BE TALKS TO BEAN EATERS

BosToN, Nov. 22.-The annual ban
Auet of the Home Market Club of BoS-
ton. the leading Republican organiza-
ton of Massachusetts, was held at
Mechanics building tonight. Hundreds
of we'll known Republicans gathered to
enjoy the hospitality of the club, and to
take part in the reception to its guests.
Portraits of Mckinley, Garfield. Harri-
son, Hayes, Senator H0ar, Thomas B.
Reed, and other Republican lights, hung
about the place. Upon the platform,
besides the party forming the reception
committee, were Gen. Russell Alger, OF
Detroit, and Rev. Edward Everett
Hale, of Boston.
After due attention had been devoted
to the viands, Col. Clark arose and ex-
ded cordial greetings OF the Home Mar
ket club to the assembly. Col. Clark
then introduced Gov. Greenhalge, who
extended a welcome to the guests for
the people of Massachusetts.
Senator George F. Hoar, of MaSsa-
chusetts. was the next speaker. Re-
ferring to the recent election, he said.
in part: This political victory of ours,
this victory in Kansas, i'll Vermont, in
COnnecticutandI IN Massachusetts, is but
the victory of the wo!kingman. 1t is
tile victory of the farmhouse and of the
W rkshop. of men who perform work
in this republic to which these gentle
npn of the Tariff Reform league are
total strangers"
Thomas Il. Reed
was the next speaker, and when he
rose he was received with an ovation
that threatened to split the roof. He
was obliged to wait several minutes be-
fore he could proceed. He said:
''PerhaDs some of this great audience

more than the rest of you for rejoicing.
The result shows that there IS In me the
prophetic instinct; not so fully devel-
oped AS 1 could wish, bet still valuable.
Once during the last session of con-
gress, when the plans of the Democracy
had become developed, l ventured to
say to the leaders that when the people
of this country got at them in Novem-

In trenches. This was nearly true. but
there was slight inaccuracy.

bury them in trenches until the supply
OF trenches gave out. We could not
bury them all, and, notice some ghosts
of unburied bodies to and fro fitting

"And how richly they have deserved

Did 1t ever occur to you that if the
brightest man among you had placed
before him Oh March 4, 1893, a sheet of
white paper, and had been told to write
down all the foolish things he would
have liked to have the enemy do in or
der to compass their own destruction,
he would have left out so per cent they
actually did? Is there any one of YOU

the next two years seems to be easy.
We have neither the president nor the
senate, ard all we can do is to let the
country try the results of the folIy of
1892. We shall have two years TO look
over this situation so as to do the hest
we can when our time has fully come.

andno man whose brains are not suf-

Mr. Cleveland. for private, personal and
political reasons, threw into the scale
the whole organization OF the Demo

people at the first opportunity. If any,
body believes that the Democratic plat
form was mdorsed by the election of
1892, he has no fellowship with the
president or the chairman of the ways
