in order, Major Merrick said he desired to b

Doane nominated Senator John Stewart. Hon

For lieutenant governor, Levi Bird DUH,
Allegheny; secretary OF internal affairs, MsJo
| Merrick, of Toga; for congressman at large
Col. VIM. McMichael; for judge OF the su

Senator Stewart, nominee for governor, be
| ing called upon, said he accepted the nomlna
| ton. The movement in which he and thos
before him were interested was not what it
adversaries termed it, but was an homes
movement, in public way, for public ends
and public approval. Philadelphia woui'
have been poor place in which to inaugural
| anything else. This may be rebellion n
said, but you know the difference. L
has this difference, that it is revolution
| and what better place than Philadelphia coule
have been chosen for such revolution. The
Republican party had high stake. The pres
ent at least is secure. What concerns us II
the future. What high principles is the party
now expected to represent and advocate! ASH
the people who assembled a few weeks ago at
Harrisburg. The high questions and prlncl'
pies in which the Republican party is inter.
ested in were met there only to be Knocked
and jeered at by those who would send the
party on mission not of principle, but OF
spoils. We want the party to control. The
honest conviction of the Republicans
of Pennsylvania have not found expression in
any real convention in the last decade. 1t is
from the control OF her taskmasters
that we would deliver her. They tell us this
movement will imperil the life of the Repub-
lican party. do not believe it. The Republic
can party was III peril until you came to the
rescue. AS for myself 1 would say that If
that noble party must die, had rather see her
last hours made glorious by struggle to
redeem her than to see her expire IN race Tor
spoils. repeat, accept your nomination
and return thanks for the honor.
A resolution calling upon the legislature to
submit to the popular vote proposed amend
ment to the state constitution prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors within the commonwealth, was adopt
ed by large majority.
The finance committee was appointed, with
Charles Wheeler, of Philadelphia, chairman.
A resolution, directing the state committee
to prepare a rule that WIN give effect to the
resolution in the platform giving representa-
tlon according to the Republican vote, and
that rule be operative at the next convention,
was adopted. A motion, eDjoining the state
convention to fill any vacancies that may oc-
cur on the ticket, was adopted, together with
one constituting Mckee, chairman, and Leach,
secretary, of the new state committee.
Col. Duff, of Pittsburg, the nominee for
lieutant governor, said he would accept it. He
regarded the convention as that of the Repub-
lican party. By a blunder made at Chicago,
in giving the minority vote the presdencncy
and the accident of Garfeld's death, the
minority had obtained the power of the gov
eminent and that faction is using that power
for its own purposes. The speaker intended to
stay with the party and had no doubt which
is the party.
Merrick Wolfe and Mahon followed.
Adjourned sine die.
