the upper galleries were well filled
with enthusiastic spectators.

chosen temporary chairman aud Benja-
min Mead of Harrisburg, secretary.
The platform adopted is in part as fol-
lows:
The democracy OF Pennsylvania renew their
expression OF faith in democratic principles.
and their unfaltering confidence that these
principles are efficient for good government,
municipal state and federal.
We again indorse and approve the deciara-
tioas OF the democratic national platform OF
1892 upon which democratic president and
| congress were elected, and we desire and ds-
mand that the tariff laws be revised in accora-
ance with that authoritative declaration OF
| party principles.
We declare that the constant, courageous and
infexible determination Of democratic preS-
dent to maintain the credit Of the goyornmens
| terminated q financial panic, restored cont-
dence and composed disturbed values
We heartily approve and indorse the upright
and sagacious administration OF Presidspt
Cleveland, which has fulfilled the pledges f1As
party and has satisfied the expectation OF tho
people.
We deplore all differences between employtr
and employee and we deprecate the resort n
force for settlement Of questions that shoWa
be determined by peaceful arbltrament. we
recognize the right Of every citizen TO be pro-
tected In the free enjoyment Of his property
and OF the privilege TO work when, for whom
and what wages he will.
None the less we condemn the insincerity ana
inconsistency Of those who elamor loudly pr
protection TO American industries and yetseeR
every occasion and lose no opportunity 10 SUP

We denounce the hypoccite who pretends zeaI
for the improvement OF the social condition OK
the American workingmen and yet displacea
and eyicts them for aliens ignorant OF our laws
and foreign TO our institutions. We stand NJ
the rigid enforcement Of all the laws OF tpe
commonwealth enacted toprotect the lives ans
