The nomination of observation-disclosures Halle
to the office OF Governor was a foregone conclu-
sion. An effort was made two three months
ago to arouse antagonism against Mr. Halle, and
two or three men were mentioned as likely to
contest for the honor. But weeks before the
convention this futile opposition died of its own
weakness, and Mr.. Halle was nominated
by acclamation Mr. Halle has twice been
elected Lcutenant-Governor, and his popularity is
shown by the large majority which he received
over the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, while the Democratic candidate for
Governor was elected over the Republican candi-
date. Mr.. Halle is an able business man. lie
is resident Of Springfield, and is universally es-
teemed for his recttude. his ability and his genial.
courteous manner.
There was an earnest contest for the second
place on the ticket. G.. Roger Wolcott was early
known as candidate, and so was ex-senator
+. w. Breed, of Lynn. 1t seemed until re-
Gently that these two would be the only can
didates for the office, but Captain j. e. B.
Adams, also of Lynn, the Sergeant-atarms Of
the State House, was announced few days ago
as candidate. and the Grand Army men rallied
to his support. Mr. Adams has remarkably good
war record, and his popularity especially among
the ex-soldiers, has always been noticeable. On
the eve of the convention Samuel G. Darling, of
Boston, was announced as another candidate. max

Adams, 4Il Mr.. Darling, 80. Mr. Darling and
Mr. Breed then retired from the field. and the
formal ballot resulted as follows: WolcOtt. 400 I;
Adams, 473.
IL was thought by many that when Breed re-
tired he would throw his strength for Adams,

feeling in certain quarters antagonistic to Mr..
Wocott But he could not or would not do 80.
