While the committee to nominate delegates
were out, Mr.. S. s. Foster was called upon and
gave his views at some length on the question
Of labor reform.
A motion, made by John Colbert, to instruct
the delegates not to vote in the convention for
the nominee of any other party for governor,
gave Use 10 an extended debate, in which the
merits of Gen. Butler as a representative of
labor reform principles were freely discussed,
but it was decided by an almost unanimous vote
not to instruct the delegates, although it was
quite apparent that the predominant sentiment
Of the meeting was strongly Batlerian.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE CONVENTION
The delegates to the republican state conven-
ton are beginning to arrive, a few having en-
tered their names at the Bay State house yester-
day, To-day they will come in large numbers,
and by evening Mr.. Thrall will have greater
demand for quarters than he can supply, unless
hospitable citizens aid him by offering him their
rooms for the time being. The parIors and
large rooms of the Bay State house are allotted
to the different factions, the friends of Messrs
Butler, Washburn, Loring and Rice, each hav-
inc secured comfortable rooms for headquarters,
all of which will be thronged by busy politicians
tonight The state central committee also have
headquarters here, and will have a meeting this
afternoon.
The Butler men having secured Mechanics
and Washbum halls for the purpose, will orally
considerably tonight. 1t is said that there will
be a torchlght parade of Gen. Buffers adher-
ents, who intend to meet him at the depot and
escort him TO the hall, with brass bands and a
cahope. The anti-Butlcr men will not give up
their gathering for want of a hall, and will
doubtless hold a great meeting in front of the
Bay State house, from the yerandah of which
will be heard the voices of some distinguished
republicans The ticket arrangement for to-
morrow will ehectually keep out of the conven-
ton all who are not delegates, and it is rumored
that the galleries will not be OPEN as heretofore,
to,the public for fear that Buffers clacquers will
fill them and disturb the convention.
