LATE TELEeRAMs.

NOulE1LEht o<Its
can State Convention met ut ll:Jo
o'clock, and was called TO order by W.
W. Clapp, oflthe Boston Journal, Chair
man, The usual Committees were mp
pointed, and Hon. Henry Wilson was
President.
On taking tho Chair. Mr.. Wilson
made q political reform and hard-money
speech. Following is his reference to
finances: In the stress OF war. when
creditors and armies were unpaid. the
Government issued It's promises to pay,
and made them legal tendors. when
the enactment was made. the Govern
ment in good faith intended that these
notes should DO redeemed in gold. or IN
interest.bsaring bonds. But ten years
have passed. and these promises to pay
still remain unfulflled. Greenbacks
have indeed largely appreciated, and wo
are justly proud OF the credit OF Il
nation In tho markets of tho world; Dul
NO do not-and we cannot. rs Amer.
cans-take pride in the singular faci
that a stray note from an unknown
bank in one q the British provinces can
b. sold Ia State street for q premium Of
more than twelve per cent. over OF
our legal tenders, with oil the wealth OF
forty millions Of people behind It,. Tho
plichted faith Of the nation. the honor
Of the Government, tho enduring In.
tsrests Of the pcople-of rich and poor,
Of capital and labor-all demand that
the Government, by wise AMI prudent
legislation and administration. should
nj tho earliest practicable peri III make
It's notes equal and convertible into
gold.
The nominations are as follows: For
Governor, Alexander II. Rice; Lieuten-
ant Governor, Homiio q. Knight; Trcas-
surer, Charles Endicott; Auditor. j. Il.
CLARK; Attorney General. Charles II.
Train; Secretary Of State. IL. u. Pierce.
The following platform WIS unani-
mously adopted: Il.
Resolved, That the Republicans OF
Massachusetts,. in Convention assem-.
blsd, reafirm their allegiance to tho
great purposes aud principles OF tho Re-
publican party. AMI congratulate them-
selves that nothing in their record makes
Il necessary for thsm TO give pledges
that they accept and will abide by the
settlement OF war issues made In the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution Of the
United States. and they congratulate the
country that the Democratic party has
at last formally professed to abandon its
long, bitter. desperate but %unavailinG
struggle first to prevent and afterward to
overthrow the settlement. This pro-
| profession Is both the most huniliating
confession Of past folly ever extorted
from q party. and q signal tribute to the
invincible righteousness Of Republican
principles. Tho accusation that the
Republican party seeks to keep alive old
issues to avoid new ones Is unwarranted.
Our past ct least Is secure. and. able &c
review tho record without remorso. W,
chesrfully commit II to history; ant
with the courage inspired by success In
q noble cause, We address ourselves Il
new duties OF tho err Of the nation. II
Is therefore declared that the Republican
party OF Massachusetts, will support ne
man for official position whose personal
character Is not an absolute guarantee O
fidelity to every public trust. and the.

can give over or slacken. and for the
elevation and publication Of that service
the Republican party will continual,
and faithfully strive, welcoming the co
operation Of their opponents, in what
eyer quarter II may appear. to tho en-,
that every corrupt and unworthy Office
holder, without distinction Of party
may be driven from place, and that Off,
