lin moved the nomination be made unani-
nous, and it was agreed to, not dissenting

for state treasurer on the first ballot. The
committee on resolutions reported as fol-
lows, and the report was adopted: We,
Republicans of Pennsylvania in conven-
ton assembled, reaffirm their unaltering
faith in the cardinal principles of the
Republican party, and will adhere to them
as long as the contest between right and
wrong continues. Beaten, but not cast
down in the late presidential election, and
advancing confidently to another struggle,
they declare: The Republican party of
pennsylvania proclaims its advocacy of the
repeal of the internal revenue taxes, except
upon spirituous and malt liquors. The rev.
enueS necessary for a liberal support of the
government and the payment of pensions

THE PUBLIC DEBT
should be raised by an additional levy upon
imports, and, with view to lift business
from its present and guard it against future
depression, we insist not only ON full pro-
lection to all home industries, but upon a
prompt revival of our commercial marine
and promotion of foreign commerce by the
proper discount of duties on imported goods
imported in American bottoms and proper
bottoms. The live issues of the
present campaign, with protection
to American industry, not only through
adequate traffic laws but such as
will etfectually stop the importatiOns of
foreign contract labor; the establishment of
true system of civil service, one which
will give competent officers and not bind
either the political thoughts or actions of
American citizens, one which will give a
liked tenure of office and no removal during
the term of office except for adequate pub
lie cause; the necessity for the enforcement
OF the right of every voter within our ma
tional boundaries to freely cast his ballot
and have the same fairly counted at cleo
tiOns and to give to each and every man, in
whatever sections of land he may dwell, that
equal and
ADEQUATE PROTECTION
before the law to which he is Justly en-
titled; the preservation of a sound financial
system; the maintenance of a currency
worth 100 cents on the dollar at all times
redeemable in coin; the protection of the
national treasury from unwarranted and
especially from dislOyal claims; the MAIN
tenance of the credit of our government as
established by Republican administrations;
just regard for our commercial relations
with foreign nations and closer inter-
course with those ON the American conti-
nent; to provide reSolutely for the protec-
ton of American national and Industrial
independence; to maintain the standard
of social condition which, in Difference to
the circumstances of other countries,
American labor has thus far enjoyed;
to continue the contest with undiminished
courage in behalf of our own development
against the enormous influences of foreign
capital seeking possession of our market; to
establish the truth ON the government of
the country that the highest duty of the
republic, not only to its own people, but to
others, to preserve to its prosperous exist
ence thus to compel, by its example, the
modification of harsh systems and the
political emancipation of other peoples: to
all of these general issues the Republican
party of Pennsylvania, and we believe of
the nation in general, accords its most
aggressive support.
ADMINISTRATION ARRAIGNED.
We at the same time invite public atten-
ton to the acts of the present Democratic
national administration, to the unjust war
-
ieal avoidance of pledges touching the civil
service, to its star chamber proceedings
against Republicans, for whose removal no
public reason can be given, and to its con-
stantly diSlOyal preference for the rebel ele-
ments of the Democratic party at the South
and the same rebel elements of the same
party at the North.
The yearning hearts of the Republicans
of Pennsylvania go out with sincere affec-
ton and sympathy with the old hero, Gen.
Grant, in this hour of his sad affliction.
They revere and love him for the great
services he has rendered his country and
honor him for his noble, manly fortitude
with which he faces his inevitable fate.
Death may rob us of him, but he will live
forever in the hearts of his countrymen.
The following resolution was added TO
the platform: To the Republicans of Penn
sylvania: This convention presents for
state treasurer a candidate who has won
celebrity for bravery in war and wisdom in
peace, lifelong earnest radical Republi-
can, yet so good and generous in his views
and conduct that his every effort has been
directed to securing the unity and success
of the party. This life record en-
titles him to the support of
united party in state which prides
itself not only in being the keystone of the
Union, but the center of that political
thought which best guards and promotes
was also adopted that the party favOrs the
repeal of the unjust limit claim respecting
pensions. The convention then adjourned
sine die.
