RAmsDHL1 FOR GOVERNOR.
of New Hampshire Republi-
 cans Rt Concord.

Convention of New Hainpshire Republi-
 cans at Concord.
 Concord, N. H., Sept. 3.-When the re- publican state convention was called to order by Chairman Jewett of the state committee in Phenix hall at 11:15 this forenoon, the attendance of delegates was one of the largest at any conven- tion ever held by the party in the state. the caucus last evening was adopted for the convention and President Hon. Henry B. Quinby of Lakeport address ed the convention. The committee on credentials reported 744 delegates enti- tied to seats.
 Judge Charles w. Hoitt of Nashua placed Hon. George A. Ramsdell of that city in nomination for governor by ac- clamatlon. A committee was appointed to inform MT. Ramsdell of his nonlina- tion and request his presence. The committee appointed for this purpose reported the following for presidential electors and they were declared chosen: Stephen N. Bourne of Manchester, John T. Busiel of Laconia, Frank F. May nard of Claremont and Thomas H. Van Dyke of Stewartstown.
 Hon. F. H. Streeter of Concord for the committee, reported the platform, which was adopted by an emphatic af- flrmative vote:
 The platform, in part, says:
 A just determination of the national issues now confronting us is of mo- mentous consequence. The St. Louis and Chicago platforms plainly point out the courses which each of the two great political parties intends to pursue. The candidates of both parties have clearly voiced their personal views. There is no ambiguity of equivocation in the platform nor doubt as to the intention of the candidates. The announcement of the revolutionary purposes of the Chicago convention has already shat tered confidence, paralyzed business and alarmed the people. Under such circumstances and in the present crisis grave responsibility rests upon every voter.
 We accept and endorse the platform of the national republican party be- cause, among other reasons, 1t stands for honest money of whichever dollar, at all times, shall be as good as gold; because it stands for reciprocity; be- cause it stands for a vigorous and dig- nified foreign policy and for the protec- tion of American citizens and Ameri- can property everywhere, at all haz- ards, and at any cost; because it stands fav, ksa,, ,r |, serans of the Union army and for a reform in the administration of pen- sions; because it stands for strict en- forcement of our immigration laws; and because it stands for all wise and legitimate efforts to lessen ands prevent the evils of intemperance and on this subject is consistent with settled legis- lative policy of the republican party in this state.
 We congratulate the people upon the nomination of the leaders of the repub- lican party. We emphasize our loyalty to that distinguished soldier and states
 man, William Mckinley. whose fair fame no islander has ever tarnished and whose Americanism has never been questioned; and we declare our con- fidence in the eminent fitness of Garret A. Hobart for vice president. The nomination of George A. RamsdelI, our candidate for governor, is a worthy tribute to his personal merit as a pub lis spirited, honorable citizen, and an expression of the belief of this conven- tion in his ability successfully to per- form the duties of that office. With such leaders, upon the foregoing decla- ration of principles in the vital contest with opponents whose revolutionary aims are herein plainly and fairly stat ed, we invite and expect to receive the cooperation of loyal and patriotic cit- izens without regard to previous party utilization.
 We unite with all patriotic citizens in denouncing the so-called democratic national platform for its position upon almost every question vitally affecting the interest of the people and the sta- bility of the republic; for its approval of government by mode rather than by law; for it's cowardly assault upon our courts; for it's proposition to pack the supreme bench of the United States; for its partisan purposes; for its sedi- tious attempts to promote sectional jealousies; for it's reasonable purpose to incite social war and provoke contests between classes; for it's sym pathy with anarchism; for its under taking to repudiate public and private debts; for; its avowed intention to up root and overturn our existing mone- tary system, under which, prior to the Chicago convention, every dollar, whether gold silver or paper, bearing the stamp of the United States govern ment, was worth $1 in gold in every market of the world, and in place thereof to substitute money based on silver monometalism, depreciated and unstable, and purchasing value of which will destroy our industries, en- | danger every business enterprise and lessen the value of wages of labor An Innocent Man Pardoned.
