Daniel Graver, of Catbon; Purrington, of Monroo. and Horton of Pike, were, on motion, appointed to notify Mr. Rapsher of tho deliberation of tho con fcrence, following which Mr. Rapshcr spoke as follows : Wit. i'llBStlJKNT AN1 (1KNTI.KMKN Of tub coNriJUHscu: I desire to heartily thank yo'u for the high honor you have conferred upon me, and for tho confidence you havo so generously reposed In mo by naming mo as your candidate for Senator of this groat Commonwealth, from this senatorial district. I regard It as an honor aud a dos'inctlou worthy of a high ambi tion lo bo chosen lo represent threo coun ties In our Stale Senate, llko Carbon, Mon roe and Pike, having an aggregate popula tion of nearly soventy thousand souls. Should I bo elected I hereby pledge in) self that l win wen ami tru:y serve nut only my constituents in Carbon, Monroe and Pike, but all the peoplo of tho whole Stale to tho best of try ability. Mv political doctrines aro thoso of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, and when 1 say that I will eainestly strive lu servo tho people according to the best of my judgment and ability, 1 moan to be distinctly understood that it will be in tho lino and In accord with the trlie spirit of Democratic prin ciples, as laid down In history by those groat leaders or tho Democratic party. And I beg leavo to remind you. that tho clear and well-defined principles of the Democratic party us drawn and recognized during the. days of Thomas JctTcrson and Alexander Hamilton, aro to-Uay as dis tinctly Ylslblo as they were then. It Is somewhat Interesting to recall that the Ucmocialic party In Its Inrancy should have boon known by tho name of the Re publican patty. vviiito its name uas uccn cnaugcu, its leading prluclplos have remained as firm as the nock of Ages. Indeed, it seems to me that the Republican principles of to day arc as wide apart as they were in Iho days of Jefferson and Hamilton. For illus tration please scrutinize, Senator Quay's, mcmous, ?pcaKer lieeu's gag law, mo Lodge bayonet election forco bill, tho Mc Kimuy Taillt bill and kindred measures, which wore hitherto unknown in countries where liberty bad a square foothold. This is Indeed a time for tho Democratic parly to buckle on its strongest armor and re-assert its true fundamental principles, when such outrages as these aro being perpetrat ed upon us, In tho name of the law and the Constitution. Above all. tills is suiclv tio time lo en courage Democratic quarrels and discord, to Intcrfero with Democratic progress and success. Wo must insist upon united and determined woik for tho City candldalo up to tho Governor. )K th unity In our ranks. good organization, and that vigilance and work which eyery citizen owes lu the Commonwealth Robert E. Pattison will again bo elected Governor next November. This will civcusagrcat auvautago oyer nur opponents in tho noxt national contest, so as lo enable us again lo elect u rover Cleveland President of tho United States two years henoe. Then will tho great Democratic parly havo redeemed, not only our own o'.atc, but tho whole union ol States from tho enemies of popular govern ment anu tno auvocates ot uayonci ruio and corruption. When this glorious era coincs then will the rights of the peoplo be restored and tho Iniquity of burdensome taxation from tho necessaries of life lifted from tticir shoulders. When Mr. Pattison was in Iho Guberna torial chair his record distinctly shows that ho was an Executive that did bis whole duty for all the people, ho looked after inc. inicrcMs or the tanner, the mechanic, the arllslan, as well as tho commonest laborer. Ho even persistently cudcavored to pcrsuado tho great corporations of tills Commonwealth that it would ho to their best interests and wclfaro to obey tho Con stitution and the laws. This last cfforl ought not bo diflicult, but it is'nt at all easy to carry It Into practical effect. 11 certainly has not been donosiuco the adop tion ot tnc jncw Constitution, uue or the most Imporant measures that will Ue brought before llie noxt Legislature will be tho subject of Ballot Reform. Aud right hero allow mo to ask you to noto how rapidly public opinion changes. Sixteen years ago when the New Constitution was adopted, it was thought by tho ablcst'minds of State that tbe purest and best system of iiallol reform could be accomplished by number ing each and overy ballot as it was cast, so mat in case of fraud at the polls even voter could Iraco his ballot. And with good leasou because Ibis num bering has boon used to destioy Iho seciecy of tho ballot and mado ttsn of lo Intimidate voters. I was In favor of the Australian System of ballot reform beforo It becamo u cardinal pUuk In tbe Democratic Platform. I am in favor of It, oven, if It reuuiros anv amenumoni lo mo uonsiiiuuun to com- pletlv ellecL It.
