WHAT THE PAPERN NAT.
.
Below we append a- few ibf\the
many notices of the pre_ss of 1, e
ticket nominated at Harrisburg la:
week.
• A thoughtful Republican platform
and really good Republcan candi
dates, ought to make victory easy
to the Republiclin party this year in
Pennsylvania. President _Hayes / has
hada stifficent, if not a hearty, en
doresmpnt. Ilartranft has also been
handsomely and deservedly honored.
Personal disappointments are corn
-mon in party conventions. They
are, in fact, the essential incidents of
humanity. The best average is what
concerns the mass, and that our last
' State Conventi4a has •attains . If
the Republicans of Pennsylvafila are
even reasonable active they can win
the fight in November.—Phila Pregs.
•
It is one that all good citizens can
safely stand upon, and, while depos
iting their ballots for 'the men 'and
the principles which'
. accOmpany
their nomination , feel that \ they are
performing 's duty which, if crowned
with success, cannot fail to contribnte
to the material advancement of the
State.—Mincris' Journal(Rep.)'
The platform is 'a
Manly 'improve
ment on. the •Democratic- deliverence
on the labor question, and gives an
honest endorsenent of Governor
Hartranft's prompt and fearless en,
foreement of law and order' when
turbulence confronted him under the
banner of oppretised industry. For
so much let us be thankful in these
days of political cowardiceand stu
died demagog,' Ph ilodelphia
Times (Anything.)
The platforti is fitrohg and explicit
in demanding the remonetizatioh of
silver and Making it •equally with
gold full legal Wilder. The other_
notibeable thing in it is its straight
forward denunciation of mob viol
ence—a Diaiseworth dsclaration
which will be ' approved by all the
better classeo:-of citizens, • and is in
refreshing contrast to the demagogic
-appeals of the- Deinoeratic Conven
tion.--LN. Herald (Ind.)
' The platform presented to the . peo
pie of Pennsylvania by the Repub
lican Convention is so praiseworthy a
structure, and compares so advanta
geously to itself with the miserable
patchwork of subterfuge and equivo
cation issued by . the Demoeracy, that
it would:'of necessity bring to its
support the entire strength of the

TANENT %CIIMICII \ ANN ADDRESS. _ ,
LIEN LEMEN OF THE' CONVENTION :--I
thank you for the unexpected honor you
have conferred on me. We have assem
bledrb under circumstances win h de mand
of .us the calm consideration. of grave
questions whicii - a ff ect all the versified
interests or the commonwealth We
should discuss them in- a spirit of dor
and fairness, and•witti due. rememb nee
that diversity of opinion is the neces ry
attendant upon independence of thou . I ~
and that In a body so large as this, unit • •
of action now' and harmony in the future
will depend largely upon the , generosity
of consideration which we extend to each
others' views. We' cope with a party un
scrupulous, as it is hungry for the spoils
of - office. They come to this contest With
the desperation of a party, maddened' by
sixteen years of uninterrupted defeat, and
prepared to force a victory by whatever
means may insure success.
We may , justly charge upon the Demo.
,cratic party that they have through years
of persistent misrepresentation and rot
mere partisan purposes excited unneces
sary and mujustifiable antagonism between
ftpitaT and labor until it has culminated
in riot and murder, and the unprovoked
destruction of millions of property essen—
tial to the maintenance of productive kW
Austries. , . .
They haste for some base purpose, in
plain violation of the truth of history, at
tempted to rouse a spirit of insubordina
tion, by knowingly and falsely asserting
that the President of the United States
holds, his office by fraud.
They have fomented discord through
out the ,Union and perpetuated the -embit
tered strife between the north and the
soutti—and have sought, by every means
known to practical demagogues, to unite
the south in hostility to the north, where-' , .
by the interests_of both have been injur
ed, and reconcilia ion ami,peace,postpon
ed for years. - .
They have,.bypibse and partisan pre
y
tense of economy, and by the refusal of
the house of representataves controlled by,
I ernoaatic majority to concur in neces-
L s,,
• legial_ation, defeated the, appropria
tio necessary to the proper maintenance
of _ army and navy, and- the courts' of
the L i ced States, whereby the Indian
frontie has been exposed to the merciless
violence f savage warfare, and peaceable
citizens upon our Southern border expos.
ed to depredations nom their property,
and the insecurity of person and life With
out adequate means of defense. .• . ,
They have left the courts without funds
to pay Ordinary and necessary expenses,
