 BOSTON, April 2O.-The republican stat convention was held in the Fremont tenn pie to-day. E. s. Draper was made tenn porary chairman of the convention, and A c. Rstshesky of Boston and George J. Burns of Aver temporary secretaries Prayer was offered by Rev. George A. Cor don of Boston, and at it's conclusion MT Draper made brief address which wal heartily applauded.
 MT. Draper compared the work of th, present democratic congress unfavorably with that of the preceding republican body stating that the existing congress has not been able to pass a measure for the public veal; that it has prevented an appropria- tion for soap at West Point, and is now doing it's best to prevent the building of an American navy. The speaker thought the republicans could not start their presi- dential campaign under more favorable auspices.
 Immediately following the delivery of the chairman's remarks the regular com mittees were appointed and the convention voted that all resolutions should be refer red to the comittee on resolutions without debate. The committee on permanent organization then made their report. and William c. lowering of Taunton, the per manent chairman, was conducted to the chair by committee appointed for that purpose. MT. Lowering was greeted with applause. He delivered a very able ad- dress.
 Following Mr. Lovering's address, the bristling points of which were literally applauded, the report of the committee on credentials reported 1 ,139 delegates present representing twentyeight cities and 277 towns.
 Chairman Mccall of the committee on resolutions then read the following plat form, which was unanimously adopted:
 THE PLATFORM.
 The republicans of Massachusetts, in harmony with the republicans of the United States, stand opposed to the free coinage of silver, and we, their delegates, denounee the measure supported in the present congress by the vast majority of the republicans of that party which op- posed the resumption of specie payments, gave itself up in the time of the country's greatest financial danger to every dishonest scheme which promised it's restoration to power, and still maintains it's attitude as the consistent foe of an honest dollar. The passage of the bill now pending in con gress, which was temporarily defeated by the practically united action of the repub- lican members, would derange values, re- duce the pay of labor, impair the obliga- tion of contracts, and put our currsncy on the silver basis of the Asiatic nations.
 We commend the system of commercial treaties which seeks the rational expansion of our foreign trade by arrangements hay irg regard to the peculiar laws and prod ucts of each nation, rather than by gen. eral law opening our markets to foreign producers without in many cases receiving any benefit in return.
 The right of every voter to cast his vote and have it honestly counted is funda- mental principle of our government, and the enjoyment of that right is essential to the perpetuity of the republic.
 We congratulate the country that it's highest court has vindicated the restora- tion of power to the majority in congress by the rulings of republican speaker
 We favor the enactment of 8 national bankruptcy law, of laws for the rebuild ing of our merchant marine, and the strengthening of our navy, and while well coming the industrial emigrant we de- mand that tue criminal and those likely to become public charge should be excluded from our shores.
 The nation should care for the needy and deserving veterans of the late war for the U nion.
 We heartily indorse the patriotic admin istration of President Harrison. We ad- mire his firm and courageous stand for a sound currency, the faithful enforcement of the civil service law and it's application to new offices, the general efficiency and freedom from scandal prevailing in every department and the bril- liant diplomacy which, while v1gilantly powerful nations, has sought to draw still more closely to us our weaker neighbors by the bonds of reciprocal trade. His administration has earned, and we believe will receive, the appreciation of the coun- try.
 On motion of Frederic Wilcomb of 1ps- wich tine following were adopted with en- thueiasm:
 Resolved, That we heartily approve the fearless and dignified policy of the admin istration of President Benjamin Harrison, ho ho, okol sv,o o11< <~e sagacious and loyal endeavors by that mo- ble patriot and statesman, James G. Blaine, [great applause] in the carrying out and adoption of all true American principles.
 Resolved, That the republicans of Mas sachusetts are in full sympathy with every national movement fairly within the scope of the general government for the investi- gation and suppression of the evil of the liquor traffic.
