Commonwealth during the last six months I came home from Congress where I had done my duty as I saw but but not perhaps as others would Some of my friends invited me to This in I did not have to as I hud tho one to partake of the dinner with the citizens of New York in when I said my soldiers were in the half fed and half and that I could though away from partake of At this dinner to which I was invited iu there were half a dozen and one of in an afterdinner broached tbe of haying mo elected Gov 1 thought that it was possible that I would b especial ly in view of the fact that I was cheated out of the nomination two years in this very when there wore more votes cast there ought legally to have been delegates I said that if the good people of the Commonwealth want mo for I cannot But they ho is coming to snatch away the Governor how can I snatch it A few think that people may have the elections snatched away from Why do they trouble themselves no man can be elected Governor or anything else unless tho people The question in other parts of the country is whether Grant will have a third I have no interest whatever in the but if the people want they will have him lor a sixth term and the anxious ones who are so interested in the affairs of others will find their why does Hoar find it necessary to see that the people do not get the wrong Gover nor Cannot judge their own affairs as

Republican They forgot that last year they had called upon another to defend when its very ex istence was in Then it was that they jame to me and me on the say Good go and the and help and I went and I went and and of the result you lave Why did not Hoar then General Butler has no right to sustain trio Republican I will go and do all the speaking myself BAD FOR after the little dinner of which I have I went on about my until Chief Justice Chapman and as soon as he news of his death reached the meeting There was a Chief Justice to be ind Hamilton Hall became Then he elder calling me by the name of a notorious English said hat we would have no Tichborne claim ant for Since then I have stood all kinds of because have pot entirely used to and indifferent to I endure it for the same reason as I eri duro the smell of Millers River when I go on the Lowell It came from these men principally because of what they choose to call the back pay grab and salary I determined to speak and and spoke exactly tho truth with one ex I said that your Representative pub liis money where he thought it would do tha most and in this I made a for it was to be divided among his constitu why did he give it to fiva towns making almost for each those five towns were out of the County of He thought he was sure of tha Bounty of Worcester Was that air division It is a I have no objection to I said every man had tho right to do what he pleased with 3omo men have the right to buy glory I bought butchers meat with that he comes out and makes an attack oh me accuses me of being a of being I suppose the next I shall hear of will be See how Butler quar rels with the Hoars I loud Because an attack upon I choose to answer them I call Hoar to wit ness that he never knew me to begin a sonal assault on any man in Congress until I was attacked and he never knew another I was attacked they never knew me to give up the contest until the other side said they were Loud and long ap and HE DID IT WITH HIS LITTLE that being the condition of the question is whether in what have done there is anything Wherein am I a worse man than I was a year ago when this stream of calumny was not poured upon I was the petted favorite of the Republican party at least tho putting of hard work upon me made mo they said 1 took my back salary that I run tbe through the House that I caused it to I did all that I could after I began upon as I generally dowhen I begin any It was brought up in our committee without my knowledge and without my I at first voted against it in the but ascertaining that the Presi dents salary was only onefourth of what Washington s salary I agreed to support tho The question who would present this to the The John said I am going out of Congress I ought not to do John Peters said I am Congress I ought not to do Voor on eminent said I am go ing out of Congress I ought not to do My associates thought that I sometimes achieved success and insisted on my present ing tho At this point a seat in tho rear of the hall tipped over and caused a brief in and ripple of So at tho earnest request of my associates I pre sented and after having presented ft I stated to the House that I did not write al though I had adopted I then pressed it through as a matter of good faith to my com I argued the matter as well as I could I believed in it then I believe in it I do not propose to go much over the ground that has been raised by your I in the first that there were Representatives in Congress who couldnt make both ends I knew they were borrowing money to go through I knew one of the Representatives from this State who had to borrow although ho lived I saw man after man in Cosi because they hadnt the means of sun tempted to take bribes for their I did not believe that 85000 were as much as they were forty years The skilled carpenter in Washingtons time received but fifty cents a but when I undertook to hire a stonemason to po to Washington to superintend the building of my house there he wanted a and ten hours a day at Such has become the difference And you working men who want your wages to go up must let ours go This is tho demagogues they will Tho question how shall this back pay be raised And we said at it it be right to have it raised for the next it is right to havo it raised for this Congress we have been here and done our duty we If it is right to raise the pay for the next Congress It is right to raise it for I have looked into precedents and found it had been raised six and always for the Congress that raised more I found that it was tho will of the Because in 1789 Congress submitted eleven amendments to the Constitution for the people to vote and one of these was that no in crease of pay of Senators or Representatives shall take effect until after an election has been But the people voted it down and put it back into tho hands of Congress has raised its own pay ever and every legislature has elone and every public man has taken in 18m and voted in favor of Sum ner took every Representative took In the pay was raised six per going back to the beginning of and two Rep from Massachusetts voted for Banks and Rico voting it Eliot and

is horribly indignant over back salary Louel applause ami laughter and But then he always takes money when he can get THE SPYS ADVERTISING I have got a little evidence of it in my hand showing a You remember that I wrote a letter to ouo Fay some of you may have seen it laughter and and a friend of mine was afraid that the people here wouldnt see it unless it got into the Worcester He went to the and asked him to publish the It is against my principles to publish stuff as said will you publish it if I will pay you for it it isnt such a bad after What will you put it in for Twenty he put it and
