WORCESTER, Oct. Ut was very tame Conven-
zion after all with nothing interesting or exciting
% relieve the monotony except two-lninute speech
from gentleman from Fall River, who vowed that
he would never vote for man who could slap the
party in the face Mr.. Talbot bad These were not
his words, but he recalled the fact that Mr. Talbot
had been elected Lieutant- Governor on platform
which relegated the question of prohibition to the
representatives of the people in the Legislature and
when the peoples representatives expressed their
opinion his first act to get himself up in opposi-
ton to them But for this little outbreak Of truth,
everything would have been quiet as a borough
election, where the one elector called meet
ING TO order, nominated himself, put
the question and declared himself unanimously
elected To the credit of the few anti Talbot men,
u must be said. however they did not yield without
blow, They would not consent to allow nomina-
tion by reclamation without vote They knew
that Talbot was sure of clear majority on the first
ballot but there were few of his supporters sanguine
enough to hope that three-quarters of the whole
Convention could make Talbot their choice. Mr..
Rice's motion to make the nomination unanimous
was very gracefully made and it was especially ap-
propriate that he who would be the standard bearer
of the wing of the party should take the action that
he did.
The nomination of the Lieutenant Governor was
made with remarkable unanimity, considering the
sharp canvass which has been going on during the
past MONTH The Western counties, which never
hose sight of the question of locality, were unit for
Mr. Knight while Mr.. Macy was warmly supported
BY the delegates outside of Bristol County. The
result showed that the friends OF Senator
Etickney had worked hard and that they were very
little lower than Mr. Macy the score. The re-
nomination Of the rest of the ticket was foregone
conclusion. No one knows how long Oliver Warner
has been Secretary of State and the last change In
the ticket was made three years ago. when the
Treasurer had served the full constitutional limit.
The resolutions were received with good deal OF
enthusiasm. Although at least third Of the Dele
eates had left the hail. there train leaving at
that time, but getting more and more
into the way of thinking that platforms
amount to nothing, and that it Is not
worth while to bother with them. Ihe
resolutions were however worth listening to- They
we're brief concise, and decided in tone. The first,
demanding a return to specie payments AT
tho earliest possible moment, and oppos-
ing any further increase of paper cur
reney, met with the warmest expressions OF
approval, while the second, denouncing the doings
Of the White League of the South, was hardly less
enthusiastically applauded. The resolution COM
Dending the nominees of the Convention to the
voters of the Commonwealth was received with
much more enthusiasm than was to be expected.
Mr.. Dawess speech though good fell rather fiat,
On account of the codness of the Convention. They
sppauded now and then, but he never warmed
them to enthusiasm 1t is noticeable that neither IN
Mr.. Dawess remarks in the Convention. nor IN the
resolutions presented, was there any reference
either by hint or implication, to the prOhibitory
law or to the question of license or prohibition.
