The convention reassembled at 10 A. M.
Senator Joseph X. Hawley was elected
chairman.
In his opening address he said. ''I am
not here to say who will be or should be
our nominee: know well how large
place in the hearts of many OF you James
g.. Blaine has always occupied.
And know well that all Republicans
were saddened by the announcements that
he positively withdraws from the. candi-
dacy which so many earnest friends were
crowding upon him. His brilliant and
versatile mind, his chivalrous manner and
his ardent Americanism compel friend.
ship. Since he has the genius to be loved
let him also receive all honor"
BENJAMIN Harrison has proved him.
self one of the ablest statesmen of the line
of presidents. He conducted the Treasury
became Secretary OF State when Mr..
Blaine was i'll. He is q well-qualified sub
stitute for any member of his cabinet.
Beginning with that cabinet his appoint
ments Of judges and foreign ministers,
commissioners and officers OF all the
higher classes have met the hearty and
enthusiastic popular approval. There
have been no scandals in his administra-
tion.
ain the campaign preceding his election
he made four or five thousand speeches,
usually brief, but always carrying
thought ana never summing au ISSUE.
With all this he has the unprecedented
good fortune, amounting TO genius, to
have never uttered phrase picked up by
the enemy for catch words or criticism" +"
Touching on State matters, Mr.. Hawley
said: Here at home, within the limits of
our own beloved State, we are not in a
comfortable or flattering situation,
thanks to that tendency in the Democrat
ic party which is becoming chronic from
New Orleans TO Albany; thanks TO a Dem
ocratic State Senate, we have u disorgan-
lied and disabled Legislature; but thanks
to the energy OF men Of our good old
stock seconding the faithful aud able
governor, no institutions Of the State
have seriously suffered.
"The representatives have been ready
TO submit the matters in controversy TO
any fit tribunal; but Our Republican leg
islators would have been grievously fal se
to their trust II they had for moment
thought OF abandoning the right and
duty Of our General Assembly To correct
frauds or errors I'm the returns sent up
from the towns. Upon this, as upon all
other questions, let us go TO the people
without fear"

The stone bridge is completed.
Yesterday afternoon at half-paSt three

the last brick in the street pavement on

The temporary wooden bridge has been

be used, and all traffic crossing the

pass over the handsomest stone bridge
