worthy political demonstrations in the
history of Worcester county. Final
details are complete, and with favor
able weather 1t Is safe to predict that

state ticket be present, but two of the
most illustrious men who grace the
national administration. Senator Geo.
f. Hoar of Massachusetts and Senator
