gates ut large to the nat iunal convention, q
candidate tor supreme judge, aud two cleo
tors at large. The convention met In the
opera house a. III O'Clock this morning.
Samuel II. Miller WAS ,eectcd tem porary
chairman. He congratulated the conven-
tion upon the haraiony which prevails
an,ong the republicans of the state, and
said Throughout the country the outlook
is cheering aud hopsiul. BY yirtnre Of wise
republican party, our manufacturing and
other ind ustries are
FAIRLY PROSPEROUS,
unsuccessful attacks made upon then, by
| every dehocratin congress. 1 evttal q,es-
ton OF to-day is, shall the American
doctrite If the protection OF the markets
for American manufactures be revised, or
| shall the democratic party be permitted to
| hinder, cripple and oyertiirn all this Shall
our people march forward, or shall they
J beat a retreat at the call OF the democratic
| ways and means committees, moved by the
| power and patronage OF u democratic ex-
ecutive? Shall tho next president favor
| the policy OF O Cleveland or of Blsinep
| AS Pennsy lvanians, we are directly inter.
ested In the success OF the republican party
| in the nation. A national industrial pol
icy that would cripple or hinder TIE de.
velopment oi our manufacturing interests
would be felt more severely by the people
OF eur state thnn by our fellow countrynien
| in those sections that have not directly been
affected by the growth and prosperity
which naturally results from our great in
terests. 1T is of the utmost Importance
that Pennsy lvania republicans shou take
| u deep interest in matters that are calcu-
lated to extend the strength and solidify
republican theories, policies and princi-
pies in every part of the union. Isit not
an object worthy of our best efforts to
build up the republican party in
THE SOUTHERN STATES,
In which the confederates can Join heartily,
! and which will make the states of the south
as debatable on the eve OF presidential
election, a. are the states Of the north, east
or west. Can we accomplish this
BY KEEPING ALIVE ANIMosIrIEs
Of the war. by causeless and useless discus
sions about "a ptured hattie flags; by keep
ing a Chronological record Of that class Of
citizens den ominated southern briRadiers,"
because they are honored by the people Of
the south with positions of honor, trust and
profit2 Is it not time all this should close
and that distinguished representatives Of
our party whether in or out of state,
should know that the path to preferment
in every state leads by and through more
fruitful political fields. II the republican
party is to have an equal chance to triumph
in the nation, we must divide the SOUTH
The two Virginias. Tennessee, North Caro-.
lima, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana
should be as debatable as is New York.
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, and
they would be II We would once convince
the people of these states that their local
and home interests were as safe under
republican as under a democratic admins
tration. We have given occasion in the
past to democratic demagogues to teach

Miller's
REFERENCE TO BLAINE
was greeted with loud and long continued
cheers. The convention then proceeded to
elect minor officers and to appoint commit
tees. The platform submitted to the con-
vention demanded that congress enact such
laws as shall secure fair elections for mem
bers of congress and the electoral college
denouncing the presidents message, and
the
WOOL CLAUSE
OF Mills tariff bill. Demands the pass
age of just and comprehensive pension
bill; condemns the action of the democrats
in the house in refusing to pas the direct
tax bill declares in favor OF civil service re-
form pledges the republican party OF the
state TO bniit the question OF prohibition
to vote OF the people, and endorsed the
state administration.
The platform further arraigns the demo-
cratic administration for allowing the ac-
emulation of the large surplus which
should have been appropriated for great
and necessary public improvements de.
clares excessive revenues can, and should
be prevented by a reduction or repeal OF
the internal tax, protests earnestly against
the passage VI the Dunn tree ship bill as
ca lculated to work injustice to American
labor. Judge Mitchell was nominated for
supreme judge, Thomas Dolan, of Phila-
deiphia, aud Lewis Pugh, OF Lackawanna,
were chosen as candidates for presidential
ele ctors at large, and Senators Quay. Daniel
H. Hastings, Nelson p. Reede and Henry
w. Oliver, delegates at arge TO the nation
al OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES The most re-
markabe {. .ature in connection with the
convention was the fact Of the complete
abordance OF the presidential question,
either by intimation or direct declaration,
the four delegates at large are as dumb up
on the question of presidential preference
as was the convention.
