The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1890-04-30
Next Republican Convention.

The meeting Of the Republican
State Committee in Philadelphia, on
Wednesday of last week, was a large.
ly attended and enthusiastic one.
Every county in the State was repre-.
sented Hon. G. A. Randall was pres.
ent from Forest. Wednesday, June
25lh, was the time fixed for the next
Republican State Convention, and
Harrisburg was selected as the place.
Among the other transactions the
Committee unanimously passed the
following resolutions amid great en-
thusiasm:
RcsoJred, That the thanks of the Re
publican State Committee are due to Hon.
W. II. Andrews for the faithful and skill
ful performance of his duties as chairman
and that this committee heartily congrat-
ulate him upon the result of the campaign
of 1889,
ReSolUed, That the State Committee of
Pennsylvania recognize the indecent con-
in the National House of Representa- tiyes,
yesterday, only as fuller development of
a plot upon the part of leading Democrats
to assail the public and private regulations
of the members of tho Republican Nation
al Committee. The selection of Senator
Quay as the most prominent object of this
conspiracy, the outrageous assaults upon
his character by leading Democratic pa
pers in New York city, and finally the act
of Tammany's chief representative in
spreading their scandalous publications
upon tine records of the House, calls for
the unqualified condemnation of all men
who have any regard for regulations and
character. The people of Pennsylvania
have twice passed upon these charges-in
1885, when, in the face of their presenta-
ton, they gave to Senator Quay, the can
didate for State Treasurer, the maximum
Republican majority, and subsequently,
after distinguished and honored services,
elected him to the United States Senate
with greater unanimity than ever before
accompanied the selection of any man for
that position. The extent of his offending
is that he has, as Chairman of the National
Committee, prevented a repetition of the
frauds, which in New York and Brooklyn
gave Cleveland false title to the Presi-
dency in 1884, and the future purpose of
the conspiracy is so plain that "he who
runs may read"
History is repeating itself in the hall Of
the National House, where partisan rancor
once before did palpable injustice to one
of the most distinguished sons of Penn
sylvania, in the person of General Cam
erOn.
The House subsequently expunged
record which was but evidence of its
former injustice, and while the record of
yesterday was made against its will, and
under the privilege of fire-eater from
Mississippi and a direct representative of
Tammany, we ask the Republicans of the
House to see that the character of the
National Chairman shall not long suffer
under this or any other form of assault
which these who have now stepped into
public view as partisan conspirators may
select.
That the State Committee conveys its
thanks to the newspapers of Pennsylva-
mia, which have, with one or two unwor-
thy exceptions, wholly discountenanced
the publications of the Democratic papers
of New York.
Next to the vote of the people given
twice with unprecedented heartiness in
answer to these charges our newspapers
reflect the public sentiment, and through
their refusal to encourage any of the
methods of this conspiracy, show the con-
tempt which all feel who are not chronic
jewellers in political and private scandals
