MIR. Burgess, of Franklin, moved that the

agreed to, not a dissenting voice being heard

| The Republicans of Pennsylvania in convention as
seDbed reaffm their unfaltering faith in the cardi
nal principles of the Republican party and will adhere
to them long as the contest between right dwong
continues. Beaten but not cast down in the late
presidential election, and advancing confidently to
| another struggle, they declare:
That the Republican party of Pennsylvania proclains
its advocacy of the repeal of the internal revenue taxes
except upon spurious and malt liquors. The
necessary for liberal support of the government
and the payment of pensions to disab ed soldiers
their widows and orphans, and of the principal and
interest of the public debt should be raised by
additional levy upon Imports and with view to lit
business from its present and to guard against future
depression we insist not only upon full protection
| to all home industries. but upon prompt revival
| of our commercial marine and promotion of
foreign commerce by proper discount of duties i'm
| posed on goods imported in American bottoms and
proper bounties to goods exported in American bot
| TOMS
The live issues of the present campaign are protec
ton to American industry not only through adequate
tariff laws, but such will efectuay stop the ipor
tation of foreign contract labor the establishment of
true system of civil service which will give
competent officers and yet not bind either the pot-
| ical thoughts action of American citizens, one
which will give fixed tenure of office, and remov-
al during the term of Office except for adequate public

of every voter within national boundaries freely
cast his ballot, and have the fairly counted at
elections and to give to each and every man. in what
ever section of the land he may dwell that equal and
| adequate protection before the law to which he is
justly entitled; the preservation of sound financial
| SYSTEM the maintenance of a currency worth 100
cents on the dollar at all times, and redeemabe in
ury from unwarranted, and especially from
| disloyal CLAIMS :he maintenance of the credit
of our government established by Republican
administration; just regard for commercial re-
| lations with foreign nations, and closer inter
| course with those the American continent; to
provide resolutely for the protection of American
national and industrial independence; maintain the
high standard of social condition which, in contrast
| to tho circumstances of other countries American
labor has thus far enjoyed; to continue the contest
with undiminished courage in behalf of develop
ment against the enormous influence of foreign CAPT
tai seeking possession of market to establish the
truth in the government of the country that the high
est duty of the Republic, not only to its people
thus to compel, by its example, the modification of
harsh systems and the political emancipation of other
peoples

general accords its most aggressive support
The Republican party, recognizing labor the
| basis on which the principle of government is
founded and believing the aboring should
ceive the fullest consideration in for their
education advancement and protection, has already
through its legislative aiority enacted laws further
ing the industries of the State, the interests of its
| mining population protecting honest labor against
the unwarranted competition of convict contract la
bor removing taxes from manufacturing corporations
thereby giving promise of remunerative employment

ers tending to the general good of those who toll We
condemn all contracts for the importation of foreign
labor tending to reduce to starvation the wages of
the laboring men of Pennsylvania and demand that
the existing laws against this shall be strictly en-
| forced.
We at the time invite public attention to the acts
of the present Democratic national administration:
to the unjust of the former upon Offensive parti-
sans to its hypocritcal avoidance of pledges touch
ing CIVIL service; StarcEamber proceedings
against Republicans for whose removal no public rea-
be given and to its constantly dsoya prefer

The yearning hearts of the Republicans of Pennsyl-
vania 60 out with sincere affection and sympathy with
the old hero General Grant in this hour of his sad
! affection. They and love him for the great
services he has rendered his country and honor him
for the noble manly forttude with which he faces his
inevitable fate Death may rob Of him. but he will
