nual dinner OF the Republican Club OF

tory.
President Simpkins introduced as the
guest Of the evening the Republican

gressman John Dalzell, OF Pennsylvania,
who was enthusiastically received.

From all appearances should mag

am not going TO make bipartisan speech.
As take up this unbiased Boston jour
nal, (the Herald, l notice the following
head lines: President Cleveland VIC
torious.'
Victorious over what? Over the
Democratic party.
"Felow citizens OF Massachusetts,
it behooves you then at the next cleo
ton to complete that victory, and tho
greatest praise we can give Grover
Cleveland is to initiate him i'll his VIC
tory over his own party.
ave were called together two long
months ago in very extraordinary ses-
sion. We had before us in the opinion
Of the people OF the United States very
simple task, namely to repeal law that
was frightening the people oil the coun.
try. The Republican party, with eelf-
denial, voluntarily stepped forward to
do the will OF the people and help re-
peal that law. Since that time the
bill has remained in the bosom
OF the Democratic senate and there
it is when the will oil the people could
have been obeyed long ago. Time most
valuable to the people has been lost
and now the people when that bill is
repealed will see just how little they
have been benefited thereby.
Even ii we do get it through the
Democratic senate / want to show you
another calamity with which we will
have to come face to face. IQuote from
tho financial column OF that same jour
nal. unconditional repeal will not do
away with difficulties in business and
speculation
"The great difficulty lies in the uncer-
tainty in and the utter disLru9t OF the
policy OF the Democratic party. That
party is to-day in control, yet they arc
on the stump complaining OF the Re-
publicans. They have the executive
or partiaIly-they have the house, and
they have the senate. How far have
they gotten along?
For the first time i'll the history oil
the United States the senate is sitting
under the opprobrium OF the people.
and ior tho first time that august body
is the subject OF aouts and jeers Of all
mankind from the highest to the lowest.
Massachusetts has to act quickly.
No state is more interested in the tariff
question than she is. You may build
your factories again and open your
mills. But beware. when they are once
destroyed the omnivorous west will do
the work for the country. You have
the prestige and power. Throw them
away ii you wish. Democracy is ruled
by the south and by the south l mean
men who have no idea of what an in
dustrial northern city is. Truth is
mighty but so is ignorance. So say
We must fight out this right of the ma
jority to rule"
