sachusetts is here against all class dis
tinctions. (Applause) Above all, sir,
the emocracy of our state, the independ-
ence of our state, the sound men OF our
state willn not stand the insults that
have been cast upon that adminisrra-
ton, that man, who has reserved the
honor and credit of America untainted-
we stand by President Cleveland.
OF A BROKEN HEART.
1--WE are not pledged to any special
candidate or candidates. Alas, Mr..
Chairman, two months ago, sixty brief
days, Massachusetts might have pre-
scented TO this convention a candidate
for president that every sound money
Democrat-aye, that many Republicans,
would have voted for Great Applause
But sir, that noble heart that went to
Chicago in an attempt to stem the tide
of anarchistic invasion, broke in agony
when he saw the acts of so-called Demo-
Gratis, and ne went home TO the shores
OF the Atlantic TO die of grief at the folly
of his Democratic countrymen. Great
applause
I'VE are told that we might do as well
by accepting the candidates nominated
as s. I.ouisEI mean the st. Louis con-
vention. 0aughter.) We are told that
for sound moneys sake, We have MOTH
ing TO do but TO go over into that camp.
Mr.. President, respectfully decline to
admit that all public virtue is concen-
trated in the Republican party. (Great
cnnlanGal nn1u this
year; if it We're only for this campaign.
might think differently Of what we are
to do, but We are not here only for this
campaign, We are here for 10000. We
ere here for the future. This is to be a
convention of the party Of young Ameri-
cans to which the coming man is going
to rally eight millions strong in a very
few years. (Applause.)
I'VE are fighting not merely for the
ancient historic party, not merely
against anarchdsm and Populism; not
merely against protection and paternal
government; but we are fighting that
the United States may stand in the face
of her sister nations undimmed in honor
and mistaken in credit. Great ap-
plause)"
