pie to suffocation tonight, the occasion be-
ing rally under the auspices of the Young
Mems Democratic Club of Massachusetts.
| The distinguished guest of the evening, ex.
| President Cleveland, received long and
hearty cheers as he assembled the platform.
Congressman McAdoo. of New Jersey,
pitched into Quay and the Republican party
as whole. At his conclusion ex-President

with repeated shouts and cheers as he rose
to speak. He said:
We have fallen upon a time when especial
interest is aroused in subjects which seem to
be vital to the welfare or the country. Our
consumers. those OF moderate means and
the poor of the land, are too much neglected
in our national policy. Their life is made
too hard for them, and too much favor is
shown to pampered manufacturers and rich
monopolies.
i A State Of RestIessness Exists.
A condition OF restlessness and irritation
has grown up throughout the country, born
of prevailing inequality and unfairness,
which threatens an attack upon sound cur
rency and which awakens the fear of
thoughtful and patriotic men. Economy in
public expenditure has also become by

and ruthless. have believed that the Dem
ocratic party was right in its position on all

We preach.
Any man who fails to appreciate the i'm
Massachusetts has viewed to little purpose Sc
the movements which have made their i'm
press on our country's history and which
have led our national destiny.
A Galaxy of Political Heroes
On the splendid roster of those here en-
listed in our cause are found the names of
Adams, and Everett, and Andrew, and
Quincy, and Garrison. and Higginscn, and
Pierce, and Eliot, and Hoar, and Goldman,
and William -giving proof that the peoples
cause touched the conscience of Massachu-
sets.
Again their eyes are turned to Massachu-
setts. Young and vigorous Americanism
has watched with pride and enthusiasm its
best representative at the head of your
State Government and those who love true
Democracy have far and wide rejoiced that
one who embodies their principles so truly
and exemplif1es them SO wisely has borne
himself SO nobly. They look to the people
of Massachusetts to recognize the faithful
services of their young Governor and
the manner in which he has up-
held the dignity and honor of their
State before their countrymen everywhere
They look to you, by his election, and by the
election of all the good men and true, who
with him bear the standard of our State De-
mocracy, to demonstrate your steadfastness
in the Democratic cause: They look to you
to give to the National Democracy and the
cause of the people, which it has In charge,
the powerful aid of the still awakened CON
science of Massachusetts. Democrats, men
Of Massachusetts, what shall your response
be?
