: WVil might a Tory censuro oi.
cause the rail fence at Bunker Hill

was MOI ,.e scientific construction.
Now Ne are all in favor of repeal. The DEM
ocratic party ,s In power. We Republicans
ere not such partissns that we cannot as
patriots thank the President of the United
States for his patriotic service in behalf of
sound money; and II his own party fail him,
the Republican party will be found-a legion
OF salvation standing at his back In this
patriotic work. So we say-Repeall They say
We cannot yet. And their majority In the
senate stands helpless before corporal
guard OF garrulous silverites. Let them go,
then. 10 the armory OF parliamentary weapons,
and, II their hearts fail them not, lee them
draw from thence the flashing blade with
which Thomas Il. Reed dealt such valiant
blows for the true welfare Of the country.
And they may depend upon IL they will have
as allies the sage Of Worcester the wisdom
and strength OF our senior senator, and the
youthful vigor and dauntless intellect of the
delegate from Nahant, Henry Cabot Lodge.
IL the Democratic party fails OF repeal, then
we charge them with the worst of political
srimes-imbecilty and impotence.
We say another word of advice TO the DEM
scratic party: ihe election laws help TO se-
cure free and honest elections. You have al
ready made elections in some sections mock
cry. DO not seek To extend your malignant
Influences TO darken the free north as you
have darkened the south.
Again, we would help you TO restore pros
perity to the country. To that end, we say,
tamper as little as possible with the great
revenue system established by the Fifty first
congress, and tell us at once how little evil
you intend TO work. II you do this, every in
dustry will blaze with new light from Atlanta
70 Lewiston.
Gentlemen, believe, and you believe, that
the commonwealth OF the Pilgrim fathers.
founded on their broad and lofty principles.
on their righteous and equal laws-is safer
with the Republican party than with any
other. What thoughtful man will say that
Massachusetts, is any better-in industry or
charity, In character or influence, in sub
stance or prOmise-for the three years of DEM
ocratic supremacy now closing, not soon TO be
renewedf Let US, then, in this solemn hour,
lift high the banner Of our party before the
face of the Lord! Every good patriot-every
business man every loyal soldier-eyery
breadwinner (and we mean 20 have no bread
loser under our policy will look To that ban
ner as the symbol of Rescue, of safety, of hope.
Let the redemption of massachusetts, begin
todayl Gentlemen, thank you from my
heart.
