WORCESTER, Sept. 28.-It was evident at
the outset of the Labor Convention to-day,
that many and differing interests were repre-
sented, and at some stages the proceedings
were marked by great difference of views,
some OF the speakers attacking or defending
the existing political parties, and discussing
other irrevelant matters Resolutions were
adopted, Of which the following is brief
1st. Asserting that all laws creating dis
tinction in favor of color, condition, nationali-
ty or pursuit are clear violation of the
fundamental principals OF democratic govern
meut.
ID. That all associations of working men or
women formed with view of promoting
their personal or material interests, should
receive the same chartered rights and prvi-
leges at the hands Of the legislators as granted
associated capital. t.-
Sd. Insists upon the reduction of the hours
of labor to eight for all labor employed at the
public expense.
4th. Demanding of every candidate for
political honors pledge that he will advocate
the enactment of a law prohibiting all manu-
featuring establishments in this commonwealth
from employing females and minors more than
ten hours per day.
9Th. Asserting that the exemption of tax f
bonds or securities is violation of the Just
principles of the revenue laws and lays an
unjust burden upon the producing classes of
the country.
OpH. IscCoSHiAinS Tue sCFPiCeS Of tue SOL
diers and sailors.
7th. Asserting that the material prosperity
of the country is due to the laboring classes.
9th. Opposing the introduction into this
country of a servi'e race to degrade and cheap
en- labor.
9th. Calling for the creation Of q depart
mert of labor at Washington.
10th. Urging the friends OF labor to use all
their influence to secure the election of candi-
dates who are unquvocally committed to the
principles embraced in this platform.
11th. Asserting that the recognition of the
claim of the bond d.bolders, that the national
debt is payable only in coin is clear repudia-
tion of the nationai faith.
The following nominations were made: For
Governor, e. M. Chamberlain of Boston; 1t.
Governor, James c. Hathaway of Springfield:
Secretary of State, S. B. Pratt of Randolph;
Treasurer, N. w. Stoddard of North Bridge
water; Attorney General, Chas. Cowley of
Lowell; Auditor, Joseph L. Glines of Haver-
hill. None of the gentlemen named have been
prominent in political matters, and but few of
the delegates were acquainted with the cand-
dates tOr Governor. Loud calls were made for
him to make his appearance on the stand, but
he could not be found The action of the con-
vention is not likely to make much change in
the present political aspect of the State.

Boat RAcE.-The race in working boats be-
tween Shea and Hopkins, for purse Of twen-
ty dollars, which was postponed from Monday
morning on account of the weather, took place
yesterday morning. About half past nine the
contestants started from buoy this side of the
Portland bridge, to pull over course from the
buoy to boat stationed off the English steam
ers' wharf and return, a distance of about two
miles. For the first part of the distance, as far
as Smiths wharf, the two boats kept well to-
gether, when Shea's boat began to draw ahead,
and when of Portland Pier Shea teing about
three boat lengths ahead, Hopkins rowlock
broke, necesstating his giving up the race
Shea pulled over the course and took the prize.
We understand that owing to his misfortune
in the early part of the race, Hopkins is deter
mined TO have another trial. We were very
sorry for Hopkins mishap for he was pulling
bravely.
We understand that Shea has accepted chal-
lenge from Mr.. Eastman to row race to Port
land Light, for purse of 800, and the time
will soon be fixed with the particulars.
