THE PERKINS RECEPTION.

The Republicans Of Rochester, n. Y, who are rep
resented in Congress by Mr.. James Brock Perkins
have rendered that gentleman vote Of thanks and an
invitation to public reception a day to be set by
himself.
Their spontaneous Endorsement of his acts is the
bit Of genuine enthusiasm which has attended the
doings of the Fifty Congress. No bill that
has been passed, speech has aroused in the rank
and file Of Republicans anywhere degree Of INTEREST,"
but Mr.. Perkins, little measure, foredoomed to de-
feat, touched responsive chord and will touch re-
sponsve chord in the Republican breast wherever its
nature becomes known.
Perkins Is a stanch 1nd stalwart Republican,
strong enough to resent the servile attitude of his
partys leaders toward monopoly, and brave enough to
speak out He believes in protection but not for in
dustries which need protection. Still less does he
believe In protection for tine benefit Of monopoly to
the peoples detriment.
He introduced a bill to place coal beef hides and
lumber on the free list and he made vigorous speech
setting forth his reasons That was ALL But he rang
true to the principles Of the Republican voter and his
effort though obviously futile was greeted by a genu-
Inc cutburst.
Republicans the length and breadth of the country
should celebrate the attempt Of Mr. Perkins for he is
the one man in Congress who has shaken OF the
trusts and dared to ask for what his people want He
is Representative in the literal sense. On behalf
of the voter he has demanded the fulment at least
something like fulfllment, of the Roosevelt cam
pagn promise. There should be sort Of Perkins
ception in the Republican ranks everywhere.
Can any one doubt that Mr.. Perkins will be re-
turned to the next Congress? Can any doubt the
genuineness Of the Rochester Republicans? Their &C
claim is the acclaim Of the rank and file even in the
East in the North and especially in the West 1t at
tests better than anything Of recent happening what
the people want. The rank and nle do not make of
the tariff fetish. Their party leaders have deceived
them with Protection have lured them further than
they meant to 60. There ID strong revulson against

The Democrats flbusterng tactics in Congress
were designed not by way Of punishment, but to
drive home to the Republicans the principle that the
minority has rights which may not with impunty
be ignored by mere numerical force The Republican
parv's commission Of high-handed outrage in flch-
ing Buffers seat is generally condemned by Repub-
licans and Democrats alike and It is stated that
