Grant ~ WILSON ana the Ia.
State Ticket.
IFrom Washington Republican, June 1q1
| 1t is well known that Republican asso-
| Citations exist in the District, composed of
residents of the States, among whom are
many of the most active politicians of the
! country. We propose from time to time TO
! publish the action of these associations,
which may be regarded as fair expression
Of the people of the States.
! Last night the Pennsylvania association
| passed the following resolutions, indorslnS
Grant and Wilson:
Whereas, the National Republican Con-
! vention, held at Philadelphia on the 9Th
and 9th instant, in its regularly constituted
and organized capacity, nominated for
President Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and
for Vice President Henry Wilson, of Mas
sachusetts and
Whereas, the said convention established
certain cardinal principles as the ground
work of our party superstructure, and to
which it pledged the fealty of the loyal, pa
| triotic and law abiding people OF the land
and
Whereas, il is proper and i'll accordance
with imc-honored custom, that the people
subscribe to and ratify the action of those
who have carried out in good faith the
conventional powers delegated TO them
! Therefore,
ReSolrcd, That the Pennsylvania Repub-
liCan Association at Washington city, ID.
G., composed, as it is, of members from
every county, and identified with every So
cial, political and commercial interest of
our great Commonwealth, hereby ratilies
and seals with its appreciation both the
nominees and the platform of principles of
| the Philadelphia convention and that
while accepting the theory that 'men are
nothing, and principles everything" we
viii 50 devote our time, talents and Cner
ges, TO the advancement of both, that ut
the end of another administration the great
mission Of the Republican party will have
been so far accomplished that it can be
said to the world the United States hare
peace under L. s. Grant.
ReSOlred. That Gen. L. s. Grant, by his
! valor as a soldier, by his signal success as
general Of our armies, by his achieve
ment of victories which redeemed the coun-
/ try from the thraldOm Of terrible and
/ bloody war which threatened our liberties,
| by his able and unprejudiced administra-
/ tion of civil affairs when the country was
/ trembling throughout its length and breadth
from the suicidal policy of an apostate
! President, was entitled to the Presidency
of the United States for four years and re-
J ceved it and that his devotion to the in
'erests not only of the Republican party,
cut of the country at large his honest aud
! faithful collection of the public revenues
and prompt reduction of the national debt
able and economical administration of all
the executive functions of the Government,
entitle him to four years more. So many
good turns for the people deserve two good
turns from the people.
ReSolrcd, That under the leadership of
Grant and Wilson, Pennsylvania will do
her whole duty in the present campaign,
and give no uncertain sound in October as
to how the Union shall 90 in November.
Under such leadership we are safe, because
they have mo policy to enforce against the
will of the people"
ReSOlred, That our candidates are tried
and true, our party and its principles all
that could be desired, and we will fight it
out on this line and no other.
