MR. BRUMMs SPEECH.
Representatives of the Repub lean party
/ don't know when the sun of Repubicanisn
ever shown brighter especially in Schuylkil
county, than this morning. We have all
taken the inspiration of the great General
and statesman, Grant, when he said, 'let us
have peace" (cheers) We have come here
with that Inspiration and with the determin-
alton to have that peace. There never has
been time when good men and honest
principles were demanded at the 'front.' there
never has been a time when the clouds hung
so low or clouds looked so black over the
country since Lincoln was elected the first
time. Starvation, despair and gloom then
hung over our country. Even the destruc.
tiOn of our country stared us in the face.
Then the lines were drawn between the
North and the South; now the line appears
to be drawn horizontally. Now the lines are
drawn with the Bourbons, of New York, and
the Anarchists, of Chicago, arrayed against
the country
The speaker reviewed the action of the
Democratic party of that day when the Su.
preme Court declared the draft unconstitu
| tiOnal. History is repeating itself; now Hoke
Smith declares every pensioned soldi
scOundrel and villain until he proves him
self innocent"
He referred to Blount at Hawaii trailing
the American flag in the dust. "HistOry is re
peating itself; when Rome was burning Ner
was fddling; while our country is suffering
destruction Grover Cleveland is not fiddling,
but he goes fishing" prolonged cheers.)
The next day it snOwed,' yes, and cold
chill has pervaded the business ever since"
He attributed the cause of the present bust
ness stagnation TO the apprehension caused by
declining market caused by the threatened
execution of the tariff reform advocated by
| the Democratic platform. He closed by ad
mOnishing the party to pay very little atten.
tiOn to personalities but to put ticket in the
field which hope and believe we may elect
| next fall"
After the selection of vice presidents and
the committees on contested seats and resolu-
tions, and an Intellectual attempt to adjourn,
the convention proceeded to consider the new
rules.
The several az endmeDts and new rules as
heretofore printed in the HERALD were taken
up and adopted seriatum with the following
exceptions: Rule 3. Basis of Repres antation
was rejected and the old rule continued. New
rule convention expenses will read as follows :
"All the expense of each and every conven-
ton shall be borne by the candidates who
submit their names for nomination, and So
shall be collected from each candidate pre-.
yious to the taking Of the ballot for the office
for which he is a candidate"
The rules, as revised, went into effect imme-
diately upon the adjournment of the conven-
| tion.
After deciding that the Controller be nomi.
mated Immediately after the naming of a
Judge, the convention adjourned and at 2;l5
p. m. reconvened, after recess of 40 min
utes, and listened to reports of committees,
which brought up the argument for and
against leaving the ticket without nominee
for Judge, which resulted in an over ghelming
decision in favor of a nomination.
