GEN. JOHN BRISitIN, who was formerly
a resident of Tunkhan flock, died at New
ark, N. J., on Monday. He, was formerly
,a Member of Congre4, and becoming en
gaged in railroads,''achieved a repitation
and secured a large fortune.
THE Senate refuses to confirm several
of t h e appointments of Censris Supervi
sors. Members of Congress and Senitors
complain that they have not been consid
ered in selecting the Supervisors, and it
is probable that a large number will fail
of confirmation.
THERE is an opinion prevailing
throughout the country, that those who
neglected ti apply for pensions_ until af
ter January 1, 1880, will not receive ar
rears, but only from date. of application.
such,, however, is not the case, as the law
'will remain in force until' A July 1, 1880.
n ' )' THE recent statement of Secretary
SHERMAN, concerning the public debt,
shows a decrease during the past month
111,000,000. This - should be gratifying
ta the people-at large, and at the same.
time is highly creditable to the financial`
skill and consumniate ability of the •Sec
retary-of the Treasury.

Canada, 4tv - bent in the small hours of lYed
y.es lay morn*, masked men massacred
a whole family, including both parpts,
two sons and a niece, and then burned

the house. For the credit of human na

A Cnixr.sit wash house in San Francis

au oft-repeated desire to be cremated in
casse of death. Miss If. was a bright, in
. tulligent young lady of 18. The family
are Swenborgians, and have no gloomy
ideas in regard to death or a future state,
and all the services were as little of a

QVINCY Arians, 105,321 ; :Wlt.tuat H.
CRAWFORD, 44,282; lIENur CLAY, 40,587.
i.! , t) i t Will to seen that JACKSON did net
receive a majority or the popularroote.
In that year the, eleclors of Delaware,
Georeia, Louisiana, New York, South
Carolina Lud Vermont were chosen b'
the State Legbdatures, and no trouble was
c.utsed by their adopting a plan to which
they had, and still have, a perfectly con

Ma. PARNELL, the Irish agitator, has
disgusted and alie - nated the men who
were disposed to actively aid him in
relieving the sufferings of starving- Ice
land. Ile has attempted to dictate
!through what channel the contributions
rlunild be sent, and assailed some of the
tilled and distinguished persons in Great
Britain who are intelested in relieving
Itish distress. F ile manifests more desire
to agitate political_ questions, than to re.
ceive material aid, and his agrarian views
do not suit many of those who are ready
to give theitmOn4 to, buy food for the

Ar.yrrouon the bill for the abolition of
slavery in Cuba has passed the Cortes, it
by no means follows that emancipation or
even the beginning of the emancipatory
'process is near at hand. The financial
difficulty is the greatest, and this remains
to be overcome. As the Spanish govern
ment proposes to reimburse the slave-own
ers for their human chattels, the, execu
tion of the contemplated change involves
an enormous outlay: The treasury of
Spain has long been in a condition of im
pecuniosity, and there is very little• pros
pect of realizing the necessary sum out of
the•(Luban revenues.
THE chroic gnimblens and shsnderprs
-should not receive encouragement this
year. The Republican party can't afford
tolerate them. What we need and
must have is harmonious good feeling.
Let those unhappy and evil-minded peo
ple who are continually depreciating some
prominent Republican be severely frOwn
ed upon. 1i is no year for crimination
. and , belittleing our bat men. We have
suffered too much already from the dis
position of some of the guerrillas to cut
•the throats of Republicans they don't
like. We can differ in our preferences
without quarrelling—and it . don't follow
that a tn i an is a rascal because be does - not
lotlieve our candidate the most available.
TnE course of the New York Times in
attacking Secretary Sitzsmax, assailing
his conduct, and misrepresenting his ac.
tions is simply disgraceful. Mr. Suva
xsac's friends hare an unqueible
rigid to cule him as $ proper candidate
for the Presidency, and it is not decent in
any paper professing to desire the MOWS
of the party, to descend to falsehood and
misrepresentations, for the purpose of dew
testing his nomination. Mr. Smaticarr en
joys in large degree, the confidence and
respect of the Republicans of the Nation.
Politically his record is unimpeachable
and Indica'. His Inamikensent of the De 4
partment•over which he preildeslas been
highly creditable, and has gained him the
good opinion of the business men of the
country. He would be an acceptable and
available candidate, despite the petty
maligning* of such papers as the New
York Times.
WHAT'S in a name? Sometimes a great
deal of meaning, though the title of "The
Shepherd's Fold" given to theinstitution
-lately investigated in New York would
not give a correct idea of the ciWe exer
cised by those in charge of the — lambs
gathered within the fold. • It was au asy
lum for the receiving and adoptinglof
young children, orphans al3d others, man
aged by highly reputable persons, the
Superintendent being Rev. Mr. COWLET.
The NeW York Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children made a complaint
against the Rev. Superintendent of brutal
practices towards the children placed in
his charge, and the evidence afrwed a
state of affairs in'tbe Fold which Was dia.
graceful. The modes of punishment were
brutal and the children were literally
starved.

Gov. Davis, of Maine, delivered his
inaugural address last week, and in refer
auce to the late difficulties be says :
" There can be no, half-way ground in
regard to this great public wrong, which,
should receive the Condemnation of every
honest citizen, that it may serve as a ,
warming in the future to those who, un
der a free Gpvernment, may attempt to
trample upon the rights of the people. I
would recommend an investigation of the
whole subject of arranging, tabulating
and counting the returns, that the facts,
as ascertained, may be made public." He
congratulates the people that during all
the excitement through wh.ch they passed
they maintained law and order, and that
our represen.ative Gcvernment has shown
itself strong enough to stand the test of
such a strain upon its fabric.
Those anxious mortals who antici
pated with trembling expectancy that
the Harrisburg Conention was to be
followed by an avalanche or ai earth
quake shaking this good oft Com
monwealth. to its centre, will prob,
ably be disappointed that the Con
vention has assembled, the usual dis
cussions been indulged in,
.resolu
tions of instruction carried by a bare
majority, and the delegates returning
to their jaomes, the busineis of the
State goes on as peacefully and pros
perously as ever. And if there was
anybody sanguine iniiugh to antici
pate that the action of the Conven
tion was- to start a boom whose vol
ume and force would carry a Presi
dential candidate into the White
House, without encountering opposi
tion, that credulous individual must
be by this time convinced of his mis
take, even though he judges those
who differ with him as the single
juror does his eleven obstinate col
leagues.
The State Convention which as-,
sembled at Harrisburg last week com
prised amongst its members, an
usually large number of independent
and representative Republicans, who
were animated by a controlling de
sire to shape the coming action of
the party in such .a manner as best
to promote success. There was , also
present the usual fictions or dis
turbing element, whidh is ready to
incur the danger of spromoting dis
cord, exciting passions, or provok
ing defeat, if their dieilike of promi
nent members of the party can be
gratified by personal assaults. But
on the Whole, the proceedings of the
Convention were marked by a spirit
of forbearance and toleration, and of
cheerful acquiescence in the results.
Undee,ordinary circumstances, a
vote of instructions for a particular
candidate; coupled with the instruc
tion to vote as a unit would be ac
cepted as the voice of the State, and
carry with it much weight. The vote
of the late Convention, which by a
majority of twenty pledged the dele
gation to Gen. GRANT is variously
commented upon throughout the
union. The expressions of opinion
as to its value are widely different.
The enthusiastic Men& of the great
chieftain accept it as'the voice of the
Commonwealth, and declare that It
ensures his nomination at Chicago.
The partizans of other aspirants, be
cause the expression was not given
unanimously, claim that it ends-all
hope of his 'being chosen as the
standard bearer of the party, and
assert that he Will before the meeting
of the ConventiOn see the propriety
and necessity of withdrawing his
name from the, contest.
With neither of these conclusions
do we fully a rei ih
e'. Remembering
how but a fey} -; ort months since,
the whole coufitibexcited and alarm
ed by the diselosiire of the plans of
the Democracy, turned instinctively
toward Gen. ; GRANT 1111 the man who
was to lead ;Ole Republican hosts to
political victory as he had led the
armies of the Union, and knowing
that the same' dangers now threaten
us, though"irefully and skillfully
concealed, it is not laying too much
to assert thiit the flimsy veil may any
THE STATE COST ENTION.
day be droppmtlandLthe foibidding
features of ConkdCrate designs spin
becoming spparent, it is not beyond
the possibilitiesi' that tetbrel the
Chicago Convention meths the loyal
North, u one man, may proclaim
that the:security of the Nation, If
not the very existence of the Union,
call for the election and inauguration
of t,Gen. GRANT to the Presidency.
It is possible that the fears of the
people-were undali_excited, that they
were unnecessarily alarmed,',,by the
proceedings in Congress, but there is
no denying the fact that the sure
hension was general, and the belief
universal, that there was a settled
plan to. get control of the govern.
ment, and undo all that had been
achieved and settled with such tre
mendous cost. The attempt to sub
vett the popular will in Maine, and
steal the State in defiance of the,
plainly expressed verdict of the ' ,
people, is but a part of the Demo
cratic scheme for usurping the gov
ernment, and gaining cotrol,of all
the immense patronage and - power
connected therewith. Once intrench
ed in all the departments of the gov
ernment, they would find means to
thwart the combined efforts of the
North to dislodge them. The danger
of this is as imminent now, as it ever
was in the past history of the
country, and it may become an im
portant consideration in determining
whO shall be the nominee of the
party.
We do not look upon booms as
being of any account, nor resolutions
of instruct-tom , by this or any other
State, 'as being calculated to advance
the interests of any particular candi
date. The calm and temperate dis
cussion of the possibilities and the
availbility of the different persons
suggested for, the nomination, is cal
culated to be pf great benefit. The
action of the Chicago Convention is
likely to be based upon considers=
tions of success in the struggle which
is to take place, and the delegates
will be governed, we have no doubt,
by a desire to achieve victory, and
save the country. There never was
a better and more determined feeling
amongst the masses of Republican
voters. There never was less of parti
zanship, nor of prejudice. There is an
all-absorbing desire thatthe man shall
be nominated who will best unite and
bring out the Republican vote. There
is probably a wide difference of ,
opinion as to who that man is, but it
is highly probable that before the
Chicago ,Convention 'assembles the
situation will becsime so plain, that
there can be no 'mistaking what is
proper to be' done, and that the. Re
publican party • will unitedly and en
thusiastically march on- to victory.
We are not ready to believe that a
blind, and obstinate persistence :in
pushing the nomination of any candi
date,' regardless of the consequences,
is to govern any leading Republican
at Chicago. We have every - confi
dence in the sagacity and patriotism
of the men-whose votes and counsels
will have much weight in determining
the choice of that body. They are
as much cotcerned for the future
welfare of the party and the country,
as men can be, and they will en
deavor to act wisely and ho estly.
It is the dictate of pruden e and
fair-dealing to alio* every Itepubli
can the privilege of entertaining and
expressing his opinions and prefer
endes, of conceding that he is
actuated by proper motives, and
ahould the decision , not tally with
our individual judgdient, to lay aside
our personal preferences and cheer
fully acquiesce in the action of the
Convention.
JUST exactly why some men were placed
on this sublunary sphere has always
been a matter of wonderment taus. They
are decidedly too good for this wicked
world. They should never be obliged to
come in contact with the gross material
ism and the grovelling instincts which
characterize common mortals. They are
tit for immediate translation to that bet:
Mr world where the "wicked cease for
troubling," and where their pure and
perfect natures would enjoy the repose of
perfection. That such men should dabble
in the dirty pop) of politics is not tole
expected ; they abhor the ways of politi
cians, and, except to occasionally =ri
fest their disgust and disapprobation, they
take no part• in the politics of the day.
Generally, they are not even "scratchers,"
as they do not stoop to go to the polls
with the low rabble which enjoys the
privilege of voting. They are content
with turning up their lordly noses, tiro
testing and showing their d 1 pleasure
with things generally. Thelatist mani
festation ofi this super-rlghtemarness is
given in an address issued iu Philadelphia,
and signed by quite a number of: distin
guished an? honorable gentlemen. It is
an exquisite exhibition of-conceit: The
following paragraph is a sample :
" We have no candidate to suggest; nor do we
deem it titling to specify by name any whom we
might feel compelled_ to repel. We may say,
briefly, however, that the number of Republicans
Is very large who cannot be relied upon to support
on the one hand one whose tundidacy would violate
a tradition which has become tutor the unwritten
law of the natica ; nor on the other, one who ns..
garde the skillful use of patronage for personal
ends as the highest functions of a statesman; nor
one whose past Inability to resist temptation would
put his supporters on the defensive throughout the
campaign ; nor one whose personal ambition may
lead him to regard the public service as a mere
Instrumentality for furthering his own ends, and
whose convictions are but expressions of temporary
political expediency."
This disposes of GUANT, SHERMAN,
BLAINE and CONKLING. In fact, we don't
suppose one of the signers to this sweep
ing condemnation of prominent candidates
would be willing to admit that there was
any person excepting himself fit to be
President ! Will the world will revolve
and the country prosper should the admo
nitions of these "unto good" not be
heeded.
AT vat Harrisburg Convention Mr.
Bums had many professed followers
who, in reality, only used his name and
the regard of our people for the Maine
statesman for the purpose of advancing
their Om selfish ends or of gratifying
their personal malignity. They would
quite as readily have been zealous tinium
men, could•they thereby have antagonized
somebody. It is unfortunate that in these
deliberationc, which skald In conducted

- bad their
n • wise muse betel' followed. They cared
foe dealing PAIMON a blow than
they did tp promoted's prospects of the
candidate they were profeeledly support
ing. In niarked contrast with these exhi
bitions of spiteful malevolence were the
prudent commis of Gen. BIXONAN, who
sought to restrain the passions of those
who were using the name of &razz to
his destrtiction. :His good advice did
much to promote and good feet
big, and to makei it possible, if not proba
ble, that under certain contingencies the
solid vote of, the Pennsylvania delegation
wig make B LINE the Presidential candi
date.
Ws ant .rmewhat bewildered in trying
to consider and reconcile the different
opinions as -to the result of the meet
Convention at Harrisburg. Trnly, as the
copy book used to say, these are "many
men of many minds." We fear that the
judgment of some of our ootemporaries is
colored by their prejudices. One claims
it as a victory for Gkestr—another sip it
is a personal victory for Calinos!, but
disposes of GRANT'S chances—still another_
/that it is a victory more disastrous than
a defeat. Thit rabid anti-Gnarrr paper,
the New York Sun; says : "Itis no use
to try to explain away the anti-Gnarl.
defeat in I ' Pennsylvania. The most confi
dent of the GRANT men could hardly have
hoped fOr anything better." Now we
advise the readers of the RICPORTER not
to get excited over the comments of any
of these newspapers. And they have the
piivilege of placing just what estimate
they please upon the results of the Con
vention. It don't matter whether they
call it a BLAINE *triumph or a GRANT
victory, if they will only keep cool and be
prepared to support the candidate of the
party. That's the main thing ; and all
this preliminary dismission will do no
harm, if everybody is allowed to entertain
and express their individual opinions and
preferences.
TUB terrible explosive properties of.
nitro-glycerine was shown on Monday at
Bradford, Pa., by two men named HACK
ETT and FEENEY, who started from that
city to COleville in a two-horse sleigh,
carrying with them a hundred pounds of
the dangerous compound. Four miles
from Bradford the sleigh upset; which
caused an explosion. FEENEY juniped
from the sleigh just as it was going over.
HACKETT was thrown fifty feet from the
scene and instantly killed, his body being
horribly mangled. His right leg wasshat
tered into a mass of shapeless flesh, and
his side and shoulder were shockingly
torn. A hole was torn in the frozen road
bed twenty feet in length and fifteen in
widths In this excavation Paisley was
found . covered with the debris but still
alive. His escape, from instant death is
regarded as almost a miracle. The sleigh
was blowit to atoms, and both horses were ..
killed. The house of Cnsumni Zziatv,
one-and-a-half-story framed building, fifty
feet distant, was shaken to pieces by ,the
concussion. Mrs. ZELEY was sitting in
the house at the time, but'escaped serious
injury. A -large frame dwelling-house,
occupied by HENRY DOLLOP?, five rods
away, was also completely wrecked, but
'did not fall. Mrs. DOLLOPP and sic chil
dren were in the building at the time, but
suffered no further injury than a terrible
shock.
THE following appeared editorially in
the New , York Time. of Tuesday, and is
claimed as officially defining the position
of Gen: GRANT as regards the Presiden
tial nomination : " A near personal and
political friend of ez-PrefidEnt GRANT,
who, doubtless, knows whereof he speaks,
authorizes the following as a correct
statement of the General's position with
refenuica to the Presidency. He says :
General GRANT is not now, nor has he
ever been, a candidate for Presidential
nomination. But should the Republican
National Convention nominate him in the
same manner as any : other candidate
would he nominated, be; would deem it
his duty to the country rind the party to
accept. Traveling abroad he was a
stranger to the 1-contest now going on for
the Presidential nomination, and has writ
ten no letters on the subject to any per
son,,and all assertions to the contrary are
without foundation in fact.' "

It is now nearly seven years since Char.
ley Rnsa was lost to his parents. His
father has unceasingly pursued the search
sitar him, following innumerable clues,
traveling thousands of miles, and spend
ing thousands of dollars. The only result
has been the knowledge that it is probable
that the burglars killed on Staten Island
Were concerned in the abduction. But of
the child no trace was' ever found. Not
withstanding the lapse of time, it is of
frequent occurrence to, hear the news
boys crying "all abont Charlie Roes!'
and to find that some new rumor has
been started. The latest sensation was
started in the papers last week, but it
had no foundation and quickly subsided.
The city turned out-a large delegation
to the Harrisburg Convention, who all re
turned in good humor, and the occurren
ces there having been discussed for a day
or two, all is quiet along the lines.. There
is absolutely oo feeling nor excitement
here upon the Presidential question.
This may in part be hiring, to the fact
that the municipal ehction, takes place
on the 17th, and the politichrns are more
interested in local matters' than as to who
shall 'be the nominee at Chicago. There
is very little trouble in the Republican
ranks, as the' nominations are generally
acceptable, but in two or three wards the
"kickers" as they are called, are making
things lively.

The big snow storm last week was of

first 8104. It pat many dollars into the
pockets of poor men, earned by cleaning
off sidewalks, and it made a spirited in
quiry fOr-warm Aothhig, overshoes and

these articles bad 'previously, a very bad

they did not need. • Now their trade is
"booming."
While a - party Of boys were engaged in
snow-balling in ; a small . street, near •
Tweity-third and Walnut streets, at
noon Friday, they soddenly came upcin
the dead body of an infant buried in the,

On Wednesday night, soon after the

and' amused themselves by taking
"shocks," holding on to J ona wire and
touching the other lightly with the fin

time, to the immanent of U concerned,
when one of the young men who," wasn't
afraid," walked boldly up and grasped
both wires firmly.. He had scarcely done
so, .however, when be bitterly repented of
his rashness. As the current gained in ,
fluenoe over him, be became powerless to•
let go, and could scarcely shout to be re
leased. Two or three companions ran to
his assistance, and with difficulty dragged
him loose ; not, however, without disen
gaging one of the wires, by which part of
the lights were extinguished.

leading broker,' but on her return and ex
hibition of her marriage certificate was
restored "to her- parents' affections. Al

died miserably after a short time. She

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, p. C., Fain :Sty 11, IMO
The report of the committee who hives-,
tigated the charges . against dismissed
Commissioner Hayt has been laid before
the Secretary of the. luteiior. While it
adjudges him guilty, it approves the ac
tion of the Secretary in promptly dis
charging him. In this connection it may
be asked; why was be appointed? since
it is quite notorious that at that time be
was engaged in the manufacture of oleo
margarine and has continued ever since.
That circumstance alone should have de
cided his cue, at once showing to the
public as it did, what his ideas of official
integrity would probably be.
The indications now are that Mr. Blaine
will have the support of She two delegates
to hien° from this District.
The big little tight in North Carolina
between the Sherman and Grant Republi
cans of that State over the selection of
delegates to the Chicago Convention, is
creating considerable interest here. It is
claimed by Mr. Keogh and other Grant
leaders that the fight is Sherman and his
appointees under the Government against
the wishes of the Republicans of tie entire
State. . •
The time has cone when the Govern
meat of the United States must tab some
decided steps to control the acmitruction
of the canal scram the Isthmus of Pan
ama. The necessities of : commerce and
trade demand that the barrier between
the two oceans be removed, and De Lee
imps is, only expressing the advanced men
bunts of all commercial 1111U01111: The
passage of the canal through a semivivi-
Used country requires the guarantee of
some powerful Government ; unless this
Govenunentean and will extend the need
ed protection it cannot afford to insist
upon the enforcement of the Monroe doc
trine against France or England, whose
interests as weir as ours demand an early
completion of that highway. The people
of this country are lady to stand by the
Itcstree doctrine, and insist that foreign
governments shall not, upon any pretext,
obtain a foothold upon this continent.
This doctrine should be amemted most
emphatiCidly, and the great work should
be done under the control of our own
Government. Once let a French Colony
be established upon the Isthmus and how
long before the French Government will
be called mein to protect it, and thereby
extend its inflame and power against
the 'United States. The matter deserves
the. serious and 'immediate &detain of
ficormai ilowASIO•
Reliabiloan &atm Opvention.
Hassismo ' Feb. 4.LTfie, Con-
M
incelloaondisd at , noon, sad Hon.
Bung BrietS, of Pittsbars wm ohos
en *drawn by a rote- of 158 to 92
*rat*? Lawienos. 'Committees
Were appointed on peManent organ
isation, resolutions and contested
seats and a recess was taken for 'din
ner.
The contest was renewed as 80012
as the semi& opened in the - after
noon, but on a side issue, two except
ions being taken to the report of the
Committees on Contested Seats, but
without avail. Mr. Cessna, ot Bed
ford, then renewed his motion for
the appointment of a committee of
nine to report Delegates and Presi
dential Electors, after consultation
with the delegates . ftom districts.
- Mr. Stewart, of Franklin, offered
au amendment making the commit.
tee one from each Congressional dis
trict, referring the district Delegates
back to the members of the Conven
tion from the several districts; the
committee also to report Delegates
already chosen. He defended - his
motion in a speech, claiming that the
right of the districts to choose their
own Delegates had never been ques
tioned until now, and that the con
vention had no more right to name
Ithem than it bad to . nominate mem
hers of Congress. .
Mr. Stewart's amendment was lost
by a vote of 100 yeas to 150 nays,
and Mr. Cessna's resolution was
agreed to:
Senator Herr, of Dauphin, then
arose with the resolution of the day.
Rseolesd, That the delegates elected to
the Republican National Convention from
this State are hereby instructed to - sUpport
for the Preidential nomination General
U; S. Grant, and to vote as a unit upon
all questions that may oome before the
Convention.
Mr. Stone, of Crawford, offered the
following as an amendment.
Rooked, That while we pledge oursel
ves to support the Republican party, we
see no good reason for abandoning the po
sition taken by theparty in our own and
other States in 1876, of opposition to a
third Presidential term, and we hereby
endorse and reaffirm the resolutions pas
-lied by our Mate Convention held in this
city in 1876 upon this question.
Senator Herr, rose to, defend his
resolution. He began by saying that
this applause looked like a preconeert
ed demonstration by irresponsible
parties to suppress the true senti
ment of the State. He thought it
out „of keeping with the character of
the body, and went on. to eulogize
Grant as out captain and the
only man fit to be President.-
Half a dozen Blaine men sprang to
their feet, but General Albright was
the firat to catch the chairman's eye.
He had no tears of a third term, and
the idea bad no terrors for him, but
be could not persuade himself that
Grant was the only man L fit to be
President. There was B Wash
burn„, John 'Sherman 'and James G.
Blaine. He briefly eulogized the
character and abilities of Senator
Blaine, and said this resolution would
not satisfy the people whom they rep
> resented, for it did not in any way
express their sentiments.
General Koontz, of Somerset, fol
lowed in ringing arraignment of the -
Grant administration and one-man
power, and recalled how the unit rule
had been violated by every man who
now urged it, and said they had sac
rificed the State to their own person
al ends. They had immolated Cur
tin and Hartranft, and he could not
consent to Pennsylvania's voice he--
log heard only in corridors dickering
for a Cabinet office.
Mr. Moreland, of Allegheny, fol.
lowed in defence of Grant, and RiCh
ard Darlington, of West Chester, ar
gued that the resolution misrepresent-
ed the .people of the State. Weeks
ago, there was some Grant feeling in
the State„ but it bad all died out, and
in their Delegate Convention, where
they instucted every malt for „Blaine,
there was not one Grant man out of
one hundred and thirty-three,
Mr. Harvey, of Clinton, followed
in. the same vein, and Mr. Stone, of
Crawford; enlarged upon the danger
of putting forward a man who could
not start in sympathy with the whole
party. He then withdreiv his resold ,
tion, but
Mr, Strang, of Tioga, said that he
had been instructed for Blaine, and
he must find some way to carry out
those instructions. He therefore mov
ed to substitute the name of. James
G. Blaine for that of U. S. Grant in
the resolution.
This brought a new element into
the question, for there were many
Blaine men opposed to instructions
of any kind.
A division of the resolution was
called for, and Mr Wolfe rose to
close the debate. He denied that
'the voice in the galleries was any
more than a re-echo of the voice of
almost four millions of people in the
State. He'closed with a eulogy of
- -
General Harty Bingham then arose
as a substitute for Richard Catnpion,
of his district. What he was most.
anxious to do, as the friend of both
parties, was to prevent the antago
nism inevitable, as the resolution was
worded. - He reminded Mr. Blaine's
friends,- of whom he claimed to be
one, that they had only a minority
in the Convention, and that they bad
had fair play all day. There had
been no time when the majority was
not willing to recognize their rights,
and would still accord them thir
proportion of the delegrtion.
General Bingham's remarks bad a
good effect in . pouring oil c•n the wa
, ters, and then the ,roll was called,
and the amendment was rejected-95
I to 154. •
1r The question then being , divided,
the Convention was brought to a di
rect vote on the question of instruct
ing the delegation to vote for Grant,
and on this the vote stood 133 yeas
Ito 113 nays.
The motion to vote °as a unit was
then adopted. The Committee on
Resolutions reported, .and as it was
then growing dark, a recess was talc
l
Upon reassembling at half-past sev
en, the yeas and nays were taken on
the nominations for Auditor General,
and Mr. Lemon was declared the
choice of the Convention-158 to 93.
His nomination has then made unan
imous. The committee of nine to
name delegates te the Chicago Con
vention, and to name Presidential
Electors, made their report, which
was adcoptd. The following is the

Hon. Henry Green was unanimous
ly nominated for Judge Hof the Su
preme Court.
The Committee •on :Aesolutons
then reported the followincr platform,
and It was ratified by the Convention:
Resolved, First—That the, rejoicing
over the steady growth of the national
prosperity, which began in 1870, with the
change of balance of trade in our favor, and
over the successful resumption andonain
tenance of specie payments, we may rea
sonably claim tha financial soundness and
Prosperity of the country as the natural
result of the financial policy we as a par
ty have sustained. ,
_ Second—The resumption of specie pay
ment having been accomplished at the
time appointed by law, and the finances
of the country being in a thoroughly
healthy condition, we regard it as unwise
GO engage in any new attempts at. ,finan
cial legislation. The country is prosper
ions under our financial system as it is,
and we know of no good reason why that
system should now be disturbed.
Third—The persistent efforts of the
I ree-traders' to destroy our tariff piece
meal by legislation. to repeal the duties
on special articles, admonishes us of the
necessity of adhering more strongly than
ever to the tariff policy of the past twen
ty years, which his built up our grand
system of manufactures, fostered the
venues of the government, and prompted
our national prosperity. I The business of
'the country will not bear - the tinkering of
the tariff: aild if any revision of that tar
iff is to be made at all, it should be done
through a commission of capahle men, af
ter a patient a thorough hearing of all
parties to the interests involved.
Fourth—We object most decidedly to
all attempts to enact a now tariff through
the agency of commercial treaties. A
treaty framed, negotiated, discussed and
ratified in secret is floe-a proper method
of regulating the revenues of the govern
ment.
Fiftli;--Tn view of recent events in Con
gress and in the Southern States, and
latterly in the State of Maine, we deem
this a fitting opportunity' to re-affirm our
adherence to the following principle;
viz : First. The union of the States with
equal right; indestructable by any consti
tutional means. Second. Protection to
the person, liberty and prosperity of the
citizen of the United States in each and
every portion of our common country,
wherever he may choose to move, de l
mending of him only obedience to the
laws and proper respect for the rights of
others: Third. Strict integrity.in fulfilling
all our obligations—State arid national.
Fourth. The perfect security of free
thought, free speech and a free press,
alid.of equal rights and privileges to all
men everywhere, irrespective of national
ity, color or religion. Fifth: A free and
pure ballot, thoroughly protected, so that
every man entitled to cast a vote may du
so just once at each election without fear
or molestation, moral or physical, on ac
count of his political faith, nationality or
the hue of his skin. Sixth. Honesty in
elections. The peoplelhaving the virtue
and the patriotism to govern themselves,
'our government must depend for its sta
bility upon honest elections. Until ainan
is considered infamous who casts an
illegal vote - our government will not be
safe ; and whoeVer deprives a citizen of
his right to vote, or of the legal effect of
his vote, is a traitor to our government.
Seventh. An honest count of all the votes
legally,east, and an honest return of who
ever islelected, free from all attempts to
defraud the
.people of their choice through
technicalities or by an arbitrary rejection
of their votes.
Sixth—We extend to the Republicans
of Maine our congratulations over, the
peaceful and successful resistance to an
effort to defraud the people of that State
of the right to choose their own represen
tatives, and to the attempt to steal the
government of that State. Our Republi
can form of government will be a signal -1
failure when any political party can suc
ceed in defying the public will,- as shoal:Cl
by the people at the ballot•box.
Seventh—We deeply regret the grow
ing tendency to throw elections aside on
mere technicalities and informalities.
The right of the people to choose their
public servants is too sacred to bo 'sub
verted upon any pretext that the returns
of election are deficient in some trivial
matter of form.
Eighth—We thank our !Senator and
Representatives at Washington, in. the
last Congress and in this, for their firm
adhesion to Republican principles and
policy, and for their opposition to Demo
era* schemes to renew the obsolete doc
trine of State rights; and 'to cripple the
government by withholding needed ap
propriations in order to coerce legislation
repltaling all national laws fiat protect
the purity of the ballot-box.
Resolved, That the Chairman of the
Republican State Committee is hereby in
structed atd required to - carefully exam
ine whether any person to-day placed , on
the Electoral ticket be legally,,disqualified
from any muse from serving as an Elec
tor, and in case any such , legal - disability
be found, the State Committee shall sub
stitute another name from the lame Con
gressional district.
ResOlutions endorsing the adminis
tration of Governor Hoyt, and pro
viding for the selection -of a State
Central Committee, Were also con
tained in the platform, and were a
dopted with it. After :appointing
the State Committee, the Convention
adjourned sine die.
