Panic to Alarm over Tariff Reductions
They Nominate Frederick Creenhaige
and Roger waIcott.
BosToN, Oct. THE State Republican
Convention to nominate a candidate for
governor and an entire state ticket, was

minor offices. Frederick 4. Greenhalge
was nominated for governor by acclama.
tion. No other name was presented
The hall was appropriately decorated
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
Hon. William A. Bancroft was selected
permanent chairman. Mr.. Bancroft de-
livered an eloquent address ridlculing the
Democracy prospects of good times, and
declaring that the Democrats were afraid
to make any serious action on the tariff
and declared the Republican party was
the only party in favor OF honest money.
Before nominations were made the
platform was read. IL favors repeal
of the Sherman Silver law, which II
is declared is bringing the country tc
silver standard. The recent wide
spread distress and panic are, however
attributed to the general alarm caused
by fear Of tariff reductions.
Protection to every industry is favored
and every Republican declared to b,
hostile to his party who fayors any
change in the tariff The party rejoice,
that the. Democracy nominee for COVER
nor is an exponent Of the idea that tn,
tariff Is fraud and robbery, thus
bringing the issues sduarely to the
front without evasion.

Federal. election laws and reduce pension
are condemned Mob law at the South 4
denounced Nominations were declare,
in order The nomination OF Mr.
Greenhal &c was ebeered again and agaii
and former supporters of Mr.. Pillsbury
