MR. AyKEY's kDDREss.
Mr.. Avery, in his address said We arc
thankful that the danger OF the passage OF
free silver coinage act seems for the present
TO he ayerted We are equally opposed 20 the
existing law and the proposed law. Unless
the vast resources of our country and the ce-
mands Of our trade set at defiance the expert
ence Of the past. both are full Of danger The
National Democratic party ls Tor honest
! money, currency OF gold and silver every
dollar of which shall DO OK equal intrinsic
value all over the world Until THIS pohcy IS
modified by another national convention no
man or set of men in Congress or out OF
| Congress. can commit the party to any other
| policy. ,
-Four vears ago we raised the standard Of
| tariff reform. True to its long-estaDhshed
policy the Democratic party proposed to re-
! duce the indirect taxes paid by the people, %
readiust tho free list, and III a spirit OF JUS
! tce - the consumer and the producer, the
workingman and the employer, 10 secure
sufficient revenue for the needs If the Gov
I ernmept. and 20 afford such protection 70 our
own products as 10 maintain tho right oi
wages TO workmen and secure reasonable
| profit TO the manufacturer.
Tariff reform became our battle cry. Our
| opponents. substantially admitting the cor
rectness of our position, claimed that they
should be intrusted with the power TO carry
| out the reform.
RAP AT REPUBLICAN RULE.
The present administration. with its futile
efforts to maintain its power through the
| odious machinery OF "a Force bill. by ITS dan
| perous silver legislation its OnerOus tarf act,
| its unprecedcnted expenditures. Its return g.
the spoils system. It's departmental scandals,
/ presents 10 the most casual observer painful
! contrast To the last Democratic administration.
which. for dignity. intelligence. economy,
conscientious devotion 10 the interests IF the
! whole country and freedom from any act that
! should cause a friend to blush or an enemy 10
condemn, is unsurpassed II the history OF the
country
will be one of the problems submitted to the
convention which to-day elect tue repre-
sentatives Of your State.
The first great step is the adoption Of sound
! principles and the declaration OF policy %
| guide the Legislature and the Executive. The
/ Marty that contents itself with Loi-lnr On tl
old disease and to huggng the glory OF the
past Is doomed 10 defeat. BRING forward
sound and fundamental principles however
old they may be. and we'd them 10 those
measures which the day demands. The next
duty Will be the selection of q candidate
| believe that our candidate should be man ~
tried honesty, broad and comprehensive pa
triotism and undoubted courage, cool lnactlon
deliberate in judgment and ready and willing
! under all circumstances and at all hazards q
do what he believes to be right.
To such a man the destinies OF great ma
| tion can be safely ntrusted. 20 such man,
doubt not the delegates from Massachusetts,
/ will give their united votes, and such man
/ believe. tho united Democracy will elect a.
the next President OF the United states.
