The next President of the United
States will be William Mckinley Of Ohio
or Thomas B. Reed of New England She
will consult her own self respect, and do
simple justice to, and show in what
affection she holds, her honored son, by
presenting to the next national conven-
ton, as the.next President of the United
States, backed with the support of solid
delegation from New England, Thomas
B. Reed.
.. If one of them ost lovable and able men
in the country, glorious WilliamMcKinley
wins the nomination in 1876, we will be-
gin the 10th century with the purer light
and more perfect democratic govern
ment, in obedience to constitutional law
figured in the man / now present to you,
our own Thomas B. Reed of New Eng
land
Mr.. Reed was greeted with long con-
tinued cheering and applause. He said,
in part:
men-The future you and will leave to
take care of itself All we want tonight
is to deal justly, righteously and sensibly
with the present. (Applause.)
II judge, but perhaps my judgment is
wrong, because the materials of it are
founded on statements in Dmocratic
newspapers and by Democratic orators

when / got to Springfield I found the
laboring men in that town had time
enough in the middle of the afternoon to
assemble and make a large portion of the
1000 intelligent citizens whom had the
honor to address, At Holyoke I found
that the mills were running upon half
time because the proprietors of these
mills couldssell only half of their pro-
duct, and consequently the laboring men
in that city could sell only half of their
labor. The manufacturer may keep half
of his product for better times, but the
,laborlng man cannot keep his half of his
unused labor for any future day. That
loss has taken place forever.

II know how many first assistant
secretary of states there are, and just
how long it took his party to abolish
him, and yet there are TWO local issues
upon which I can say word, and that is
are national issues also. Those two
issues, although in November they will
be boiled into one, are the two candi-
dates for governor. Laughter.) I have
served with them both in the national
legislature, and know them both, and

some OF his capabilities, wish him to be

suggest from his recent explanations in

it would be that of the editor of an

The Democratic party has been in
possession of this country ever since the
4th OF March, and there is not Demo-

Republican party which habit has caused
them to make against it for the last %
years.
