BOSTON, June 13.-The independ~
ents of Massachusetts opposed to the
Republican Presidential ticket met
to-day, Henry L. Pierce calling the
meeting to order. He said the NOM
nations made at Chicago were not
up to the high standard of the Re
publican party. Chas. w. Goldman
was chosen president, vice>presidents
include President Elliot of Harvard,
Julius H. Zely and Samuel Hoar.
| Goldman upon taking the chair criti-
cized the platform of the Republi-
cans because it declared that this is a
nation and not a league of States.
The Democratic party has its oppor-
tunity now. Col. Higgins in a
speech alluded to Governor Cleve>
land of New York, and the refer
ence was loudly a%pplauded. James
Freeman Clark also spoke. The fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, To-day we are met
in conference as Republicans and
Independents of Massachusetts,
to take action and opposition
to the nomination of James
g. Blaine for president and John A.
Logan for vice>president of the Uni
ted States and
WHEREAS, These candidates We're
named in absolute disregard of the
reform sentiment of the nation and
represent political methods and
principles to which we r unalter-
ably opposed,
Resolved, That it is our own con-
viction that the country will be bet
ter served by opposing these nomi-
nations than by supporting them.
Resolved, That we look with sole.
itude to the coming nominations OF
the Democratic party. They have
proper men and we hope they will
put them before the people for elec-
ton.
Resolved, That an executive cons
mittee of one hundred be appointed
With full power.
Rcsolved, That whatever &C.
ton be taken by the Democratic
party in Chicago we Republicans
and Independents direct our commit
tee to call a convention in such a
manner as they may deem expedi-
ent after the Democratic candidates
have been nominated and not later
than Aug. lst and to take no further
action than may seem necessary to
carry Out the sense of this meeting
with practical effect. HOllowell Of
fered a resolution declaring any man
who accepts the Presidential nomi~
nation from the democratic party,
thereby forfeits all claim to Republi-
can support. This was received with
Kisses and finally defeated. Hol
lowell said he could not vote with
Democrats. President Elliot, Of Har-
ward, in a speech, secondlng the
fourth resolution, said: l must con-
TESS it will be only by the dispensa-
ton of providence that the Demo-
cratic party will give US the candi-
date we want. If we put on our
platform their candidate, it will be
better for them and perfectly salts
factory to u.s.; but political
progress is to be only
by conflict of national parties
and as a rule two national parties,
therefore l hope that out of this
meeting there will grow a new party
as one was grown years ago. We
want to found q new party in our
country; a party of national prin.
ciples, and one which looks forward
to a national triumph.
A committee of 100 was appointed,

York to confer with the Independent
Republicans at New York on June
18th. The committee is headed by
Colonel Cadman. Letters from Con-
gresham Lyman and other sympa-
thizers were read.
