BOSTON, Oct. 1.-THE Republican
state convention met at Music hall at
1890 this morning. After the call to
order by Chairman Winslow, of the
state committee, and the reading
of the call by Secretary Ratches-
ky, Rev. Calvin Stebbins, of
Worcester, offered prayer. William
A. Bancroft, of Cambridge, was
chosen president. In his address Mr..
Bancroft urged closer association be-
tween the leaders and the people. The
Republican party abhors the doc
trine of free trade, and abominates
a sham, whether in the pen
sion bureau, the civil service or
the fiscal affairs of the government. The
Republican party is not the party of
paternalism, but it always interferes
when the good of the public demands
its interference. 1t interfered with
slavery, with unsound currency, and
will interfere with intemperance.
Interference has become something
better. The Democratic party has been
in power ror seven months. 1t has not
repealed the purchasing clause of the
silver law, and 1t has begun TO repeal
the
FEDERAL ELECTIONS LAW.
The Republican party, Chairman
Bancroft said, must be right on ques-
tons of principle, even if it be wrong
on questions of eXpediency. The Re-
publican party in Massachusetts recog
niZes the Importance of protecting the
industries in which labor finds its sup
port.
Ex-Governor Robinson, chairman of
the committee on resolutions, read the
report of that committee. The platform
favors the unconditional repeal of the
purchasing clause of the silver act and
recommends that the gold reserve be
strengthened. 1t commendS the course
of the Republicans in congress on their
attitude upon money questions; holds
the Democrats in the large measure re-
sponsible for the alarm and disturbance
in business and industrial matters. The
platform declares equally for protection
and condemns free trade under any guise
or name. but holds no ratios or Sched-
ules beyond criticism or amendment
1t pledges support for honesty and pur-
ity in national elections. 1t condemns
murders and violence throughout the
South, and the denial of the right to
trial in court and the substitution of
lynch law. The platform favors ma
STATE BANK CURRENCY.
1t criticises the acts of the national
administration in depriving pensioners
of their rights without hearing. 1t
condemns the violation of the civil
service law and the barter of high
offices for compaign contributions.
The platform asks for the restric-
ton of indiscriminate immigration.
In strife matters, it pledged support to
the public schools, public libraries and
through the state. 1t supports
temperance and opposes directly
the saloons and the groggery
and their influence. A tax upon
legacies and SUGGESTIONS, both direct
and collateral Is recommended and more
stringent regulations as to corporations
are urged. The platform favors a
proper system of initiative and referen-
DUN in reference to local self-goyern-
ment.
The platform was adopted. The COM
mittee on credentials reported 2,039
delegates present. Attorney General
