AN ENTHUSIASTIC CONVENTION I
The Delegates for the Man From Maine
Chosen Without aDlssentlng Voice The
Platform Declares for GoldSym
pathy for Cuban Patriots.
Bostok, Mnrch 23. A larger or mora
enthuslastlo body of prominent Bepubll
cans lias seldom mot at a stnto convention
hero than was gathered at Music Hall yes
terday to olect four delogntos-nt-largo and
their altcrnatos to attend tho national
convention at St. Louts In Juno. Of 2,002
delegates entitled to a seat in tho conven
tion 1,851 wero in nttendanco, full of en
thusiasm for Hon. Thomas 11. Kccd as
candidate for prosidout of tho United
States.
Every delegate had in his buttonhole n
Keod button, bcarlngnplcturo of tho man,
with a lnrtro background of tho national
colors, and ovory tlmo the namo of tho
Jlaino statcsmnnwns uttered cheers burst
from tho throats of tho vast crowd that
filled tho convention hall. Nor wero tho
dolegatcs much moro cnthuslnsttc thnn
tho scores of ladlos who occuplod seats in
tho first gallory. "Whilo tho men ap
plauded and cheered tho women waved
their scarfs and handkorohlofs. Bold-
wln's full band boro Its part in kcoplng
up tho enthusiasm, playing tho natlonnl
and patriotic melodies.
Tho proceedings of tho convention wero
harmonious In a markod degree, and tho
program mappod out by tho stato commit
too was adopted with a sluglo exception,
that of tho olection of Dr. S. K. Courtnoy,
of Boston, a colored man, to bo an alter
nate. Ho was nominated from tho floor
by Morris C. Allcr, a colored delegato
from Boston. Tho speeches wero listened
to with marked attention, and every point
Boomed to recolvo Us merited amount of
npplauso or laughter. This was particu
larly tho case whilo Chairman McCall and
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge woro deliver
ing their addresses.
Georgo H. Lyman, chairman ot tuo Uo-
publican stato convention, called tho gath
ering to order, and Congressman bamuel
W, McCall, of Winchester, wos mado per
manent chairman.
Senator Houry Cabot Lodgo, as chair
man, presented tho report of tho commit-
too on resolutions. Ho wa3 rrequentiy in
terrupted with applause This was es
pecially marked when tho Cuban and gold
standard planks and tho section referring
to tho separation of tho church ana stato
wero read, but all previous demonstrations
were not to bo compared with tho roar
that followed the mention of Heed's namo
ns the nomlneo of tho Republicans of
Massachusetts for tho presidency. Then
tho enthusiasm roso toaclliuax,nndrouml
upon round of npplauso rolled up througli
tho hall. Tho prluo lpal resolutions are as
follows:
"Wo ore ontlroly opposed to tho freo and
unlimited coiungo of silvor, nnd to any
chango In tho existing gold standard ox-
cent by international agreement. Each
dollar must bo kept as good as ovory other
dollar. Tho credit of tho United states
must bo maintained ot tho highest point,
so that It cannot bo questioned anywhere
either at homo or nbroad. Every promise
must bo rigidly kept and ovory obligation
rodeomablo In coin must bo paid In gold.
"Tho United States' should adhoro rigidly
to tho Amorlcau principle of tho eutlro
separation of church nnd stato and no ap
propriation public monoy for soctnrlan
schools, whethor for tho Indians or for
others, should bo permlttod.
"Wo sympathlzo with tho Cubans In
their strugglo for lndopoudouco. As friends
of frcodom everywhere we wish thorn suc
cess, and bollovo that tho Unltod Statos
should use Its tnfluenco and good offices In
tho interests of humanity to bring to nn
end tho useless and bloody war now doso
lntlng Cuba, and to glvo to tho peoplo of
that Island peaco and golf govornmeut."
Whon at length tho enthusiasm had
boon given full vent, nnd tho reading of
tho platform was onded, Senator Lodgo
offered a resolution on tho death of tho
lato Governor Fredorlo L. Greenhnlgo,
which was unanimously adopted by n ris
ing voto. A similar resolution on tho
death of ox-Govornor Hobiusou was also
adopted. .
Then followed tho olection of four dolo-gatcs-at-largo
to tho national convention.
They are: Senator Henry Cabot Lodgo
of Nuliant, Sv, Murray Crano of Daltou,
Ebon S. Draper of Hopedalo nud Curtis
Guild, Jr., of Boston. They wore chosou

Comparative Reports of a Very Gratify

THE BOARD IS ITS OWN BOSS I
President Spalding Announces Privileges
Given Under Laws Passed by the Last
LegislatureAttention to be Clven to
a General Cleaning of the Town.
A regular meeting of tho Hoard of Health
was held last night. Tho reports showed
that during tho past month there wero
deaths in the town nnd 11 cases of contagious
diseases were recorded 7 of scarlet fever
and 4 of diphtheria.
President Spalding stated that there aro 23
cases of scarlet fever in Jtahauoy City.
Shenandoah has been fortunate in not hav
ing a death from tho disease. Muhanoy City
only commenced recently to placard houses
and Philadelphia iias abandoned tho folly of
hesitating to enforce tho placard rule. In n
great measure it is tho isolation of cases and
tho enforcement of tho rules and regulations
that lias enabled Shenandoah to escape so
well.
President Spalding also stated that tho
Board of Health Is not subject to the Bor
ough Council and that it is not necessary,
under tho laws enacted by tho last Legisla
ture, that rules adopted by tho Board shall
receive the endorsement of Council.
Tho Ikiard will adopt now nnd amended
rules in the near future and will probably
fix Hccnso rates for plumbers.
Tho attention of tho Health Onicer was
called to a complaint about the sanitary con
dition of Itobblns opera house.
Health Oflicer Conry recommended that
tho Coal street nnd Strawberry alley sewor
that now has an outlet at Catherine street
bo extended towards the Kohinoor dirt
banks. Ho says most of tho recently re
ported cases of diphthcr a, and the worst,
exist in the neighborhood of tho outlet.
.V discussion of the general sanitary con
dltion of tho town lead to a motion instruct'
ing tho Health Olllccr tu attend a meeting of
tho Borough Council and ask that that body
co-operate with him in bringing about a
tenerul Sprir.g cleaning up of the town,
specially of alleys.
