SPEECH OF GOV. GEARY BEFORE THE
REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
On Wednesday, after the nomination of
Governor Geary as the Republican standard
bearer in the coming campaign, he was wait
ed upon at his hotel and escorted to Concert
Hall, where he was received by successive
salvos of applause. He addressed the Coy
vention as follows :
Mr. President and gentlemen of the Con
vention : Your committee has informed
me that you have nominated me for Gover
nor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
and conferred upon me the distinguished
honor of being the standard-bearer of the
Republican party for the approaching polit
ical contest. For this manifestation of con
tinued confidence and appreciation, I feel
that any language I am competent to com
mand is entirely too poor to express, In ap
propriate terms, the emotions of my heart,
and no other resource is left me than frankly
to return to you, and through you to my
fellow citizens whom you represent, my sin
cere thanks and gratitude.
The nomination of Hon. Henry W. Wil
liams for Judge of the Supreme Court is ex
ceedingly gratifying to me. His pure and
unsullied character as a man, connected with
a high order of talent, cultivated intellect,
eminent legal attainments and energetic in
dustry, proclaim him the right man for that
position and induced me to place him where
he now is. The remarkable unanimity that
has characterized your action in reference to
Judge Williams and myself inspires me with
high hopes and brilliant anticipations. It
augurs with certainty a favorable and trium
phant ratification by the people, and gives
"goodly promise of a glorious day in action."
When I contemplate the labor, anxiety of
mind, and responsibility that must necessa
rily be devolved upon me during the canvass
for an election of such magnitude, a con
sciousness of the difficulties surrounding the
task causes me almost instinctively to shrink
from the undertaking. But I confidently
look to a higher Power, and to my fellow
citizens, for that aid, support and encourage
ment which may enable me to steer the Re
publican ship with safety through the break
em of the coming conflict. Satisfied that
my trust is not misplaced, I unhesitatingly
accept the distinguished honor that has been
conferred upon me by this honorable Con
vention.
Three years ago a similar honor was con
ferred upon me at a period when our nation
was just emerging from a most terrible war ;
and with the dust of battle scarcely brushed
from my own garments, and polf tically in
experienced as I was, I ardently entered up
on the contest which resulted so gloriously
for the Republican cause in 1866. I did not
accept the nomination then in the belief that
in my own person I possessed any intrinsic
merit, or had rendered any services to my
country which entitled me individually to
receive it; but I accepted it as a compliment
to my comrades in arms, and as a matter due
to the three hundred thousand soldiers of
Pennsylvania, who had rendered noble,ser
vices is the field, the aggregate value of
which can never be estimated, and to whom
we are indebted for a home and a country.
On their behalf I then warmly thanked the Our X - ink gokto.

those thanks again to you. And now, after
having served the greater portion of the term

In bearing the banner you have this day
confided to me, I pledge you that it shall be ished, but very hollow,
carried at the head of the Republican col
umn; its movements shall always he directed
to the sound of the heaviest firing; and
when the conflict is over, I confidently
predict the banner will be placed, as it was
in 1806, in triumph upon the dome of the
capitol, without spot or blemish on its stripes,
' and each and every star as bright es when
its first effulgence beamed on the country, and
Pennsylvania will still be as true as when
she signed "the sacred covenant that hinds
the States together in the bonds of an ever
lasting union."
Should the people again place me in the
executive chair, I will continue to use my
best exertions to promote everywhere the
peace, honor and welfare of my native State,
and to secure all the blessings that a good
government can bestow upon a free people.
And it shall be my pleasure to aid the Chief
Magistrate of the nation in his laudable ef
forts to "let us have peace," and if necessity
should require it I will aid him to preserve
our national rights and national honor at all
hazards and every sacrifice. It shall be my
special duty to extend all the influence I
may possess to aid in procuring adequate
protection for every branch of our domestic
industry and productions, and to see that
exact justice shall be done to the mechanic and
the laborer, as well as to the capitalist, and
as far as possible to make them feel that their
true interests are one and inseparable.
As a candidate it shall be my constant aim
to extend, strengthen and confirm the unity
and good feeling of the Republican party, and
in this work I sincerely invoke the aid of
every true Republican. For my own part I
will not recognize divisions or factions m the
party, but will from this time forth look upon
it only as united, harmonious, patriotic, and
enthusiastic in the development and deter
mination of the great principles and measures
of progress for which it was organized. I
have no enemies in whose punishment I can
take delight, and whatever has been said or
done in the excitement of the movements
preliminary to this Convention that was
wrong and painful to me is frankly forgiven,
and as far as possible obliterated from my
memory,
The Republican party has a proud record
in the past, anda glorious future before it.
It has accomplished more good in a shorter
space of time than any other organization
that ever existed, and we have reason to re
joice that it still lives, and moves, and has a
being. Among its achievements is the abol
ishment of slavery. That scandal to hu
manity and opprobrium of the nation lies
dead amidst its worshippers. The rights
and privileges of all men are secured in their
lives, their homes, their labor and their per
sons. All men are protected because they
are men,
without reference to race or color.
In the language of Abraham Lincoln, it
" Cares for him who has borne the battle,
and for his widow and his orphan, and seeks
to achieve and cherish a lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations.' Each in
dividual is animated with love for the Union
and for universal liberty. Never was a Re
publican found guilty of firing into the flog
of his country and shooting down its brave
defenders. The party has sacredly decreed
the payment of the entire debt incurred to
save the life of the nation. In a word, it
has defeated the nation's enemies,
saved the
Union, and caused it to be more highly re
spected and admired throughout the civil
ized world than ever before.
Friends of the four hundred thousand
heroes who died for the country, with such
a glorious record how can you surrender
your government into the hands of those
who would have destroyed it within the last
six years if they could? The Union is the
ark of our safety. The Republican party
has proven itself the true friend of the Union.
Sustain the Republican party by victory, and
you will thereby sustain the Union. And
suffer not unrepentant rebels and their sym
pathisers ever to. touch the hallowed sanctu
aries of either State or national governments.
Then let us here "highly resolve" to pre
serve forever the former in " Virtue, Liberty
and Independence ;" and to protect, defend
and perpetuate the latter, let us here pledge
anew " Our lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor." Gentlemen of the Convention,
again I thank you.

—A good suggestion is like a crying
baby at a concert—it ought to be carried
out.
—Saxe says: "Laws, like sausages,
cease to inspire respect in proportion as
to how they are made."
—Billings blows that the hardest work
a fellow can do is to spark two gals at once
—and preserve a good average.
—" I think our church will last a good
many years yet," said a waggish deacon
to his minister, " I sec the sleepers are very
sound."
—Girls sometimes put their lips out
poutingly because they are angry, and
sometimes because they are disposed to
meet you half-way.
—Utah exhibits specimens of raisins.
Of all raisins, raisin' children would seem
to be their best hold.
In Cork, Ireland, a short time ago,
the crier of the court endeavored to clear
it by exclaiming, "All ye blackguards that
isn't lawyears lave the court."
"My dear," said an affectionate
spouse to her husband, "am not I your
only treasure ?" "Yes," was the cool
reply, "and I would willingly lay it up in
heaven."
Little Johnny was being catechised
by his brother, who asked him what he
was made of. Johnny replied : "You and
me and papa are made of dust, and mamma
and sister are made of men's Wibs."
—A little boy being asked if he knew
where liars went, answered yes—that
they went to New York and wrote for a
copperhead newspaper.
—Those exposed to summer sun are re
commended to put cabbage leaves in their
hats—but this remedy is not necessary to
those who wear cabbage heads.
—lt is estimated that there were seven
miles of violin strings in the coliseum or
chestra. Ifow many miles of catastrophe
must have occurred to produce the ma
terial?
—One of the superb styles of ladies'
hats now worn is called the butter dish.
They are a cross between a snapping,
turtle and a warming pan—and are so
nice!
The most tender-hearted man ever
heard of was a shoemaker, who always
shut his eyes and whistled when he ran
his awl into a sole.
—A surgical journal speaks of a man
who lived five years with a ball in his
head. A waggish friend of ours says he
has known ladies to live twice as long
with nothing but, balls in their heads.
—"Well George," asked a friend of a
young lawyer who bad been admitted
about a year, "how do you like your new
profession?" The reply was accompan
ied by a briof sigh to suit the occasion :
"My profession is much better than my
practice."
—To be a woman of fashion is one of
the easiest things in the world. A late
writer thus describes it: " Buy everything
you don't want, and pay for nothing you
get; smile on all mankind but your hus
band; be happy everywhere but at home."
—Some one blamed Dr. Marsh for
changing his mind. " Well," said he,
"that is the difference between a man
and a jackass; the jackass can't change
his mind, and the man can—it's a human
privilege."
—"Does my son William, that's in the
army, get plenty to eat?" said an an old
woman to a recruiting sergeant, the other
day. "lie sees plenty," was the laconic
reply. "Bless his heart, then, I know
he'll have it if he.can see it; he always
would at home."
—A modern writer gives the following
enumeration of female eyes: " The glare,
the stare, the sneer, the invitation, the
defiance, the denial, the consent, the
glance of love, the flash of rage, the spark
ling of hope, the languishment of softness,
the squint ofsuspicion, the fire of jealousy,
and the lustre of pleasure."
—A young woman in Davenport, lowa,
stopped a respectable citizen in the street
a few days ago, and throwing her arms
around him kissed him ingloriously, ex
claimimy., at the same time: " I am on wo
man's rights this morning." The aston
ished kisses shoved the assailant off the
sidewalk, whereupon she had him arrest
ed for disturbing the peace.
—An Israelite lady, sitting in the same
box at au opera with a physician, was
much troubled with ennui, and happened
to gape. "Excuse me, madame," said
the doctor, "I am glad you did not swal
low me." "Give yourself no uneasiness,"
replied the lady, am a Jewess, and
never eat pork."
—As cool a person, under the circum
stances, as ever we heard of, was a young
nobleman, who,
in a frightful railroad
accident, missed his valet. One of the
guards came up to him and said: "My
lord, we have found your servant, but he
is cut in two." "Ah, is he?" said the
young man with a dreary drawl, but with
a shade of anxiety depicted on his counte
nance; "will you be kind enough to see
in which half he has the key of my carpet
bag?"
—"Charles Augustus, how do you like
my new bonnet, just from Madame Gay
lark?" asked Araminta Euphrosina,ye4l
- on Gold-front avenue. "Very
much, aw very much, my dear. You
always look so very charming, you do.
But my dear, where the deuce is it,

Araminta explains that it is directly on
the top of her head, but is shaded by a
love of a r
