chairman of the committee on permanent or
ganization. Several motions to adjourn tenn

When the convention had been again called

tee permanent organization, reported list
of permanent officers, at the head of which WAS
the name of Mayor Stokely, of PHILADELPHIA.
Luclus Rogers, of Mclean county was nomin-
ated secretary, with fifty vice presidents and as
many assistant secretaries. The report was
unanimously adopted. Mayor Stokely being
asm, urged such conduct on the part of the
convention as would insure one of Pennsylva-
MAS old-fashioned Republican maiorities.
Mr.. Cessna, chairman of the committee on
resolutions, submitted the platform, stating
the committee had adopted them unanimously.
The resolutions We're follows:
THE PLATFORM.
The Republican party of Pennsylvania, adj
herring to its historical record and it's principles
heretofore often affirmed, declares that it is
uncompromisingfy opposed to free trade in
whatever disguise presented, and unchangingly
devoted to home industry, and hereby avows
Its special hostility to the tariff bill now pend
OF importers and foreign manufacturers and
in opposition to American labor.
Second-Ihat labor being the great source of
national wealth, the prosperity of the nation
must depend on the extent to which labor is
protected and employed, and that our govern
ment, being government of the people, should
endeavor to promote, by all proper means, the
commercial and industrial industries of the
nation that labor and capital may both be
proftably employed.
Third-American commerce should be fos-
tered, and home enterprise be helped by the
national government to the end that our man.
ufacturing, mining. agricultural and industrial
interests may flourish, and people find employ
ment and the country be restored to permanent
prosperity.
Fourth-The public lands belong to the
people, and should be reserved exclusively for
actual settlers, that Industries may be en-
couraged and aided to enter upon and occupy
them.
Fifth-That we are now, as ever opposed to
the payment of claims from the national
treasury to those lately engaged in, or sympa-
thizing with rebellion. No conqueror should
be forced to pay indemnity to the conquered
and the presentation of bills demanding over
three hundred million dollars at the present
session of the Democratic House is warning
to the country of the cost and danger of retain
ing in power party whose chief aim is to make
reprisals on the tax payers for losses whc!s the
crime of treason brought upon the Southern
people.
Sixth-That we view with alarm the growing
depression of many of the leading trade inter
ests of the State and country, resulting largely,
it is believed, from unfair advantages and dis
eliminating rates of freight and transportation
privileges given by many of the transportation
companies of the State and country to
| favored few. to the prejudice of general
producing interests, and this convention
earnestly recommends the enactment of such
,aiss sy the State and national legislatures as
will correct this grownG evll
Seventh-That Southern Republicans white
and eolored have our earliest sympathy In the
unequal contest to whi.a they are subjected
| for civil liberty and the maintenance of their
constitutional privileges and tat IN the inter
est of their guaranteed rights, wePeinand from
the general government for them an et,na ettnal and
fair ballot, and that equality before the law.
which should be the boast of every govern
ment.
/ Eighth-Resolped That the administration of
Gov. Hartranft meets the hearty endorsement
and unqualified approval of the party that
elected him, and continued to honor him. He
has proved himself able magistrate, true
patriot and wise officer and his party tenders
him the praise due to personal uprightness, to
political devotion and to Off cial rectitude.
/ The resolutions were unanimously adopted
| without debate. Those protesting against the
| payment of rebel claims, in favor of protective
tariff and eulogistic of Gov. Hartranft's admin
istration were loudly applauded.
