THE GRANITE STATE.
New Hampshire Republicans NOmin-
afe Candidate for Governor.

Concord, N, H.. September 1.-THE
Republican State convention held today
for the nomination of candidates for
Governor and Presidential electors was
one of the most largely attended dele
gate gatherings ever held by the party in
this State. Chester b. Jordan OF
Lancaster was nominated for Governor
having $50 votes to SO for FRANKLIN Wor-
cester of Hollis.
The following were nominated by ac-
cIamation as Presidential electors: Col.
William j. Hoyt, Manchester: Hon.
Seth M. Richards, Newport; Hon. Joseph
0. Hobbs, North Hampton and Hon. VIII
liam II. Mitchell, Littleton.
The platform adopted was as follows:
We cordially approve the platform
adopted by the National Republican con-
vention at Philadelphia, June II, 1900, and
we accept each declaration of that great
convention as true Republican doctrine
We congratulate the country that the
Republican party has established by leg
islation the gold standard, thus making
it certain that while that party remains
in power, our money will be sound mon
ey; but we recognize the fact that the
friends of such currency must be vigil
liant and constant in its defense. land we
pledge ourselves to oppose every attempt
to re-establish silver as andard money.
We congratulate the people of the state
on the wonderful prosperity which has
come to every section of our land during
the administration OF President McKin-
ley. The condition of business paralysis
that resulted in the period of the last
National Democratic administration has
given place to the natural and inevitable
results OF more effective, more scientific
and more comprehensive Republican pro-
tectiYe tariff, which is rendered adjust
able and advantageous to the changing
and progressive necessities of information
al trade by the provisions OF the law for
treaty reciprocity Capital is no longer
idle; manufactures have been stimulat-
ed; labor it fully employed; home con-
sumption has increased; our foreign |
trade has been Immensely augmented
and every branch of Industry is in a
healthful and prosperous condition.
icy of the administration which has
placed the United States In the forefront
OF the great nations of the world; that
policy which has put the American peo-
pie on record as loyal supporters OF civili-
zation and humanity and ardent oppos-
ers of barbarism and oppression. The
military force now engaged in preserving
Ordor- and e11bdu{7,oe roT,oI1ioY, II, kbo DhfI-
ippines, and the American sojourners
and sailors who are lighting to protect
the lives of American citizens in China,
must be vigorously and Loyalty sustained.
The absurd cries of 'militarism'' and
imperialism" must not be permitted to
check the progress of our movements;
and the military arm must be active so
long as there shall be rebels in Luzon and
outrages committed upon American cit
liens in China.
We reaffirm that principle of the Re
publican party set forth in the platforms
of the National conventions of 1856 and
1860, that the constitution confers upon
Congress sovereign power over the terri
tories of the United States for this gov
own force does not extend to territory &C
quired by the United States and is dog
ma at variance with the explicit prOv1s-
ions of that instrument itself, with con-
exposition and with leg
islative and judicial precedent.
The platform commends the adminis-
tration of Governor Rollins and heartily
olo fr,
mountain country, and sea-
shore resorts. 1t promises a liberal poll
cy in the appropriation of money for
public improvements, good roads, forestry
and judioious fish and game
laws are advoca ted.
The ''old home'' idea, inaugurated and
advocated by Gov. Rollins is endorsed
and special appropriations for benevolent
and educational purposes are favored;
ana the platform approves all proper
efforts to advance the cause of temperance
in the home and community, ''recogniz-
ing the saloon as a menace to the best in
terests of the people of our state, Eve are
opposed to the repeal Of the present pro-
hibitory laws"
The final plank reads: believing
that the reelection of President McKin-
ley is demanded by the highest interests
of the nation, we call upon the voters OF
New Hampshire to give their support to
the nominees for Presidential electors of
this convention; and to the end that the
policies and principles which have made
our state SO prosperous during the long
period of Republican ascendenoy may be
we confidently appeal for the
triumphant election OF our candidate for
Every consideration of public
good demands that the affairs OF state
and nation be continued in the hands Of
the Republican party.s The phenomenal
vote of 1895, which was given as a protest
against the heresies of the Chicago plat
form, is the best possible assurance thai
