mendations the president wilt make in his
message to congress. The message in inter-
est begins TO take precedence over the pend
ing elections in the states and territories.
What the president will do about silver, ma
tional bank circulations, loans to national
banks, shipping, the internal revenue and
other questions of vital Importance are mat

tion of the republican party TO power, com

and pledges the support of the Massachusetts
republicans to root out the evil of
patronage; looks to congress to defend

tion of the surplus revenue, and requests the
representatives and senators from Massa-

JACKSON, Miss, Sept 25.-The republican
state convention for the first time In several
years met today in the hall of the house Of
representatives at noon. B, Il. Bruce was
made temporary chairman. He made a
brief, conservative address, advising that II
nominations were made that they choose
such men as would command the confidence
of the republicans, and at least the respect
of the democrats. General Chalmers de-
nounced the democratic party and advocated
the nomination of state ticket. Sixty
counties were represented by 254 delegates,
sixty white, the remainder colored.
James Hill, who is contesting Catching's =
seat In congress, opposed nominations, say
ing the democrats were firmly intrenched in
power in the state and IL would be folly to
attempt TO dislodge them.
John II. Lynch strongly favored nomina-
tions and believed the ticket had o chance of
success. The convention decided by vote
of l59 TO o5 TO put ticket in the field. Res
olutions We're passed endorsing the admnis.
trauon of President Harrison and the plat
form OF the republican party. The admin
istration of the state government was CON
demned as extravagant, the management of
the state penitentiary severely assailed, and
its longer continuance declared disgrace TO
Christian civilization.
The nominations were; James Il, Chal-
mers, for governor; James ID. Lynch, lieut.
enant governor; NJ. G. Mollison (colored),
secretary of state; John S. Jones, treas
urer.
