Coxcoxp, N. H., Jan. 9—The republican state convention was called to order at PI wix Hall at 11:45 by Mr. E. M. Top! litt, presi- dent of the state committee. Mr. Wm. Bell appeared upon the platform, and was received with applause. On being introduced he addressed the convention. He opened with a recital of the proud record of the republican part nd passed on to the consideration of the differeiices in the party at the present time. The great body is not divided in respect to any of the cardinal doctrines of the party. ‘On the southern question all republicans cor- tially a demanding permanent pacifi- south, and complete protection of in all their rights. They agree asto the purification of the civil serviee and the di char ge of the national 1 ity in honest money. W ney of views may exist is coufined to the manner in which those priu- ciples can be e: nio practice. The dif- ference concerning methods uot. privelpjes, and the question which addresses itself to the practi nsible men of the party is, whether It is Wise to exalt matters of minor moment into a cause of serious divisions. Whether it is not beter for those who are laboring side by side each in his own fashion to accomplish a common result, to be friends instead of opp: nents. But. however these questions may be swered, there is nothing in the political uation that in any way affects the coming campaign in New Hampshire. Our election involves no question of national policy. It is simply a choice between republican and dem- ocratic rule. ji ‘The Nominations. Benj. F.
