CONCORD, N. H., May 6.-The Republican state
Convention met here to-day and selected q solid
Blaine delegation to Chicago, and adopted plat
form in which lie is recommended for President.
The Convention was unusually large and very en-
thusiastic. Nearly every town was represented by
its strongest men, and the result repro
sents freely the genuine sentiment OF
the party. General Stevens made an ex-
celent speech taking the chair, and
remarks were made by William f. Chandler, ex-
Senator Patterson and o C. Moore, which were
timely and vigorous The four Blaine delegates-at-
large were chosen by votes of more than two to
one over those on the opposition ticket. The State
Committee which was chosen is to serve for two
years.
The good feeling in the Convention reflects the
earnest hopeful spirit which pervades the party
throughout the State.
The Blaine men held caucus in the morning, and
agreed upon the following ticket for delegates-at-
large: William +. Chandler. of Concord David
II. Buffum, Of SOmersworth; Ruel Durkee of Croy-
don and Benjamin F. Prescott, of Eppng. The
anti-Baine men also held meeting, and arranged
the following ticket for delegatesat-large Phineas
Adams, of Manchester; A. NJ Shaw, of lebanon;
Charles Sawyer. of Dover, and Charles j. Amidon,
of Hinsdale. Both tickets were circulated among
the delegates as they entered the hall where the
Convention was held to-day.
H. H. Huse, chairman of the State Committee,
called the Convention to order and read the list of
officers selected by the State Committee last even
ing consisting of the Hon. Aaron F. Stevens, of
Nashua for president of the Convention, and one
vice-president from each county. The list was
adopted.

The democratic convention for the
third congressional district met at
Minneapolis, on the 7th inst, and nom.
mated Gen. Henry H. Sibley as their
candidate. There is no denying the
fact that this was the strongest nomi-
nation that the democrats could have
made, for it must be conceded that
Gen. Sibley is less vulnerable than al.
most any man of that party in the
state. His long and faithful public
service, his spotless character, purity
of motives and honorable dignity of
purpose. never allowing himself to
grovel in the mud of political intrigue
or corruption, have made him trust
ed favorite which the people, even in
the heat Of an excited presidential
campaign, will not entirely ignore.
While we do not believe that he, or
for that matter any democrat, can be
elected in this district at the coming
election, for the reason that the great
rank and file of the republican party
know full we'll that it is not safe to
place even one democrat in power,
and will not allow themselves to be
swayed from the great and saving
principles which redeemed the coun-
try from the chaos which democratic
supremacy had inveighled it; yet it is
