Stephen O'Mara's Cheerful! Speech
at Faneuil Hall.

Boston. Mass, July 4-Stephen oMeara,
editor Of the Boston Journal. spoke at The
Fourth of July exercises at Faneuii Hall
to-day. He said In part:

and with ready excuse for political sins
to which they themselves may be tempted.
His lament Is the license OF the corrupt
politician and his denunciatioa Of public

The earnest young man who listens TO u

Mr. O'Aieara then discussed the framing
