secretary of war; Hon. Thomas
b. Reed, speaker of the house Of repre-
sentatives, and Congressman Dingley
and Grenhalge. Among other promi-
nent persons present were the follow

Golf Jr., Congressman Stew
art. Ex-Gov. Cheney. of New
Hampshire; Collector Beard, Gov.
Bracket, Hon. A. E. Pillsbury,
Hon. William E. Barrett, Mayor Hart
and Hon. w. A. Russell. Speaker
Reed received an exceptionally cordial
reception. Hon. Timothy Merrick,
president of the club, presided.
His allusion when introducing Sec
rotary Proctor to the latter's refu-
sal to officially recognize the death of
jefferson Davis was received by the as
semblage with tumultous applause.
Gov. Bracket welcomed the guests to
the commonwealth in neat speech.
Mayor Hart followed and performed a
similar service Oh behalf of the city.
Secretary Proctor was the next
speaker. His speech did not deal
with national affairs at ali, being
devoted chiefly to social "reminiscences.
Speaker Reed followed the secretary
and received an ovation. He said: ITO
tial campaign is very easy, for
whenever this country is aroused,
it always puts itself upon the
side of progress. The test then, not of
Republicanism, but Of Republicans, is
in an otf-year. need not say to an au-
dlence as intelligent as this, that when
ever anything is done in this
country it has to be done by the
Republican party. If a tariff bill
has to be passed, we pass it; if a cur
rency question has to be settled, we set
tie it. The Republican party, declared
MIR. Reed, was not the party Of Massa-
chuSetts or a party of New England
exclusively. 1t was the party of
the whole country. and whatever
the party did, it done for the peoples
greatest good. The tariff bill just
passed by the house was passed with
an unanimity of action on the part
Of Republicans without parallel
in the history of the country.
The committee on ways and
means in the house. he asserted, rep
resented every great interest of the
country. A glance at the names of its
members was enough to show that. Re
chusettS and other places in New
England, Mr.. Reed said there was no
doubt an idea prevailing that under cir
cumstances these might be carried on to
greater advantage. For instance, if
raw material could be had free. That
may be so, but the simplest course
in this world is not always the
safest. Remember that the principle
upon which protection is founded is not
the fostering of a few pet industries.
but the preserving of the American
market to the American people. If you
demand it, you must grant it. If
you believe it for yourselves, you
cannot stand up and disbelieve in
it for others. What you need is not
only the business of to-day, but the
business of tomorrow. What you need
is not a boom, but steady, regular
business. How can you get this
If you shut out from the American
market your own fellow citizens. If the
want stability you must broaden. If
you ask, you must give, and you will
do so. Remember there is no time of
greater danger than after victory. The
enemy then have nothing to lose and
thing to gain; and if you will only
remember the correllative that after a
victory you have everything to lose,
then you will grid on your armor and
push on to battle and show in politics
the soundness of that doctrine of reilg-
ion with which began-the doctrine of
the perseverance of the saints. Con-
gressmen Dingley and Greenhalge and
others spoke.
