most superb acting of Miss UllaKlaie,
who lu this as well as tbe several

The' Republican State Committee
thus early announces the opening of
its Headquarters, and asks the prompt
oo-operatlon of all active Republicans,
ro tbe end that tbe details of what
nust prove a great canvass may re
ceive the most careful attention.
The Harrlsburg Convention luissub
wltted to the aufierage of the people a
great ticket t td ju glorious .platform.

Uniopprtbe States was Imperilled but
his deeds and sufferings for tbe cause
place him lu tbe front ratik of the heroes
of that war. - As Republicans we vowed
in Its darker hours that -political in
gratitude should never be shown to any
of these heroes, "all other things being
equal." In this instance all other
things are more than .equalled; they
are excelled in so far that our maimed
soldier candidate for Governor embod
ies all the higher qualities of the states

ya a:rule good, things In politics
which come to stay, come step by step,
the pnee increasing only as all become
jtor and more ready to receive. The
ppogrtM of the Repuldican party forei-btj-
attests a -fact which has grown
into a mafim. In iu ih fancy the
.party could but announce iu opposi
tion to the further extension of slavery.
Extension once forbiden. its. wismt
cuauipwn the martyred Lincoln
patiently struggled in the earlieryears
ot his first adiuinitration for com pen -
sated Emancipation. His appeals were
rejected by the parties interested.
War's grim necessity emancipated,
and tiiefi a great struggle followed for
equality before- tire law but another
step; and one .which looks timid now
vet , which was bold 'enough... then .
Civil- rights accoiiipllehed, manhood
sufJerage came through even more
paiuful sUges. To have demanded the
greater boou from the beginulug the
linal step which included and outreach
all the others would liavc led to a
fatal slip. The men who proved their
prowess In these struggles were those',
who had the wisdom to guide wtih
care and good cheer, aud so to stand
with the people as not to lose their
opportunities for increasing usefulness.
Or such were- Lincoln, Steveus, Gar
field. '
And now the Republican party of
our, Suite having aided iu securing
huihaii: rights through legal forma, iu
its feVfit Convention wisely directed
IU attention to the growth of liberty .lu
primary action. In Republican Gov
ernment it is frequently wise in citi
tens to imitate iu the forms of volun
tary political action those laid down
by the law, for in this way all the peo
ple become familiar with the law, and
Lits workings; the exceptions point to
times and occasions when it Is desir
able to change the law, aud to prepuru
sentiment for that Change.' The con
stitutional law of Pennsylvania fixes
the number of Senator and Represen
tatives at 251, a maximum which tbe
platform preserves In the selection of
Delegates to future State Conventions,
but it at the same time wisely protects
the primary right of each Republican
voter lu the declaration that delegate
shall beselected as Senators and Re
resen tat Ives are selected. This Is pop
ular aud representative sutfragecarried
Into, primary actipn, giving, to) local
sovereignty t he say whether It shall be
popular or representative. Either is a
great advance, and in the advance the
party of the State baa ouly refrained
from Interference . with the right of
home rnle ip primary details.
Loo'i carefully at tbe platform, and
you will see not only successive but
culminating ttepe to every 'remedy,
and steps pointing to every liberty
which wisdom can sug-rest. These are
reforms of to day. Only evenomed
sophistry can call them reforms of to
morrow. The ticket which high
honor recognizes every element of the
party; tbe platform embodies every
principle which tbe knowledge of men
In dispassionate conference, commit
tee.or convention, could suggest as
abreast of the timea.
The Republican party redeems Its
pledges. It has never forfeited iU
word, and neither misconstruction nor
taunt cau shake Its record or purtiose
in this regard.- Accomplished reforms
will be maintained, promised reforms
will be realized, and that they may be.

w.Uch to-day represents a reaction op

object, the Republicans of Pennsylva

with it aloue decide tlie great iswuts of
the conflict.
Aud the better to do this let all Re
