Lynn. Mass, Oct. 2S.-The national
Democrats held the first big rally of the
campaign in this city last night nearly
500 people being present to listen to the
discussion of the issues of the day by
DR.. William Everett, candidate for
governor, Colonel Henry A. Lamb OF
Brookllne and William A. Murphy OF
Boston. Henry f. Hurlburst presided,
and the first speaker to be introduced
was DR.. Everett, who received a rousing
reception when he was presented to the
audience, and was frequently applaud
ed during his address.
"Why should the Democrats or Massa-
chusetts renounce their opinions?" he
asked. why should they accept the
sectional silver standard. got up in the
interest of certain portions OF the coun-
try and at the dictation of the delega-
tions from other states in the Union? |
have heard it said that Massachusetts,
did not vote for a Democratic president,
and that therefore Massachusetts Demo-
Gratis were bound TO give up their idea
of Democracy. Nothing for years mas
over the nation such a start as the up
rising in 1884 of thousands of Democrats
in Massachusetts, in support Of the nom
ination of Mr.. Cleveland. The strength
and life and vigor and new force that
have come into the Democratic party in
the last dozen years have come, not
from the old states that are always
Democratic. but from the new spirit that
came into the Democratic party from
the states that have not been Democratic
before. and the very greatest inspira-
tion in the regenerated Democratic party
came from Massachusetts, under the
three years governorship of the late
lamented Russell. tApplause).
And il was something more than that.
This idea that a majority vote in such a
convention settles IL all is not American
liberty. IL is not American Democracy,
u is not American equality. think. Mr..
Chairman. this fact is beginning 10 be
recognized
THE party calling itself still the regu-
lar Democracy Is beginning TO find out
there Is something a little queer about
its proceedings. IL is getting spoken OF
emphatically as the new Democracy.
II is a very new Democracy indeed. II
has very little in common with the De-
mocracy which has been coeval with the
history of the republic. We believe the
true principle OF American Democracy
is that every man I'm every part of the
country is equal under the constitution
and before the law. and that no Ameri-
can can claim he il In any sense more
or an American citizen than his neigh
boa and his brother tApplause). There
