FIRST GUN FOR REED
Massachusetts Republicans
.Met in Convention Today.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM PREVAILED
Position of Bay State Republicans on
the Financial Question They
Peclare for Sound Money.
Boston, March 27. The Republican
State convention was called to order at
10:15. Long before that hour the dele
gates began to assemble in the hall, and
killed the time by cheering prominent
members as they entered.
The first grand volley- came when
Chairman George H. Lyman, followed
by the state committee, mounted, the
platform.
Lyman called the convention to order,
and the call was read.
Bishop Lawrence offered prayer, and
loquently referred to the justice and
purity and life of the late Governor
Greenhalge.
Mr. Lyman then addressed the dele
gates. He said :
"We are assembled in convention,
empowered by the suffrages of the Re
publican voters of Massachusetts to out
line and determine the policy of this
commonwealth, when she shall meet the
representatives from her sister states at,
perhaps, the most important national
convention in the history of the great
American party. We meet, after a
lapse of four years, to select good men
and true who are to speak for the com
monwealth at the convention, and also
to agree upon and formulate such rules
of government as shall best tend to rep
resent and interpret the principles of the
party we honor the foundation of our
best citizenship. Let the national con
vention stand true to the best interests
of ' the Republican party, an honest
dollar, and the institutions of our coun
try, and the party's defeat is an impos
sibility.
"Gentlemen, our position is a very re
sponsible one. In thought and name
and being we are one with that New
England sisterhood of states whose
proudest record has ever been the loyal
support of those institutions. Why has
no New England state yet met in con
vention? Is it not because they demand
first to heat1 the voice of Massachusetts?
Toward the decline of the 18th century,
with sword and pen, in council and on
the field, New England, with united
purpose, was the most foremost in es
tablishing this great government undef
which we live, and foremost of them all
in freedom's cauBe, with brain and arm,
fought Massachusetts. Then was given
birth to that great bulwark of the Amer
ican people the New England man.
"Today though blessed with peace, we
have issues, no less vital, that must be
diatmctly met. They involve the very
foundation of our' civil structure, of
those institutions of our credit, of our
national honor. Massachusetts owes it
to herself; she owes it to those who
fashioned her in earlier and darker days,
to take her place and maintain her birth
right in the councils of the states. Of
all the states within this wide territory
God's gift to an infant republic in re
ligion, in refinement, in enterprise, in
culture, in its schools, in the fervid and
intense spirit of patriotic Americanism,
by tradition and by example, stands first
and foremost the old Bay state.
"Then let your vote send men to St.
Louis as shall best represent Massachu
setts; that at this last .convention of the
19th century she, and all New England,
may stand no cipher, but a mighty unit,
and with such resolutions as shall re
ceive the endorsements of all Americana
who own a country, and "who demand a
leader as truly American as the princi-

pies he is called upon to defend. New
England cannot be said to be less worthy
of leadership today -than in the old days
of the 13 united colonies, when she pre
sents as her chosen chieftain the name
of Thomas Brackett Reed."
Committees on credentials and perma
nent organization were then appointed.
The credentials committee reported
1851 delegates present, out of 2002.
Senator Lodge, as chairman, present
ed a report of committee resolutions,
and was frequently interrupted with ap
plauBe. This waa especially marked
when the Cuban and gold-standard
planks and the section referring to the
separation of church and state . were
read. The enthusiasm rose to a climax
on the mention of Reed's name for the
presidency. The platform pledges the
electoral Vote of Massachusetts to the
candidate to be chosen by the St. Louts
c invention; it says the government
should have ample revenue with eu5
cient surplus over the ordinary expendi
tures to provide for coast defenses, the
steady building of a. navy, constant re
duction of the public debt; be ieves the
present tariff with lower rates is a de
structive, dishonest system. Under
valuations should be . replaced by one
framed on protective principles and re
store the reciprocity policy of James G.
Blaine; declares American ships should
carry American trade, freight to be paid
by Americans ; entirely opposed to free,
unlimited coinage of silver and any
change in existing gold standard except
by international agreement; opposed to
the unsound and dangerous system of
state banks, supports the national bank
ing system ; restricted immigration ; de
clares., the United States should adhere
strictly to'American principles and an
entire. separation of church and state;
appropriation of public money for sec
tarian schools should not be permitted ;
believe in foreign policy at all times to
be firm, vigorous, dignified; the Monroe
doctrine must-always be upheld; sym
pathize with Cubans in their struggle
for independence; declares preference
for Thomas B. Reed for the presidency.

linery parlors will be pleased to know
