Full State Ticket.

RALEIGH, N. c., April Is, 1872.
After the adjournment OF the Convention last
evening an immense and enthusiastic mass meet
ng OF the assembled republicans was held ut the
Metropolitan Hall. 1t was alleged to be one OF the
most cheering demonstrations in favor OF General
Grants administration ever held in the South.
Speakers from every section Of the State-most OF
them men OF mark and decided ability and infu-
ence-addressed the meeting The movement Of
the Cincinnati liberal republicans was denounced in
unmeasured terms, and the efforts OF Hardie
Hogan and Helper, with q few unsuccessful aspi-
rants for ONCE In this State, to secure represen-
tatiou for Cincinnati excited the utmost ridicule
and 0ccasi0ned great deal Of laughter. Every
republican In the old north State feels that he owes
debt OF gratitude to Grant for the determined
measures he inaugurated to suppress the Ku Klux
Khan, and with exceptions all the orators last
night pledged the State TO open the fall campaign
m August by giving an overwhelming vote In favor
Of the administration.
FURrHRR RADGERNG FOR ABBOTT.
The proceedings in the Convention to-day opened
with the renewal Of sert on the part of Mr.. R. q.
Badger OF this city, to force the body to adopt the
resolutions declaring Abbott the legally elected
Senator from this State, and requesting
the Senate to seat him II they found
his claims to be just. The movement developed
stronger opposition than even yesterday
but the friends OF Abbott were at last successful in
having the resolution referred to committee for
report. This committee, after an absence of a
couple OF hours, submitted report recommending
the passage Of the resolution. An excited debate,
lowed the Introduction 81 this resolution, and it
was passed. chiefly on the ground that refusal to
kansomi's claim and an acknowledgements that Alb

hailed with the i9qdest a &c ..,a It[ s

their claims for position among the State officials
that the greatest dissatisfaction would have
been produced, and the white republicans of
democratic ranks. "But ans wen that
ends well, and an unexceptionabe Ticket, which
has been nominated. The entire day was spent in
the nomination OF the State officers, many OF them
having to be balloted for half dozen times. Su-

United States Marshal Carlow were present WIRE
