Auditor General:
DAVID 8TANTON, of Better Co.
Surveyor General:
HORERT B. BEATII, of Schuylkill.
Ths Bepulllcan State Conrsntlon and Iti
Nominees
gay the Slate Journal, speaking of
the Republican convention and its
nominees: It was an exceedingly har
monious and energetic body of men,
who transacted their business with tho
firmness and alacrity of people knowing
exactly what they were doing, and why
they did it. Everything connected
with the convention argues a campaign
cf vigor and a victory which will be a
credit to the Republican party.
The nominee for Auditor General,
Dr. Stanton, ot Beaver county, is a
gentleman of fine charaoter, fully quali
fied for the important duties devolved
upon him. He served as a surgeon in
the army during the war to crush rebel
lion, and made a reputation such as will
win him friends as a candidate for po
litical honors in all parts of the State.
Col. Robert B. Beath, the candidate
foi Surveyor General,- was a good soldier
during the war, fighting gallantly for
lis country in the hour of its danger,
and now deserving all the honor there
is in the position to which he will be
elected.
Every plank in the platform erected
is of sound timber, capable of any test
which our opponents may apply to tt,
and broad enough to accommodate every
man who is a Republican from princi
ple. It is the doctrine of the Republi
can party to do what is right for all men
and all interests. By that we have tri
uraphed heretofore, and by jt we will be
victorious as long as we aro faithful to
its noble teaching.
Aside from tho merits of our candi
dates, and they are well established, we
go into the campaign animated and con
trolled by the absorbing truth that it is
necessary for the Republican party to
euccced, because such success is essen
tial to the well-being and the perpetuity
of the Republic. There can bo no
cood government in this country unless
itJVvwJvil. ludu no nts SS u ' ib'iutu
and a natiou wo owe to Republican
policy. Had the Demucratio party
teen continued in power in 18G0, we
would have ceased to exist as a united
nation in 1870. These are the priori
pics on which we go into the contest,
and on the single issues that the peo
ple cannot do without the Government
administered by the Republican party
we will win another grett victory in
October.

THE PLATFORM.
Mr. Errett, from the Committeo on
resolutions, made the following report:
The Republicans of Pennsylvania,
1. They demand of the Legislature
assembled in convention, doolare that
the immediate passage of an act calling
a State Convention to revise and amend
the Constitution for the purpose, among
other things of
Abolishing and prohibiting special
legislation;
Securing the election of all otate
oDioers by the people;
Kstablishing a judicial system that
will make justioe prompt and sure;
And providing lor the passage oi
general laws that shall so encourage in
dustrial enterprise, that Pennsylvania
shall be enabled to take her just plaoe
jo the front rank of all the States.
2. They demand of Congress that
the credit of the nation shall be faithfully-
maintained; home industry en
couraged and protected; an adequate
civil servioe system established for reg
ulating appointments to office; taxes re
duced to the lowest possible limit con
sistent with the steady, but not too
rapid, extinction of the national debt;
the honor of the republic sustained at
home and abroad; the rights of every
man protected in all the. States, and
every man entitled thereto secured in
the polling of one vote, and no more, at
each election.
3. ,Thcy declare their unalterable at
tachment to the principle of protection
to home industry, in the levying of tariff
duties, in accordance with the wise
policy which has existed from the foun
dation ot the Government to this time.
4. They commend the policy ot re
trenchment and wholesome enforcement
of the laws, which has prevailed since
the election ot General Grant to the
Presidency, and which has resulted in
the first two years ot his administration
in reducing the national debt over two
hundred millions, and curtailing the
taxes to the extent of eighty millions
annually. They commend, also, the
similar policy which has prevailed un
der Republican rule in Pennsylvania,
resulting in paying off the war debt of
three and a bait millions; reduoing the
State debt from forty to thirty millions;
and in abolishing the State tax on real
estate. It is to the fact that both the
State and nation have been in Repub
lican hands, we owe the accomplishment
of such gratifying results; and it is to
tho continuance of that party in power,
the people must alone look for the con
tinuance of this policy. The return of
the Democrats to power in either State
or nation, must inevitably be attended
with a return to extravagauce in expen
dituics, to the impairment of State and
national credit, and to the abandonment
of that protection to free labor under
which our industry has thriven and our
people been made prosperous.
5. That in the judgement of this
convention, thetimo has come when the
ftate tax on personal estate may be
safely abolished, and the other taxes,
imposed by State laws, moy also pru
dently be reduced without injury to the
credit of the Commonwealth.
0. That as an indication of what the
people may fear from a return of the
Democratia party to power, wo point to
tho criminal waste of the time and
r. nr. nt. fiT flirty ruiejlA. hit. .jHlv. CtTAfVt
The Legislature has been now nearly
five months in session, and is not yet
through with its legitimate business,
owinsr to the obstructive policy of this
majority. In all this time, scarcely a
riivjle measure of public interest hat
hecu perfected; and the time has been
wasted in their efforts to force on our
State an uojust apportionment, and to
break down the registry law against il
legal voting, that they might thereby
pave the way to their return to power
through violence and fraud.
7. We oommeud to the support of the
people of the State the candidates we
have this day nominated for State offi
cers. They are honest, capable and
faithful to the Constitution, and in every
way worthy the publio confidence. We
ask for their election, as an endorsement
of the State and National administra
tions, as an approval of the time honored
principles of the Republican party,
which we reaffirm in their nomination,
and as a fitting rebuke to the Democratic
party for its destructive national policy;
for its adherence to the side of violence
and wrong in the South; and for the
spirit it has betrayed in the Senate of this
State this winter where it has made
everything bend to the promotion of
partisan interests, defeated the holding
of a State convention to amend our
Constitution, wasted the publio time in
childish trifling, and entailed upon the
State a bill of expense for a session pro
longed beyond endurance, and which
has prevented the accomplishment of
any publio good.
8. That our confidence in the firm
ness, wisdom and integrity of our pres
ent worthy Governor, J no. W. Geary,
remains unshaken, and that we believe
his qualifications for the office he now
holds are unquestionable, ae is clearly
proved by the .manner he bas brought
the State in safety through every storm.
9. That the administration of Presi
dent Grant meets the full approval ot
the Republican party of Pennsylvania.
His financial policy, by which the na
tional debt is being steadily reduced;
the reduction in the expenditures of the
government; the honest collection of the
revenues; his fidelity to the principles
of human right, through which the
liberty of all is to be secured in every
part of the land; his loyality to the
people in having no policy to enforce
against their will; and the spotless in
tegrity of his administration.
After the reading of the resolutions
had been ooncluded, a motion was made
that the same be unanimously adopted.
The Hon. P. C. Shannon advocated
the same in a most powerful speech, and
on concluding, offered to amend the
ninth resolution by adding tho following,
"and point to him as the honored. leader
of our party now, and the proper stand
ary bearer of the Republican party in
1872." 1 3
Several gontlemen deprecated th
amendmont as being premature, but the
same was ably defended by Russell
ftrrett, ot 1'itUburg, and Capt. John r.
Ray, of LancaHter. The amendment
and resolution wore then adopted with
deafening applause.
Mr. Errett then offered the follow
ing resolution, via:
That the Republican State Central
Cnmmittee for the ensuing year shall be
constituted of the same number, and
appointed in the same way as the pres
ent State Central Committee, the offi
cer to consist of a chairman, three
secretaries and a treasurer, to be ap
pointed by the Committee.
Mr. Mann, of Potter, moved to amend
by making the chairman of the Com
mittee be Hon. Butler B. Strang, of
Tioga.
Mr. Quay moved to amend the
amendment to the resolution to read
that the permanent president of the
convention and the two candidates this
day nominated shall appoint the chair
man of the State Central Committee.
After considerable debate the amend
ment of Mr. Quay was agreed to, and
the resolution as amended was adopted.
Mr. Shannon offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted;
Resolved, That the thanks of the
people of Pennsylvania are due to Gen
eral Ilartranft and General Campbell
for the able, faithful and efficient man
ner in which they have discharged the
duties of the offices of Auditor General
and Surveyor General.
General Wagner then moved ad
journment tine die. Carried.
