BosTON, Friday, Sept. 10, lo5G.
The action Of the Fremont State Convention at
Worcester is generally satisfactory to the Repubi
cans and Americans. The Republican Convention
acted judciously in making no nominations of State
officers. For though more than twO-thirds Of the
delegates were willing from motives of policy, to
nominate the Gardner ticket, the other third were
so vehement in their opposition that furious bolt
would have taken place if Gardner had been nomi-
mated The course pursued Of making no nOmina-
ton was acquiesced in by both sides, and is pecul
iarly satisfactory to Gardner and his followers, who,
naturally enough desire the credit of carrying the
State on their own hook without any official aid
from the Republicans. There can be no doubt that
Gardner will be reelected, as many Republicans
will vote for him, and the OPT OsltlOn ls not likely TO
concentrate on any candidate.
The American Convention behaved IN a very
courteous and straightforward manner toward the
Republicans, to whom they certainly accorded all
that the Republicans had right to aska full union
on an Electoral ticket, and on the reelection of
Sumner. On both the points the Americans acted
promptly and unanimously The result will be
that Fremont and Dayton will have majority in
Massachusetts, which The Boston Journal mod
crate and prudent paper, estimates at $1,000;
while Charles Sumner will be returned to the Sen
ate by the unanimous vote of the Legislature. The
opposition cannot carry town or city IN the State
ii the Fremont men continue united.
Appearances indicate that in some of the Con-
gressional Districts the Wings Democrats and Fill
more men will form a combination to defeat the
present Members do not think they can succeed
though they are confident of being able TO GUST
