 'Mr. President, the spectacle upon which I look down is a most inspiring one. Upon this platform are seated honored and distinguished guests who have favored the commonwealth of Massachusetts by coming within her borders from the distant sister states of the union and as I look before me I see hundreds who fairly represent the best intelligence, vigorous enterprise and best type of citizenship of the com monwealth. You, MT. President, have referred to the fact that we meet to- day on the eve of Thanksgiving day, but out thanksgiving tonight is not proclaimed by president or governor. It has been decreed by the solemn ver- dict of seventy millions of freemen. It is to their sober second thought and loyal patriotism that we owe it tonight that we meet with gladstone faces and With cause for profound thanksgiving.
 We rejoice, not only as republicans in the triumphs of the principles of the party and the triumph and election of the candidates of the republicans-We rejoice as American citizens, that so many thousands who have not acted with us, and who to-day do not agree with us on all matters of public inter- est, but who proved themselves loyal Americans, Jealous equally with us of the fair repute of the United States of America. I should add in my welcome, the honored name of the senior senator of Massachusetts. Senator Hoar needs no official welcome from any individual. His welcome is found in the hearts of her citizens. So, without more words, I give place to those whom you are impatient to hear, and they need not at my hands, have spoken for them the enthusiastic welcome of the people of Massachusetts"
 Senator Hoar was greeted with great applause.
 To Y,on than one day for Thanksgiving this year. No private dwelling, no church, no ordinary building can contain our joy. The campaign of strife, of dis honor, of broken faith, of sectional hate of bankruptcy is ended, as it de- served The American people once more stand before the nations of the world for peace upon earth and good will to men. The flag which our fla thers left us and our brothers saved for us without rent we hand down with no stain.
 'Tt is 8 good time for union soldiers to celebrate, for the firing of cannon and the ringing of bells and the sound of joyous music. All these give an inadequate and imperfect expression of the deep feeling in the hearts of the loyal and patriotic citizens of the coun- try. The business men in Massachu- setts have had something to do with this victory. But it is not wholly or chiefly yours. It is the victory of the wage-earners, of the cottage, of the savings bank, of the school and of the home. It is a matter also for quiet and thoughtful gratitude to Almighty God It brings up to the mind the images of the fathers who founded this land on trust in the people after the treaty of peace in 17S3. It revives again the emotion which we felt after Appomattox, when we welcomed back again the men who had fought with Grant and Sherman and Devens and Sickels.
 "The smoke is coming out of the chimney. There's good cheer in the workingman' S voice. There is happi- ness in the workman's dwelling. There is new hope in the heart of the father, and a new light in the eye of the mother in hundreds of thousands of American homes. But I think the business men of New England must do something more than rejoice that the country has escaped a great danger. We must expect them to study the causes which have put the country in
