Democratic State convention aims for higher political standard
The 1888 Massachusetts Democratic State convention at Springfield is expected to reflect a higher order of political endeavor influenced by the national party. Observers hope for a broad platform aligned with the Cleveland administration and prudent selection of a candidate, with the Russet family as a favored option and Mayor possible for acclamation. Boss Quay expands party machinery, recruiting a Knights of Labor secretary and a mysterious "Forrest K. Moreland" who calls a national farmers convention in New York City four weeks hence. The invitation lacks transport plans, risking low turnout and uncertain expenses.
