THE Democratic State Convention
which met at Harrisburg on the 2Sth ul
timo did its work most nobly. A bet
ter or stronger ticket never was present
ed to the people of Pennsylvania for
her suffrages. Pattison, of Philadel-
phia, for Governor; Black, of Y YOrk, for
Lieutenant Governor; Clark, of Indi-
ana, for Supreme Judge; Africa, of
Huntingdon, for Secretary Of Internal
Affairs, and Elliott, of Tioga, for Con-
greseman-at- Large, present a combina-
ton of personal and collective strength
such as is seldom the good fortune of
any bolitical convention to nominate.
The race for Governor was very close
between Hopkins and Pattison-the
Former leading off up to the sixth bal
lot when fortunately Pattison was NOM
mated. We say fortunat ely, for Patti
son will plove Dluch stronger candi-
date than any other man that could
haYe been named.
The other candidates are most excel
lent and worthy men,-every one or
them. They have all given ampleIproof
of their fitness for the several positions
for which they are selected. Not one
of them is boss or ring-master, but
all enjoy the respect and confidence of
the people for eminent abilities and the
sterling qualities Of honesty and integ-
rity.
The convention itself was composed
of the best material in the party-men
who thoroughly understand the situa-
tion, the demands, the dangers and
hopes of the present, instead of burrow-
ing for political glory in the dead and
buried past. There were no bosses to
dictate nominations, no sectional or
personal ambition to satisfy. All work
ed together for the common good.
With thorough organization and eff
fective work, the entire ticket will be
triumphantly elected.

ears. None OK the candidates have
"bar'l." They are what may be called
men in conf ortable circumstances.
Clark is worth about $50, 900, enjoys a
good law practice, and Western Penn
sylvania swears by him. Pattison has
saved the big end of his four years sal
AIRY as controller, and has windfall OF
$50, 1000, and, for young man who has
been blessed by fortitous occurrences is
able to live easily without indulging in
extravangances. Chauncey Black gains
a livelih Cd by that rather precarious
instrument, the pen, and lacks money.
j. Simpson Africa has good business
as civil engineer, but is not counted
las in more than moderately circum-
stances, aud Elliott is moderate well
off. Three of the candidates are each
nearly six feet in height. Africa is Of
medium height, and the congressman
at-large is about five feet Rve inches.

Merrick, the one legged candidate of
the Independents for secretary of inter-

lawyers, Africa being the exception,
although Chauncey Black early for
so ok the practice of the law for what
was to him the more pleasant pursuits
of literature. This, therefore, makes
fourteen o. the bar out of fifteen candi-
dates before the people on the three
tickets. Pattison is temperate man,
although not radical upon the subject
The candidates are young men in the
limited acceptance of the term. Patti.
son is 81 years of age; Elliott, 80;
Black, AZ; Africa, 40; and Clark, So.
Three of the FIVE can make good stump
speeches, and only one, Pattison, has
held any office of account. Africa was

THE EXECUTION.
The Assassin's Last Words.

The Assassin s Last Words.
When Guiteau came out into the ro-
tunda from his cell, he looked calm and
composed but very pale. His arms
were pinioned behind him and he held
his head erect. He gazed upon the
crowd without tlinching. He wore
black suit Of clothes, and instead of
collar, had handkerchief thrown loose
ly about his neck. These who expect
ed "Sickening and distressing scenes"
we're disappointed. Guiteau walked
firmly through the rotunda and the
court. lie stumbled on one of the steps
leading up to the scaffold, but recover
cd himself Immediately. When he be-
gan to read, his voice was loud and
firm. lie gave the words now and
then sort of singing infection like
preacher reading hymn.
The attendants then pinioned his
legs, placed the moose over his head
and carefully adjusted it about his
neck. Mr.. Strong placed the black
cap over his head, and as he did 50
Guiteau called out in loud tones:
"Glory, glory, glory :" Instantly the
spring was touched, the drop fell, and
at twenty minutes to one Guiteau
swung iG the air. The body turned a.
round, but there was not the slightest
perceptible movement'of the limbs or
any evidence of a conscious effort to
move them. When the drop fell yell
was sent up by some person inside the
Jail. This was echoed outside by the
voices of thousand or more people,
who hurrahed Justify. There was a
general onslaught by the populace upon
the door which was so powerful that
the officers were unable'to withstand it.
Hundreds of the people crowded into
the office, and there was a terrible
crush at the doors. For at least
forty seconds after the drop fell the
body hung motionless; then there was
slight motion of the shoulders and
legs, due to muscular contraction.
Three minutes after the drop fell the
body was lowered to. be examined by
the physicians. There was a decided
action of the heart fully fourteen min
utes and the pulse huttered two min
utes longer. When the body had hung
with the feet just touching the ground
for over half an hour, it was lowered
into the coffin, which was waiting for
it under the scaffOld. The physicians
decided at once that the neck had been
bro ken. When the body was lowered
the black cap was removed and the
face exposed. The features were pallid
and composed. About the mouth there
was considerable moisture. After the
body had been arranged in the coffin
Warden Crocker assembled the steps Of
the scaffold and addressing the crowd
which was kept back frOm'the scaff0Id
by line of officers, said, "Those who
desired could pass along the side of the
scaffold and view the body"

THE PLATFORM.
Strong Protest Against Bossism
and the SpOils System.

The Democratic party of Pennsylvania, hold
lug fast to the faith that all power not dele
gated by the Constitution Is reserved TO the
States and the people, upholding the Sanetity
OF personal liberty, the security of private
property and the right of local selt-government
demanding honesty and economy in the ad-
minStration of the government and the en-
| forcement of all the provisions Of the Constltu-
/ tion by the Legislature and the courts OF the
| Commonwealth, declaring against monopoieS
| and in sympathy with labor seeking its protec-
ton. and in favor ofthe industrial interests Of
| PENNSYLVANIA, at this time do Solemniy protest
against evils which the policy anu pracuces OF OF
| the Republican party and the inSolence ot lis
| long possession OF Office have thus brought up
on the country therefore.
FnasT. We do protest against what Is called
| the Boss system and also tho plunderlng OF
itical purposes. Public Offices ara the property
of no party, butare open To every cltlLen, non
est, capable and faithful to the Constitution,
qualincatio onS which Jefferson declared were
the requisites for office.
SECOND. We protest against the spoils system
1t is prostitution of the offices OF the people so
| that they become the mere perqusiteS of the
politicians.
THIRD. We denounce all reputation, State
and Federal, because IL is dishonest and dc
structive of that public morality upon which
are founded the existence and perpetuity OF our
! free institutions Ii should be made odions,
and the politician that aids 1t and abets 1t with
office deserves public condemnation
FOURTH. We denounce Spollatlon or the State
Treasury and immunity by pardon OF those con
Yicted of crimes whose acts are fagrant super
visions % official trusts and wrongs done the
people.
FHTH...We believe the Republican party, as now
organized and controlled, is based on fraud
force and corruption. and there can be no hope
OF true reform except by the force of the ballot
box excluding il from place and power.
SIXTH. The Democratic party demands OF the
Legis ature an honest, just and true aportiOn-
ment
SEVENTH Upon these declarations we invite
the cooperation OF all honest citizens who, with
nc laair ra ha re-nS a n IL upV
ernment.
