This statement was received with
wild applause, the delegates standing
on their seats and waving handker-
chiefs. The spectators in the galleries
applauded, and for a moment it was
a bowling mob.
STONES SECONDING SPEECH.
In seconding the nomination, Con-
gresham Stone, after giving a brief
sketch of Senator Quay from the time
of his birth in York county in 1885 I'D
to the present said:
Poor country boy, with nothing but
the plouS example of his Presbyterian,
rather and the prayers of his Christian
mother for his inheritance, he has
risen step by step in the ladder of
political fame until now he stands the
acknowledged leader of the Repub-
lican party, not only in Pennsylvania
but in the nation. Modest, unassuming
unions and Grand Army encampments,
yet holding the affections of the
soldiers of the late war for his untirv
ing efforts in their behalf and for his
personal bravery on the field of battle
"a bravery so conspicuous as to VIII,
and obtain public recognition by the
congress of the United States. Never
was a Drawer or more courageous
soldier, not only on the fields of death
and carnage, but on the political fields
OF the state and nation. In Senator
Quay the people recognize a great
political leader, who is not afraid to
trust his cause in their hands. His
election in the present contest means
not only a great Republican majority
in Pennsylvania this fall, but it means
the election of a Republican president
in 1895. for his election as chairman OF
the Republican state committee il.
Pennsylvania in 1895 means his election,
as chairman of the Republican ma
tlonal committee in 1856, and his cleo
ton as chairman of the Republican
national committee in 1896 means dis
party. 1t means also better and cleaner
politics in the state. 1t means also the
enactment of such legislation as will
make public service the surest tenure
of office. 1t means also the eliminate
ing from our local politics of official
interferences.
Senator Quay, divorced from the
political machinery of the large cities,
people than ever before. His remark
able contest, and its yet more remark
able success, dedicate him to the
people of Pennsylvania. He UNDER
stands and accepts the trust. At his
time of life he does not aspire to
higher honors, and his only ambition
is to continue to serve the people of
his state and to close his political
career with their confidence and APP
prevail. We have had a great contest
inside the party. Let us keep our con-
tests within the party. Let US remem-
Der that We are Republicans. Let moth
ing be said or done here today that
will come back to plague us when the
battle is on with the Democratic
party. 1t has been hot, and many
things have been said and published,
and more things have been published
than said, which have only made /,
hotter.
FORGET THE PAST.
"These things should not be treas
ured as wrongs. In a fight like this we
fight our best, and while the desperate
nght1ng proVokes and worries at the.
time, yet after it is over the hardest
admiration for their courage and their
bravery. There are too many good
soldiers on both sides of this con-
troversy to spare any of them from the
ranks; and in party contest no Re-
publican can ever dislike another SO
much as to wish to see him become q
Democrat. Let us remember that any
troubles Of this compaign which may
survive this convention will neither
benefit US individually or as a party
but only benefit the Democrats. Let
us, therefore, be good soldiers and take
what comes to US, be it victory or de-
feat, in the same. spirit that we have
ever borne submission to the will OF
the majority. Let US look beyond the
skirrnish line of 1855 into the great ma
tional struggle of 1896, and let US re-
member that we can only hope to beat
the common enemy when we are
united.
LET us contemplate for a moment
the calamity which would happen to
this country by the reelection of s
Democratic president and a Demo-
cratic congress. The country is slow
Iy recovering from an epidemic of
Democracy more disastrous in it's
dread raVageS than any political dis
ease that has ever afflicted us before.
Under the expectation of Republican
success in 1896 trade has improved,
our furnace fires have been rekin-
died, and not a strike of any tmpor-
lance has occurred this year. The
people will endure this unequal and I'M
just Democratic tariff law which dis
tributes protection in some spots and
free trade in others under the assur-
ance OF speedy return of Republican
our candidate for president comes from
the young and growing Republican
state of Iowa, the great state of Ohio,
or whether we shall take the great
of Maine; but it does matter much
whom we select as chairman of oar
national committee.
''The. selection of the general is
publican party cannot afford to make
any experiments in 1896. Everyone
knows that the selection of Senator
Quay as national chairman would not
be an experiment. He has been tried
and found to possess every qualifica-
ton necessary to successfully conduct
a campaign against the Democratic
party. II there are any doubts about
his ability to conduct a campaign be-
fore his present contest, those doubts
ought now to be removed. There are
many in the Republican party in
PENNSYLVANIA whose ability skill and
courage have been displayed on many
political battlef1elds. but the Gen.

genius of the Republican party, the

WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
Before the question was nut Con-
gresham Robinson apologized for the
authorship of the Quay campaign
slogan: what did he do with it?',
Referring to Chairman Gilkeson's dis
position of the campaign funds, he said
he was satisfied that Gilkeson spent
the money honestly. Senator QUAY
was then made the unanimous choice
of the convention for state chairman.
There were cries for a speech from
Senator Quay. The senator arose and.
declining to take the platform, simply
said: 81 will endeavor in the cam
paign now ensuing, to make it a cam
paign of merit" AS soon as Senator
Quay finished the delegates and spec
tators began to break for the doors
evidently not caring to hear tho Mat
form, the committee on which was
still in session. A gavel, made from
part of a rafter in the house in which
Blaine was born, in Washington coun-
ty, was presented to Chairman QUAY.
The platform, to which the resolution
reaftirming the currency plank of the
national convention of 1892 was added
after some heated discussion, is as fol-
lows:
THE PLATFORM.
