Mir Lunt and silly Mr.. Curtis affect to think that
they can beat him. If anything can make an i'm
precision upon their inyncibe egotism, 1t VIII be the
vote for Mr. Andiew in November. He Is Us pop

When the people of Massachusetts prefer the latter
type Of characte to the former, they will ALLOW
John A. Andrew, to be beaten by LUnt and Curtis,
an6 not before. So much Cor that. The opposition
TO MI andrew was concentrated upon Henry L..
DAVIS of Adams, who received 327 votes while Mr..
Andrew received 1913. There We're only % scatter
ing. The local claim set up for Berkshire County
was prepOsterOu-, aud of course secuted, not
only by the eastern part of the State, but by many
. of the western delegates Berkshire came down
with three candidates for Governor, Dawes, z. Ii.
Kellogg and John Il. Goodrich, and the three other
western counties, Hampshire Franklin, aud Hamp
den, had no candid-t although the old County of
Hampshire, which formerly included these counties,
has bad no Governor since the DAYS OF Caleb
Strong BY great Efforts Mr. Kellogg was induced
10 yield to Mr.. Dawes, but Mr. Goodrich, who is
as well entitled 10 the nomination as either Dawes
or Kellogg, kept the field, and finally received
the nomination for Lieut. Governor, Mr. Trask, the

and Mr.. George C0gswel of Essex County l42.

nomination if q western man had been selected for

of Wing antecedents and education. Henry r.
Oliver of Lawrence nominated for Treasurer
by vote of 545 against AL for 4. G MAYHEM of
Milford. This was the greatest personal triumph of
the day. Mr.. MAYHEM was thought to be sure of
The nomination, but it was given to Mr.. Oliver
because he is poor man, while Mr.. MAYHEM is
wealthy. Mr.. Levi Reed OF Arlington is the candi-
date for Auditor Mr.. Warner, the present Secre-
tary OF State was renominated by acclamation
All the others are new men. George Morey Of
Boston and Reuben A. Chapman Of Springfield
placed at the head of the Electoral tlcket the
District Electors are to be nominated by the Con-
gressit nal COnventlOns-a poor way, bat sometimes
convenient and cOnsOlatOry for defeated Congress
siOnal candidates. Mr.. Sumner made an excellent
speech TO the Convention. Ii was very strong on
the heresy of Squatter Sovereignty advocated
by Douglas and has, probably rot improved the
chances of Eli Thayer for reelection to Congress.
Mr.. Sumner was received with unOOunded applause.
Gov. Boutwell, presided with skill and success, and
a very strong ADDRESS TO the people, written by
him, was reported and adopted. A resolution,
complimentary to Gov. Banks, attached to it,
and cordially iudorscd by the Convention.
The result Of this Convention is in some degree q
triumph of the radical Republicans aad by this /
mean the Republicans who have upheld with stri t.
ness the regular organization and have discouraged
alliances with the American and other entanging
elements. Mr.. Andrews vote swelled by the |
enthusiastic support of tue auti-Bunks men of the
last four wears, though Mr. Andrew has been cor
dial supporter of the Administration, aud not its
enemy in any sense of the word. But the mass of |
Mr. A Is supporters voted for hin without particular
reference to the past They liked the man and his
principles and felt of firm discreet, and
cessful Administration. Mr. Andrew is not a radi-
cal in anv Offensive sense. He Is TOO much a law
Yer to be q Tevolut0nist or destructive. de has

Sending bad men when they are placed IN peril and
fear is too much attached to the rubbish and rust
which mahes the legal profession as now admins

CHASED as a genuine progressive Outside OF the
law however, he is as genuine and healthy a man
as ever lived. But wont recapltulate my elogum
upon him. ! should not wonder if the seeds OF tu-
ture dissessiOn had been sOwn by the nominations
which were made on Wednesday; but feel great
confidence in the wisdom and fairness with which
the State Administration will now he conducted,
and that there viii be very little reason to find fault
with it.
The Beleveretts are beset with the insane notion
that if they can form a coalition with somebody
they can beat Mr.. Andrew, and they viii try to get
the Douglas men to unite with them. Mr.. r. -
Parker. who has q IOtion equally insane, that ne
