State Convention in Concord Yesterday
Eloquent Address BY Senator Chandler
Delegates Chosen to National Conven-
ton Platform Adopted Not Exactly a
Model.
Concord, N. H., March 31.-The Re
publican State convention was called to
order by Chairman Jewett of the state
committee III Phenix hall at eleven this
forenoon.
Eyery seat in the body of the hall was
occupied by delegates and the gallery was
cIowded with spectators, the attendan ce
being one of the largest ID the history of
the party in New Hampshire.
The officers selected at the conference
| OF delegates last evening were chosen as
the perman ent organization of the con.
vention.
United States Senator William E.
Chandler, on being introduced as presi.
dent of the convention, was enthusias-
tically received. He spoke as follows:
| In 1885 Cleveland was elected. He be-
gan an attack upon the protective tariff
system under which the country had
grown rich and prosperous. At once there
came reaction the other way and under
tue banners of protection Harrison was
| elected President. A new tariff bill was
enacted which restored prosperity, yet
strangely enough when the wealth of the
| country was greater and the wages of the
wage earners were higher than had ever
been the case before in this country or in
| any nation on the gloke, a second reac-
tion against the Republican party came
fHnUaIanG i'm, oh ON
President. What followed his election
and inauguration Let his own words,
uttered on the 30th of June, 1898, tell the
story:
''The distrust and apprehension con-
corning the financial situation which per-
wade all business circles have already
caused great loss and damage to our
people, and threaten to cripple our mer-
| chants, stop the wheels of manufaotur-
| ing, bring distress and privation to our
| farmers and withhold from our working
| men the wage of labor"
| Nevertheless his administration madly
| pressed forward to make the conditions
| worse. The Wilson tariff bill of 1894 was
| passed. What is now the situation!
Agriculture is Frustrated; it is not profit
| able for the farmer to raise wool, yet the
wooden mills are stopped because the
markets are glutted by the outpourings
| from English woolen factories. President
harrison in four years reduced the na-
tional debt 1886. 527, 1866; President C1eye-
| land in three years has increased the in
terest bearing bonded debt $262, 602, 245.
| Therefore the second reaction has set in
| against the men and tho party that have
done these things. In 1894, there was a
| Republican uprising which gave greater
majorities against the Democracy than
ever had been known since the organiza.
tion of the Republican party, and today
there is q settled determination in the
minds of the American people to restore
in November of this year. the Republican
party to more complete power in state
and nation than it ever yet possessed: all
this we hope and trust. to be accom-
plished under the banner of our ener-
getio, strong, positive and magnificent
New England leader, Thomas B. Reed.

and il is n real qualification to recognize
