ventiOn Rice Nominated for
Governor-The Platform.
WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 90.
On the first formal ballot Adams had
253 votes, Loring 1872, and Rice Ash.
Rice was nominated on the third bal
lot. The following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
1.-The Republicans of Massachusetts,,
in convention assembled, reatfirm their
allegiance to the great purposes and
principles of the Republican party
and congratulate themselves that moth
ing in their records makes it necessary
for them to give a pledge that they ac-
cept and will abide by the settlement
of the wal issues made in the 18th, l4th
and 18th amendments to the Constitu-
ton of the United States. They con-
graduate the country that the Demo-
cratic party has al last formally pro-
fessed to abandon its long, bitter, des-
perate but unavailing struggle, first to
prevent and afterward to overthrow
the settlement. This profession is
both a mOst humiliating confession of
past folly ever extorted from a politi-
cal party and is q signal tribute to the
invinciDle righteousness of Republi-

that the Republican party seeks to
keep alive old issues in order to avoid
new ones, is unwarranled. Our past,
at least, is scrutable to review the record
without remorse, and we c~heertully
commit it to history, and with courage
inspired by success in a noble u
we address ourselves to the new duties
of the era Of the nation. 1t is, there

party of Massachusetts will support

guarantee of fidelity to every public

date for office who fails in this test,
whatever may be his party name or

Service is a work which no party can
give over or slacken, and for the
elevation and publication of that ser
vice the Republican party will contiu-
ally and faithfully strive, welcoming
the corporation of their opponents in
whatever quarter it may appear to end;
that every corrupt and unworthy

party, may be driven from place, and
that official malfeasance may be hunt
