NOMINATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS

The unterriied "Democracy" Of the Bay State
met in Convention at Worcester on the 18th inst.
On the second balloting George Bancroft receiv-
ed a majority Of the votes for Gubernstorial nomi-
nation, and was unanimously nominated. Hon.
Henry II. Childs, of Berkshire. was nominated by
acclamation for Lieutenant Governor. 1t is said
he will decline the nomination, having recently &C.
cepted an invitation to ill Medical Proiessorship
in Ohio.
The committee Of nominations recommended for
Electors at large, Gayton z. Osgood and David
Henshaw. The nomination Of the latter was
strongly opposed in Convention, and was defeated.
Hon Samuel c. Allen was nominated in his place.
The opposition arose from his having accepted Of
fee under Tyler and supported his administration.
The Atlas speaks thus tsrtly of the nominee for
Governor -
"The locofocos Of this State have nominal
ted George Bancroft as the person to be sound
" beaten as candidate for Governor, at the en-
suing election in this State. The idea of a
man like George Bancroft being put up as the
foremost man of a party styling themselves
"DemocTats,' is perfectly udicrous. We I'M
dcrtake 10 say that there is not, within the i'm
its Of this Commonwealth, man whose
thoughts, feelings, and whole character, are
less akin 10 the true and pure spirit Of Democ-
racy, than those Of George Bancroft. The
whole tone OF his character is arbitrary, over
bearing, dictatorial, arIstocraiical. We should
sincerely pity the subjectS OF that despotism,
the power Of which was swayed by precisely
such a man as George Bancroft. We thank
Heaven that there is not the remotest chance
that he will ever be called TO rule over the peo-
pie OF Massachusetts,

DAMSG RoBBERIEs AT PORTSMOUTH, N. Hon
the night Of Monday the 18th inst, two stores in
Portsmouth were entered by means Of false keys.
One of them Joseph II. Clark's jcwelry store,
and the villains supplied themselves with $500
worth of the richest jewelry, and gold and silver
ware, which they selected with great skill. A dry
goods store lost about $50 worth of the fines,
goods. Both stores were secured with two locks.

some days, but who has not been since, is

On the Wednesday following, it asceriained
that an unoccuped house in the woods some three
miles from town, hAd been the resort of some I'M

THE TARIFF AND THE LOCO Focos.

M The last Democrat quotes the Madisonian TO
show that 10 its own party and the Iylerites belong
the credit Of passing the present tariff, and II also
charges certain prominent Wings with opposing il.
They did so, as our neghbOr very well knows,
solely because they would not surrender the distri-
button clause to the dictaton of John Tyler. But
if the tariff is such to the land as you rep
resent it, how can you have the face to proclaim so
yauntngly your agency in imposing il : Why are
your 'howlings' over its ruDous effects so soon
changed to cries Of exutation that you had finger
in passing il rather, why do you alternate from
howl 10 a 'crowi'
Perhaps no fact more strikingy proves the excel
lent operation, the rich fruits and the wise policy
Of the tariff of 1872 than this despicable attempt to
6lcb the credit of il from the Wings. So rapidly
Is this bcnc6ceni law gaining in popular favor that
the ocofocos would mpudently claim il as their
project and with horrible grimaces and crocodile
tears on one side Of their faces its grinding
oppression to the poor man, beg his vote from the
other corner Of their mouths as the very party tina,
pushed il through Congress Can such con-
temptible juggle succeed ? No SEVER, while there
is speck of honesty or intelligence in the masses.
And that they may not be in the dark in this affair
we say
KEEP 1T BEFORE rnE PEOPLE, that the tariff Of
1872 was constructed by Wing committee and
passed by Wing Congress, more than three
fouT,hs Of the locofoeos voting against il. The
exact vote on its passage, taking both Houses to-
gether, WA IO2 Wings and % loeOfocos in favor,
and 43 Whirs aud 80 locofocos against IT,
KEEP IT BwoRE TBE PEOPLE, that the locofocos
who voted for he tariff did so because they could
get no better one, all the time scouting the princi-
pie of protection while the Wings who voted
against il favorable TO the protective policy,
but would not consent TO surrender the Land Dis
tribution feature.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THg PEOPLE, that when the Ia
riff Of 1912 originally passed, ioih the distribution

ocofoco (Parmenter of Mlss) in either branch so-

Congress, sustained it,

attempt to break down the tariff, foHr.ffths Of tie
loco focos in Congress voted TO substitute Mr. Me
