QUAY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
He Is Placed in Nomination by Gov
 ernor Hastings.

MT. Chairman and gentlemen or the convention: Pennsylvania comes to this convention giving you cordial as- surance that whoever may be the Ma tional standard bearer he will receive of all the states of the Union, the larg est majority from the Keystone state.
 There have been no faNering foot steps in Pennsylvania when the tenets of Republicanism have been at stake.
 Our party's principles have always been held as sacred as Independence hall or the memory of her dead sol diers. Having within her borders more American citizens relatively who own the homes in which they live; whose principal daily avocation is to subdue and develop her from the store house of wealth; whose wage earners, skilled and unskilled, receive one year with the other the highest average American wage rate-the Republicans by their chosen representatives to this convention and with you demand, and their interest demands a system of Ma tional currency equal to the best in the world.
 They demand as we'll that the gov ernment they love and for whose flag they have fought, and still stand ready to defend, shall pay it's debts in money and not in promises. They insist that
 dollar is not created by the fiat of
 the government, but must have one
 hundred cents of intrinsic value, meas
 ured by the worlds standard and that
 any debasement of the standard would
 be fatal to business security and Ma
 tional honor.
 l They believe in the old-fashioned
 custom of living within their income
 and when the income is unequal to the
 necessary outgo they insist upon in-
 creasing their revenue rather than in-
 creasing their debt They believe that the primary object of government is to defend and promote the interests of
 the people who have ordained that government for the advancement of their common welfare. They hold that
 the revenue policy and the protective
 policy go hand in hand and they stand
 as the steady and unwavering cham pions of that American system of fai1
 and even-handed protection which, in
 turing none and helping all, has made
 this Nation great and prosperous.
 Pennsylvania comes to this conven- tion and with great unanimity asks
 you to name standard bearer who
 will represent not only the principles
 and conditions, but the brightest hopes
 and aspirations of the Republican par | ty; man who has been a loyal SUD-
 porter of the party in it's every gread movement; a potent factor in its coun-
 cils from the day of it's birth and bap-
 tism on Pennsylvania soil to the pres
 ent; man whose every vote and ut terance has been upon the side o1
 sound money, fair protection and g
 strong and patriotic American.
 Those whom I represent and who
 ask his nomination at your hands point to a statesman who has been iI
 the forefront of every battle for his
 party; who has been it's champion, it: } wise counsellor, its organizer and tht
 successful leader of forlorn hopes. Ht was with those patriots who rocked
 the cradle of Republicanism; he wa! among the first to comprehend tht
 magnitude of the armed debate of 6. and to give himself to the Union cause In 1878 he stemmed the tide of cur rency imitation and won a victor. which, while less ostentatious, wa equal in importance to his successful rescue of the country from free trad l and Grover Cleveland in 'SS.
 He was the soldiers friend in wa l and has been their constant companion ) in peace. The survivors of those wh g fought for freedom and won immorta = fame recognize in him a comrade who's t valor has been proved on hard tough = fields and attested in the proudes = trophy ever won by soldier-the dec S oration awarded him by the America
 congress.
 q Called to lead a forlorn hope in tn a great campaign of '88, he wrought r task equal to the six labors of He1 n cules. He organized the patriotis1 e and Republicanism of the country fo n victory and rescued the country fro1 j. the heresies of Democracy.
 e Having thus made himself too pow 1T erful and too dangerous to the enem. e the order went forth to assassinat l. him, but the poisoned arrows of sla1 e der and vituperation, thrown in bite o and relentless hatred, fell at his fee e He turned to the people among whol r, he lived and whose servant he was an e his vindication at their hands was e unanimous reelection to the senate V the United States.
 7. We welcome the issue-America ,e protection, American credit and a t, American policy. Let the people in u e campaign which this convention il r. augurates determine whether they al n willing to live through another frt d trade panic. Let the wage earner an
 the wage payer contemplate the bittt IS experience which brought hunger 1 tt the home of one and financial ruin 1T the other. Let the American farmt d compare farm product prices with frt ,r trade promises. Let him who h;
