HARRISBURG. Pa. Aug. 2l.-The fol-
lowing ticket was nominated today by
the Republican state convention:
SUPP eme Court Judge. Hay Brown,
of Lancaster.
Superior Court Judge = Josiah R.
Adams, of Philadelphia
State TreaSurer-Lieut. Col. James E.
Barnett, of Tenth Pennsylvania regiment.
The only discordant note in the con-
vention was sounded by Senator William
Flynn, Of Pittsburg, chairman of the anti
Quay organization in the last legislature.
Mr.. Flynn opposed the plank in the plat
form indorsing the appointment of ex-
Senator Quay by Gov. Stcne. A roll call
was taken on the adoption of the plat
form as a whole, and it was adopted by
large majority. The anti-Quay dele
gates voted against the adoption of the
platform and the nomir alton of Mr..
Adams.
Before the result of the ballot for SUI
preme court judge was announced the
friends of Judge Archibald, Of Scranton,
and ex-Attorney General Palmer, of
Wilkesbarre, moved to make Mr.. Brown
nomination unanimous.
Superior Court Judge DINNER Berber,
Of Philadelphia, was named in opposition
to Mr.. Adams, and received the votes of
many of the anti-Quay delegates. The
nomination of Col. Barnett was made by
reclamation.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform as adopted begins as fol-
lows:
I'VE congratulate the American people
upon the result of the campaign of 1896,
the establishment of a sound currency,
the securing Of proper protection to
American industries, and the election of
that champion of the common people,
William Mckinley, to be president of the
United States. The Republican party has
been in control of the national govern
ment for little more than two years, and
during that time every promise made by
it has been fulfilled. Business is active
and remunerative; labor is employed at
good and increasing wages; capital has
ample field for investment, and an era
of uneXampled prosperity has been In
augurated. Much of the success of the
Republican policy adopted in 1896 is due
to the good Judgment, wise counsel adj
ministrative ability, far-rea ching diplo-
macy and broad-minded craftsmanship of
our patriotic president. We firmly support
administration,
place on record the wish of the Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania that he be noni-
mated to lead our hosts to victory in the
campaign of 1900, and to this end we
recommend the election of delegates who
will give his candidacy earnest and Wig
orous support in the next national con-
Vention."
The platform reaffirms the St. Louis
platform; declares for the maintenance
of the gold standard and against the free
M a RI
renews allegiance to the policy of pro-
lection and indorses the action of the
Pennsylvania congressman in voting for
the Dingley tariff. and continues:
I'VE congratulate the country on the
successful termination of the war with
spain, and recognize the wisdom of the
policy President Mckinley has Inaugural
ted in the management of affairs in Cuba
and Porto Rico. and promise him our
faithful support in the prosecution of the
war in the Philippines in order that the
supremacy Of the flag planted there by
the valor Of our army and navy may be
maintained"
In additional paragraphs the platform
says:
1--WE have ceased to be content with
supply products for home consumption

policy of industrial, commercial and ma
