SECOND DAY.
PITTsBURG, Sept. IS.
The second days session of the Sol
diers and Sailors National COnven-
ton was short, the only business
transacted being the adoption of the
resolutions. These avOW a continued

ator Wilson. After the adoption of q
vote ofthanks, Gen. Hawley proposed
three cheers for the good men and
women of Pittsburg, which were CIV
en- with will. The convention then
adjourned sine die.
The all-pervadjng enthusiasm no.
ticeable on the first day was again ap-
parent. As a popular gathering this
affair took rank above anything ever
before attempted, and will bear good
fruit in the future.
The Republican demonstration to-
day was probably the largest ever
held in Western Pennsylvania, and
brought vividly to mind the exciting
times of 1910 and 1874. 1t is estima-
ted that there were 10000 strangers
in the city.
The streets were resplendent with
flags and banners, evergreens and
flowers. The weather was beautiful,
and the procession, which started at
10 o'clock, was a perfect success.
Every trade snd profession was repre-
/ sented, while the yeOmen of the eOun-
try districts were there in great num-
ber5. Notices innumeraLle were dis
| played on banners and Transparent
cies, patriotic and witty, all of which
drew plaudfts from the crowds which
lined the route of march.
The procession was three hours in
/ passing a given point. The meeting
at Friendship Grove was large and
enthusiastic. Gen. Butler was the
principal speaker, and delivered an
able argumentative address, treating
of all questions now before the people.
When he left the stand, he was
surrounded by the multitude, all eag-
er to clasp his hand, one enthusiastic
individual throwing his arms around
his neck and kissing him.
The torchlight procession in the
evening, in honor of the soldier and
sailor guests of the city, was a fine
demonstration. Miles and miles of
streets were brilliantly illuminated,
and every available point of Observa-
ton along the route was occupied.
The streets were filled with men,
woman, and children, all cheering as
the men marched past. Rain began
to fall at half past nine, but the peO-
pie would not seek shelter, standing
in their places until the procession
was at an end.
Pennsylvania will send greeting 10
Ohio in October. Hartranft is sure to
receive ten thousand majority, while
double the number will he rolled up
for Grant and Wilson in November.
THE RESOLUTIONS
Were reported by the committee,
received with chez rs and unanimous
ly adopted.
I'VE the soldiers and sailors who
in the Union army and navy during
the late war, in mass convention in
Pittsburg assembled, for the purpose
of expressing our firm conviction up
on the issues which are logical results
of the war, affirm
'l. That it affords unmingled pleas
ure to meet again and revive the
memories of our campaigns for Union
and liberty, and thence to draw les
sons for the present duty and future
guidance.
't2. We re-affirm our devotion to
the Union of the States. The arbitra-
ment of war has decreed that we are
one nation, with one flag, with liber-
ty and equality before the law of all
men, and national authority is essen
tiel to establish, protect, and defend
liberty and the inalienable rights of
the people.
''3. We enter q solemn protest
against transferring the control of the
army and navy, the treasury, and the
entire government, the constitutional
amendments, with the execution of
the laws themselves, to a selfish and
corrupt coalition, composed chiefly OF
elements but recently in open hOstili-
ty to them all.
az. We cherish no spirit of revenge
toward our fellow citizens of the
South. The magnanimity of our late
COmmander-in-Chi on the field Of
AppOmattOX was sufficient guarantee
to the Union army that the bloody
chasm of the war was closed, and
with malice toward none, but with
charity for all, we extend the right
hand of fellowship to all those who
accept in good faith the results of the
war, and who will extend to every
American citizen, of whatever race or
color, the rights which are sOlemnly
guaranteed by the Constitution Of the
United States, and the laws made in
pursuance thereof.
'5. RepOsing implicit confidence in
the patriotism and gratitude of the
nation, we cOnfide to it every interest
of the Union soldier, and we here .ex-
press our most cordial appreciation of
the unparalleled generosity of the
people, as expressed through Con-
gress in the laws providing pensions
and bOunties, and we fully believe
that any inequality which may ap-
pear will be eheerfully and promptly
corrected.
sc. We gladly and proudly re-af-
firm our enthusiastic confidence in
the integrity, patriotism, and ability
of President Grant, and We point 20
his messages for opinions and recOm-
msndatiOns in harmony with the
most advanced political sentiment.
We point to the condition Of the
country in all its relations, foreign
and domestic, for the proof that its
laws are well administered and its
honor maintained. We rejoice to see
associated with him the incOrrupti-
BILE patriot and representative Of
American institutions, Hon. HeneTy
Wilson, of Massachusetts.
az. We pledge our steady and earn
est 5uDDOEL 70 IAESAuEnL NNlduI anu
Congress in reforming the civil ser
vice and establishing the highest
standard of honor and fidelity among
all the servants of the government.
"S. Although this convention IS
purely national in its inception and
purposes, we can not refrain from ex-
pressing our sympathy and giving
our cordial support to our gallant
cOmrade leading the column in Penn
sylvania, whose illustriOus record as
a brave and faithful soldier should en-
dear him to every loyal heart

Rings OF Saturn.
OF all worlds brought under inspec-
tiOn by the telescope, Saturn is the
most remarkable in its physical con-
structiOn. Philosophers have been
puzzling themselves since the days Of
Galileo to explain how those rings, re-
vOlving about the planets, were
formed. They are not quite certain
whether there are two or mOre-all
lying in the same plane, separated by
a space too wide TO be crossed from
one to the Other-being thin and fiat,
