The convention opened at IL Is a. m. with
over go delegates present. Ex-Congress-
man Theodore l.. Flood was permanent
chairman. The following platform was
adopted:
''The Republicans OF Pennsylvania, in con-
vention assembled. repeat, for the regula-
the following principles of finance, which
were announced by us at our last State
convention. and which since then have re-
ceived the overwhelming approval or our
fellow-citizens: We favor the expansion OF
the circulating medium of the country until
the same shall amount to $40 per capita of
our population, and approve the PROPOSE
ton 10 issue national bank notes to the
par value OF the amount OF bonds deposited
10 secure their circulation. We declare
that he obligations of the government
should be discharged in money approved
and current in. all civilized nations. TO the
END that largely increased reserve of gold
tained.
I'VE declare our belief to be that no legis-
lation can make our currency meet the de-
mands and needs of the American people
unless IL conforms TO the following utter
ance or our last national convention: The
American people. from tradition and inter-
est. favor bimetallism, and the Republican
party demands the of both gold and
silver as standard money, with such
strictions and under such provisions to be
determined by Legislation will secure
and maintain the PARITY of values Of the
two metals so that the purchasing and debt
paying power Of a dollar, whether of silver,
gold or paper. shall be at all times equal
try, its farmers and its workingmen. de-
mand that every dollar, paper or coin, is
sued by the government shall be as good
The threats and efforts which the Demo-
cratic party, now in control of the executive
and legislative departments of the national
government, are making TO destroy the sys-
tenn of protection TO American industries
have wrecked our manufacturing establish
ments. DESTROYED the value of our farm
our workingmen and brought distrust upon
the honesty of their proposed legislation.
We denounce this Democratic assault
upon the American protective system be-
cause its effect already has been to reduce
TO idleness two millions OF workmen and
values 10 an amount greater than the ma.
tional debt created for the suppression OF
the rebellion; because il enlarges the free
list only upon products which employ the
greatest number of American workmen:
because it strikes with equal cruelty the
farmer, the miner, the lumberman, the
iron, the glass and the textile worker;
because il transfers work from our own
mills, mines and workshops TO foreign coun-
tries; because !. is sectional and aimed d.
rectly at Northern industries. and fosters
the plantation system and destroys the
farm; because II Is vicious in Its changes
from specific to ad valoren duties In its
reduction OF the revenues of government by
many millions of dollars. and 1t resorts to
war taxes and increased internal and direct
taxes 10 make UP the deficiency it needless
iy creates.
I'VE commend and approve the efforts
OF our senator's ana members OF Congress
lation hostile 10 any American industry,
and we denounce the treatment of our
OF the Senate, which, in violation of cour-
tesy and of all legislative tradition. denied
them hearing. when they desired in con-
stitutional manner TO demonstrate against
this destructive legislation.
I'VE denounce the selection of a Southern
Democrat for the secretaryship of the in
terror as deliberate betrayal of the well
fare Of our soldiers and sailors. and de-
plore the needless prosecutions, suspicious
and privationS 10 which they have been
lion.
I'VE denounce the unpatriotic and I'M
American management OF our foreign re-
lations by the Democratic national admin
lstration which surrenders American treaty
rights and vital interests in Samoa, and
which has Enthusiastically planned and labored
to uphold odious monarchy in Hawaii
and prevent the establishment there of n
cip5e OF self-government upon which our
Republic was formed.
I'VE demand the enactment of such leg
islation viii prevent the immigra tion
of paupers, criminals and persons incapa-
bic. either physically or mentally, OF self
support.
I'VE demand such change in our natur-
alization system as Will deny the rights OF
American citizenship 10 Anarchists, and to
all other persons hostile TO our government
and 10 that liberty OF law upon which IL
Is based.
1.-The Cleveland administration has veri.
ned the first approximations of those who OPP
posed its entrance into Office. II has demon
eign and domestic affairs. IL has shown its
powerlessness 10 counsel wisely even its
own party followers. so that Democratic
congressman are adrift upon all questions
where the power OF public patronage does
not compel them TO act alike. Immediately
upon its accession TO power the Demo
cratic party betrayed the confidence the
American people had reposed in H. and
since then IL has continuously shown itself

the high trust committed 10 its care that
It's history excites the contempt and dis
trust of every thoughtful citizen

ones being those of Gen. James ~ Beaver
