THE RESOLUTIONS.
The following is the platform adopt
ed by the Republican state conventions:
For fidelity to the principles of Re
publicanism, Pennsylvania holds the
first rank among all states. Year af-
ter year it has returned great majori-
ties for the candidates of that party,
with no selfish demands for recogni-
ton of any of its own citizens as a ma
tional candidate.
1.-The time has come when the state
which has so long and faithfully led
the Republican column may justly and
properly submit its own preference
for the Republican nomination for the
presidency.
In the presentation of the Hon.
Matthew Stanley Quay. the Republic
cans, not alone of Pennsylvania, but
of the entire Union, will recognize one
of their foremost leaders, wise in coun-
sci and brilliant and able in action, at
once the type of American citizen,
scholar, soldier and statesman"
nd ic,r n <o,. f11o ion
of the policy of protection and the
reciprocity policy of James G. Blaine,
adopted by the wise and benefcient
administration of President Harrison.
Discriminating duties in favor of
American shipping is favored.
ON FINANCES.
On the financial question the plat
form says:
The Republican party has always
maintained the national honor and
credit. 1t forced the resumption of
specie payment. 1t kept faith as to
every debt created for the preserva.-
ton of the Union, and has paid the
greater part of it in accordance with
the spirit and the letter of the laws I'M
der which it had been contracted. It
largely reduced the interest charges
upon the balance of the debt by re-
IQnQlIlS
for the 1uctuating and inadequately
secured notes of the state banks,
uniform national currency of stable
value, and of equal purchasing power.
Faithful to it's record, believing that
the people are entitled to the use OF
the best money and anxious to restore
and preserve the industrial and COM
mercial prosperity of the Union, the
Republican party favors international
bimetallism, and until that can be es-
tablished upon government account
demands the maintenance Of the exist
ing gold standard of value"
The platform proceeds: There should
be no statute of limitation against
grateful recognition of the services
and
SACRIFICES OF SOLDIERS
and sailors who preserved the Union.
We denounce the present administra-
ton of the pension bureau for its be-
trayal of the interests of those heroes
and it's attempt to nullify existing
laws.
1--WE believe in the enactment OF sucn
restrictive legislation as will admit TO
our shores only those immigrants VINO
have the capacity and desire TO become
good American citizens.
The rest of the platform deals with
state matters. Governor Hastings ad-
ministration being endorsed.
