Nominating Conventions Basis of Representation Bill
A Massachusetts House committee recommended rejecting resolutions favoring a basis of representation for nominating conventions. The vote structure and divisions followed, with a later division tally of 95 yeas to 68 nays. The measure would limit conventions to parties with at least 3 percent of statewide votes, basing delegation on prior election results while guaranteeing at least one delegate per town or ward.

Freight and Charter Activity Mixed in Boston and New York
Boston sees higher volumes without rate gains as coal and ice cargoes shift to various Atlantic ports. Listings show diverse routes from New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore, with prices ranging from 60 to 150 cents per ton for coal and ice and other goods moving to Matanzas, Havana, and beyond. In New York, a quieter week yields unchanged rates and limited demand, with several charters reported to or from the Americas and Europe, including petroleum and general cargo runs.
