Opposes Free Coinage of Silver and Favors
Protective Tariff.
At the Republican State Convention
of Pennsylvania which met in Harris
burg on last Wednesday, the Matt. S.
Quay faction controlled the Conyen-
ton.
Congressman Stone, of Allegheny.
offered the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
"That the rule for the selection of
Chairman of the State committee by
the candidates and the permanent
Chairman of the Convention be sus
pended, and said State Chairman be
named by the Convention immediate
y after the adoption of the report of
the committee of resolutions"
In accordance with the above resolu-
ton Matt. S. Quay was elected Chair
man of the State committee.
The following are the planks of the
platform adopted on the question of
the currency and the tariff
1.-THE Republican party of Penn
sylvania in Convention assembled
makes the following declaration of
principles:
1--WE accept unreservedly the deter
mination enunciated by the Republi-
can National Convention of 1892; that
we demand the use of both gold and
silver money with such restrictions
and under such provisions, to be deter
mined by Legislation, as will secure
the maintenance of the parity of values
of the two metals SO that the purchas-
ing and debt-paying power of the dol
lar, whether of silver, gold or paper.
shall at all times be equally faithful
to the Republican party, and believ-
ing it to be the settled doctrine of the
party that the honor of the nation and
the interests of it's citizens require the
maintenance of national currency,
every dollar of which, whether in gold,
silver or notes, shall be of staple value
and of equal purchasing power here
by declares its opposition to the de-
basement of the national currency by
the admission of silver to free and I'M
limited coinage at the arbitrary ratio
of 16 to 1.
I'VE declare our continued adher-
ence to the protective policy which
has been so sturdily championed for
one hundred years by the great men
of our State and of our nation, and to
the acceptance of which policy by the
Republican party the country owes all
the prosperity it has enjoyed during
the last thIrty-five years.

has come for US to make some cooperative eff

non-partisan conference held in Petersburg
on the lSt day of August, 1895, composed of Re-
publ1cans, ProhibitiOnists, Populists and indie
pendent Democrats. who adopted a fair, hon
est and nOn-partizan Election law and further
declared their unalterable purpose to make
the approaching legislative contest on that
issue pure and simple.
Now, therefore, we in pursuance of the plan
of organization recommended by the Peters
burg conference, hereby call non partizan

From the foundry the bell will be

placed in position, the great bell will
be consecrated according to the Roman
Catholic custom. The bell will then
be raised to the belfry, where it is to
be mounted in connection with a
chime of tventy-six smaller bells, yet
to be cast.
A novel feature in the proposed
peal of bells will be its connection,
bv an ingenious device, with the
organ. so that it will be under the
control of the organist, and may be
used to reinforce the rendering OF the

Beneath this is the seal of Ohio,

full folds on either side; and beneath
this is the seal of the city of Cincin,

donor and family complete the design.
On the ecclesiastical half, under the
surmounting tiara, is medallion of
Pope Leo Kill, with his seal beneath
it. Just below is the medallion of the
Right Rev. William Henry Elder,
Archbishop of Cincinnati, through
which are crossed the stats of the
Papal banners. Right and left of this
medallion are two others-of Arch
bishop Purcell and Bishop Fenwick,
the first Bishop of Cincinnati. Be-
meath the central medallion is one of
Vicar General Albrink.
Around the crown, in Gothic relief,
are two verses of medieval Latin
hexameters relating to the bells, which
read as follows;
Laudo Deum verum, plebum voco congrego
clerum;
Funera prango, fulgura FRANCO, Sabbata
pango.
This may be approximately, though
not completely, rendered by the quaint
old English lines:

When we lamente passyng 5oule,

1t will be noticed that great SYM
metry has been attained by this ar

the tiara, and the American flag to the
Papal ensign; the seal of the United
States corresponds to that of Rome,
and the same artistic balance is main
tanned in all the parts.
This ornamentation of bells is pc.
culiar and difficult task. The decora.

As We plunged into the jungle path,
the last belated bats were Tapping
their way homeward, and giving place
to the first birds of the day, the crows,
whose joyous cries already made the
dim recesses of the forest start into
life. The flood Of morning sunshine
which lighted up the path, though it
could hardly be said to do as much for
the depths of the surrounding Jungle,
was the signal for the awakening Of
the teeming life of the forest. From
every branch on either side our path
was poured sudden gush of music.
The rich song of the dial bird was
mingled with the more distant flute
like notes of the oriole; and from the
far recesses of the forest the deep mel.
low call OF the iungle-cock filled the
air with a luxury of sound. Then tia
insect life awoke. Huge dragon flies,
startling in tueir bright metallic col,

and gaudy butterflies foatel land
