The Days Doings
Il was some minutes after II o'clock
when Chairman Eben ). Draper of the
state committee called the convention to
order and Secretary Ratshesky read the
call. A fervent prayer was off red by
Rev. K. A. Horton.
Mr.. Draper in a brief address stated the
object of the convention and In closing
said: THE greatest danger we have TO
face In state and nation is over confidence
In our own party, and we must not allow
this feeling to relax In the slightest de-
gree all honorable efforts for success"
The usual committees were then APP
pointed aud for that on permanent
organization Henry II. Turner Of NAL
den reported the name Of Hon.
Charles Ii. Allen OF Lowell for
president. together with long list of vice
presidents and secretaries. When the
name Of Henry Cabot Lodge as one of the
vice presidents was read, he got n liberal
round f applause. as did also Speaker
Barrett and some Of the others.
Mayor Il. b. Hayes read the platform,
which was listened to with great atten-
tion. The declaration against indis-
criminate immigration was loudly ap-
plauded, and SO was the call for Repu z
lican caucus of the legislature TO nomi-
nate a candidate for United States sena-
tor. Following is
The Platform.
In the coming elec tion great political Issues
and politics are 20 be decided, and 10 that deci-
sion we urge every legal voter in Massachu-
setts To lend the weight Of his vote and in
fuence Most important offices are To be
filled. We nre 10 choose the ruler OF a great
nation, tho President of the United States We
are 10 choose vice president, who, perhaps,
may be callSd 10 the presidency. In this high
Office, carrying this momentous possibility,
our most vital interests may be concerned,
and for the second place in the gift Of Ameri-
can voters, "a well as for the first Massa-
chusetts demands a man whose loyalty To the
Union has never been questioned and whose
record and Views upon the national currency
are above suspicion or reproach. Such man
T. tho Republican candidate. We are 10
choose thirteen congressman 20 represent our
views and interests IN Washington. In order
| that the great labor, manufacturing and agri-
| cultural intCre5ts OF Massachusetts, may not
b. misrepresented on great economic ques-
| tons we urge the election Of Republican con-
| gressmcn.
We arc 10 choose state legislature which
| shall elect United States sonator, as we'll as
| care for our state affairs. We believe that the
Republicans in that body should nominate in
caucus and elect United States senator With
| out seeking the advice of. or combinations
with any other political party or parties. We
| indorso the national platform adopted at
! Minneapolis. We indorse the candidates nom
| mated there We congratulate our citizens
| that under the wise and patriotic administra-
| ton Of BENJAMIN Harrison we bave reached n
national prosperity never equalcd In the his
| tory u the United States. We believe that "A
! continuance OF that administration would in
sure a continuance of that prosperity. We be-
/ licve that that part Of the national govern
mcnt the house Of representatives Of the
| Fifty second congress- which has been over
/ vhelmingly Democratic. has been unfaithful
| 10 specific promises made N the people. and
| that IL hae also been the most expensive and
| inpOtent house since the formation Of the
government
| Initiation OF the Currency Opposed.
We oppo@e the initiation of the currency,
either by the use of inoonvcrtible paper money
| or the free coinage of silver. We take the vote
| ~ three to one by the Democrats In tho last
| congress in favor of free coinage 90 H. an In

| that policy ~ D. menace to stability md
| honesty in national finance. We demand ~
| national currency and a national bankruptcy
