MASSACHUSETTS.
The Eepublican Convention Strong
Arraignment of the Party .by the
Chairman.
Boston, April26. The Republican
State Convention assembled here to
day. John S. Sandford was perman
ent Chairman. In his speech he said
no one who has watched the current
of recent political events has failed to
see a wide spread dissatisfaction
with the management of national af
fairs; and as a consequence, there have
been large and significant deflections
from our ranks. We have seen the
Republican party routed in its strong
holds, and the National House of Re
presentatives occupied by our oppo
nents. It is idle to disguise the fact
that there have been periods within
the last four years, whea a national
election would have brought im m inent
hazard of a Democratic restoration.
Have you any longer a doubt as to
the causes which have wrought this
change in our fortune ? Surely we
have not abjured our creed. Our dis
tinctive policy and aims were never
more clearly affirmed; our traditions
and the names of our great leaders
never more reverently held. No; the
protest is not against the record er
creed, but against the methods j of ad
ministration ; against the dominant
influences and tendencies that, hate
debased the character and tone of the
public service ; against a leadership
that ha widened po wer and patronage
lie good; against a partlzanship nar
row, intense and violent, that has
usurped the place of broad and en
lightened statesmanship, and repelled
occasions of recognized character and
ability as an element too repugnant
to be tolerated; against a tide of finan
cial morality that has corrupted the
standards of official honesty, and turn
ed places of public trust into oppor
tunities of private gain or public plun
der. The Republican party will be re
creant to its commanding duty, nay,
invite the penalty of deserved defeat,
if it does not place itself with unhesi
tating courage, in front of the move
ment for reform, and carry it forward
with uncompromising zeal. The duty
and remedy is not to scuttle the good
old ship, but to pump out the bilge
water, discharge the recreant, and
summon to command the true and
worthy men. There is nothing in the
temper of the country, however, nor
in the recent elections, to justify the
presumption oq our part that we
have done much to be forgiven. The
issue of immediate and radical reform
confronts us; we cannot evade it; we
can afford to make no mistakes.
The committee on resolutions re
ported the following :
Resolved, That this committee leave
the delegates of Massachusetts to the
Republican National Convention, un
pledged and umnstructed in respect ot
individual candidates for President and
Vice-President of the United States,
appiause but expects and requires
them each and all to work and vote
for those candidates, and those only,
whose character give unquestionable
assurance to the whole country that
they will be faithful and zealous to
maintain the equal rights of all citizens
under the Constitution, to bring about
the resumption of specie payment, at
a date not later than that already fixed
by law, and to effect a thorough and
radical reform of the civil service,to the
end that the administration of public
affairs may be characterized by effic
iency, economy and purity.
Carried unanimously.
SgHon E R Hoar, R H Dana, J M
Forbes and Paul A Chadbourn, were
elected delegates at large. The Con
vention adjourned.
The friends of Mr Bristow consider
that they have secured a majority of
the four delegates. It is stated that
Mr Dana and President Chadbourn are
out spoken in his favor and that Forbes
although previously mentioned
on the unpledged ticket, may be con
sidered a Bristow man. Mr Hoar is
unwilling to pledge himself but is un
derstood to lavor Baine tor nrst
choice.
