vention stand true to the best interests
of the Republican party, an honest
dollar, and the institutions of our coun-
try, and the party's defeat is an impos-
sibility.
Gentlemen, our position is very re-
sponslble one. In thought and name
and being we are one with that New
England sisterheod of states whose
proudest record has ever been the loyal
support of those institutions. Why has
no New England state yet met in con-
vention? Is it not because they demand
first to hear the voice of Massachusetts,? ?
Toward the decline of the 18th century,
with sword and pen, in council and on
the field, New England, with united
purpose, was the most foremost in es.
tablishing this great government under
which we live, and foremost of them all
in freedoms cause, with brain and arm,
fought Massachusetts. Then was given
birth to that great bulwark of the Amer
lean people-the New England man.

have issues, no less vital, that must be
distinctly met. They involve the very
foundation of our civil structure, of
those institutions of our credit, of our
national honor. Massachusetts owes it
to herself; she owes it to those who
fashioned her in earlier and darker days,
to take her place and maintain her birth
right in the councils of the states. Of
all the states within this wide territory

ligion, in refinement, in enterprise, in

''Then let your vote send men to St.
Louis as shall best represent Massachu-
setts; that at this last convention of the
18th century she, and all New England,
may stand no cipher, but mighty unit,

Met in Convention Today.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM PREVAILED

the Financial Quest1on---They
Declare for Sound Money.

BosToN. March 27.-The Republican
state convention was called to order at
1O:15. Long before that hour the dele
gates began to assemble in the hall, and
killed the time by cheering prominent
members as they entered.
The first grand volley. came when
Chairman George II. Lyman, followed
by the state committee, mounted, the
platform.
Lyman called the convention to order,
and the call was read.
Bishop Lawrence offered prayer, and
eloquently referred to the justice and
purity and life of the late Governor
Greenhalge.
Mr.. Lyman then addressed the dele
gates. He said:
"We are assembled in convention,
empowered by the suffrages of the Re-
publican voters of Massachusetts to out
line and determine the policy of this
commonwealth, when she shall meet the
representatives from her sister states at,
perhaps, the most important national
convention in the history of the great
American party. We meet, after a
lapse of four years, to select good men
and true who are to speak for the COM
monwealth at the convention, and also
to agree upon and formulate such rules
of government as shall best tend to rep
resent and Interpret the principles of the
party we honor-the foundation of our

England cannot be said to be less worthy
of leadership today than in the old days
of the 13 united colonies, when she pre-

and was frequently interrupted with ap-
plause. This was especially marked
when the Cuban and gold standard
planks and the section referring to the
separation of church and state were
read. The enthusiasm rose to climax
on the mention of Reeds name for the
presidency. The platform pledges the
electoral vote of Massachusetts to the
candidate to be chosen by the st. Louis
convention; it says the government
should have ample revenue with suffi-
cient surplus over the ordinary expendi-
lures to provide for coast defenses, the
steady building of a navy, constant re-

Senatorshp. the prospects are that il will not
have the ~ Assemblymen it had this year.
Even the Democratic politicians recognize the
fact that this is off year for the Democracy.
John Il. Stanchfeld the Democratic leader in
the Assembly of 1896 has declined a renomina-
ton in Chemung County. John 7. Norton. the
next ablest Democrat in the Assembly. has de-
clined denomination in Rensselaer, County.
And George Kelly. the Democrat who carried
the lid Assembly District of Albany County by
nearly 5000 majority. is hustling about this
year fearing defeat. Apparently Kelly is the
only Democratic candidate for the Assembly
In the interior of the State who stands a chance
of election. There were ten Of these Demo-
cratic Assembymen from the interior Of the
State last year. In three districts. Seneca. Co
lumba, and the LIST District of Erie, the plura-
~ of the Democratic members was less than
800 With the gold Democrats running cand-
dates for the Assembly in each one Of these dis
tricts, the election Of the Republican candidates
is certain. In the LIST District of Queens Coun-
ty the Democratic Assembyman had only 80
majority. In the Ist District of Oneida County
the Republicans divided. and therefore
the Democrats obtained a plurality of 3i1 That
district also can he set down in the Republican
column this year.
In the counties of Kings and Ncw-York the
Democratic representation In the Assembly Is
likely to be reduced in consequence Of the gold
Democrats having put forward candidates.
There were ten Democratic Assemblymen elected
from Kings County last year. but most OF the
had scanty majorities. A good many Of the
twenty-seven Democratic Asemhlymen from
New-York also had small majCritles.
One characteristic of III" Republican campaign
this year is the large number of Republican re-
nominations There are siXty-eght Republican
Assemblymen out of the l'3 in the Assembly
who are once more candidates. This at least
assures the State that men of some experience
in legislation will be in office in the Legislature.
