PITTSBURGH, September l6 This city
has been in a perfect ferment to-day, the
streets being filled with the constantly
arriving delegations OF veterans. Not
less than ten thousand soldiers aud sail
ors are now here, and q more careful
computation, made upon information de-
rived from railroad offic ais and others,
places the number of veterans who will
be in the sity to morrow at not less
than $4,000. The greatest enthusiasm
is manifest everywhere. Fifth avenue
ia spanned at its intersection with
Wool, Smithfield and Market streets
with large and tasteiully decorated trl-
umphal arches. The newspaper offices.
public buildings. private residences and
many business houses are elaborateIy

companied by the Marine Band. They
were met by the Hartranft Club and
escorted to- their headquarters
The Chicago Veterans arrived, ac-
compsnied 10y Browns Military Band
Next followed the Rhode Island delegs
ton with General Burnside at Their
head; and then Brooklyn, New York,
Philadelphia, California, and other
delegations in turn. Various counties
in Pennsylvania are sending de'ega
tious. The Ladies Subscription Com
mittee, 30 famous during the war for
feeding soldiers, have re-organized and
today furnished food to over 1900
men.
So lar every delegation has been pro.
vided with quarters, and it is hoped all
will be supplied with lodging The
hotels are all full, the steamboats, are
filling last, and warehouses, society
rooms and halls are b~ing pressed into
service. Among the distinguished ar
rivals were General Hsrtranft, General
Simon Cameron. Generals Hawley. Hill

Curtin OF Penpsy Ivania.

The Liberal Republican State Execu.
tive Committee OF Pennsylvania has
issued the following address:
To the People of Pennsylvania
The Liberal Republican State Com.
mittee have formally nominated Hon
Andrew g. Curtin as candidate for
Delegate at-large to the Constitutional
Convention. In doing go we need not
present any elaborate cJmmendstlon o.
the choice we have made Had the
pre- erences OF the people prevailed with
the political managers, who have long
ru ed the State for the attainment Of
selfish ends, his name would have been
first on the list OF nominations 'or the
responsible position. He would have
been presented, not as partisan, hut as
a patriot who has shed the brightest
lustre upon the annals OF our common
wealth.
A generate on has passed away since
our fundamental law has been revised
by the sovereign power that created IT,
and our progress has been marked IN
all that contributes to prosperity and
greatness. The rapid growth and ad-
vancement OF our industry, it, varied
and multiplied channels OF Prodactlon,
and the vast business interests reared
upon the wealth it has developed, have
made US outgrow the Constitution Of
our 'athers.
But to revise it in the interest OF
public integrity and permanent pros
perity, the most expeIienc- d and alth-
iul OF our statesmen should he charged
with the task. Among these, Andrew
G. Curtin stands con'es,edly eminent,
and he woud bring to the important
work a measure Of devotion to the peo-
pie OF the Commonwealth that lew
could equal and none suTpsss.
During six years OF sorest trial to the
Stale and nation he filed our Exrcu-
tive chair. He was met with RESPONSE
bilties which severely tested his lntelli-
gencp and b patriotism, but he met
everv public want, discharged every
public duty and retired with tne formal
approval Of all parties tor his enlight-
ened and succes.ful administration. aud
beloved a. the soldiers 'rlend
No man in our great 5 ate is more
familiar with our peop'e; with our dI-
versified and growing Interests; WITH
the new necessities created by life
time OF progress and none can bring
10 the amendment OF our Constitution
more practical wisdom OF greater
fidelity
Assured that the people OF the State,
without regard to political differences,
desire his services. We present his name
ss candidate. and We ask for m the
earnest support OF all who believe him
most competent and deserving. with
abiding confidence that he will be tri-

We Democrats find ourselves in this

in close affiiiation with Robert Toombs,
