Ex- Gavernorss Davis is making a faithful can

cock, the Democratic nominee was in Europe
when chosen by the convention, and is now
OH his way to Texas TO enter upon joint can
vass with Governor DAVIS. Hancock was a
hard pill tor the Democracy to swallow. He
has been recognized as outside the pale of
that parry, with strong leaning to Republic
anism for years past. Possibly, the immense
land interests he has in litigation, and the
fact that juries are generolly composed of
Democrats in Texas, may have induced man
as shrewd as him to remain within the folds
of the party for self-interest, if not for pure
love Of Democratic principles? Until he
ar ives, we can not say with what eagerness he
meantime Governor Davis is educating the vo-
tiers up to his high standard of purity and pol
itical morality. 1t formerly afforded the dem
ocratic press intense pleasure to malign ex-
Governor Davis. Lately they have changed
their tactics, and admit his sterling honesty
and uncompromising love of principle, bu,
sheer at his government, and level their ma
Lightly against the officers under him. When
ever Governor Davis speaks, these poison
darts are rendered harmless by the antidote Of
truth which he utters. but there are people who
would believe anything spoken Of written
againh Republican, however baseless, even
though such belief was In direct conflict with
their senses. Governor Davis will leave Han

DEFEAT OF MAJ. BROWN.

The one thing more regretted than
all others is the failure by the State
Convention to nominate Adam M .
Brown for Judge of the Supreme
Court. The popular expression was
for him, and should have been obeyed.
This was not only on account of his
merits as man AMI lawyer, but
was also an ardent desire on the part
of the people that the candidate for
that Office, at the present time, should
be one who, if elected, would favor the
resembling of that unjust order by which
all appeals to the Supreme Court
must be taken to and heard away in
Philadelphia. Mr.. Rawle, the success
ful candidate, is respectable man and
a competent lawyer, but we can have
no hope from him that the outrageous
order will be stricken off, As be re-
sides in Philadelphia there cannot be
any reasonable hope in that direction.
With our people generally we there
fore deeply regret the loss of Maj.
Brown to the State ticket. If the con-
vention had been let alone, and there
had been no betrayals through the use
of patronage, or the hope thereof, Maj.
Brown would have been successful.
As it is, he and his friends will sub
init, trusting to fairer play hereafter.

THE PLATFDRs!

HARRISBURG, May l0.-Thc COM
mittee on resolutions presented the
following platform and resolutions,
which were adopted without discussion
or comment of any kind, except that
those resolutions which were inserted
as reform sentiments elected a great
deal of interest from the delegates
generally:
The Republican party of the State
of Pennsylvania, in convention assem-
bled, do affirm the principles OF justice,
equal rights, honesty and economy in
the national and State administration
upou which the party was founded
and upon which it has so long and
continuously triumphed, and does
hereby resolve that it has always been
the aim and purpose of the Republican
party to carefully guard the interest Of
the laboring classes by all suitable
Legislation, and to that end the pro-
lection Of American industry, by advo-
cacy of the continuance of proper and
judicious tariff, is enjoined upon our Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress.

BEAYER FOR GOYERNOR.

The nomination, by acclamation, in
the State Convention of General Bea-
yer for Governor was fitting and right,
and will be approved by the people.
The party demanded it. No bosses
brought it about and no bosses could
have prevented it. If any still have a
single doubt as to General Beavers
opinions let them read his speech made
to the Convention after his nomina-
tion. His remarks will be found in
another place of this paper. He has
made no pledges and is under obliga-
tions to none but the great mass of the
party. Upon his own merits and claims
he has succeeded and is before the pee
pie. The idea Of such a man being, or
becoming subject to the control Of cor
rupt men after his election, must lie
dismissed from the minds of all lair
men. That he will be elected does
not admit of doubt

THE TICK EFT.

GENERAL JAMES A. BEAVER,
of Centre county, the nominee for
Governor, has been prominently before
the public for some months past, and a
sketch of his brilliant political and
military career was published in the
Commercial Gazette not long ago, of
which it is only necessary to recapit-
ulate the leading points He was
born at Millerstown, Perry county, Pa,
October 81, 1887. His father died
when he was only 3 years of age, and
he was brought up by his: grandfather,
who lived in Mifllin county He was
graduated at Jefferson College when 10
years of age with honor, and then set
tied at Bellefonte, Centre county,
where be how lives. and entered the
legal profession. Upon the breaking
out of the rebellion Beaver entered the
service as Captain Of Company II,
Second Pennsylvania Infantry, and
served as such during the three months
campaign. He entered the three years
service as Lieutenant Colonel of the
Forty-ffth Pennsylvania Infantry. He
resigned his command on September
4, 1862, to take command of the One
Hundred and Forty-eighth Regiment
recruited in Centre county He was
shot through the body at Chancellors-
Vile and his wound was supposed to
be fatal, but he was sent to Harrisburg
and recovered. Before rejoining his
regiment he organized and sent to the
field the emergency men from Camp
Curtin who participated in the battle
of Gettysburg. He distinguished him
self at Auburn Hill and Bristow Sta
tion. At Cold Harbor he was wound

THE STATE CONTENTION

Another Republican State Conven-
tion has come and gone. In some re-
spects it was an interesting one and
differed widely from former ones
While apparently still under the con-
troll of Senator Cameron, yet the pro-
ceedings show that much Of his con-
troll has gone. Of the ticket nomina-
ted, the majority Of the names upon it
are those of men who have not hereto
fore trained with him, but have been
against him This is favorable sign.
1t shows his power to be waning,
when he is driven to the necessity of
casting about among his opponents for
acceptable candidates.
The ticket as q whole is composed
of good men and is strong one-and
will be elected
The recommendations of the late
conference committees, as to the future
government of the party in the State,
were all accepted and adopted by the
Convention, with one single exception.
But this was an important one and we
regret it was not also accepted. We
refer to that part of the rule proposed
which provided "that the representa-
tlon of each county in the State Con-
ventions shall hereafter be based up
on its Republican vote" This part is
omitted by the Convention, for what
reason we do not know Most cer-
tainly it was a reform needed and
would be both just and right. AS il
is, Democratic counties will continue
to have more power in our State Con-
ventions than they are fairly entitled
to. We republish the new rules, as
the party will be governed by them
| in the future in the matter of sending
delegates to the State Conventions
etc. This is now put into the hands
OF the people,
There will be difference of opinion
as to some Of the other resolutions
passed by the Convention, particularly
the one endorsing the Administration
of President Arthur. But all know
how easily it is to pass resolutions AND
ofwhat little value or meaning they OF
ten are. Taken as whole the pro-
ceedings of this Convention are an i'm
provement upon ones of late years
and everything Is encouraging to the
people of the Republican party to con
tinue their efforts towards throwing of
the boss rule or one man power that
| has too long existed.

a capital stroke and well executed
breaking of the slate programme at the
State Convention. While in some re-

is the one to be sent to Congress at
