| He believed that unless something was
done towards patching up the grievance
of the Independents the Democrats would
carry the state both on the legislative
as well as the state ticket. He
said that the charge that tie
nominations of this convention were
be met. He denied that it was so, but
yet the Independents made the charge and
it was believed in many places. He was
in favor Of new convention out and out.
1t was no sign of weakness on the part of
breeches in the party.
Samuel B. Huey, of PHILADELPHIA. spoke
also in favor of this resolution. He knew
that in Philadelphia the air was rife with
the Independent spirit, and the votes were
behind this spirit. He was in favor of
making offers Of conciliation to the Inde-
perdents, and if they were refused then
let the responsibility rest where it be-
longed.
r. B. Carnahan, Of Allegheny, thought
there was no principle upon which this
Independent movement was founded. A
body of men met in Philadelphia, he said,
without credentials and without cOnstitu-
ency and nominated ticket in opposition
to the Republican party. He was against
any effort to placate these disappointed
men. Delegates had come here to fill tho
vacancy on the ticket and then 90
home, and he moved that tho resolution
be laid on the table.
Congressman Fisher said that ut one
time he had thought that it would have
been we'll to put of the convention until
n later date, SO that delegates might have
been elected in the regular way instead of
being named by the county committee.
But hs had been told by Wharton Barker,
of Philadelphia, that even if the delegates
were so selected and Beaver nominated
that he (Barker) would not vote for him.
The majority CT the independents, he as
serted, were nothing but disappointed
persons. He was in favor of completing
the present ticket and he believed that the |
ticket would sweep the state.
Mr.. GilkensOn, of Bucks, thought that |
the revolt did not rest alone with the dis |
appointed Office seekers there were too |
many of them. In his section he found |
the revolt was among the business men of |
the district, and he found it widespread. |
He felt sure that new convention would |
renominate Gen. Beaver and Senator |
Davies.
Isaiah II. Brown, of Philadelphia,
thought that if 4 new convention would |
the same ticket there was 10
need of this trouble and expense Of hold.
ing it. He was not in favor of cOnciliat-
ing descrters and was very heartily ap-
plauded for his sentiments.
VIM. NJ. Bum, of Philadelphia, made q
Ten minute speech in opposition to the
resolution.
Mr.. Nesbit, Of Blair, Il colo.ed delegate,
favored some such plan as that suggested
BY Chairman Cooper-the plan of an ap-
peal of the Republican primaries to de-
eide between the two tickets.
Gen. McCleary. of Erie, then offered the
as substitute for the resolu-
ion:
"Resolued, That this convention pro-
iced to complete the ticket by tho nomi-
nation of a ongressman-at.la large; that we
the Republican state CON-
nittee to adopt all honorable means to
the Republican party so as to
secure success in November"
Another discussion followed ON the sub
making repeated calls for the
resolution were made. When delegate
from Crawford arose and the calls for the
question drowned his voice, he raised and
called out that if efforts to compromise
ind harmonize were choked off 1T would
ose the state to the party, and in Craw
ford county alone would cost the ticket
six or seven hundred votes.
Several delegates-'' Is that 4 threat ?"
The Crawford delegate replied that it
vas not !: threat, but it was the trouble
with those who sought to force their own
1iews that every warning, every honest,
sensible prediction of truth, was regarded
Is threat. AS Republican he was per-
'Onally bound to support the ticket he had
helped make applause ]. but at the same
line he felt it to be his duty to lay before
he meeting what he felt convinced was
he true feeling among the people of his
,wn county.
COL Norris, of Philadelphia, asked
whether on account of public clamor the
lelegates were to be asked to return and
;ay that their work was unfit to stand. It
vas all very we'll to say that there was
,uthing personal in the objection to the
ticket, but that was against the methods
,y which it was chosen. But those
Methods had elected tho party's governor
n this state and had elected Lincoln and
Grant and Hayes and Garfield. Zap

Mr.. Brosius, of Lancaster, thought that
good Republicans were first patriots will
ng to rclinquish any claim, willing to
AXE any step for the harmony and
unity that would lead the Republican
party to victory. He favored the PROPOSE
