he said the republican party had given
the country prosperity which had been
interrupted as the principle of protec-
ton had been threatened. The obvious
remedy for tie present financial condi-
ton is to call beck the party that show
ed capacity to manage the treasury
which always provided the needed rev.
enue.
He concluded: "If, fellow republic
ans, you want leader who will make
not only great candidate but great
president, whose administration will
strengthen the party through signal
benefits it will confer upon the country,
then ask the republicans of the nation
to join hands with you to put at the
head OF their column in the battle of
'96 that man Of dauntless courage, and
unstained honor, that great parliament
aran who beat down the obstruc-
tion that parslyzed the house OF repre-
sentativee, that broad minded enlighten-
ed statesman Thomas Bracket Reed, of
Name.
The Reed sentiment was overwhelm-
ing. Senator Lodge presented a plat
form which declares for protection and
Re ciprooity; insists upon an entire sepal-
alton of church and state; demands
stricter immigration laws and sympa-
thizes with the Cuban revolutionists.

BosToN, March 26-General Buffers
military career was severely scored to.
day when the bill providing for the
erection of an equestrian, or military
statute of Butler, came up before the
committee on ways and means at the
state house.
RESPONSIVENESS we're called up today
and Col. Thomas Livermore spoke. he
declared Buffers exploits were dwarfed |
by thousands OF acts performed by other |
Massachusetts men. Butler did not lead |
a regiment through Baltimore. He was |
IN Philadelphia. He did not seize
Annapolis. From April, 1861, to May,
ga, Gen. Butler never directed the |
movements of a man in the face of the |
enemy. After that he directed an army |
in but one battle, Drury's Bluff, and |
then ives compelled to retire. The |
reason he never attempted to direct |
troops was because he saw be was not |
fit to do it. Col. Livermore also said |
the idea of commemOrsting exploits of |
this sort by equestrian statues borders
on the ridiculous.
