Here's Richness.
We ct the same time invite public atten-
ton to the acts of the present Democratic
National and State administrations, the un-
Just war of the former upon Offensive par.
tizans;" to its hypocritcal avoidance OF
pledges touching the civil service; to its
star chamber proceedings against Repubh-
cans for whose removal no public reason
can be given, and to its constantly disloyal
preferences for the rebel elements OF the
Democratic party at the South and the
semirebel elements of the same party at
the North. Some attention 10 the
acts of the Democratic State
administration cannot be withheld In
view of its unjust, inexeusable and pain
fully frequent abuse of the veto power; its
studied prescription of the Union soldier
and denial of claims universally sanctioned
at the time of his enlistment; its want OF
character, breath and liberty, together with
a partisan basis carried to extremes not
dreamed Of by any of the better elements
which called it in power With the admin
istration the Republican party takes direct
issue and carries Its appeal to people dis
appointed in every reasonable expectation
and promise.
Blamed On the Democrats.
The Republican members of the Legislar.
! ture havin8 twice passed nppo<ticnment
(. bil]a more liberal to their political oppos
nents than the existing law, and the Demo
cratic members thereof having defeated the
first measure and Democrat Governor
having employed his veto power against the
second, the Republican members have prop
erly discharged their constitutional duty on
the premises. Their action is unequivocsl.
ly endorsed and the responsibility for
the failure of this legislation rests
with the Democratic party. We especially
command the action of the Republican
Legislature for that high regard which it
manifested toward our manufacturing min
ing, farming and general laboring interests
and its patriotic and successful efforts to
represent the interests Of the grand army of
soldiers, which Pennsylvania contributed to
the support Of the general government.
The yearniDg hearts Of Republicans OF
Pennsylvania 90 out with sincere affection
and sympathy with the old hero General
Grant in this hour of his sad affection.
They revere and love him for the great ser.
vice he has rendered his country and honor
him for his inevitable fate. Death may rob
us Of him, but he will live forever in the
hearts of his countrymen.
Eulogizing Longenrock.
TIE following resolution was added to
the platform:
To the Republicans of Pennsylvania:
This convention presents for State Treas
urer candidate who has won celebrity for
bravery in war and wisdom in peace, life
long, earnest, radical Republican, yet withal
so good and generous in his views and con.
duct that his every effort has been directed
to securing the unity and success Of the
party. His life record entities him to the
support of united party in the State which
prides itself not only in being the Keystone
State OF the Union, but tie centre OF that
political thought which best guards and pro.
notes American interests.
Another resolution was adopted that the
party fsvors repeal of unjust imit claim
respecting pensions.
The convention then adjourned sine die.
