HOME MARKET CLUB.
Annual Meeting-Geo. w. Wells Presi-
dent-Rcport Of Years Work.

Boston, Nov. 15.-At the annual meet
ing of the Home Market Club, Republi-
can organization which stands for pre-
lection in tariff. here. today. George w.
Wells of Southbridge, was elected presi-
dent to succeed Robert T. Davis of Fall
Eiver, who retires after two years of SER
vice. The secretary and treasurer will
be chosen by the board of directors. The
report of Treasurer Daniel w. Dixon OF
Somerville, shows expenditures during the
year OF $1s,471. leaving a balance. Nov. 1.
of S3e14.
The report of the secretary. Col. Albert
Clark, was devoted mainly to a discus
sion of the recent election in Massachu-
sets.
The report said
1.-The year has been somewhat trying to
the Home Market Club. owing to the ol-
vision of opinion in the Republican party
upon the time for a revision OF the tarlf1,
and to seemingly concerted movements
AGAINST IFS from several directions. Never
tboIess we have made the best fight we
could for the peace and prosperity Of our
industries.
In Massachusetts the tariff agitators,
greatly encouraged by RepuDlcan cOnceS-
sions. last year, determined to test public
opinion by making certain specific de-
mands and having a candidate which
would stand for them. There was a con-
fusion Of issues and it is impossible to
differentiate them so as to estimate the
marty division caused by each, but one
fact stands out clearly and that is that
the Republicans, who were banded to pro.
mote reciprocity and revision, gave theil
support to the Democratic candidate anl
probably several thousand Republicans
followed them.
Never before was money so lavishly
expended in q state campaign in Massa
chusetts as it was this time by the anti
tariff candidate, and never before was tho
Republican party so destitute of the sup
port of the press especially in Boston. OF
their enormous campaign funds not NOR,
than ore-tenth applied to the instruction
of the people in the issues of the cam
paign. The rest is supposed to go fol
work, two-thirds of which should rest
upon the party spirit and the voluntary
patriotism of the people. When men have
to be hired to support their principles
and candidates. popular government is In
danger. This has become the most fla
grant evil of the age

this proceeding and expect to in other
proceedings because he stands. today.
as he did before election, the same
honest, straight-minded and honorable

Mcclellan waits it and it is my duty

no order that would give him one
technical advantage"
