that state, addressed large audience to.
night OF Fanneil Hall. II was very en-
thusiastio gathering, and Mr.. Reed WIS
| given rou9 sing welcome. Chairman
Burdette OF the Republican state COM
mittee, opened the meeting, introducing
Hon. Jonathan A. Lane, president Of the
Boston Merchants Association, as the
presiding officer. Mr.. Lane made brief
speech, touching upon the tariff question
ano then introduced Mr.. Reed as the
first speaker. MIR. Reed expressed graft
fication with the reception given him,
saying il was great satisfaction to any
man to know that the people of the
United States were behind his associates
and him. Any amount of individual
courage may be greatly strengthened by
the addition Of the courage OF other
people. The strength OF nation is the
strength of ita united people. What ter
rides the wrong-doers is o union OF good
men.
Continuing, he said: "All progress is
over the ruins OF old institutions. Men
are entrenched behind the use and want
of the lives, and, being SO entIenehsd, fight
desperately against any one who carries
the breastworhs; and IL you look at some
of the newspaper headlines you will see
what the feelings were of some gentlemen
whose entrenohmellts were being carried.
1t is amazing to notice the history OF tie
House OF RepIepresentstives and of
Congress to sac how in detail is carried
out this pridciple-shRt when things are
to be done, the Republican party does
them. The great struggle which has been
made by the Democratic House for years
has been not TO bs economical in the OK.
penditures Of the government, but to cut
down the sum total Of appropropriations
They have been striving in every way
to pile up the surplus not merely by
taxation, but by pRFsimony in their action
in the expenditure OF money. SO long as
they could point 10 the cloggiug Of bust
ness, which results from the storing Of
money ia the treasury they seemed to be
happy, but now they are busily engaged
in showing inst the surplus has dlssp-
pearsd. They are unable to be coz
tented, either with o surpIus or without
one. There is no douot but what the
expenditures of the government are about
to approach its receipts, but any man
would make mistake If he believed that
1t was in any way a result Of extraya-
gance or carelesSnass with the public
money, that dollar has oesn appro.
prlated by either House which does
not carry upon j. the stamp
of the necessities o. the government; and
nobody who does not carefully consider
this matter can ever reelizs the righteous
action Of the Republican party in both
House and Senate, and how much II has
cost them to be economical in true and
proper sense. There has been advertise
ment broadcast OF this surplus and every
human ne q and want has been set
together to Try to get money ont of tie
treasury for other than public purposes,
but not one of these schemes has been
auceesstui. All the expenditure has been
Legitimate, lust and proper. We shall ex-
pend nearly our Income.
Weshall also reduce taxation to the ex-
tent OF $50 900, 900 in addition. One great
element Of expenditure is pension legis-
lation, which is not understood in New
England, and the character OF il is not
fully appreciated. In no other subject
can any man see the greatness aud d.
versity OF thought that there Is in this
great republic. With us the SOLDIER Is
comparatively content with what he has
received, and with what is promised him
In the near future. But in the west there
exists different feeling. These stories
about vast surplus have set men wild
| with the idea of 8 service pension which
would bring emolument to every man in
the service.
"We have had TO meet not only the
| contention Of chose who are paTsimonious
and not willing to do what was fair to the
soldier, but thoBe who wished to do such
| things as with the present revenues of
the government, are impossible without
bankruptcy ana ruin. 1t is win those
that the Republican party grapples with
this question, and solves it with that
measure Of justice which is satisfactory to
the whole poo lie Of the country. so have

Wherever the necessities of the gov,

ideas. On the Pac tic coast and in the
silver states the wGs o wild demand tha
