At 10:S5 the president, Senator Thurston, an
nounced that the divine blessing would be in

short and feeling prayer, beginning: Father
OF all, from whose hands the centuries fall like
grains Of sand, we meet to-day united, free and
loyal" He closed with the recital Of the
Lords prayer
The chairman said the first order OF busi-
ness was the reception OF the report of the COM
tnittee on resolutions, and the chair recog.
nized for that purpose Senator-elect Foraker,
OF Ohio.
Mr.. Foraker, as he stepped upon the plat
form, was received with hearty applause. He
said: las chairman Of the committee on reso-
1utions, have the honor to report as follows
and proceeded to read the platform.
Mr.. Foraker read In clear voice, with dis
tinct enunciation. He gave a pointed empha-
sis TO the Endorsement OF President Harrison,
which was received with cheers.
\ The reading OF the platform as q whole was
listened TO with marked attention, and at the
closo It was greatly cheered. The reading oc-
cupicd 20 minutes.
Mr.. Foraker moved the adoption Of the re-
portas the republican national platform for

tiou OF the convention, recognized Senator

In speaking Of the new pistol law the
Hickory Progress says: IA law not en-
forced is worse than no law at all and
should be repealed. The pistol toting
law is good one, the best ever had,
and should be enforced to the letter. 1t
is not left discretionary with the officer
whether or not he shall punish the Of
fender, but the law forces him to do so.
This is one good feature Of tho law. IL
a man knows that he will be punished
for carrying pistol provided he is
caught carrying one, and that the off,
GERS cannot help Furnishing him, he will
not carry one after he is once convicted.
Up to the present time the law has
seemed to work all right and the habit
OF carrying concealed deadly weapons
stopped 10 some extent. The papers Of
the State press report but few cases
where the law is violated and the law
generally is seeming to have whole
some effect. But occasionally there are
instances where the pistol is drawn
from its hiding and a man shot, and Of
ten these same pistols could be dis
covered by the proper officers before
they are drawn II the close watch was
kept on the bulky back pocket Of tho
man who is known to be seeking tho
life of his fellow man. The pistol law
seems to be good one, and If it is en-
forced as 1t should be it will have q
wholesome effect for the good OF the
States reputation"

THE DISAPPOINTED
opinisns Of Those Who Favored oths,
Candidates Upon Yesterdays
Nominations.
Mr.. PIatt,s sentiments.


Mr.. Platt was seen at the Southern
hotel last evening after the convention
and made the following statement:
Like q good soldier and a good re-
publican l accept the situation and
will support the ticket heartily and
believe 1t will be elected. There has
been much in the contest to irritate
and dishearten the republicans who
have not been In accord with
the men who have become masters of
the situation. Our friends are salts
fed with the results of their efforts in
compelling the adoption of gold
standard platform. That is of more
Importance to the success Of the ticket
and the prosperity OF the nation than
all the rest. 1t Is conceded that the
controlling element of the New York
delegation led to the movement and
was instrumental in accomplishing
this object.
"As for the head of She ticket, no
one doubts that he will stand upon
the platform that the convention has
adopted, and carry out the principles
therein enunciated. Whatever may
have occurred In the past. feel conf
dent that he will govern himself by
the wishes Of the people as SO clearly
expressed in the gold standard plat
form.
"The only other thing that the con-
trolling element desired, which they
found attainable, was the naming of
a candidate from New York for the
vice-presidency. They would have ac-
complished that result had Gov. Nor
ton consented to the use Of his name
for the second place after the conven-
ton declined to name him for the first
place. He would have consented to
the use of his name for the vice-presi-
dency in the interest Of harmony
and the success Of the ticket, but
be learned of the factious opposition
of a small minority Of the New York
delegation and wired peremptorily de-
clining TO permit his mamie to go be-
fore the convention. We had suf-
ficient number votes pledged to Sc
cure him the nomination, but on re-
ceiving his peremptory instructions
there was nothing for us to do, but to
support our neighbor, Garrett A. Ho-
bart, Of New Jersey, the most capable
and available candidate"
