election of Eelectors.at.Large and
Delegates.at.I.arge was a matter of
short work, as was also the confirm.

THE PLATFORM.
"For fidelity to the principles of Re.
publicanism, Pennsylvania holds the
first rank among all the States. Year af-
ter year 1t has returned great maiorities
for the candidates of that party, with nc
selfish demands for recognition of any o.
its own citizens as a national candidate
The time has come when the State which
has so long and faithfully led the Repub-
lican column may justly and properly
submit its own preference for the Repub-
| llcan nomination for the Presidency, In
the presentation of the Honorable Mat
thew Stanley Quay, the Republicans no
alone of Pennsylvania, but of the entire
Union, will recognize one of their fore
most leaders-wise in counsel, and bril-
liant and able in action, at once the type
of the American citizen, scholar, soldier
and statesman.
First of all national issues stands pro
, lection, and first among its advocate,
have been the Republicans of Pennsyl
vania. We believe in protection as a righ
to all American industries, but as a spec
ial favor to none. 1t should be neither
partial, sectional nor hypocritical
should be as nearly as possible equal anC
universal. We are not pledged to any
q schedules, but we demand a restoration
OF the policy of protection; and WI
pledge it as soon as the Republican party
shall be fully restored to power in th,
Executive and Congressional depart
ments of the government; and it shall b,
restored equitably to the farmer and thu
: miner, to the manufacturer and artisan
I'VE demand the restoration of tha
wise policy of reciprocity which was
I framed by James G. Blaine and adopted
g by the wise and benefieent administra
ton of President Harrison, to the grea
s benefit of the commerce of the country
and which has been abandoned by th,
q present Democratic administration.
g I'VE approve the policy of natona
protection to our ship-owners and ship
= building interests by discriminating du
, ties in favor Of American shipping, il
= order that the American flag may be re
a stored TO the high seas.
THE Republican party has alway
maintained the national honor and credit
1t enforced the resumption of specif
payments. 1t kept faith as 10 every deb
created for the preservation of the Union
and has paid the greater part of it in ac
cordance with the spirit and the letter O
the laws under which it had been con
