A Times New Orleans special
says the State Convention of the
National party was ridiculous
farce. Gen. Beauregard declined
the nomination for State Treasurer
but was voted for and received u
majority, Notwithstanding. Sub
sequently majority declared DR..

date. He tried to speak and was
hooted out, when Frank H. Hatch,

The 7ribune's Boston special
gives a ringing address to be issued
to-day by the Republican State
mittee to the people of Mas
sachusetls, setting forth la strong
terms the features of the campaign
which make it peculiar and note
worthy. The following are the
principal clauses: There is no issue
between good men of all parties.
AS to the necessity of economy in
State expenditures or the iimita-
ton and gradual reduction of the
public debt, unqnestionabiy the
great apparent prosperity Of the
past years led the Commonwealth,
as it did individuals. into too lavish
expenditures in enterprises of busi-
ness, of education and of charity.
Large reductions in the public ex
penuitures have already been made
with the approval of men of all
parties and still further reductions
will be made under the same aus
pices. 1t has not been reserved for
any bold, INSCRIPTIONS demagogue
to make the discovery that
the times had changed, and
that an era of retrenchment
has begun. Nor will the validity
of his patent for that discovery be
recognized by thoughtful and hon
est men. Our present duty is to
state the true issue pending before
the people of Massachusetts, by re
moving the veil of pretence by
which ar INSCRIPTIONS aud selfish
ambition has sought to obscure it,
Shall Massachusetts, be true to the
faith of the fathers, that honest
debts shall have honest payment?
That an honest currency is based
on value, not on fiat, and at any
cost or sacrifice the national honor
shall be maintained untarnished?
Or shall she, bound hand and foot,
be delivered over to the champions
Of dishonor and disgrace? Shall
she suffer the chief head and front
of this offending to occupy the
chair of Hancock and Andrew,
making of its dishonor II stepping
stone to the leadership OF ma
tional party, founded on the ruins
of a national credit and the public
| faith, u debased currency and re-
pudiated debt? This plot we
shall expose; this paramount issue
we shall discuss before the people
of this Commonwealth. We will
not suffer it to be disguised or
shuffied out of sight. To a calm
and honest consideration of this
issue we invoke the conscience and
intelligence of Massachusetts;
we call upon the workingman and
the capitalist alike, whose materI-
al interests are at stake, the one
equally with the other, to aid to
maintain the standard of value in
our currency on par with that of
all the world. We invoke all
Christian citizens to proclaim that
the salvation of communities as of
individuals rests in q conscientious
and unwavering adherence to ever
lasting principles of honor and
truth and the conscience and intel
ligence Of Massachusetts, will not
fail US.
