Nevada, and, being generons, he gave room
in his wagon to Two men whom he over
took. The three men campad together that
night. 0nthe following morning one OF the
strangers went to settlement, quarrelled
with some miners, and killed one OF them.
! A mob chased him back to camp, where
Rice Joined in bis defence. The mob then
hanged them ali, in spite OF Rice's protest
that be knew nothing OF his cornpa nions.

erROr.

WORCESTER, Sept IS The Republican State
convention met at II. 30 this morning, and was
called TO order by Hon. Adm Thayer, chairman
of the State Central committee, who made
short, encouraging speech which was az
plauded.
The usual committees we're appointed.
Hon. William Claflin was made permanent
president and Rev. A. B. KendiDg offered
PRAYER.
ceived, and that part relative to sound money
was applauded.
The committee on credentials reported 329
cities and towns represented by 1884 delegates.
Mr. Faxon of Quincy, offered the following,
which on his motion was referred to the COM
mittee on resolutions.
Resolved, That we, the representatives of the Re-
publican party OF Massachusetts in convention
assembled, demand that corrupt, incompetent and
unnecessary officers and employees entrenched in the
Boston custom house and other public ofhces OF the
State shall be at once discharged and such places as
the public good requires be filed with honest, God.
fearing, capable and law-abiding citizens.
Mr. Wilcomb of Ipswich, made motion,
which was adopted, that the vote for Governor
be taken by counties By delegates passing
across the platform, and committee of one
from each Congressional district was appointed
to count the votes. An informal ballot for
Governor was taken at the conclusion of which
the convention took recess OF half an hour for
dinner.
Hon. Thomas Talbot, of BilleIica. was nOmi-
mated Governor: John d, Long, Lieutenant
Governor; II. B. Pierce, Secretary Of State;
Charles Endicott, Treasurer George MarstoD,
Attorney General; Hon. Julius L. Clark,
Auditor.
Hon. N. @. Banks and Hon. Henry L. Dawes
made able speeches referring to the record of
the Republican party, and denouncing Butler
ia unmeasured terms.
The resolutions were of the strongest kind of
hard money resolves. The seventh is as fol-
lows:
That the success of the bold attempt to place
an open repudiator in the executive chair Of
| this renow ned Commonwealth would be an an.
nouncement to the world for the first time in
her history Massachusetts waivers in her devo-
ton to honest finance, and is indifferent to the
soundness of public faith.
