BosroN. Oct Sin the Republican State
convention to-day Senator Lodge maze a
remarkable speech nominating Auditor
Turner. He said in part:
1T would he exaggeration TO say that
the coming elections In New YORK ana
Massachusetts will he the Austerlitz OF
American politics, but IL ia no exaggeratloh
TO say that the coming elections in New YORK
and Massachusetts, will decide whether the
Government of those two States shall he
American or Cossack.
They will determine whether those States
shall move along the well tried paths oil
order and liberty and free representative
Government or become the prey OF To-
menters Of class hatred and OF the out
avs and noma1s OF politics.
The effect of Republican defeat this year
n these two great States would be FELT
throughout the country and would shake
business stability and confidence in the
future to their very foundations. A great
{ responsibility therefore rests upon us. We
seek no merely partisan victory, and we
throw our doors open TO all men OF all shades
of D%olitical faith who will join with US IN
defence Of the good name of the state and
OF the principles upon which order and
freedom alike are founded.
I'VE have no concessions to make to the
doctrine of those who for1 the moment have
seized upon the Democratic party. We
stand by our principles and beliefs without
variation or shadow OF turning, and we
should be unworthy of any mans conf
dence if we we're weak enough to palter
with them. 1t is our duty to lay aside all
personal differences. if any exist, and re-
member only that as we think alike con-
corning the Republic we must so act, and
must wage our battle in perfect harmony
and with unbroken ranks"
Former Attorney-Genera Parker brought
down the house when he declared that the
Democratic party is incinerated to-day,
withered and shrivelled in the heat of one
mans ambition, and shackeled to a chariot
which, if have any knowledge TO the points
of the comrass and the geography of the
place, is hound TO that bourn Of perpetual
fire.

tariff plank, upon which so much study
has been given the past three weeks, al
though it declared the qnwavering adher-

high protective principle.
The motion for its adoption went through
without dissent. which pleased Mr., Moody
greatly. He said after ward that he thought
Il remarkable that although they knew
there was a division OF sentiment in the
marty over the revision question:, yet the
convention without objection accepted the
plank which practically copies that of the
New York convention and Incorporates
the language Of the President, that revision
of the tariff should he by its friends and
not until such a revision would do more
good than harm TO the Industries OF the
country.
The author Of the platform appreciated
his not only a. a personal compliment, but
as a loyal Endorsement OF President Hoose-
yelt's policy by the Massa chusetts Republic
cans. He will carry back this word to
Washington when he returns tomorrow.
On the tariff the platform says
I'VE declare our unwaverlng adherence
