The Republicans of the old Hay State
 Meet fin Convention and RenOminate the old Ticket.
 BOSTON, Sept. 3.-It was shortly after il o'clock when Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the State committee, in company with
 Senator Hoar, appeared upon the stage of Ire mont Temple, which was crowded with dele gates and spectators, and called the Repubi- can State convention to order. The commit
 tee on permanent organization reported Hon. R. M. Morse, jr., of Boston, for permanent chairman and he was elected. In his address MT. Morse gave review of specie resump- tion, civil service reform and the tariff is
 sues, claiming that Republican ascendancy is
 necessary for the perpetuity and safety of
 the interests involved in them. He also re-
 viewed at length the charges against Mr.
 Blaine, asserting that they were not proven,
 but were constantly reiterated in sneers, hy-
 pocrisy and misrepresentation. MT. Morse
 treated the bolters very tenderly, expressing
 the belief that they couldn't long abide in
 the camp they were going with, that with
 many of them it would be summer excur-
 sion merely, and that the cool, bracing air of

 friends. In summarizing the issues, MT.
 Morse said we cannot doubt that the true in-
 terests of the country will be best promoted
 by the continuance of the Republican party in power. The time may come when some other political organization shall be actuated by higher motives and shall have sounder views of public policy, and shall advocate and anforca hattar methods of adminiStra- tion. But the time has not yet come. For the present at least, we can see no better way to obtain good government than ill re- newed allegiance to the Republican party, and in continued efforts to promote its success. The committee on credentials reported 1 ,152 delegates present Henry Cabot Lodge, in brief speech, moved the renomination of Governor Robinson by exclamation. His re marks were greeted with frequent applause and his motion was carried amid great cheer ing. General Banks moved the appointment of a committee to escort Governor Robinson to the hall which was done.
 The platform was then read. It announces jealous and loyal support of the national ticket and then gives a scathing review of the Democratic party, asserting that no party, once disloyal and since held together by dis cipline for the qualification of ambition and the hope of spells, now led by 8 recognized chief and now by some relentless deserter from the opposition, can ever make conspic uous proselytes, becoming a party of prog ress and reform. Then follows Q review of the achievements of the Republican party, asserting that it has kept abreast with the demands of progress and the needs of the country and stands fully equipped for the questions of the day. It favors a discrimi- hating tariff framed to protect the taxpayer, American industry and the laborer, reforms and corrections to be made to reduce the sur plus It pledges the furtherance of the in terests of the laborer by every legitimate means It favors an honest furtherance of civil service reform and it insists that it is the province and duty of government to in sure free ballot and an honest count. It favors liberal legislation to re-establ1sh and assure the prosperity of the merchant marine and to restore the navy, advises 6 cessation of silver dollar coinage and heartily indorses the administration of President Arthur and Governor Robinson, also the na- tional platform, and commends the national candidates as statesmen of eN- perience, ability, patriotism and honor.
 At the close of the reading the platform was adopted entire. Governor Robinson now appeared and made brief speech of accept ance. The balance of the present State tick ct was then renominated by accla- nation, after which there were loud calls for Senator Hoar, who stepped forward and nominated as presidential elect ors-at-1arge Rev. Dr. Mark Hopkins, of Will Hams college, and ex-Governor Thomas Tal- bot, saying that they were representatives of the riffraff of the party of which so much had been heard. They were chosen by accla- nation and Senator Hoar followed with an address. A motion to adjourn was then made, but it was shouted down by cries of ''Banks!'' 'Banks!" General Banks came forward and spoke briefly and on closing the motion to adjourn was renewed and at 1:30 p. m. the conven- tion adjourned sine die.
 Following is the State ticket renominated: Governor, George D. Robinson, of Chicopee; lieutenant governor, Oliver Ames, of Easton; secretary of state, Henry B. Pearce, of Alp ington; treasurer and receiver general, Dan iel A. Gleason, of Medford attorney gener- al, Edgar J. Sherman, of Lawrence; auditor, Charles R. Ladd, of Springfield.
