1--WE have fallen upon q time when es-
pecial interest is aroused among our people
in subjects which seem to be vital TO the
welfare of the country. Our consumers
those of moderate means and the Door 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 monopo-
lies. A condition of restlessness aud Irri-
tation has grown up throughout the coun.
try. born of prevailing inequality and un-
fairness. which threatens d attack upon
sound currency and which awakens the
fear of anxious solicitude Of thoughtful
and patriotic men. Economy in public ex-
penditure has almost become a by-word
and Jest, and partisanship In power exc
cutes it's will by methods unprecedented
and ruthless.
II have believed that the Democratic
party was right in its position on all these
subjects, and am willing 10 confess that
my belief is confirmed by the verdict of the
people of Massachusetts. When see the
old common wealth break away from party
trammels in aid of right and honesty, when
i see q majority of her last elected Repre-
sentatives in Congress chosen 20 enforce
the pr.ncipl we profess, and when L see
her put at the head of her State govern
ment one of her young sons who stands for
these principles in the truest. cleanest and
most vigorous way, am prepared 10 see,
following the lead of Massachusetts. such
n revival of moral sentiment IN politics as
will insure the general acceptance by our
countrymen of the truths we preach.
ANY man who fails 60 appreciate the
immense motive power OF the conscience Of
Massachusetts, has viewed 70 little purpose
the movements which have made their I'M
press on our c0untry's history, and which
have led our national destiny. On the
splendid roster of those here enlisted IN our
cause. and among the thousands recorded
there who have seen beyond party lines the
morals of political questions are found the
names or Adams and Everett, and Andrew
and Quincy. and Garrison and Hlgglnson,
and Pierce and Elliot. and Hoar and Cod
man, and Williams-givlng proof that the
peoples cause has touched the conscience
of Massachusetts, The hearts of patriotic
men In many States are warmed with graf
itude for the strong and able young men
your commonwealth has contributed 20
our public life in this time OF her awaken
ing.
Again their eyes are turned 10 Massachu-
setts Young and vigorous Americanism
has watched with pride and enthusiasm its
best representative at the head OF the State
government and those who love trae De-
mocracy have far ana wide rejoiced that
one who embodies their principles so truly
and exemplides them so wisely has borne
himself SO nobly. They look 10 the people
of Massachusetts TO recognize the faithful
services OF their young Governor and the
manner in which he has upheidxhe dignity
