Deserved Praise of mr.. Reed.

At the great meeting of Lynn, Mass, Re-
publicans Wednesday night Mr.. Henry Ca
bot Lodge, in his letter from Washington,
thus speaks OF Mr.. Keed:
"We have been passing over a legislative
desert during the past few years of Demo-
cratic rule, and it has fallen to the Republi-
can party, as 1t always does, to deal with
the great questions on which the people of
this country have been asking in vain for
action. The first promise that we made was
to clear, the parliamentary track, in the
grown up aud blocked it. need not say to
you that this great service to the country has
been performed by the Republicans OF the
House under the leadership of the Speaker,
the Hon. Thomas B. Reed. [Cheers and re.
newed cheering.P
Hon. John d. Long, ex-governor Of Massa-
chusetts, was among the speakers.
He desired them not to forget that to
Speaker Reed renewed cheersl was due the
fact that Mr.. Lodge and his associate Repre-
sentatives in Congress were able to accom-
plish so much for the interests not only of
the party. but of the whole country. ANY
one who had ever sat in the halls Of Con-
gress would remember that its deepest dis
had been openly carried on. The work
which Speaker Reed had done is the one
great reform of the present decade, the great
est since the downfall of slavery and the
close of the civil war. 1t was Speaker Reed
who made it possible for our navy to be
built; 1t was he who had stood by and seen
that our Representatives did the duty for
which they were sent to Washington. The
speaker reviewed the past of the Republican
party and the work still before 1t and urged
that 1t was the party for the young man with
his country's welfare at heart TO turn to.
