A SPEECH BY THE GOV.-ELECT OF MASSACHUSETTS.

About three hundred of the leading Democrats of Massachusetts dined with the Bay State Club at the American House, Boston, November 15th, in celebration of the victory at the polls. Col. Charles H. Taylor, of tie Globe, presided, and Alpheus B. Alger, prospective mayor of Cambridge, was secretary. Short and stirring speeches were made by Governorelect Bussell, Dr. William Everett, possible Governors Morris, of Conneiticut, Amsden, of New Hampshire, Congress-men-elect Hoar, Coolidge, and O’Neil, and State Auditor-elect Tefrey. Gov.-elect Bussell in his speech said: “With power comes responsibility, and that power is of service to a party only as it makes the party of service to the people That seems to me to be the lesson taught by the political revolution that has swept the country, and not to be forgotten if w<- would deserve and retain the people’s confidence. Bight{y they believed that Democracy stood for them, serving their interest and fighting their battie.— Democracy defendedftheiraghts, demanding that their laws should not be usurped .for selfish purposes; in power let it garner the fruits of victory into legislation for them and the public welfare. [Applause. ] Believing implicitly in the people and that they can be trusted with political power, it is our duty as the people’s party, to suggest and support all reforms that will keep elections free from corrupt methods, legislation untainted by improper influences, and political action clear of selfish purposes, to the end that all law shall be the free expression of the people’s will and its administration shall be honest, just and pure. [Applause.] .""It would be a shame to belittle our victories by making them personal to any man, vet, now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, by common consent there stands forth one taller than the rest, a brave, true, honest man, who was ready to sacrifice himself in political power that he might tell the people the truth and marshal the conscience of the country to assert that justice, equlaity and freedom shall be with us, as with the fathers, the basis of all laws. [Applause.] To him the country owes much and our party owes much. To both he has been a leader who led, and led us' right, ever upward and onward. Now, in the full success and triumph of that leadership, we cannot forget the brave, able, honest Democratic Administration of Grover Cleveland.— [Great applause.] The people of the Commonwealth have given to our party their confidence, and rightly demand in return a faithful administration of their affairs. As I enter upon these new and grave duties with a single purpose of serving faithfully the people, let me rely upon the loyalty of Democracy to aid' and sustain me.”

Indianapolis Sentinel: Judging from the state exchanges, the erroneous idea prevails to some extent that by placing all county officers on salaries, fees wonld be abolished, and the county, and not the litigant would support the officers. Fees will be collected just the same as now, but will go into the treasury instead of being .retained by the officers. If it is found that the fees collected are largely in excess of the amount required to support the offices, then there should be a reduction made in the fee schedule.

The Chicago Tribune, a high Republican Authority, makes this safe prophecy: If be campaign of 1892 is fought on the issue of standing by McKinleyism, the republican candidate will be knocked out worse than Scott was in 1852, who ran on the platform ‘standing byfthe compromises of the constitution*—the fugitive slave law of 1850. Scott carried four states, and the whig party soon after disbanded. A fine line of Books, and cheap, at Fendig & Co’s Drug Store. Rbonounced Hopedess, Yet Saved. Fiom a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd, of Groton S. D., we quote: “Was taken with a bad cold, which settled on my Lungs, cough set in and finally terminated in Consumption. Four doctors gave me up saying I could live but a snort time. I gave myself up to mj Saviour, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles; it has cured me and I thank God I am now a well and hearty woman.” Trial bottles free at F. B. Meyer’s Drugstore, regular size 50c and SI.OO. 4.
