PoLITIcAL.-The Republican Convention of
of Massachusetts has unanimously nominated
Washburue for Governor. When tho Conyen-
ton met Butler offered resolution expelling a
man named Green, who had declared that if
Butler was the nominee of the Convention he
would not vote for him. Being defeated on
this and seeing that he had no hopes of get
ting she nomination, he made speech with
drawing his name. About the platform the
Boston Advertise' says: The platform unani-
many things useful for example and instruc-
ton. The resolutions relating TO back pay
and the interference of Federal officers with
their retainers to defeat fair and free ex-
preston of opinion if not iron-clad are sufi-
GENTLY firm in texture to hold till another
year. So far as they relate to the national in
terests they do not overstate. We think that
they fall short of stating the full meaning
the results which have been achieved. Mas
sachusetts is not on the defensive; she asks no
favor of the Administration, and she will not
allow it's incompetent subordinates to crack
its whip over her head. She demands fair
treatment for herself, and not only for herself
but every State in the Union.
The Texas Democratic Convention has
nominated Judge Richard Coke of Waco, for
Governor; Hon. R: B. Hubbard, for Lieuten-
ant Governor; and s. II. Dardcn, of Lock
hart for Comptroller.
