That we most heartily endorse the candid
ates nominated by the National and State
conventions and we hereby pledge our
earnest and loyal adherence to the principles
of the party as set forth in the plat
forms both state and national. ResOlUed,
That we recognize the good and benefcent
effect of the Mckinley law as shown by the
great increase in the business of the country,
the prosperity of all its citizens, the increase
of the wages of the laborer and we pledge
ourselves to stand unhinchingly by the
principles of tariff protection and reciprOc-
ity as set forth in the Mckinley law.
ResOIUed, That we most earnestly con-
denm the present state administration fol
its shameless disregard of the constitution
and the rights of the people, through the so
called Miner law and the outrageous gerry
manders of the state whereby large mum
Der of our citizens were practically disfran
chised.

Riggin was natural born sailor and
man-of- warsman. His certificate of con-
tinuous service shows that enlistment af-
ter enlistment followed his entry into
the service just as rapidly as one after an
other his terms Of enlistment ended in an
honorable discharge. The certificate also
shows that Higgins record was excep-
tionally good; in short he may be re-
garded to have been model sailor.
So constantly was Riggin at sea tiat he
was very little known in Philadelphia
where he lived when ashore with his hall
brother, John /. Riggin, at No. 2,914 Mas.
ter street. One of his sisters, Mrs. Ella
Matthews, resides at No. 4,519 Hooper
street, West Philadelphia, and the other
at Oxford Church, Pa.
All three relatives made application to
the Navy Department for Higgins effects
and for balance due him. His undrawp
pay amounted to S96.72. 1t would seem
from the records that all three heirs were
recognized, although there is some fric-
tion between the sisters and the hall
brother. They were each paid S3224 on
the 18th inst. John, the half brother, has
retained ex-Attorney General ker, OF
Philadelphia, to press the indemnity claim
for his brothers deaf against the Chilian
government. The amount has not been
decided upon.
Riggin left medal Of merit which he
earned on the flagship Tennessee. IL was
presented to him on February 10, 1887, for
fidelity, zeal and obedience" Such was
one of the American seamen who fell vic.
tim to the Chilian mob.
