MR.. GOoDMCII's SPEECH.
Nr. Goodrich pointed with pride to
the pure, sagacious and conservative ad-
ministration OF President Harrison; to
the growing commerce OF the country
under reciprocity with our American
ueghbors. induced by the matchless
foresight OF Secretary Blaine, and to a
navy already ranking with those OF the
other great maritime powers Of the
world.
I'VE rest with Speaker Reed upon his
announcement that hereafter obstruc-
iiOn 10 legislation, for distractions sake,
shall not defeat the transaction OF pub
lie business, and that the duty OF leg
islative body is to legislate."
The speaker then reviewed the tariff
question at length and spoke in high
praise OF the Mckinley bill.
Upon the subject OF silver he said:
The Republican party always rises to
its highest flight and surest victory
when general principal underlies a
conflict. That contest Is hero. Let us
take our stand right. An honest dollar
tor an honest debt. We applaud the
courageous utterances OF President Hur-
rison in his recent speech ut Albany"
His attack on the State administration
was especially severe. He said: 1--WE
sorrowfuify behold the Governor of this
great State, as he stands like a modern
Colossus, one foot in the executive
chamber at Albany and the other in the
senate chamber at Washington. his
hands frasptng the lever of the
Democratic machine which he
controls by filling the public
Offices with his subservient tools, his
eyes greedily fixed on the presidential
,cAaiT, in which he will never sit; his
highest flight in oratory II am Demo-
cTt, pandering to the liquor interests;
playing with the question OF honest
money cheating the laboring man by
debating for years the Australian bal
lot system, en- which their protection
depends, until he could emasculate it
with a plaster; giving the people mere
husks instead OF the corn OF the actual
system; defeating all attempts at
enumeration, obstructing tho entire
legislation OF the State to prevent an
investigation OF his partisan water rats
IN The canal rising to no higher level
'Aa1 u ward politician. Verify the
coming contest is Of dillism grated on
Iammanyism against the political con-
science OF the voters OF this common
wealth, and on such an issue we shall
sulier no defeat"
