chairman and the temporary chairman
appointed Senator Quay and Chris L.
Magee Of Pittsburg to escort the governor
to the platform.
The trio were cheered long and loud as
they marched down the aisle. A spirit of
harmony now pervaded the heated conven-
tion hall and the already enthusiastic del
egates became noiser than ever. The
cheering continued until long after the
governor had reached the stage. Upon
taking the chair. the governor said:
Gentlemen Of the Convention: I thank
you most sincerely for this great honor.
The weather is too warm. 1 will not make
a speech. may, however, say that the
recent events in the Republican party OF
Pennsylvania prove the saying that cleo
trio storms have the effect Of clearing the
atmosphere, and we reserve the cyclone
for the free trade, debt-creating Democrat
ic party"
The resolution committee not being ready
to report, Chairman Hastings called for
the next order of business, and Col Henry
Hall mounted the stage and placed the
name of Ben j. Haywood of Mercer coun-
ty before the convention for state treas
urer. There were no other nominations,
and Mr.. Haywood was chosen by accla-
nation.
Senator Quay in a brief speech then
presented the names or the six republi-
can members for the superior court for
|
Gov. Hastings on June q, and the sena-
tor moved that they all be elected by ac-
clamation. The nominations were made
as the senator requested.
Mr.. Gilkeson then withdrew as can
didate for state chairman, and moved
that Senator Matthew Stanley Quay be
elected state chairman.
The delegates outdid themselves when
| Mr.. Gilkeson had concluded, and the
| scene was the most impressive OF the
convention. Men shouted until they
were hoarse and hats, canes, and hand
kerchiefs were waved frantically.
The love feast was now at its hight,
and the perspiring participants forgot
the extreme heat in giving expression to
| the harmony programme. Quay was cleo
| ted by acclamation.
After a somewhat lengthy wait the
committee on resolutions reported the
| platform, which was read by District At
| torney Graham of Philadelphia.
The financial and tariff planks are as
| follows: We accept unreservedly the de-
| termination enunciated by the republican
| national convention of 1892; we demand
| the use of both gold and silver money
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by legisla-
| ton, as will secure the maintenance Of
the parity of values of the two metals,
so that the purchasing and debt paying
| power of the dollar, whether of silver,
| gold or paper, shall at all times be equal
Faithful to the Republican party and
believing it to be the settled doctrine of
the party that the honor of the nation
and the interests of its citizens require
| the maintenance of a national currency
| every dollar of which, whether in gold,
| silver or notes, shall be of stable value,
i and of equal purchasing power, this con-
| vention hereby declares its opposition to
| the debasement of the national currency
| by the admission of silver to free and
unlimited coinage at the arbitrary ratio
| of 16 to /.
| We declare our continued adherence to
| the protective policy which has been stur-
| Oily championed for 100 years by the great
| men of our state and of our nation and
| to the acceptance of which policy by the
1 Republican party the country owes all
| the prosperity it has enjoyed during the
| last thirty years
We insist upon the passage of such legis-
lation as will secure the restoration and
| maintenance of this policy without quail
| ifcation or abatement.
The Democratic party, under Mr.. Cleve-
| lands leadership, is charged with the
| precipitation upon the country in the early
| part of 1893, of the most disastrous indus
| trial and financial panic in our history
which was caused by the open threat of
Mr. Cleveland to destroy the protective
| policy, and by the fear that other radical
| and destructive legislative changes would
be attempted under the same leadership.
The final plank was the resolution offer
| ed by Senator Quay regarding the civil
| service The platform was adopted and
the convention, at 2:4S o'clock, adjourned
sine die.
The nominees for judges are:
Ex-Gov James A. Beaver of Center
county; Howard J. Reeder, Northampton;
John Wickham. Beaver; George q. Or
lady, Huntingdon; Charles e. Rice, Lu-
| zerne: E. n. willard, Lackawanna. The
seventh member of the judiciary is Henry
]. Mccarthy, (dem), of Philadelphia, the
law creating the new court, providing for
| minority representation.
indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 2s.-In an edi-
torial discussing the effect of Senator
Quay's victory upon Gen. Harrison's can
didacy the News, which is regarded as
the ex-President's organ, says this even
ing:
"A man who has been close to Gen.
Harrison personally for several years
saws the victory Of Quay will settle Gen.
| Harrison's determination not to allow
his friends to begin any movement in his
behalf; not that he and his friends do
not believe that they could secure the
nomination, but because the general viii
not allow himself to be drawn into the
contest for nomination.
'It is now evident that both Pennsylva-
mia. and New York would be against Gen.
Harrison" said this man. our infor-
nation is that Platt will never allow New
York to cast its vote for him. We all
know how Quay feels toward Harrison,
and if this is true that he has won his
fight, it means that Harrison could ex-
pect nothing from Pennsylvania. / think
it is generally believedsthat the masses of
the republicans of these two states are
for Harrison but the bosses will control
the delegations Gen. Harrison will never
allow the use of his name in a convention
in which New York and Pennsylvania are
against him. He would have been glad to
have seen Quay beaten as a good thing
for the party"
BoODLERs WILL RESIST.
