They Address Monster Meetings at Fancuil
Hall and Music HalI-IuscocIs and Bou-
telle speak In Sew York-Judge Cooley
and Wayne AIcvcagh for Cleveland.
Boston, Oct. 5.-Music hall and Faneuil
hail were both filled to oyerfowing last
night when the Republicans ratified their
state and national nominations with ring
ing speeches by Hon. Whitelaw Reid, Gov
ernor William Mckinley, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Halle and Hon Roger Wolcott, the
two latter being the nominees for gov
ernor and lieutenant governor respectively.
Hon. W. Il. Barrett presided, and was
hanked by large number of leading men
OF the party seated upon the platform.
After short Introductory speech Hon.
Whitelaw Reid was presented as the first
speaker Of the evening He was given q
most flattering reception by the large audi
ence, which was quick 20 note the sharp
points Of his address and bestowed frequent
applause
Mr. Reid, after thanking his hearers for
the reception rendered him, which he did
not presume 20 think personal, but simply
accorded him as the representative Of that
grand old party whose achievements he
briefly recorded, attacked the Democratic
policy on the tariff and financial questions,
and said that since Mr.. Cleveland's letter
of acceptance the Democrats were demon
allied and almost on the run. 10 Is oh.
viously truthful, he said, to say that Mr..
Cleveland now acts toward the platform Of
his party as if he were afraid that if he
should venture to step on it il would break
through. The three distinctly vital points
in the platform are state bank currency,
reciprocity and the tariff On two Of them
his letter is absolutely silent, willie he
writes all around and about the third.
He then discussed the tariff question at
length, and after reviewing the efforts Of
the Republican party toward the restora
tion of the merchant marine Mr.. Reid con.
cluded as follows;
There is one party in this campaign. Mr..
Chairman, that does not find Il needful 20
elandcr the country; that does not seek for
calamities and does not read its own defeat in
the general prosperity There is one party that
has nothing 10 conceal and that says what Il
means. II has nominees who are not afraid Of
its principles. Il IS not trying to succeed by
getting one part OF the country 60 vote for its
platform and another part 10 vote only for iib
candidates II stands everywhere for pro
tective tariff. aud wants no mistake about
that. It stands for honest money, and no
mistake about that II stands for equal righis
under the law, FOR reciprocity, for revived
shipping, for American wages and for Amer
ca all tho time. And finally Il challenges the
verdict Of the American people on the charac
ter. the ability and the safe and brilliantly sue
cessful Administration Of Benjamin Harrison
AT the conclusion Of Mr.. Reids speach
Governor Mckinley was introduced and
received an ovation as he rose 90 speak

a discussion of the old state bank system,
and then passed to n discussion of the

dent we shall have an honest, sound bank
ing currency. which commands respect at
home and abroad, and the people need not
fear under his administration a return TO
