RNn Against Russell.
BosToE, Sept. l7-Henry Cabot Lodge
presided over the Republican state con
vention, which met at fremont Temple
yesterday. There were PAS out of l,269
d delegates present. In assuming the chair
Mr.. Lodge made an extended speech, in
" hich he traversed the whole range of ma
tjonal and state issues. He particularly
called attention to the free silver tendency
Of the Democratic party, and said: vote
for Governor Russell is vote for free sill
YER for Democratic victory in Massachu-
sets this year will be taken to mean that
Massachusetts prefers the Democratic parry
with free silver to the Repu blican party
without it, A vote for Governor Russell
means free trade, not amendments to the
tariff of 1890. not free raw materials for
the benefit of New England, but naked
free trade.
Those "Amisble Young Men"
The amiable young men whom they
elected to congress last fall talk as if they
could control their party on this matter.
They make the same mistake as the fly on
the wheel. They do not make the wheel
go round. The wheel goes round and
carries them with it through dust and
mud alike. They will all vote sooner or
later for free-silver speaker; and they
can give no more powerful aid to the free
silver cause than by so doing, for it is
the speaker who makes committees who
leads the party and who shapes legisla-
ton" He closed with vigorous defense
of the work of the last congress.

silver coinage and demands that every
dollar shall be as good as every other dol
lar; reaffirms fidelity to the American sys-

Tho organization OF this company is the first

named to furnish tho metropolitan district
with what they believe to be the only adequate
system OF rapid intern al transpc station. Not
only is New York 10 be connected with Brook
Ign. but the two cities are to be connected with
Jersey City. while the city OF New York Is to
be tunnelled on the east and the west from
Battery Park to Jerome Park. 1t is scheme
that involves the boring OF An UNDERGROUND
passageway moro than forty-two miles long
and large enough throughout its length to &C.
commodate q two-track railroad Of the usual
surface road form and stability. not to mention
tho excavations necessary for terminals and
stations. and tho construction OF elevators

penditure Of IT ore than $50. .0OO, 900 in the ac-
tual construction OF the permanent way and
the purchase OF an outfit
1t should be said. however. tha the orkaniza-
tion covered BY the papers fled yesterday Was
solely for the construction Of the Brooklyn
Now York tunnel. and not until tho Rapid
Transit Commissioners have approved tho tun-
mel plans made for New York city will any or
RsniZation be made to bore the tunnels under
the city. Nevertheless much preliminary work
has been done. and detailed plans have been
made for the most i'm mportant par, OF the work
In all. over $4,000 has been expended in pro-
liminary work. Thus borings have been made
every 800 feet along the routes under tho riv-
ers and at frequent intervals along tho route
in the city. BY which 1t has been learned that
all OF the forty-rwo miles Of tunnel save 2.410
feet in North River and anarrow space In Canal
street, will be through the solid rock.

Probably the most i'm portant statement made
about the plans IL that the New York part Of
the tunnel will be 80 feet below the curb at the
foot OF Whitehall street. and that the section
from the Battery to Union square Will be no
