HoAR OK THE SOUTH.
Senator Hoar. who was permanent
Chairman, made n long address on the
issues OF the day, taking practically the
same view Of Southern questions as Sem
ator sherman. lie denied that the Re-
publican party or any person TO whom il
had given it's confidence had any hatred
for the South, or would seek 20 keep alive
any sectional feeling, and stated that the
better element at the South was already
beginning to realize this. Her people now
gratefully acknowledge the noble Glenn
ency and magnanimity Of Gen. Grant, but
in all of it Gen. Grant was fully sustained
ana supported by the Republican party.
A CLAW GLovED IN VELVET.
"We have been touched by the SYM
pathy for the old warrior OF men whom
he conquered, but is 1t too much TO say
that the hand which has clasped that az
the dying Grant has given and has taken
too much honor ever thereafter TO stuff
ballot-boX or shoot n v0ter?" In speak
ing of the administration of President
Cleveland, Senator Hoar said: 81 would
speak with all personal kindness OF the
President. like some things his admin
istration has done, especially its tirmness
and courage in protecting the rights Of
Indians.
THE ANTI-CHINEsE OUTRAGEs.
Sin the name OF the whole manhood Of
the country | would call upon the Execu-
tive TO suppress and punish with the
strongest hand the outrages committed
and threatened against inohensive
Chinese, and assure him that in such
case he will have the fullest support of
the people of Massachusetts without dis
tinction of party"
In speaking of the Presidents civil SER
vice policy, the speaker said: 81 do not
know what revised version some OF our
modern reforming friends may adopt, but
l can scarcely think of better illustra-
tion Of the parable of the laboreF, who
said, Il go, SIR and went not, than an adj
ministration which says, Civil service
reform should be In good faith carried
OUT and makes Higgins, of Maryland, its
appointment clerk"
THE PLATFORM.
The platform adopted demands the sus-
pension of silver dollar coinage, the sup
preston of polygamy. endorses the civil
service act and continues as follows:
"The Republican party has heartily and
deeply rejOiced in the manifestations OF
sympathy and good feeling at the South
called forth by the death Of our great sol
dier and patriot, and as Republicans we
wish for complete and perfect reeoncilia-
tion between the sections. To have such
reconciliation the results Of the war must
be accepted everywhere I'm good faith.
One result has not been accepted-the
negro, enfrauchised by the war ls largely
deprived of his privileges as a voter.
ELECTIONS DECLARED MoCKERIEs.
''In certain States the elections are
mockery. The returns are fraudulent
and the voting is farce. If wo were to
be silent as to this crying evil we should
be false TO all the traditions and princi-
pies OF our party, as well as to those of
the American government and American
freedom. Against this great wrong so
dangerous and so un-American, yet vim
dicated aud maintained by successive
Democratic majorities in the House OF
Representatives, we propose to agitate and
70 protect. We appeal against 1t TO pub.
lie opinion both North and South. We
shall seek redress in an aroused public
conscience and in proper legislation. We
shall not be content until the wrong is
crushed out and justice done.
AID FOR EDUCATION.
. "As one specific measure tending 20
remedy this evil, we urge upon Congress
the policy OF making liberal grants in aid
Of primary education in the recent slave
states. As we protest against the sup
preston OF the negro vote, so also in the
same spirit do we protest against the cleo
tion frauds countenanced and fostered by
the Democratic party In certain cities
North. and we denounce the action Of
President Cleveland in pardOning a
criminal like Lieut., Mullen, because in 30
doing he directly encourages and con-
tinues these dangerous crimes against
