DosroN, Nov. A. - Two big MONDAY
sa".es gndsr the auspices Of the Ropubli-
AN state committee were held In this city
ct noon today. Senator Hoar made his
FIRST campaign addresses OF the season,
and he was accorded grand reception.
He said:
lam s,rry that severe Illness has kept mo
from taking part In the present campaign.
With one exception have contributed my
humble share to the discussion OF the political
issues which were before the p.ope OF Massa
chusetts, In the years when there has been
such a discussion ever since 1850 But csr-
taiDiy the Campaign is going well enough
Nothing me=e- has bean needed than the gov
ernor and litutanant governor have supplied.
They have bsen alike candidates. platform
and u lvocatcs. admirable as all three
believe III, Republcan party was never In
better condition than today. The Republicans
OF Massachusetts, arr true % the principles
fhoy have maintained against their ancient
sdyersaries. the Democratic party. for nfarly
bOysars:
!. The riskfs Of American citizenship, all
over the country, without distinction OF race,
or birthplace, or creei.
2. Sound, honest. wise. economic admins
tration, which has made Massachusetts, tho
model commonwealth among the states. and
sas male the United States the foremo 80
manufacturing and commercial nation on
Mrih.
Our adv ersary and AM tagonists Is the Demo
cratic party. The Democrats of Massachusetts,
those of whom who have anything To say in
rublic, profess 10 be followers and aimirers o.
Presi lent Cleveland. And yet have You con-
sidered that the things for which they
claiming credit today are tho things which
have becn accomplished by the bitter antag.
onists and opponents OF President Cleveland
and the mel whom his Democratic supporters
In Massachusetts, have been reviing and OBJ
jurgating for the past few yearsf
They tell us that times are better. Better
than whsti Not. certainly. better than tho
Republican times. Ut. certainly. bstter than
the last years o, Benjamin Harrison's admins
tration, when tbs Mckinley bill, or the Re-
publican tariff which preceded IL. was in
force. Uud )ubtedly times are better than
they were during tho days Of the Democratic
rebellion in 1881 Undoubtedly the times are
better than they were during the first ls
months OF President Clevoland's present al.
ministration period which cost this country
Il do not speak of the loss of life and health
but which cost this country, measured in
money, more than the rebellion itself.
But To whom Is IL due that the times are
better than they were when the Democratic
rebellion was Hourishing. or during the Cleve
land times OF the first years of this administra'
tionf They attribute IL TO the present tariff.
Tho present tariff, according TO the pre- esident,
- measure OF dishonor and perfdy. IL there
be any one thing more than anoi her which the
honor OF the president and his Democratic
supporters In New England Is pledged. IL is to
the revision OF the present tsrif, whenever
they get the power a1d the overthrow of 80
much protecti IN as Is left in IL.
II the Democratic party propose to leave the
5orman tariff unchanged, either in principle

plumber. monopoly n robbery of the many for
the few, 10 doctrine OF expediency-if they
are men of honor--can withhold them from
attempting ihe complete overthrow Of The
German tariff, or they must acknowledge thas
they have been mistaken and are now converted
80 the Republican doctrine, or they must adlni;
themselves perjurel and mansworn.
They congratulate you on your escape from
the odious, sectional, clumsy and socialistic
income tax But that you owe to the decision
OF the supreme court. But who was the politi.
cal champion TO the opposition TO the income
tax to which PRESIDENT Cleveland submitted,
aud when he allowed to become y statutef 10
was senator Hill. so our Democratic ad.
mirers of the president are trying o. get y
little respect for him, and for themselves. by
coo!ly appropriating TO his glory the labors oi
Mr.. t+orinan and the principles OF Mr.. Hill.
Here is the matter or civil scrvice reform.
The Massachusetts, friends of the president are
1o,h hing II not civil service ruformers But
they ana their organs have denounced JOSIAH
Quincy in unmeasured terms for what they
are pleased 10 call footing" the consular serv.
ice of the United States. Mr.. Quincy has
lately declared, IL correctly reported, that
every removal from the Republican consular
service was the personal act and at the per-
sonal direction of President Cleveland. our
Democratic civil service r,formers must either
condemn the president must accept Mr.
Quincy as their congenial champion and ex
poncnt
sse that some OF oar friends on both sides
are disposed 10 thrust into this campaign
come matter which does not seem TO me to
oelong 20 1t, or Dc n profitable subject for
party or political discussion. One silc takes
as its emblem the little red schooTh0use Of our
srandfathers' day. The Democrat tic candidate
for governor. not to be behndhand saws ho
goes for the little schoolhouse, but he wants
white one. Now, arn not much disposed TO
agree with either, but think l can suggest "a
compromise which will satisfy both. / do not
