The Secretary OF the State Of
Massachusetts has decided that the
new party formed at the convention
at indianapolis cannot use the word
Democrat" on their ticket. The
law governing the Australian ballot
is very plain, and is designed to
protect different organizations IN
the name they have. The Secretary
holds that since the regular Demo.
cratic convention made its nomina-
tons at Chicago, no disaffected
members Of the party have the
right to use the name, or to print
the heading National Democrats. !"
since the regular Democratic party
- national. The new party can
adopt any name it chooses, so that
u is sufficiently distinct from that
Of other parties. The decision is
important, because the matter has
already come up in several States.

Polished and Scholarly Effort in BE-

Mr. Cutcheon said: Fellow Citizens, and
Ladies and Gentlemen: congra ulate you that
TINS long, passionate, heart-breaktng- campaign
Is finished; and congratulate you that it has
been finished with the assurance Of a victory
for honest money, FOR national honor and for
the maintenance OF the moral integrity Of the
great republic (Applause.l and / congratu-
late you that the rock-ribbej Democracy of
old Ramsey county, having contributed not
little to this result, will put the seal OF final
achievement upon 1t early next Tuesday
morning. (Renewed applause.l
All through this campaign our free silver
friends have been calling US bolters. Now my
friends l haven't one word of bitterness or
one drop OF ranchor In my heart for any one
OIL them. For a dozen years have been fight
ing with them, shoulder to shoulder in many
hopeless breach, and In many desperate
onslaught we have marched together; as
men they were good enough for me then, and
They have fallen by the way they have taken
a mistaken path, but all through this cam
paign we have been laboring toiling con-
scientlously with all our hearers In the work.

might, that the Democratic party for a CEN
tury has stood for individual liberty, and that
the Chicago platform proclaims the tyranny
OF the mob: that the Democratic platform has
stood for the constitution and the mainte-
nance Of its institutions, and that the Chi
cago platform seeks to raze that constitu-
ton and all its institutions; I have scorned
to say simply that the Democratic party has
stood for individual honesty and for national
honor, and that the Chicago platform en-
courages individual dishonesty and national

impassioned appeal-little wonder the
opera house last night applauded and
cheered. 1t was an audience splendid
in appearance as well as proportions.
The best representatives of the city's
party affiliations, and they filled the
boxes, q part of the stage and all Of
the seats in the lower part of the house
and in the dress circle. The aisles and
foyers were filled-probably not less
than 1000 people in all. 1t was a dig
nified, intelligent audience, one that
honored the distinguished gentlemen
by its presence. There were ladies'
hundreds Of them; there were strang-
ers from out of the city, who came
some of them long distances; in the
boxes were the leaders of business and
social life; on the platform were some
of the best known representatives of
labor's interests, clergymen and clerks,
bankers and breadwinners form the
humber walks of life sat side by side
and gave approval to the sentiments
that were uttered from the platform.
In many respects 1t was a remarkable
gathering. The speakers are repre-
sentatives of a political party that is
doomed to defeat. But if one might
judge from the approval of their audi
tors, these speakers are the forerun-
ners of the old Democracy, purified and
regenerated by the ordeal Of the cam
paign. Strong in the hope of the fu-
ture, uncompromising in their adher-
ence to the principles of the party that
Jefferson founded, defiant in the face
of a defeat that party treachery has
made possible, these three, true to the
candidates of their party, enunciated
the faith that was in them and that
found echo in the hearts of hundreds
of their auditors.
