SENATOR R0AR EXPLAINS.
Replies to the Letter writer by Ex-
Governor Boutwell,

WORCESTER, Mass, July 22-Seuator
Hoar issced an open letter this afternoon
in reply to the letter written By ex-Go.-
ernor Boutwell, relative ~ the qro.ations
made by Senac Hoar from letters by the
ex-COveruoi, -.cA formed part of the
reply by Senator Hoar to Erving wius.ow.
Secretary of the New England Anti-In-
perialists' League.
Senator Hoar makes the point in opening
that nc never held that any Of the anti:
imperialists had agreed with h,Fl in his
announced policy Of opposing imperialism
and supporting Mckinley, but ths. h was
answering a charge OF apostacy, preferred
by Mr.. WINSTON. and for this purpose made
the quotations from the correspondence
with Ex-Governor Boutwell,,
Senator Hoar quotes from one OF his let
ters p a perso.. who had written in praise
OF his stand against the polic' OF the AG-
miuistration, in which, he hat said: The
Democratic party, II they VIII stand to-
gether. can defeat this policy. In so doing
they will go far to expiEte the crime OF the
rebellion and the crime Of slavery ard at
tempted crime of debauch.ng the currency.
But | am afraid they have not the wit TO
see their opportunity" Mr.. Hear coz
tinues:
Now. the Democratic party failed to
rise to the occasion. bIr. Bryan caused
the treaty which without him would have
been defeated, to be ratified. The e0ldi-
ton Of things which I predicted has come.
