Expressed The Feelings Of the Bay State Re-
publican Convention.


the Democracy. The day was a perfect
one and there was nothing wanting to
make the event as successful as the most
partisan could desire. 1t was hardly 8
o'clock when the advance guard began to
fill the corridors of the fremont House,
where the headquarters were situated and
from that hour there was steady influx
of delegates.
One Of the noticeable features was the
absence of the boisterous enthusiasm
which has been present in gatherings Of
like nature in past years. The delegates
seemed to take it for granted they were
about to nominate winning ticket and
were taking matters easy as a conse-
luenco.
Music hall, festooncd with the Stars and
Stripes and colored bunting, was crowded
70 its utmost capacity by an enthusiastic
audience who had assembled to take part
in the convention 1t was 1910 when
Chairman Samuel L. Winslow called to
ortier, and after the reading Of the call for
the convention and prayer being offered
by Rev. George Bachelor of Lowell, the
convention go: down to business Samuel
i. Winslow and Daniel Kent were voted
temporary chairman and secretary respec-
tire,y.
Senator Hoar, on rising to make mo-
tion. received an ovation lasting fully a
minute and finished with three cheers and
tiger. The chairman of permanent organ
LBation read telegram from Congressman
Cogswell, stating that his physiciana
would not allow him to be present and
Temporary Chairman Winslow was mado
president OF the convention. Mr. Wins
low, after few words of regret at the alb
scncc of General Coeswell, offered a reso-
intion of sympathy and regret. Curtis
Guild Jr., was appointed to read Con
gresham Cogswclls speech which he had
written.
General CogsweiPs Speech

cratic administration, reviewed at some
iongth the action of the last congress ana
closed rs follows:
No thoughtful man Of middle life ought to
be disappointed in the record Of the Demo
cratic party since its recent advent to full con
troll of national affarS; for he has seen it con
trolled by the same old methods, policies and
theories as he saw it in the last of its
powca more tl.ln 30 years ago when it ruined
our financial credit and let the country drift
into secession without raising a hand to pre-
vent it. He has since seen this same party
when the nation was in the agony and bloody
sweat of Il war to preserve its life, in national
convention assembled, soiCinuly declare such
war TO restore the Union a failure" end re-
solve that it should cease. 20, too, il the crit
cal period &c reconstruction, the resumption OF
specie payment, the restoration OF our 1lnan
cial credit at home and abroad, he has seen
same party, with pcrsistcncy only equaed
by its maligrity, oppose, obstruct and bitterly

yolved.
To the young men, however, the present
record of IA Democratic administration must
be an object lesson OF great value, though
bought at gresst price.
