Boston, April 26. The Bostons and Jim
Mutrie'a new Giants played a great game
here to-day in presence ot 1,021 people. The
grounds were not in very good condition,
bat despite that fact the fielding was ex
tremely good. Young Rusie pitched for
the visitors and the home players couldn't
touch him. His work in the box was first
class and he proved himself to be a great
pitcher. In him Ma trie has a jewel. Buck
ley caught him admirably.
The game was devoid of much excitement, as
the batting was not heavy. Iong, Tucker and
Ganzel effected a brilliant triple play, which
caused enthusiastic cheers. Nichols, Boston's
new pitcher, did extremely well, and is a prom
ising man. The home team tried hard to win,
but the New Yorkers were too cood. They
played a fine game, and Mutrie is very en
thusiastic about his team. He thinks they are
pennant winners. Score :

WORDS OF WELCOME.
TOAST31ASTER DALZELL INTRODUCES
THE GOVERNOR.
The Pnrpose of the Gathering Not a Parti
san One An Old Instinct Answered
Grnnt'a tlfe n. standard Worthy Any
Man's Emulation.
After the letters were read, Congressman
Daliell said:
I have been assigned the pleasant duty of
bidding you welcome to the Americus board,
and to a participation in the festivities of the
evening. Though we meet as Republicans, we
come together for no party purpose, nor in the
interest of any living man or set of men. Wo
meet to honor the dead. Whatever may be our
individual views and preferences and preju
dices upon any of the many subjects that in
terest us, we are one to-night in a common
sentiment of loyalty to the memory of Grant.
We come, as bas been our wont, to lay our
green cbaplet upon bis tomb in token of cur
belief that because be was brave, sincere, loyal
and wore the whlto flower of a blameless life,
it is good for us and for our children that we
bear him in perpetual memory. In so aoinc.
we do nothing new in kind. We but answer to
an instinct as old as the race. There never has
been a time since the morning stars sang to
gether, and man looked into the eye of his
lellowman, when men have not worshiped
men. Ve have no grasD or conception ot great
virtues save as they have been incarnate.
The Reward of Heroism.
Among all primitive peoples the reward of
heroic and praiseworthy lives was a place
among the gods. All religions save our own
have wrapped the dead clay of mortal heroes
in the habiliments of heaven, and peopled the
ether with deified men. Even a Christian civi
lization conceives of the infinite only through
its knowledge of the finite. Divine attributes,
so far as we know them, are only human virtues
exagjreratca.
The Puritan genius of John Milton rising to
a poetic conception ot anotber world, and its
actors, found only the same materials out of
which to fashion characters that were used
centuries before for a like pnrpose by the
pagan genius of Homer. Instead of deifying
and by means of celebration of natal days and
other like ceremonies, keep them as a perpetual
example before us.
The character of the state," said Wendell
Phillip once, is shown by the character of
those it crowns. The honors we
grant," said be. "mark bow high we stand, and
they educate the future."
We are willing to be measured by our estima
tion of Grant. No man In our history more
truly illustrates the capabilities of American
manhood, the possibilities of Ame rican citizen
ship, the reward amone Americans of faithful
ness and devotion to duty, no man's life more
than his f nmishes a worthy standard for the
young men of each generation, upon whom in
their turn are to devolve the burdens, the re
sponsibilities and the honors connected with
the administration of a nation self-governed.
A Rlsbt to Be Proud of Him.
As our contribution to the great soldiers of
history whose genius bas molded events, has
made and unmade empires and States, we have
a right to be proud of the silent captain who
led our citizen armies to splendid victories.
But more admirable than the genius of the sol
dier Is the simple, unpretentious character of
the man. Pure of private life, clean and stain
less of reputation, lofty of purpose. loyal with
a knight's devotion to a simple conception of
duty, with the courace to darr, and the will
and ability to do, he marcher1 from private sta
tion to the height of a sublime leadership, and
in the blaze of a world's vision commandad
universal regard.
A company of distinguished gentlemen, some
of whom it will be your pleasure and profit to
hear, honor us with their presence and give
dignity to tho occasion. To them I convey
your thanks and your most cordial greeting.
As is fitting, the first toast of the evening is
"Grant."
"Our greatest yet with least pretence;
Great in council and great in war,
Foremost captain of his time.
Rich in saving; common sense.
And, as the greatest only are.
In his simplicity sublime."
And as is also flttinr- we shall bear, in re
sponse to toast and sentiment, from a soldier
who followed Grant's leadership, and under
his country's Has. and in its defense, proved
his patriotism and his valor by the testimony
of his blood a soldier not less distinguished as
a civilian, wearing the honors of his Common
wealth Governor James A. Beaver.
GBAHT AN AMERICAN.
GOVERNOR BEAVER'S TRIBUTE TO THE
bOLDIER sTATEsHtN.
What Grnnt Stood Tor to lbs BInn of To
Day Constant Need of Snch an Exnmplts
for Young Men Oni 'Who Met Hi
Opportunities.
Governor Beaver, when he arose, found it
necessary to stand silent awhile until the
assembly had paid to him its tribute of
generous applause. Then he read his ad
dress, as follows:
Wo bow beiore the majesty of a great name.
Wo revere an impressive memory. But a mere
name wins scanty courtesy from the American
public, and tbe memory must be more than a
shadow to merit the reverence of the present
day. And so, Mr. Chairman, when you mention
Grant in this presence we recognize that tbe
name stands for something for a breadth of
character, for a height of achievement, and for
a wealth of resources which has received the
homage of tbe world you recall a memory
which grows as the years grow, and which
challenges more and more the admiration of
mankind.
It is not my purpose to analyze the character.
or to recount the achievements, or to summa
rize the sterlinc qualities of the man whose
memory we honor by this anniversary banquet.
A hundred biographers have done this in a
way which makes Grant's life and character
more familiar to us than our own. Hither let
me speak of a very few things in which Grant
stood for the man of to-day, and from which
we may possibly gather something of inspira
tion and help for tbe present and time to
come.
Our lives are a singular mixture of opportun
ity and e(Tort,of open doors and occupancy. We
have little to do with the opportunities; it is
not ours to open the doors, when the oppor
tunities are presented, however, it is ours to
make the most of them; when the doors are
open it is ours to enter in and possess them.
IJegreta When Too Late.
Oar wisdom consists in seeing when our op
portunities come to us. and recognizing the
open door when it is before us. It is vain to
regret the opportunity when it is past, it is
folly to embrace it before it is presented. We
cannot enter the door before it is open, it can
not be forced after it is shut. You may call
these opportunities luck; you may call
them fate, you may call them Provi
dencethe orderings of a higher power.
Call them what you will, the fact is, they are
independent of us. outside ot us and beyond
us. The man is wise who bas the ken and the
will to recognize and use his opportunities
when they come. This we call success. If I
study Grant's life to any pnrpose it is summed
up in two main characteristics: Patience to
wair; determination to do. He waited for his op
portunities, did not seek them in the sense of
being impatient to findthem. did not anticipate
them, did not force them. When thoy came bo
was ready: he knew ibeyhad come, be em
braced them, he met all requirements, andthe
result was the success which he achieved, the
great name which we worship and tho immortal
ruemorv which the world reveres.
Opportunities for usefulness and fame have
not entirely passed away. Ours may not come
to us in camp and court. They may not offer
to us tbe lead of mighty armies, the chance for
great victories, or tho achievement of brilliant
successes which startle the world. Tbey come
to us nevertheless, to eacn in his time and
place. Well for ns and well for the world, if
wpII equipped, knowing what is required of us,
and able to till the requirements of our day,
we can embrace our opportunities and leave
the world our debtor.
An Illustration Presented.
Let me Illustrate: Time, the present, year of
our Lord 1S90. Place, the House of Rcpre' enta
tives of the Congress of tbe United States.
Dramatis personal, the presiding officer of the
House, clerks, pares, etc., ana tbe Representa
tives of the sovereign people of the United
States. All are present or accounted for.
The play is tbe great fundamental question
of popular government the right of the ma
jority to rule. The preidlnc officer Is met with
the strange paradox of "corporeal presence"
and "parliamentary absence" of tho minority.
Thev are present for the purpose of demanding
a vote; they are self-asserted absentees when
tbe vote is taken. Hero is an opportunity.
The presiding officer Is equal to the emergency.
He counts a quorum, lie declares the result,
and popular government has won. He is here
to-nicht, your honored guest, the Speaker of
tbe House of Representatives. For a brief iav
J the minority protest, but now the precedent is
acknowledged, the rullnc is followed, and the
president of the highest legislative body of one
of our great commonwealths, himself a member
of the party of the minority. Indorses the action
otth Speaker, and there Is a general acquies
cence in the wisdom and tbe common sense
of the rule. Grant stood for his time, for our
time, and for all time as tbe personification of
patriotic impulse and patriotic effort. Through
out all his career In military and in civil life,
dominating all his acts, rising infinitely supe
rior to the faults and foibles which were em
phasized and exaggerated at the time, was bis
broad patriotism, which covered our whole
country, and embraced within the scope of its
desires and efforts the good of the whole
people of every class and section.
A Need of the Hoar.
There is constant need, never more than now,
that such an example should be held up for
the Imitation of the young men of the coun
try. Great questions which affect the welfare
of the entire people, which go to the root of
our industrial as well as our political inde
pendence, which must influence tbe future
welfare as well as the present prosperity of the
entire country, is upon us. They must be dis
cussed and decided in the broad, comprehen
sive, statesmanlike, patriotic way. Not from
tho standpoint of what Pennsylvania needs, or
Maine wants, or Louisiana must have, or Ne
vada demands, but from the infinitely broader
and higher standpoint of what will meet the
highest welfare of all our people throughout
the length and breadth of our entire country
in every section of it. I need not specify or
particularize these questions, tbey now engage
the thought or the country and tbe considera
tion of our lawmakers. Thev aro discussed in
the press, on the rostrum, in the legislative
halls, on the street corner, in tbe bank parlor,
and in the shop of the artisan. What is
the patriotic sido of each of these questions!
On which side do tbe interests of the United
States lie? These once settled without nassion,
or prejudice, or self-interest, let there be no
doubt upon which sido we are found. Let us
be found as Grant was found on tbe side of
country against section; of the welfare of tho
whole people against tbe interests of the few.
On tbe tariff question, on the silver question,
on the question of international copyright, on
all the great questions which we are facing to
day, let us be ready to take the broad view, the
patriotic view, and pursue the policy which
will assure us the enjoyment of tho independ
ence, political and industrial, for which our
forefathers fought and which we aro constant
ly called upon to defend.
Grnnt nn American.
Grant was an American. Not in the narrow
sense. Although neither illiberal nor pre
scriptive, he believed that American institu
tions were best for tbe American people, and
that tbey should be upheld and maintained
under all circumstances and under all hazards.
He bad raro prescience as to questions which
were likely to confront us and as to the manner
in which those questions wonld be presented
for tbe decision of tbe people. There was no
uncertainty in regard to them. Although be
has not left us, as Washlncton did, a formal
farewell address, embodying his views and his
counsel as to the future, we are no more in
douot as to what bis views were and what his
counsel would be in a given emergency than we
are in regard to tbe attitude of Washington
upon the great questions which he lore
saw as likely to engage the thought
and tbe attention and to demand tbe de
cision of tbe country. Urant was not voluble,
as we know, but a sentence or two now and
then upon questions not deemed immediately
pressing, made a profound impression upon the
pcoplo at the time and will likely now be re
called, as some of the subjects to which ho
referred are under consideration and may be
come more and more debatable and debated
questions. As be was for country against sec
tion, so be was tor America against all influ
ences which seek to dominate her and control
her interests from the outside. Docs he upt in
this stand for usT And is not his attitude our
attitude upon all questions of this class? I do
not now refer especially to the Chinese ques
tion or to tbe soliool question, or to the immi
gration question, or to any ot tho so-called
dangers to American institutions.
Necessity of Being Americans.
Whatever the threatened danger may be, let
us be sure that our attitude in regard to it shall
be thoroughly American. Do I mistake when
I assert that Grant as an American, friendly to
all nations, unwilling to do Injustice to any,
heedful of the rights of others, but strenuous
as to bis duty to his own country, stands for us
and represents onr attitude on this qnestion?
Surely this Americus Club will recognize him
as their representative on all questions which
affect tbe interests of our people as tbey aro
related to foreign influences and foreign
countries.
Grant's name and character stand for many
things to which I have not alluded. It has not
been my purpose, as already remarked, to
present an analysis of his character or to even
mention the sterling qualities of the man. I
admire as much as anyone can the atfection for
family, the lojalt) to friends, the gratitude to
benefactors, which were prominent elements
of his private character, and which influenced
him to a greater or lesa decree in his uubhc
acts. Tbe purpose has been to emphasize two
or three points in which his public attitude
and character and for what is important and
desirable in tbe present, and this purpose bas
been pursued, so far as time and space are con
cerned, with reference to tbe propnetios of the
occasion and the rights of those who are to fol
low me.
There hangs upon the walls of the Executive
Chamber of Pennsylvania a bronze medallion,
above which are the words: "Trlumvii Amer
ican!." Below: "Pater 1789-93. Salvator 1881-65.
Custos lb69-73." No American need be told
whose profiles are therein represented. I do
not say at this tim j and in this presence which
of then is, in my judgment, the greatest.
Each one of them served his country well.
Each one ot them represented the character
istics which I have in this brief way attempted
to emphasize. Bach one of them is honored as
no other Americans are honored by the public
observance of the day of their birth. All of
them deserve this recognition. Washington,
Lincoln, Grant we do not disiinguish invidi
ously among them. Each was an American,
each was a patriot, each met his opportunities,
embraced them, and fulfilled thur require
ments. All live and will live in tho hearts of
their countrymen in grateful and immortal
memory. Whatever choice we may have
among them, certain it is that no one will
question the taste or the patriotism of the
Americus Club, so long as it shall choose to
celebrate in this public and dignified way the
birthday and memory of Grant.
THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM.
SPEAKER REED'S ADVOCACY OF FED.
ERAL ELECTIONS.
He Says the Soatb Jusllflcs Fronds and Onl-
rnges. While Denying Their Commission
Ho Would Ilnve the Government Take
Charge of Elections.
Toastmaster Dalzell, in introducing
Speaker Beed, said:
There are two things characteristic of the
Republican party. First, tbat in the march of
progress it always leads, guiding tbe nation to
advanced ground: and second, that in its
leadership, it is itself always magnificently led.
Twenty-five years of significant history, filled
with stirring events, and marked by tbe mot
stupendous strides in the advance of civiliza
tion are its contributions to the life of tbe
century. Before its resistless and victorions
march, the system of human slavery was
beaten down; under its enlightened legislation,
the bondsmen of 2U0 years, unshackled, reached
out free hands to grasp the rights of free men.
By its righteous decree, established by the
blood of tbose it led, the confederacy ot sov
ereign States crumbled even in theory and our
starry banner was planted over a sovereign
nation in fact, as in sentiment, e pluribus
nnum of many parts, one inseparable and In
destructible whole. Upon every page of our
national statute books are written the laws
which evidence its devotion to tbe twin priu
ctoles of freedom and ot nationality and its
wisdom in devising tbe means to buttress both.
To tbe muster roll of those canonized in
honor for all time, it bas added a long list of
illustrious leaders including Lincoln- and
Grant.
The Republican party is no less conspicuous
now than it bas always heretofore been in
practical response to the demands of the time,
and no less fortunate now than heretofore in
possessing tbe genius of leadership.
A Modest Prediction.
I venture modestly to predict that should the
Fifty-first Congress achieve no other distinc
tion, posterity will bear it in grateful remem
brance for tbe revolution therein accomplished
in parliamentary methods, whereby legislation
was made practical and of purpose, and not a
game fit only for schoolbojs.
It needs no prophet to foretell that his name
will be beld inlasting honor.whose independence
of judgment refused to' be bound by bad pre
cedents, whose practical statesmanship con
ceived light methods of relief, and whose
courage, in the face ot wavering friends, and
bitter and abusive foes, established as tbo law
ot legislative action, reason, and not form,
common sense, practical business methods and
not an abased and useless custom.
Mr. Crocker, one time President of the Mas
sachusetts Senate, in his book on Parliamen
tary Procedure, says that "when Hatsell com
piled his "precedents.' toward tbe close of the
last century, parliamentary law was so little
developed as a science, lounaea upon reason,
tbat be was led to make tbe following state
ment: Alt the reason for forms is enstom, and
tho law of form is practice. Reason is quite
of doors."
I am happy to be able to introduce to you to
night the masterful man who opened wide tbe
doors and led reason in, and crowned her, and
not custom, as the presiding genius of Na
tional legislation the Speaker of tbe House
of Representatives Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of
Maine.
How the Lion was Received,
"When Speaker Beed lifted lis ponderous I
form above those who surrounded him, the
first ripple was a sharp round of hand clap
ping. Then the cheering began, and at
least half of those present arose and waved
their handkerchiefs. The big Speaker
bowed gracefully, and then began his ad
dress in that keen, far-reaching tone so well
known in the Capitol. While he spoke,
dwelling principally upon tbe negro prob
lem, he was backed by a dado ot colored
waiters, who lined the wall behind him,
breathlessly listening to his words and smil
ing at his broadest phrases. Mr. Heed did
not refer to his notes, but spoke freely,
though with deliberation, being often
stopped bv applause, laughter and cries of
"Good, gSod." He said:
Speaker Reed's Response.
Your toast strikes tbe only possible noto of
continued victory for the American party.
Continued victory we must have. Not as par
tisans, but as patriots. Not on the past must
be our reliance, but on the future. If we are
not to-day in tbo fore-front of human progress,
to have been followers of Abraham Lincoln in
the years gone by is not an honor, but a burn
ing disgrace. Progress is of the essence of Re
publicanism. To have met great emergencies
as they arose has been our history. To meet
emergencies as they shall arise must be our
dally walk and duty, or wo cease to be. Hang
ing onto old traditions is tbe business of the
Democratic party, and it does that business
well; we can never rival it.
I have not for years been of those who have
talked about the bouth. For tbe last eight
years no man has heard me, in the House or in
tbe campaign, discourse upon either outrages
or wrongs, murders or shootings or hangings.
My silence did noc arise from any approval of
murder, of terrorism, or fraud at elections. It
did not arise from any ignorance of facts, or
any doubts of the great wrongs which are per
petrated against Government by tbo people.
Until tbey were aroused, any efforts of ours
would be utterly in vnin. In fact, politicians
are only eleventh hour men. They are worthy
of their penny, but tbey never bear the burden
and beat of tbe day. If tbey cry aloud before
their hour, they only turn back the shadow of
the dial.
Tho Trials of tbe South.
Itisknonnto everybody tbat tbe South de
nies that cheating is part and parcel of tbeir
elections. It is equally known to everybody
tbat tbat denial is not true. The South has
passed through many stages. Tbe Ku Klnx
first depldyed its midnight terrors to intimidate
voters. Then came themldnlght shootingsand
hangings: then the bulldozing and the driving
of the negro politicians into the woods, in the
darkness of the night. At present tbe murders
have mostly passed away, ind tbe terrorizing
andthe midnight marauders. Ballot box stuf
fing and cheating in tbe count have taken their
places. Throughout all thin variety of wicked
ness, I call upon you to note one singular fact,
that while it existed every one of these crimes
against the Government ras most solemnly de
nied by Southern press and Southern people.
No man denies them to-day.
Let us come at some principles which are
fundamental in this matter. A negro is a citi
zen of the United Statos. He bas just as mu:h
right to vote and hare his vote connted as any
body on earth. That ho is poor and ignorant
does not. under the Constitution, put upon his
neck tho foot of riches or of intelligence. Man
hood, and not riches manhood, and not learn
ing, is the basis of our Government. We would
like all our citizens to be learned; we wish tbey
were all rich: but until tbey become both we
will take the average of all of them as tbey are.
Nothing less than tbat would be government
"by the people."
Justified While Denied.
While the South denies tbe frauds in elec
tions, tbe cheatings and ballot-box stuffings,
singularly enough they justify them. Why they
defend them if they don't happen, you cannot
understand on the principles of logic, but jou
can on the principles of lying. Tbe defense is
tbat otherwise the white race would be domin
ated by ignorance. Tbat defense may
do for Mississippi, but it will
not do for the United States. In
Mississippi the blacks are tbe more numerous.
In the United States tbey are but a handfnl.
If, in tbe Congressional districts where they
are in the majority, tbey should combine and
send one of their own color, they could only
muster 30 out of S30. When, therefore, any
Southern gentleman, however eloquent, seizes
on your race feeling, proclaims the danger of
ignorant rule, and wakens yonr sympathy for
bis misgovernment, do not for an instant forget
tbat all that bas nothing to do with Federal
elections. If Mississippi be in danger of igno
rant domination, the United States is not.
If cheating at the polls be only a pious fraud
in South Carolina, excusable because the white
man is superior in intellect though inferior in
numbers, there can be no sucb an excuse in
tbe elections where the white man, with bis
superior intellect, is superior in numbers also.
In other words, the excuse, whether it be
bid or good, for cheating at State elections
ninnnh hi (jnrood YMavnntl Kt"itt o-i0ff-1riTie
When a Federal election is ueld it bas nothing
to do with State government, but becomes
part and parcel of tbe government of the
United States at large, where there Is no possi
bility of negro domination, ignorant or other
wise. Entitled to It and Need It.
The Republican vote of tho Soatb, the Re
publican party is entitled to, under tbe Consti
tution, whether that vote be ignorant or sensi
ble. If ignorant, we need it to offjet the Dem
ocratic Ignorance which votes in New York
and other largo cities. Why should they poll
their ignorance, and we not poll ours? What is
the remedy? When, last Thursday, in the Sen
ate, tbe committee In charge reported an en
largement of tbe powers and uses of the United
States supervisors over State elections, the
Senator from Alabama tooktbe unusual course
of declaring, then and there, that such super
vision of the State elections was unconstitu
tional, and would lead to bloodshed and mur
der, and would be resisted by all possible par
liamentary tactics.
What, then, is the remedy? I sneak only for
myself. What I say binds nobody but me. and
not even me, if tbe Republican party prefers
another policy; but, speaking for myself, it
seems to me that the only wise course is to
take into Federal bands the Federal elections.
Let us cut loose from the State elections, uo
our own registration, our own counting and
our own certification. Then the nation will be
satiilkd. Against this course no constitutional
objection can be urged. Tbe Yarborougb case,
a decision of the bupremo Court, covers it all
over. No objection can bo urged against it
on account ot sectionalism. It applies North
and South, East and West. It will put an end to
all bickerings. The Southern States will tben by
themselves grapple with the problem of whether
any State of a republic can permanently
enthrone injustice. Freed from l right of
interference except moral and advisory from(
fcUOXlUIbU, 111LU1U M1CU linu UUIUClUU IVlbU-
in the limits of their own State rights, tbey
will have what thiy have longed for the pow
er to work out their own peculiar problem
themselves; and I venture the prophecy, as I
sincerely entertain tbe hope, that the relief
from outside pressure will break down tho race
issue, and as tbe Southern people divide, not
on tbe color issue but on the questions which
make up sound politics and good government,
then, as the Constitution and principles of our
Americau 65 stem always intended, tho voter,
whether white or black, villi contribute bis
share to the government of all, and the hopes
which were at the foundation of all our great
sacrifices will be finally and completely ful
filled. At the conclusion the Speaker was given
such a hearty Americus ovation, with three
cheers and a tiger, that he felt called upon
to rise again from his chair and bow his
thanks.
NEEDS OF THE NEGRO.
MR. CLARKSON DRIFTS FROM
1'RES!) TO THE SOUTH.
THE
He Is Proml He Is Partly a Pennsylvania
Where tbe Democrats Have a Con
ceded Advantage Bat One War to Deal
With the Color Problem.
After the addres by Speaker Reed, Toast
master Dalzell announced that the next
toast, ''The New South;" was to have been
handled by Mr. McComas, ot Maryland,
who bad been unable to come. Mr. Dalzell'
said: "I very much regret his absence, be
cause I believe he would have been willing,
as a Southern man, to follow in the lead of
the Speaker. I believe that the Speaker
voices the intelligent Republican sentiment
of the country to-day in his advo
cacy of a Federal election law,
and' that we never will hav a new
South until the time comes when tbe Federal
authority reaches to every vote on American
soil, and we shall have on every foot of the
land, a free ballot and a fair count. Ap
plause. Then shall we have a new South,
representing integrity, honesty and man
hood. Applause. I believe further that
we shall never have a new South until the
men of the Soutb, turning tbeir backs on
the past and their eyes to the future, shall
cease to erect monuments to dead traitors
and commence to erect manufactories.
Applause.
Mr. Dalzell then presented Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson, to respond to
the sentiment, "The Republican Press."
Mr. ClnrksoiN Remarks.
An,, M.d. P.nn.vl.nlat Hn. nv,.mt .,
the AUegheoles without feeling the majeity ol
this State and the greatness of this people.
Here is an empire of beauty and power, where
opulence of natural wealth blesses a people of
industry in homes of contentment, I speak of
it with a partial tongue. It is a State very dear
to me. For it is not a stranger's blood tbat
leaps in my veins in affectionate response to
the mention of its uame. It was long the home
of my kinsmen, many of whom remained to
sleep in its soil. A few miles up one of the
busy rivers that bold In tbeir arms this city of
commercial victory my mother was born.
Therefore, I am in part Pennsylvanlan, and
every foot of Pennsylvania soil and every leaf
of laurel about tbe famo of the State or the
fame of any ol its people is very dear to me. I
love it for all that it is in history and for all
that It bas done in brave and generous way for
country and mankind.
It was in Valley Forge tbat tbe Continental
Army, nursing back into life dying hope, found
the renewed courage tbat Insured the Amer
ican Republic. It was at Gettysburg that the
Union Army, with itsvalor and blood, placed
the scarlet lin of sufficient defense between
the exultaut rebel army and tho discouraged
Government at Washington. In all the great
crisis of a nation, in every time of every great
and honest need of mankind, Pennsylvania bas
proved its humanity, its faith in God and its
love for man. So say I here, as a son returned
to tbe borne of his forefathers, God bless the
noble and faithful old Commonwealth.
Tbo Days of Parades Past.
If I were going to make a speech in politics,
and if I were going to speak for the Republi
can press, as I have been asked to do here to
night, I would say many plain things in this
time of plain need. I can speak little for the
press, as I have been a trnant from my own
work for over two years, and hardly feel the
title to speak here in its behalf to-night, al
though my heart has been witb it all the time I
have been in other works.
Tbo consideration of the press dally grows
more and more important. We are in a state
of transmission somewbat as to methods. Mr.
Brlce was much derided for bis phrase in 1S83
that the campaign of tbat year was an intel
lectual one; yet his statement was true. Po
litical contests are coming more and more to be
fought in tbe arena of discussion and in the
newspaper press. Tbe days of parades and
physical demonstrations are pretty plainly
passing away. The torchlight and the red
light as political arguments are being super
ceded by tbe intellectual discussion of tho
press. The campaign of 1892 will be largely a
newspaper campaign, and it bas already begun.
Let us be frank, and say tbac tbe Democrats
saw this before the Republicans, for any close
observer must have seen with Interest, and
almost astonishment, tbe marvelous manner in
which the Democratic party bas been strength
ening its lines in the newspaper way in the
past lew years. It did not uso to care much
for the newspaper or the magazine did not
use to care as much as the Republican pirty
for the newspaper and the magazine. In latter
days. It has been beating us iu our own game.
In the large cities of the East they have cap
tured nearly all tbe magazines and illustrated
papers.
Parity In Politics Needed.
Mr. Clarkson then dwelt'on his beliefs in
the policy of rotation in office and the plat
form of the Republican party, and added:
I also believe as a Republican, and would ad
vocate as an editor, the purest possible elec
tions. The question of an honest ballot is
higher than anything in politics or partisan
ship, for it involves not only the honor, but tbe
life of a nation, which is dearer to us and more
Erecious to our children than anything of party
onor or splendor. If tbe Australian system
be the right thing, let us have it. In tho South
I think we need tbe Australian system for vot
ing, but an American system for counting.
The Southern question is the great and lumi
nous one of all, no matter how much it is ridi
culed. The tariff is an anchorage, the cardinal
doctrine of faith, and tbe Republican party, in
being true to that, is true to the Republic But
the Republican conscience wants something
that cannot in any sense be called a sordid is
sue. A sacred ballot is the epigram of an enduring
Republic.
it means, 11 adopted, mac tie ooutnern qnes
tion becomes paramount in politics, for there
is no pretense, even by tbe candid opposition,
tbat the elections ot the South are fair.
The destiny or this nation is now known. The
North, Soutb and West are to be neighbors
and allies, all parts of one republic Tberefore,
there is and can be but a common interest in a
common rule of lair play. Tbe North asks
nothing of the Bouth it would not grant itself.
The conscience of the nation cannot be rid of
tbe black man. In tbe wisdom of the Father
of us all the black man bas played an important
part in this Repnblic: and in the continuing
wisdom of the higher powers he is with us still.
The proposition that he sball not vote, the
proposition tbat he shall be sent to anotber
country, ate all propositions against the ver
dict of the war, and against fate Itself. He is
a human being. Because he has been wronged
gives his case more merit rathor than less. This
is his own country, and he may not be sent
away from it. He was born here. He has a
love for home equal to, if not exceeding, tbat
of the white man. Indeed, tbe melodies that
we all sing in our homes are the melodies of
the black man's love for borne. It is a question
to vex the American people; but God some
times vexes people for a wise purpose.
Time to Redress Wrongs.
Six generations of American people have op
pressed and wronged the black man. Tbo
seventh may at least begin, not to add to his
wrongs, but to try to redress them. When the
black man comes bringing five wounds with
him to plead, he must not take six wounds back
with him to show as the only answer given him
in his time of need. The wisdom to settle this
qnestion, it may be hard to find, but It mnstbe
lound. If God rules In the affairs of men (and
I reverently believe tbat be does), tbe solution
for the problem must be gained in the wisdom
that is found when man is alone witb God, as
Lincoln found It on bis knees in tbe dark days
of tbe war. Let God and his rule not be for
gotten in any political calculation. When
Mr. Grady asks tbe North to givo
up its opinion as to the Sonth and
the negro, and asks the Republican
party to give up its platform and principles as
to the South and the negro, he seems to have
forgotten that evcn-if our party bad surren
dered its creed tbe conscience of tbe North,
ana tho conscience of cood people everywhere.
could not, even if it would, give up that by
way of protection to the weak which God never
allows to be given up. Let tbe Republican party
be destroyed, let the North become entirely
dumb, as it is now too nearly dumb, on this
question ot the wrong of the negro; there is
still the great question tbat here is a race of
6,000,000 of people on their knees bofore God
asking for help and protection, wbicb God in
some way will see is granted. So we sav in the
Soutb, and we say to tbe Gradys, good in heart
and eloquent in tongue, Tbe Republican party
could not give you what ou ask, even if it
wanted to do it.
Words Won't Settle It.
Tbo negro is in Amorica, and to stay. He is
an American. He loves bis country. One hun
dred and eighty-two thousand black men stood
as soldiers in tbe loyal army, offering their own
lives to help save the life of the nation. The
black man is a human being and he is a voter.
What is tbe South going to do with him? Its
people, and even its best people, say: We can
settle this question better than tbe nation can.
Perhaps it is right. Perhaps the nation should
grant that. But never can this nation be ex
cused on its conscience from watching to see
that tbe question is in process of settlement
and insisting that in some way it shall be set
tled. Every material interest it has is
involved. The very question of safety in
its home is involved, as well as honor.
Mere words of eloquence wilt neither
settle it, nor begin to settle it, nor abate tbe
interest and duty of tne nation to see it settled.
Thero is a bright spot hero and tbero in tbe
South. Afew days ago the Charleston JTeus
and Courier, in speaking of this subiect said
boldly: "It is useless for Southern statesmen
to condemn the Republican method of solving
tbe negro problem, unless they can suggest a
better method."
This is the wbole thing. It states the Northern
position. The nation has a right to ask the
Soutb how it is going to settle this question,
and when it is going to settle it. Meantime,
the negroes, tbe most patient race the earth
bas ever known, a race that in all Its ignorance
is lifting its hands 10 the light, a race that in
all Its weakness believes in prajer, a race tbat
bas faith that it has the protection of tbe com
mon Father of us all. Is with a pathos and
Mililimity which all races must admire and
many might imitate, waiting under the blast of
the storm for the solution.
Tbe Nrgro Feels Ills Position.
The negro feels the coercion of the situation.
He bas largely given up his right to hold office.
He sajs if that will help to allay Southern
prejudice against him on accojmt of bis ignor
ance be is willing to wait until his 'son is edu
cated, and will be an intelligent voter. The
free school is very dear to the negro. The
Blair bill, wbich a Republican United States
Senate a few days ago defeated, cannot long be
defeated. Tbat measure, or something liko it.
is the forerunner ot tne settlement 01 this
question. The bouth insists that It is tbe ig
norance of the negro to which it objects. Then
let the American school enme and take away
that ignorance; and let the Republican party,
wbich is tbe traditional foe to Ignorance, not
turn its back on this 6,000.000 of people, holding
up its hands to be educated until It shall be
worthy of tho ballot. Meantime, tho negro is
right, and eternally right, in his present posi
tion. He bas largely surrendered tbo right to
bold office, but be is not willing to concede tbat
he had not the right still to decide between tho
white men who are to hold the offices.
Let every Republican realize than anything
else than a brave meeting of this question, and
a brave, honest settlement of it, is not only
treason to the Republican party but perfidy to
tbe nation. Let the Republican party every
where, if the South is willing to ask for na
tional aid to help educate its ignorant inhabi
tants, not refuse to listen to tbe cry. Ignorance

THE PARTY'S YOUNG MEN.
ONE OF THEM SPEAKS FOR THE COM
ING LEADERS.
Tho Mainstay of Republicanism Mr. Tar
tor's Ideas of n Mugwump A Tribute to
Spanker Reed An Appeal Made for a
Protective Tnrlffi
Mr. Eobert "W. Taylor, of New York, was
formally introduced by the toastmaster in a
few words. Mr. Taylor surprised the as
sembly by his clever speech, and at its close
was heartily appl anded. He said:
The first thing I ought to say in this connection
is tbat tbe Americus Club Itself embodies this
toast in all of its breadth and meaning. The type
of young Republicanism is the Americus Club,
And this is so whether we consider it as furn
ishing tbe sinews of war in wise counsel and ef
fective work at borne; or inspiring it with Its
martial presence and kindling enthusiasm the
lagging Republicans of Ohio; or flashing its
gory sunshades along the quiet paths of Broad
way, In any and in all it bas made its impress
on the politics of the country, and the framer
of this sent menl has unconsciously described
tbe generous bost of the evening.
The attitude of tbe young man In politics in
this day and hour Is not the least important
thing to consider; mighty questions press for
solution: youog men are becoming better and
better educated; tbey are becoming more and
more thoughtful; they are inspired witb a sense
of independent thought and action, as tbey
never were before; not an Inspiration to fugi
tive or guerilla warfare between the pickets
and along the outskirts; this has always been
tbe bane of politics as it Is of war: its partici
pants, answerable in no large degree to either
side, have been a pest and a torment since tbe
world began.
Theory About it Mngwnmp.
Why then should we sorrow over tbe mug
wump? Ha has been, and always will be; he is
essential in the economy of human affairs;
what bolls were to Job, such Is the mugwumD
to the body politic Job was patient; let us be
patient. There is an old legend wbich declares
that a blrtn and a death occur at the same mo
ment, and that when a child is born it receives
the intellect of the man who dies. In reflecting
over this I have been led to the conviction that
when the mugwump was born, nobody hap
pened to die.
To the unfettered sense of tbo young man of
to-day tbe most inspiring of recent occurrences
was that wherein the Republican party pro
duced a man brave enough to declare, and
strong enough to maintain, that notwithstand
ing the moss-covered traditions that sur
rounded him, a legislator who was present to
say tbere is no qnornm, was present to be
counted as a part of tbat quorum; that par
ticipation in legislative obstruction was a par
ticipation in every other legislative sense: and
that the day was past when the Speaker migbt
have to say, "I see the gentleman from Illi
nois, and he's raising the mischief generally,
but God forbid that I should say he's here."
The young Republicans say to the leaders of
the party: Let ns have no nonsense en the
Southern qnestion: let us be inst: let us be gen
erous; forgiveness we proffered long, long ago;
no matter If it was received with back turned,
and with a smile upon the unseen face. Let
that pass. But no code of morals and no cansn
of politics demand tbat we turn tbe other
cheek.
One Trust Always Dnllled With.
In tbe wide prosperity that now waits upon
that section of our common country; that has
blessed with ample breadth our brethren of the
Soutb, we all rejoice; but tbo party, to whom
were committed the destines of war and ensu
ing peace, bas much to do before its country
can say: "Well done, good and faithful serv
ant." Since tbe first mistakes of reconstruction
down to the present hour the Republican party
has dallied with its trust in this regard. In the
new awaking, if there be one, there should be
neither rest nor baiting until everywhere, for
every man, shall prevail a free ballot and an
honest count.
The young Republican says to tbe leaders of
tbe party, let tbere be no nonsense on tbe tariff.
Well, you know through what trials tbe intelli
gent young Republican must pass. He is no
longer a creature of traditional, but of individ
ual and original, convictions. He seeks to
plant himself upon the solid ground, and de
fend his convictions against all comers. The
educated young man who receives his first bap
tism of fire in the American College, and if un
tainted by tbe fallacies of tree trade emerges
a protectionist, is made of the kind of stuff
that will maintain the principles of a wise po
litical economy against all odds and in any
company.
Schedules may be faulty; demagogues may
tinker; false empiric reasoning may seek to
maintain it; historic factswhich are mere coinci
dences, may be adduced as effects; bnt never
will the cause of protection fall to command
popular approval while tbo animating princi
ple that lies back of all and justifies and de
mands it shall be held before the public eye.
Ah ye, who fatten your fancies on the other
side, know not the springs of pride and promise
that inspire tbe young Republican of to-day:
grand and prophetic was bis party's past; full
of deeds and mighty in promise is her present;
and wisely led and courageously maintained in
her demands for a free ballot and a political
economy tbat shall deem no country prosper
ous whose people are not happy, her future
will outshine her past, and write her history in
words whose luster nor time nor death can ever
dim or fade.
WOUND UP THE MGHT.
An Adloarnment Jast Before tbo Mlanlght
Hoar Wns Struck.
Colonel Thomas M. Bayne responded very
briefly to the sentiment, "Ways and Means."
In the coarse of his speech he complimented
the several candidates for tbe Governorship.
As to tbe ways and means of Republican
success, he said: "The ways are to choose
the best men to lead ns, and the means are
to raise the money to pat them through."
Laughter and applause greeted this utter
ance. Mr. Dalzell then said: "According to the
invariable custom of this club, the Sabbath
day drawing near, this assembly is now de
clared adjourned."
This was the end of it. Everybody arose,
although many were disappointed that a
few words had not been heard from the sev
eral Gubernatorial candidates. After the
adjournment the distinguished guests from
Washington and the candidates for Gov
ernor held informal receptions in the hall of
the second floor, and were surrounded for
half an hour by friends and admirers.

Isaacs, who were convicted last week' of
stealing a horse from 11 P. West, a farmer
living at Cross Keys, were pilloried for one
hour and whipped with 20 lashes each at
Georgetown to-day. They have a year's
imprisonment also to serve.
There being no jail yard, the whipping
took place on tbe village green, iu a space
roped off to keep back the crowd of 300.
The young men were connected with prom

most hotly contested legal battles ever
known in this section. Since their sentence
strong pressure has been brought upon the
Governor to remit the corporal punishment.
