Mr. Greenhaige's Acceptance.
Mr. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
Conventional accept the nomination. ac-
cept IL as the greatest honor OF my life, and
thank you for IL with the deepest gratitude.

of my life, and trust may assume that re-
sponsibillty In spirit befitting the confidencs
you have reposed in me. My deep sepse of my
defects and shortcomings is increased by tho
high and honorable character Of the able and
distinguished men whose names have been
before the party as candidates. and whose
patriotic action has contributed so much to
the harmony of this great convention.
Gentlemen, the Republican party II indif-
ferent to nothing that concerns the welfare
of the common wealth, or the welfare of the
nation. To keep Massachusetts foremost
among her sister sJates--peerless among her
peers-none of the great agencies OF civiliza-
tion must be neglected or ignored. Education.
justice. economy, temperance, equality. must
still lead US on To better government in state,
in town and city.
The state must be just to all; subservientto
none. Hear the words of the fathers in
article 0 of the declaration Of rights OF our
constitution: mo man, nor corporation. nor
association of men, have any other title TO OBJ
tain advantages, or particular ana exclusive
privileges, distinct from those OF the COM
munity, than what arises from the considera-
ton of services rendered 20 the public" In the
spirit of these words public interests will ever
be preferred TO private interests.
The condition OF national affairs must cx-
cite our keenest solictude. An indignant
country asks the Democratic party "Where Is
the prosperity of lsae? Give us back that
prosperity, with it's business, its dividends, its
wages" The reply is not satisfactory. While
the Republican banner floats over the Capitol.
while Republican laws were administered by
Republican hands and brains. we had pros
perity. Now we are awaiting It's return The
prospect of vicious legislation scared away
that prosperity. But the sherman act. they
say. is the root Of all this evil. Every intclli-
gent man In this country knows how and why
that act was passed. But the Sherman act is
charged to the Republican party. That party
erected dixie TO check the food of free silver.
The Democracy cry out because the food here
and there breaks through the dixie. But who
prepared the flood. except the Democratic
party7 AS well might a Tory censure old
Putnam because the rail fence 1T Bunker Hill
Was not of more scientific construction.
Solid For Repeal.
Now we are all In favor Of repeal The DEM
pcratic party is In power. We Republicans
are not such partisans that we cannot ns
