CHANDIER's SPEECH.
The convention was well attended. Sena-
tor w. E. Chandler presided and delivered =
speech. The opening part Of his address
was devoted to a review Of the history Of
the Republican party of New Hampshire ana
of the Nation. The election of Cleveland In
1855, he said, was a reaction and reverse re-
sulting from the very lapse OF time. The
Democratic attack ON the protective tariff
system under which the country had grown
rich and prosperous. brought a reaction the
other way. and under the banner OF protec-
ton Harrison was elected President A new
tariff bin was enacted. which restored pros
psrity, yet, strangely enough, when the
wealth OF the country was greater and t1e
wages of the wage earners were higher than
had ever been the case before I'm this coun-
try or in any nation on the globe, a second
reaction against the Republican party came
to pass. Cleveland was again chosen Pres
ident.
Mr. Chandler proceeded to say that under
the Wilson tarin bill of 1894 agriculture -
prostrated; it is not profitable for the farmer

Reverting again TO our foreign po,icys
Mr. Chandler took up the Venezuelan ques-
ton. saying that ''for the first time s-nce
we urged the French to evacuate Mexico,
and in consequence OF our oemaLa ao, our s,s- st-
Maxamillian monarchy, an opportunity has
come to give indispensable aid In protect

in favor of recogniuon OF the peingerent
| rights of the Cuban insurgents. in the
same strain as he has spoken in the United
