Resolved, That .almsed tis-tbe piddle
confidence has been by a.' long , Period of
'official Mismanagement, waste and fraud,
this coovention invites the co-operation
of all citizens of the Commonwealth in
the - earnest effort which the - great con-.
stituency it represents is about to Mahe
to remove from our State administration
every taint of political corruption. The
interest of every Pennsylvanian is directly
and vitally concerned in the eradication
of all unjust usages and ~practices by
which inilividnal•fortnnes may bncreated
at publiecost,and the attempt to do thie
can be made certainly - successfal by the
union of upright and fairmireded amen • of
all parties, and by sustaining candidates
of nnquestiOned abilities rind unspotted
reputations.
Resolved, That this convention appeals
to the people of Pennsylvania for the
support of the candidate for Governor
whom it has - placed in nomination, be
cause his election will , secure at once a
correction of existing ~ wtongs; and the
permanent future prosperity - of the State.
:It asks for his stipportibectiuse he has -
been nominated not to snbierielhe view
or promote the interests of all 7 section or
factien, but to meet the requiremeets of
an urgent and common-need ; because ho
fully represents and in his life and
character fairly illustrates the trio spirit
and principles of popular government;
because he has been an earnest, sincere
and efficient opponent of the frandulent
practices and false doctrines of the party
that has held power through many long
years of misrepresentation and misrule;
because he stands pledged, by the record
of his whole life, to administer his office;
if elected, for the benefit and only for the
benefit of the people ;"because he can be
trusted to secure careful, econoinical'and
responsiblif control of the agents and
officials nd the Treasury of the Com
monwealth ; because he can he relied on
to withstand unfounded and unjust de
mands to the prejudice of public rights;
to oppose with vigor the encroachment of
powerful corporations, and energetically
rqsist the grant to n,ogrrgated capital bf
privileges which could be used to -injure,
hamper and: impede the 'efforts of in
dividuals in the various enferpriies and
fields of labor which the State affords.
and because his action in the past is proof
that his official influence Will be used
hereafter to prevent the mischief . of
special legislation, and to destroy the'
possibility of propiiring the enactment of
any statue - by, the u se of money or any
other corrupt means.
Resolved, That, in preienting
James Thompson for Judge of the Sn

Mr. President and-Gentlemen of the
Convention: I appear this tnornitig in

of the Committee which waited upon me,
to tender to, you, and .through you to, 1
hope, a•majority , of the people, of the this
State, sincere, lieurtfelt, earnest
thanks for the honor which has Been done
~me in nominating me, as the Democratic
ehndidate for Governor of 'this Common-
wealth. (Cheers.] •
The nomination so tendered was urn
solicited by me...,1t came. if I undtirstand
the facts correctly, as ;:tho legitimate,
healthy outgrowth of ptiblic opinion in
this State;. not so much because of any
;eneral conviction of prominent ;ability
in.tbeindividual who hats been selected,
not bemuse of any shining of distinguish.,
ed character which has been. established
hby him, but because throughout this
Commonwealth,having had an opportnn
' ity for nearly a qUarter of a' century of
observing my course and conduct-in pub
lic position, they have attained to the,
belief that, whatever , may be said of , our
candidate, he is neither to be seduced nor,
intimidated in-the performance' of !public
- duty; and that judging by the past, it is
likely tu the future, when the interest of
a class or a clique are upon the onelumd,
and the interests of the people, ripen- the
other, be will stand firmly,with tbatgreat
mass of humanity from which, he sprang
and with which he sympathizes in' every
fibre of his being; 'pet:owe/applause.]
Gentlemen, of this, action.: taken by
.you, -I speak now- Impersonally.:! This
aCtlou takru by yen ;will. sametionpd
and ratified promptly .by no low, by, no
more personal objects, hut , by. patriotic
'motives,-., With honest convictions we go
forward into thecontest r assured that its
result will be triumph. [Cheers.] And
what do we desire? Not merely that
certain men representing us shall hold
public office; nor that niece gratification
of party and passions shall come to us,
but that this Goverpment of ours shall
be holiest and pure, fair and equal in • its
action with regard to all our people, and
above all,-at this juncture, that those re
forms which are necessary in the Govern.
ment of our State, as well as in the Gov
ernment of the United'-States, shall be
secured to the people-by all the agencies
appropriate and adequate to their, attain
ment. The people of this State have de
termined that a Constitutional Conven
tion fairly selected, and representing all
the people of the State, shall be convened
the present year; and that, so far as it is
necessary to meet--the -exigencies of the
times by fundamental changes, this shall
be secured. But 'we kno-t.' that some
thing more than this is necessary; that con
stitutional provisions must be general and
vague in character; at least to a , certain
estent; and that - for the application and
endorsement of sound principles of gov
ernment we mast have rellahle 'men in
public office. An old political Motto and
a favorite one, which you have often heard
is this,'''Principles, not men." I believe
the Litin equivalent for this expression
was placed by Mr. Madison upon his car
riage,-so that he should be constantly re
reminded of the truth which was Supposed
to be contained in it: Well noivgentle
men, I-think under under theetperience
we hate bad in'recent times, 'we 'should
amend this Motto ;-' - we should say'now
'"Principles, and men' to airport them:"
Look to your government--in the States,
look to your gover.:Ment at Washington,
and is it'not rnanifeit thatidthongh good
principles are written hi 'your' fuhdament
al law, although the people are everywhere
desirous that 'they he'apPlieit'yet

'ovine. one additional remark in this
connection.: There has been too much
dispth'sition in our great Commonwealth,
among the pablic to push personal rivalry
a little too "far--a little beyond tlw -limit
of-what was becoming oat expedient." -•
.The result has been that . one State;lati
been comparatively dwarfed in this-great!
Union of ours. Other States have been
more 'potential in the• Federal government,
and have had more influence upon its
action. New York, Virginia,' and Other
States, although no more patriotic, no
more deserving, have ' bad 'a 'little more
eminence and distinction in the Federal
Union than out stable and - • magnificent
State. It has been- . our own' fault, and
the remedy is in our own hands
Let gentlemen in our State who have been
favoredlarred with public approval, who are
iilaced in public station,let them cultivate
magnanimity. and good-will with each
other, and when ability rises in our State
let us cherish it and edeonrage it. When
a man appears to rise a little above the
ordinary level, and bids fair- to attain
public distinction; instead of pulling him
down let us support him, and bid 'him
God:speed. .: Letus have a State , hope and
a. State pride, and cultivate our own men,
and thus assist, directly and indirectly, to
give to' our: State that position- -which
belongs to her in this . American Union:

this' Convention '
--and the spirir which:
"now animates all the gentlemen concer

At the. conclusion -a Mr. Buckalewl
remarks he was" loudly applauded. Mr.
Clvmer, rising amidst tho applanses,said
"May a kind Providence guard and keep
him, may the good people sustain and
support, and may honest men everywhere
and of every political creed rejoice that
thelionr has struck when in him, by him,
