HASTINGS SPEECH.
Pennsylvania is opposed TO Grover
Cleveland and to continuance OF his ad-
ministration. Her electoral vote will he
cast for the nominees Of this convention.
Pennsylvania has never faltered in her de.
yotion to Republican principles and Will
not falter now. Her metropolis was the
cradle of American liberty. and the he
publican party's birth and baptism were
both on Pennsylyania's soil. With her
the fundamental aud elementary princi-
ples of Re- ublicrnism have always been
held sacred to the charter of her heer-
ties and the memory of her dead soldiers.
| OF this her maiorities are proof, mSJorities
une qualled in the sisterhood oi States cast
for Lincoln, for GIANT, for Hayes lot
Garfield, and for her we'll De-
loved ron Jas. q. Blaine. Penn
sylyania comes to this convention
and with great unanimity asks you 70
name standard bearer who will represent
the principles, the traditions and the
brightest hopes and aspirations OF the Re.
publican party, mapiwhose name will
stand for its integrity, its doctrines and
its matchless history, man who Will ex !,
ecute the law and vIndicate the honor OF
the nation, whose very personality Will be
a sword in the hands OF honest freeman,
wherewith to drive from place and power
a party which holds the reins Of national
government by fortuitous circumstances
and against the true intent and honest
desire of majority of the nations sover.
eigus. This convention recognizes that
the campaign before us finds the common
enemy entrenched in the seat of national
power with the prestige Of victory, the
support of a solid sonth, the influence OF
public patronage and an increased appetite
for Office to give il argument. But
the country is tired Of the shows, double
dealing and mediocrity. We have seen a
Chief Executive who proclaimed his belief
that the Presidential office should be lin
tied to a single term eagerly clutchipg AT
the nomination for a second. His prom
ised reforms of the civil service have result
ed in the prostitution Of his great office for
the narrowest of partisan purposes. FRO
feesing sympathy for the welfare oil wage
elrners and established industries, be has
forced upon his party policy which, II
successful, would be ruinOus alike to both.
Forbidding political activity in his subor-
dinates he has allowed them everywhere to
use the public service for the advancement
of his own personal sggrandisement. lie
has inaugurated and fostered diplomatic
,licy hostile 10 the interests and dignity
Of the American people.
YES, WE ALL KNOW ICIcLE JOHN.
He whom shall nominate to you needs
no introduction, his career, his character,
his manhood and his illustrious achieve
men,s are part Of the nations history,
The people know him by heart. They
whom represent and who ask his nomi'
nation at your hands, point You to grand
career, beginning with those first days OF
Sumter, until anotherl Sherman MARCHED
from Atlanta TO the sea, and peace came
on golden wings; war and finance com
prise much of the history of nations. A
!, people who gave million soldiers TO the
Republic, found the man TO sustain them
sad their country's credit. In the darkes,
hour our financial policy was a. victorious
as our armies. Its inspiration responding
to every need Of war, proved equal to
every demand of patriotism, until at la'i
hand in hand, peace and prosperity, twlr
children of liberty, Rladened the hearts o.
reunited people. The statesmanship O
resumption, his crowning success, untqu
, allied in any time or country, has placed BIZ
name upon the lips af gratitude through
out the land. Do you want this record.
