. Some of the
speakers opposed all daIliance with the Dem
ocratic party, declaring that they never
could vote to place that party in power and
advocating the immediate formation of a new
party. Nevertheless the following resolu-
tons were adopted with an overwhelming
unanimity:
Whereas, We met in convention Republicans
and Independents of Massachusetts to take action in
opposition to the nomination of James G. Blaine for
President and John A Logan for Vice President Of
whereas, These candidates were named in absolute
disregard of the reform sentiment of the nation and
represent political methods and principles to which
We are opposed;
Resolved, That it is our conviction that the coun-
try viii be better served By opposing these nomina-
tiong than by supporting them.
Resolved That we look with solictude to the COM
ing nominations by the Democratic party they have
the proper mon; hope they will put them before
the people for election.
Resolved That an executive committee Of one
hundred be appointed with full powers.
Resolved That whatever action be taken by the
Democratic convention, Republicans and indie
pendents direct committee to call convention in
such manner as they may deem expedient after The
Democratic candidates have been nominated and not
later than August to take such further action
to them necessary carry the of this
meeting into practical effect.
A committee of twenty-five was appointed
on invitation of the New York Independents
to attend the convention of the latter on the
18th. During the proceedings the name of
Governor Cleveland was mentioned and re-
ceived hearty and long continued applause, SO
much SO as to leave no doubt as to whom the
convention hoped the Democratic candidate
would be- Mr.. Bayard's name was also re-
ceived with much favor.
