EARNEST WORK EXPECTED.
This coming campaign will demand the best WORK
of the Republican party. II is the universal senti-
ment that vigorous action must be had. Inns
ticket Is considered q strong one. Coionei
Hoyt will command q united support. Ills speech
at the close Of the Convention was modest ana
statesmanlike. 1t dispensed with the customary
bupeombeD and reached down to the industrial
md social needs of the state in calm
and judicial manner. Ii elected, his adj
ministraiion viii undoubtedly be conspicuous
for its moderation and sincerity. In the course of
his speech no said
Mr.. HOYTs SPEECH.
As ] apprehend the situation, the Republican
party embodies the vital and efficient forces OF so
ciety. We are q progressive party, not reaction
airy one; and the tendencies of Republican
principles are towards true CHRISTIAN
civilization, and, as q result, National prosperity
We insist as we have always insisted, upon thai
system of revenue which viii save to Pennsylvania
the wealth of her citizens invested III hef
mines her oil-feld her furnaces, her manufacturers,
her farms, and all the industries and Ia
Dor interaced with ard dependent upon their
prosperity Pennsylvania Republicans are for pro-
tectye tariff. In the present depressed condition OF
affairs, while we counsel patience, economy ana
resolute hope in the future, we deprecate the
useless agitation of questions leading to no practi-
cal resulis-an agitation which keeps our people in
q state II uncasiness and unrest, and prevents
their return to united and cheerful effort TO extri-
cate themselves from the common distress. Our
relief will come not mainly through Legislatures
and Congress, but through the normal action
OF our civilization, as developed and Illus
trated in our workshops. our farms, our
churches and our schOol-hOuses. To serious
and Thought full man, 1t wOuld seem to be as lmpos-
sible to inaugurate true prosperity by artificial
schemes as to construct by the devices of the nur-
seryman the gigantic forest of oaks which cover
our hills. In my Judgment the remedy will
come ultimately and only from the persistent
common sense and common action of intelligent
communities supplemented by and III cooperation
with wise system of National measures fostering
and developing the profitable employment Of the
Nations capital, labor and resources"
