Hon. James P. Sterrett, the Itupub lit'tm nominee for Judge of tlie Su preme Court, in a gentleman whose f minent qualities both in private life and as a public character are well known and universally acknowledged, Most of his professional life lias been spent in Allegheny county, where he bus built up an unassailable reputft' t'on for those high qualities as a geiv tleman and jurist which fit him in an eminent degree for the elevated position which he now- occupies and to which ho was renominated yester day. He is about fifty years or nge, having been born in a neighboring county of this 8tate, but lias been long engaged in practice at the bar of his count j. He was associated with Hon. J. 1'. Penny for many years in legal practice. In 1802 he was first elected to the President Judgeship of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny county, now the Common Pleas Court No. 1. He was re-elected to the same position in 1872, and among the high testimonials which have been given to his enviable reputation as a Judge is the fact that the Democracy then de clined to put a candidate into the field against him. When Judge Williams died, last spring, Judge sterrett was appointed by the Governor to succeed to the vacancy thus created on the (-Supreme Bench, and he now receives the nomination without opposition. His high character and great legal abilities will insure his election by an overwheming majority. C'APT. w. II. HAKT. Captain W. 15. Hart was born in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, on the 15th day of March, 18-12, and was educated at common schools. At the age of fourteen he commenced to earn his own livelihood by his own seeking us a farm hand. Upon arriv ing at the age of seventeen Le was ap prenticed to the bricklaying business for four years. Having served two and one-half years when the call for the three mouths' troops was made by the Government in ltfi'l, he enlisted as a private in Co. "P,'' 51st Penn'a. Vols, for three years; served with great gallantry in the east and south west, participating in all the battles in which his command was engaged. His good qualities and soldierly bear ing attracted the attention of General Hartranft, who recommended him in a highly flattering manner to Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of "War, for ap pointment as an Assistant Adjutant General of Vols., with the rank of captain ; upon this recommendation and after passing ti credit.. hie ex amination, he was immediately ap pointed and served with General Ilart rauft's permanent command until the close of tho war, being mustered out of service as a volunteer officer under War Department orders, dated Sep tember 19, 1G5. In February, 1807, Captain Hart received an appoint ment to a clerks! dp in the Treasury Department, was promoted to the re sponsible position of Cashier in 1871, (succeeding the" Hon. Thos. Nicholson, whose confidence and friendship Cap tain Hart enjoyed to the end of his predecessor's life. The following ex tract from a privato letter, wriiten in October 1871, by Mr. Nicholson, (af ter Captain Hart had accepted the clerkship) will serve to illustrate the confidence enjoyed by representative men even at that time: "With his pleasing manner, great qualifications, Ktriet integrity he ought to succeed, he must succeed." He is thoroughly acquainted with and qualified for the position, and in his official Intercourse has merely confirmed a previously es tablished reputation for courtesy and integrity not surpassed. HON. J. A. M. PASSMOKK. John Andrew Morrow Pussmore, the nominee for Auditor General, was born in Chester, Pa., in 18o0, and is therefore 42 years of age. He was educated at the State Normal School at Millerstown, being a member of the first class that graduated from that institution. He was admitted to prac tice at the bar in 1800, and commenced his legal career at Pottsville. In 1800 he was appointed General Agent for Pennsylvania of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, to the duties of which position he has since given his principal atten tion, although still retaining his standing at the bar of Luzerne county. He is well known as a man eminently calculated to add strength to the ticket. In the canvass for the nomina tion he has shown what he is able to accomplish by his own untiring exer tions. He is a fluent talker and pos sesses a wonderful fund of energy and pluck as a worker. He will make an able and active State officer.

ENDORSEMENT OP THE NATIONAL AND THE STATE ADMINISTBAT10N8 UECIARATIONS ON VITAL TOPICS. On the whole, the platform Is con sidered the best adopted bv the Re publicans of Pennsylvania in years, and to Messrs. O'Donnell, Elliott, Leeds, McManus, Sniytlic, Knlirht, tind Davis, of Philadelphia, together with lirown, of Alleghany, ami John Cessna, is the credit due. for its con struction and final passage in t he com mittee. Appended is tho full text of the paper: jic. JicprcsrnttdivcB nf the licpuolir.an Porta nf J'ennnitvaiiia, in Mate Convent Inn assemtiled, do resolve' Flint A V 1 1 1 1 c wo recognize and re spect the difi'erences of opinion exist ing among us as to the course pursued by President Hayes towards the South, we are in hearty accord in honoring the patriotic motives which have guided him, and in hoping that the results of this policy will be peace, goodwill, and the complete recogni tion nf the equal rights of all men in every section of t lie country, and to the efforts of his Administration to carry into eflect the principles of the platlorni upon which he was elected we pledge our hearty and cordial sup port. Second. The Electoral Commission having been created at the urgent solicitation of the Democratic party, and after the oft-repeated declarations of its leaders in both houses of Con gress that no faction could cavil at its decisions, we witness with profound astonishment the assaults of that party upon tho august tribunal of its own creation because its decisions disap pointed their expectations of olliciul patronage; which assaults, so faros they seek to impair the confidence of the people in the just title ot'tlie Presi dent to his high office, are equally childish and foolish, hut may become extremely mischievous in assisting to diminish the popular respect lor the decisions of lawful tribunals. Third. We respectfully but earnestly entreat all members of the National and State Legislature to as sist the return of prosperity to thii great country by adopting such measures to that end as arc in their power; to devote less attention to partisan strife, and more attention to the business interests of the country, in order that wise and proper laws tuny be passed to lessen the burdens of labor and increase its rewards ; to en courage, and restore to activity legiti mate industrial enterprises, and to en able the country to find a foreign mar ket for its surplus products and manu factures. Fourth. That the Republican party in passing the homestead law iiiagu rated ami is firmly committed to the policy that the public lands be long to the people, and should be sacredly reserved to actual settlers free of cost to whoever will occupy them in good faith, and that all laws permitting the acquisition of more than one hundred und sixty acres of such public land by any one person should lie repealed. Fifth. That we are opposed to the policy hert tolore prevail uig ot renew ing patents by act of Congress, and we favor such a revision of the patent laws as will hereafter prevent the re newal of any patent. Sixth. That the long and successful existence, under the laws of Congress, of the double-coin ctuudaru warrants us in demanding an early repeal of the legislation which demonetized silver and established an almost ex elusive nold standard.-and we there fore favor a return to the free use and unrestricted coinage of the 4pllnr of and its restoration to the position it held as a legal tender during the eighty years of our national existence, thus preserving the equality ot the commercial value of the silver dollar with the gold dollar, keeping both in circulation. Seventh. That the administration of Governor Hartranft calls tor our warmest approbation. He has estab lished a State plicy which has justly endeared him to the people of this Commonwealth, and has amply justi fied tho conlulence placed in him. The steady reduction of the State debt during his administration and the successful refunding of a large portion of the debt at a lower rate of interest are the best possible evidences that the State has been well ami ecnonii cally maintained, and that the people nave e ci viiiiiiir t nope num u con tinuance .of the Republican party in power. Eighth. Wc are in favor of law, and against lawlessness and auaachy with nil their attendant horrors and crimes. Equal rights in making laws impose eciual duties in oheymjr inem when made, and we tender our hearty thanks to Governor Hartranft and the officers anil soldiers of his command forthe prompt, and we hope the effec tual, suppression of the luvvlcss distur bances wnicu recenuy oecuneu in this State. t Ninth. That we hold in equal re spect the right of capital to control its investments, and of labor to determine the value of its service. That we de precate any assertion by violence of the rights of either, and we assert it as the duty of all citizens to hold their itr... t.i. . l:.,.l respective rigius wnuii uic j uni. limi tations of tho law, and that any at tempt to coerce either by unlawful means should be properly repressed by such lawful authority as the ex igency demands. Tenth., That the Democratic, party of Pennsylvania is afraid to express a decided opinion on any question of present political importance, except its open declaration in favor of free trade, and that it still cherishes the delusion that expressions of political opinions ought either to mean any thing or nothing, as may best tend to secure the restoration of that party to the control of the offices and the trcas ury of the Commonwealth. e are confident that the intelligent citizens of this great State will continue to en trust the conduct of its affairs to the party which has been zealous in the maintenance of its credit, vigilant in defence of its honor, prompt in the enforcement of its law's, and whose past administration of its government has been honest and competent, and fearlessly faithful to the best interests of all men of whatever class, race, or condition within her border. Eleventh. That we renew our oft repeated declarations in favor of adequate protection to American in dustry, and now that manufacturers are languishing and workiugmen are out of employment, the common in terest demands a still closer adherence to the protective policy which the Re publicans of Pennsylvania have al ways sustained. ' The country has never yet prospered under free trade, s it never can or will, aul, as all tariffs are levied primarily for revenue, it would be a bad govern- mcnt which is not Just enough to lis people to arrange its revenue imports so as to encourago and build up the growth of home manufacture. Twelfth. That we favor such legis lation in Stale affairs as will first substitute adequate salaries for fees ; second, securo our municipalities from the dangers that, attend the ex isting facilities for contracting debt, and third, provide adequate guards against a recurrence of the frequent and large losses to which the people who do business with banks and bank ing institutions have heretofore been subject.
