TnE CONVENTION.
The Republican State Convention was
uuusally large, there was slittle or no ex'
element in the morning.
As the delegates entered the Hall
Blaine and anti-Blaine tickets for dele
gates to Chicago were quietly distributed.
H. Il. House Chairman OF the State Com.
mittee called the Convention TO order, and
General Stevens was made Chairman. The
usual committees being appointed, the
Chairman then addressed the Convention.
DID NOT FAVOR A THIRD TERN.
The motion to go into an election for
delegates to the National Convention
brought out William E. Chandler, who
favored Blaine, and ex-senator Patterson,
who said he was for that man who will
unite the party to secure victory, whether
Blaine Sherman, Edmunds or washburne.
He did not include Grant, as he did not
favor third term. The ballot for dele
gates resulted in the choice OF David II.
Buffom, Benjamin +. Prescott, William E.
Chandler and Ruel Durkee. Alternates:
Benjamin A. Kimble, John II. Broughton,
James A. Wood and Aug. A. Woolson.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions made the
following report:
WHEREAS, The Republicans Of New
Hampshire, in State Convention assem-
bled, desire once more to attest their de.
votion to the cardinal principles OF the
party and place them upon record, that
the whole world may see every foundation
Of their belief and action; therefore
ResoEred, That we are in favor Of cur.
rency based upon gold; Of one free and
equal ballot for every legal voter North and
South, free from intimidation; for the
control OF every sort of legal rights for
every citizen everywhere and the securing
OF these rights, il absolutely necessary,
by the strong arm OF the general Govern
ment; such conduct OF the civil service as
shall result in securing to the country q
honest and efficient admins
tration of every department OF the
Government; that We arraign the
Democratic party for its recreancy to the
principles Of free government, amply at.
tested by its advance to the doctrine OF
state Supremacy; its connivance at nulli.
fcation OF the laws for the protection Of
the rights OF the freedman in such; its
attempt to control by fraud and force
the fairly and legally elected legislature of
Maine; its subserviency to Southern dig.
archy and now endeavoring TO secure by
legislative methods that which they failed
to achieve by resort TO arms in 81; that
We heartily approve Of the present atti-
tude OF the administration upon all the
great principles OF the Republican
party and most especially and EN-.
phatically OF its conduct OF the National
finances by that great inancier John
Sherman, of Ohio; that we congratulate
Ulysses s. Grant, the most renowned and
illustrious citizen OF the republic, on his
safe return from the tour OF the world, and
we ieverently wish that the.atternoon OF
his remarkable life may be made serene by
exemption from strife aud happy in re-
spect and the affection Of the grateful
country whose unity he did so much TO
preserve, and whose great destiny he did
more than anyo OF his eompatriots to ad-
vance. While We are in favor OF sending
an uninstructed delegation to Chicago, it
is our earnest belief that the man
for the times above all others
embodying every element OF tri-
umphant candidate and successful
administration is James G. Blaine, Of
Maine. That any unit rule which seeks
to compel delegate to vote for q candi-
date not his choice nor that OF his constit.
uents is tyrannous and unrepublican, and
We request our delegates to Chicago so to
vote on all questions as to leave every del.
egate free to follow his uniettered and
honest judgment. That our delegates to
the Chicago Convention are requested to
call the attention OF that body to the
propriety OF a change in the existing
basis OF delegate representatives in future
National Republican Conventions, to the
end that hereafter the number OF dele
gates from different States may be deter
mined by the action OF the Republican
vote cast therein at the last preceding
State or National election. That the Re-
publicans OF New Hampshire pledge them
selves to give the nominee at Chicago their
hearty support and rousing majority at
the polls next November.
The resolutions were adopted.
