MB. REGO's REMARKS.
Whitelaw Reid, in his speech, congratu-
lated the delegates that the Republican
fires are burning so brightly IN the western
Part of the State. Applause Because
q vast deal of interest has not thus tar been
shown in the canvass our opponents have
sometimes hattered themselves that the
Republican cause was III an apathetic
state. | beg you gentlemen 70 say what
ever may be necessary to disabuse them OF
that conviction. Those Of you who have
known the Republican party IN storm as
well as III sunshine know that its best work
has been done at the time when its adyeT-
saries believed IL TO be beaten. Applause. J
At present they only believe that We are
apathetic. Let US encourage them #
possible to believe more. Let us encour-
age them to believe tunt we think the
conditions IN the northern part Of New
England are absolutely against Us. lt
;hey viii only nave the kindness to con-
tinue IN that conviction they viii add
more TO the many kIndnesses that they
have already IN the campaign, from the
adoption OF their platform at Chicago on
down, shown the RepuDlican party"
