FAST MAM, TrRatns—Why New York Cra not be Accommodated—The uselessness of a fast mail train leaving New York at 4.30 p m., in addition to the regular fast mail train leaving at that hour in the morning, wiil readily understood when tt ts stated that the regular mail train which leaves New York tor St. Louis and intermediate points every Teaches St Louis at 6 o'clock in 2g, in ample time to accommodate rybody; while a tast mad train would reach there at 4 a. m.—a time when most per le arestillin bed. The gain of two hours 4 Lime, it will thus be seen, would be of no advan ‘age to St. Louis, as the mall would not be distributed any earlier than itis at present. Besides this, the train would pass through a country stretehing several hundred miles in the night time, and too late to accommodate the people living along the line. Tne fast maz) train leaving New York in the morning distributes as far as Pittsburg by daylight, and tn time for the people Hving along the line to get their malls the same day, A fast mail train west from New York at night, therefore, would not serve the purpose for whieh the morning fast train was pat on viz: to accommodate not only the people re sicing at the termini of the route, bat Lose residing at intermediate points.

The repub- liean state convention to nominate a candi- date jor governor met bore tals morning. The interest felt in the result, and the O<cite- ment over the organization of the conven- tion, fully equals, if it does not exceed, that of two years ago. when Gen. Butler was a candidate, but who now appears as one of the delezates from Gloucester. The prominent candidates for Dr. George B. Loring, of Salem, and Hon. Alex. H Rice, of Boston, and the feeling among their respective adherents is very bitter, and is farther intensified by the elose- ness Of the figures which are connted for each. This morning the friends of Mr. Rice counted 265 and those of Dr. Loring 21, with a scattering for Hon. Charles Francis Adams it is barely possivle, come to the id be nominated. Tne leading re- publicans, however. scont any such com- promise. and assert that they mightas well support Gov. Gaston, who bas been renorai- nated by the democrats. Mr. Adams has some strength in the country, but the city of Koston Is a unit against tim. Should Dr. Loring be nominated there are fears of a bolt in the party, or at least such a serious disaf- fection as to give the state to the democrats again. Dr. Loring’s supporters talk the same way about Mr. Rice, and predict Gaston's election if Rice is nominated. Itis this enn lition of affairs that prompted George Wil- liam Curtis to write a letter bere advising the nomination of Adams and the renniting of the republican party on. his selection. Viee President Wilson {fs here, and, It is understood, favors the nomination of Adams. He is, as usual. very desirous for peace and harmony in the party. Senator Dawes is #lso here, and favors the nomination of Rice. The contest is really one of men, rather than of measures. The liquor question hav- ing been settled during the past year, does notenter into the contest. Both parties think alike on the currency question, and the pop- ularity of the democratic ticket, strength- eved by the nomination of Gen. William F. Bartlett (a republican) for lieutenant gov- erno., is in the main to be overcome. [By Associated Press.) Vice President Wilson Presiding. WokcrsTER, MASs.. Sept. 29.—The repub- lican state convention was called to order this moruing by Col. W. W. Clapp, of the Boston Journal, who read the call, and said it was deemed best todispense with a tem- Lorary organization. Committees on per- manent organization and on resolutions were then appointed, Hon. Henry L. Dawes be- ng made chairman of the latter. Mr. Put- nim, of Blackstone, offered a resolution in- dicating that there was a crisis iu the party, and that there shou!d be arduous work do: ardcalling on the state central committee todgvise ways and means not only to secure a@large majority but_an overwhelming one at the next ion. This motion, after some diseussion, was referred t. th. committee on resolutions. minittes on permanent organization 1a list of officers, with Hon. Henry Wilson as president of the con- vention, and be took the chatr amid lou applause. Rev Mr. Sampson, of Worcester. baving invoked the divine blessing upo. the assembly, the Vice President procesded to address Ube convention. THE VICE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. He spoke of the grave responsibilities con- fronting the republican party of the state, urging unity of action and honesty of pur- pose in the selection of candidates. He re- ferred to the republican party in its fight against slavery, saying it carried the coun try through tha’ it epoch of tue civil war and made for itself a record of which it was justly prond. It could not, however, live on past memories; it should meet the living issues, be watchful of the administration of the government, quick to detect abuses an: prompt to correct them. Wars invariabl, brought with them great abuses, and our great contest had its effect on the nation. Speaking of the currency question, he said “In the stress of the war, when creditors and armies were unpaid, the government tssuet 1ts ‘Promises to pay,’ and made them legal tenders. When that enactment was male the United States government tn goo faith intended that these notes should be redeem ed in gold or in interest-bearing bonds. But ten years have passed, and these “Promi fo pay” still remain unfulfilled. The green back has, indeed, largely appreciated, and Weare justly proud of the credit of the na Uon in ihe markets of the world. But we do hot, and we cannot as Americans, take pride in the singular fuet that a stray note from an urknown bank in one of the British prov- overnor are inces can be sold in State street fur a premium of more than tw per cent. over one of our legal tender notes With all the wealth of forty mii lion of people bebind it. Tae plightet faith of the nation, thehonor of the go nent, the enduring interests of the people, o! the rich and of the poor, of capital aud labor, aildemand that the government by wise and prudent legisiation and administration, should at the earliest practicab'e period make its notes equal to and convertible into gold. He urged the republicans of Maxsa chusetts and elsewhere, who had separated from the party in the Presidential election of I8f2, to again join their old associates and’ald in correcting the errorsof which they complained in vindicating the claims of the rly to public confidence and in placing it in @ position to win theenthusiastic and per- sistent support of the friends of liberty and mln. peciacates and reconciliation, plighted faith and national honor.
