Concord, N. H, March 31.-NeW
Hampshire Republicans held their state
convention today and elected dele
gates to the national Republican con-
vention at ST. Louis. United States
Senator w. E. Chandler presided and
was greeted enthusiastically.
OF the 700 entitled to seats in the
convention, 679 were present. But one
ticket for delegates at large was pre-
sented and that bore the names of
Hon. Stephens Jewett of Laconia, Gen,
Frank S. Streeter of Concord; Hon.
Charles T. Means of Manchester and
Col. James A. Wood of Acworth. These
four candidates for delegates at large
were elected by reclamation
George A. Clark of Manchester,
Stephen H Gale of Exeter, Oscar Hatch
of Littleton and Dexter Richards of
Newport, were elected a1ternates.
There was slight stir in the even
current of the proceedings when Col.
Frank Rollins of Concord, offered a
substitute financial plank, identical
with that adopted by the Massachu-
setts convention last week, as an
| amendment to the resolutions, but
| Chairman Putney, Senator Ga1linger
| and others opposed the proposition and
the amendment was lost by an over
whelming viva voce vote.
| The adoption of the platform as pre-
sented by the committee was made
unanimous.
Adjournment followed the adoption
! of the platform.
| The committee on resolutions through
| it's chairman, Hon. Henry M. Putney
| of Manchester, reported it.
The platform opens with a congratu-
| Iation to the country upon the near
| approach of an opportunity for release
| from Democratic misrule. ITO the
end,~ it continues that this great de-
| liverance may be fully accomplished
and our nation may be restored to the
| honor, the glory and the material pros
| perity to which it attained under Re
| publican policy, we demand of the ma
| tional convention soon to assemble at
ST. Louis the nomination of candidates
| whose election will mean the speedy
| repeal of the Infamous and ruinous
Democratic tariff and the substitution
therefor of one based upon the princi-
| pies of the Mckinley act
I'VE demand the enactment of cur
| rency laws that will provide a clrcElat-
ing medium in gold, silver and paper
which will always be Interchangeable
at it's face value, because each ano
every dollar of it is of the same pIr-
chasing power as gold dollar; nbera
| appropriations for an adequate navy
| and coast and harbor defenses and in
| ternal improvements; fair and generous
| treatment of Union veterans; a foreign
| policy chacterized by sturdy Ameri
canism, including the assertion of the
| Monroe doctrine and the moral anC
material support of the Cuban patri
OTIS, if they have not already achieved
their independence, and an immediat,
return to all the policies in which tn
Republican party has so successful!
Illustrated the soundness of it's prin
cipIes, and to the methods by whicl
it has demonstrated it's ability to appl.
| those principles to the administrator
of the government.
1--WE recognize as most conspicuou
among such candidates New England
| noble and illustrious son, the Hoo
Thomas B. Reed of Maine, and la
pure and able statesman and cham
pion of protection, the Hon William
Mckinley of Ohio. We will give tn
electoral vote of New Hampshire t
any nominee who worthily represent
the party, but we prefer one of thes
because either is in himself a plat
