At half past nine o'clock jesterday morn ing caucus of the delegates convened in the Grand opera house. Russell Errctt called the meeting to order and said that its ohject was to harmonize all differences that might exist and thus facilitate the business of the convention. Senator Strang and lion. II. Jones Brooke were nominated for chairman. Mr. Strang was elected on the first ballot, the vote standing 10G to 41. The following committee was ap minted to report the order of business : llussell Errett, W. P,. Maim, O. J. Dickey, John Hall, J. H. M'Afec, Lucius llogers, II. Jones Drooke, George Lear and A. G. Henry. Mr. Mann moved that as five represen tatives of the Pennsylvania republican as sociation of Washington were in the city, they be accorded the privilege of the floor during the session of the convention and le entitled to one vote. Mr. Dickey oppossed the latter part of the proposition ou the ground that only constituencies actually inhabiting the terri tory of the state should be represented. After further debate the motion was withdrawn. The committee on business reported the following as the result of their delibera tions : 1. Election of temporary chairman and secretaries. 2. Appointment of committees, viz : Oa permanent organization, consisting of one from each senatorial district to be designa ted by the delegates from each senatorial district respectively. On resolutions (nine). On credentials (nine). 3. Order of nominations ; I. Judge t;f the supreme court. II. Lieutenant governor. III. Auditor general. IV. Secretary of internal affairs. The report of the committee placing the judge before the lieutenant governor in the order of nomination resulted in a very bit ter fiht. Mr. Brooke stated that the rejort had not been adopted without opposition. Mr. Lawrence moved that the report be so changed as to provide for the nomina tion of lieutenant governor first. Mr. Mann said the dignity and charac ter of the judicial office demanded that it take precedence. General Kooutz held that upon the ques tion of precedence the order to govern this body should be that laid down, iu the na tional and .state constitutions, where the legislative branch, 'which made the law, came first ; next the executive branch, which carried the law into effect, and lastly the judiciary. Mr. Brooke stated that at the last repub lican state convention the state treasurer was nominated before the supreme judge. After some discussion a Vote was taken on the amendment and it was declared de feated on a call of the yeas and nays. Major Howell, of'Easton, and others de clared that the tally kept by him and sev cr:d other dck'g;.tcs showed that the result was just the contrary. He said that the fi ijndsof Judge Butier had been deliberatc ly counted out and denounced the action. A jerfect Babel ensued, and to avoid an interminable wrangle the caucus was ad journed, amid much confusion, with the understanding that the convention should adopt its own order of business. THE CONVENTION. The convention met at twelve o'clock. William B. Mann nominated Hon. George Lear, of Bucks county, for tem porary chairman. W. II. Koontz nominated Gen. William Lillev, of Carbon county. The ballott resulted :Lear, 138 ; Lillev, 101. Mr. Lear was conducted to the stage my Gen. Lillcy. Mr. Lear spoke as follows : 'Gentlemen of the Convention : Allow me to thank you for the honor conferred by selecting me to preside over your delib erations. I can show my thanks best by saying little. We have an increased num ber of delegates in this convention and have a large ticket to nominate. Unusual im portance attaches to our action, as wc have for the first time a judge of the supreme court to appoint The rent of our nominees will be op po.sey by men s:et up by fragments of dif ferent organizations by organizations, to use the words of a gentleman lately come before the public, 'dwelling on the ragged edges of anxiety and despair.'" Mr. Lear closed his remai ks by counselling harmony and agaiii thanking the convention for honoring him with the position of tempor ary chairman. Mr. Koontz moved the appointment of a committee of seven on contested seats. Mr. Maun moved the appointment of a committee of fifty one from each senato rial district on permanent organization. A committee of nine to draft resolutions was also ordered. The following gentlemen composed the committee on resolutions : Kiisst-11 Errett, William 1-. Littleton H. H. Bingham, H. T. Darlington, O. J. Dickey.' Edgar Pinchot, George V. Law rence, S. W. Alvord and John M. Thomp son. On motion the convention took a recess until three o'clock. PERM A N ENT ORGANIZATION. The committee on permanent organiza tion met after the adjournment of the con vention, Mr. Mann was elected chairman. For permanent chairman James S. Ila- tan, B. B. Strang and George V. Law rence were placed in nomination. Colonel Gobin, of Lebanon, said the re publican party could not afford to put Sena tor liutau in the chair. His connection with the Vienna commission and other questionable matters rendered him a very unfit man. The contest in October would be a hard one, and it would not do to go into the campaign with such a load. Un less his name was withdrawn the fight would be carried into the convention. Mr. Rceder, of Xorthamptou, charged Gobin with preaching discord and throw ing firebrands into the convention. These threats were uncalled for and should not be made. Mr. Waddell wanted a fair vote. If de feated he and his friends would submit gracefully. He thought Mr. Strang the best man to select. 31 r. llutan had presided over a republican convention a few years ago and not acted impartially. Mr. Kooser recognized the necessity of harmony but did not think the way to pro mote it was to cast up false counts. He said that notw ithstanding it had been de cided by a vote ofllG to 103 that the nomination of lieutenant governor should be made first the result was announced to be in favor of the proposition to precede it with the nomination of the supreme judge. He supported Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Hall said that his district had never sent a man to the senate who had repre sented the iutcrcsts of the district better than Mr. Rutan. Col. Gobin thought that some man should be selected who was not identified with cor ruption. For a less offense than that com mitted by Mr. Butan a democratic state convention scouted the claims of an aspirant for chairman last year. He would be hap py to vote for Bill Mann or any other man who had a good record ! Mr. Lawrence's name was withdrawn, and Mr. Rutan was selected by the follow ing vote : Rutan, 28 ; Strang, 20. A motion was made to make the nomi nation unanimous. This did not succeed, several delegates responding ''no !" AFTERNOON SESSION. Mr. Mann, chairman of the committe on organization, reported the following oi cers : President James S. Rutan. Vice Presidents Ed. Loguc, S. S. St rock, James F. Xeal, W. Ellwiu Rowan. J. Emory Bryan, John II. Heigh, W. II. Fernie, Henry S. Eckert, Jonathan Beich ard. Wm. Calder. Samuel Ilovt. Dewitt Bedine. J. B. Cunningham, Joseph C. Gartley, George Bullock, A. D. Frick, D. 31. Jones, John Passmore, Levi Book, J. B. Donley. J. 3Iartiu Shafer, George H. Adisnn, John C. Boyle, A. P. Ileichold. David liobinson, C. Coulter, 31. II. Fenno. Secretaries Edward Scull, Lucius Ro gers, Cyrus T. Free, R. 31. Snolurass, H. L. Taggart, John A Swartz and W. C. Arnold. Doorkeepers S. S. Child and B. F. Burroughs. 3Iajor Howell opposed the adoption of the report and was especially opposed to the head of it (slight applause). He was sure three-fourths of the republicans of the state shared their feeling with him. He was ready to meet a square open fight. He would not support the selection of the com mittee for chairman because he is the head of a notorious ring of this state (hisses mingled with some applausef. He closed with the remark that he had seen half a dozen geese make as loud a noise.. 31 r. Dickey said personal reflect iousvere not in order. 3Iajor Howell claimed to be perfectly in order and said that he did not projxisc to ratify what five or six persons had con cocted after dark a time no doubt selected because their deeds were evil. 31 r. Lawrence objected to harsh words and efforts to prevent a harmonious or ganization. 3Ir. 31ann said that the committee on organization had adopted the report with a unanimity almost unanimous. He was tired of having it constantly asserted that the ring controlled nominations. He de fied any man to show that he ever did a political wrong inside or outside of a con vention, lie had not attempted to force anything down the throats of the delegates. Xeither had he nor his friends threatened to nominate a third man iu case their fa vorite was not successful. If his choice should not be nominated the forty-four del gates from Philadelphia would go home, enter the campaign and roll up 20.000 for the ticket. If any man believed him enough of a scoundrel to do -wrong he wanted him to come and settle it with him. 3Iajor Howell. A tailor cuts the coat of the man whom ho measures. It seems to fit him. 'Question, " "question," resounding loud ly through the hall, A. C. Smith said that much of the disorder was due to outsiders. Some fellow poophoocd 3Ir. Smith's remark, w hen he indignantly declared that he did not come to the convention to be in sulted by delegates or anybody else. He knew his rights and was bound to maintain them. Of course that settled it. After the noise (which at times was deafening) had subsided a vote was taken on the report of the committee, and it was adopted. 3Ir. Rutan stated that he had intended to make a speech, but the time would not allow, All resolutions were ordered to be re ferred to the committee on resolutions with out debate. It was moved by 3Ir. Lawrence that the convention proceed to ballot for a candidate for lieutcnaut governor. The motion was amended by substituting supreme judge. The yeas and nays were taken on the amendment and resulted yeas 130, nays 109. The convention then proceeded to ballot for a candidate for supreme judge, Robert 31. Henderson, of Cumberland ; 31. Rus sell Thayer, of Philadelphia ; James A. Logan, of Westmoreland ; Wm. 31. Hall, of Bedford ; B. F. Juukin, of Perry ; Ed ward 31. Paxson, of Philadelphia, and Wm. Butler, of Chester, were placed in nomina tion. FIRST BALLOT. R. 31. Henderson, 4 31. Bussel Thayer, 1 James A. Logan, 21 Wm. 31. Hall, 13 B. F. Junkiu, 4 Edward 31. Paxson, 14 1 Wm. Butler, 62 Edward 31. Paxson was declared tho nominee amid applause mingled with hisses. On motion the convention proceeded to ballot for a candidate for lieutenant gover nor. 31. Hall Stanton, James L. Graham, J. "C. Flennikcn, A. G. Olmsted, John 31. Devine. Samuel Knoor, Henry 31. Hoyt, Jacob 31. Campbell, James Sill and S. A. Purviancc were nominated. A letter was read from IIou. James Sill, of Erie withdrawing his name as a candi date for lieutenant governor. The vote for liutcnant governor resulted as follows on the FIRST BALLOT. 31. Hall Stanton, James L. Graham, J. C. Flennikcn, A. G. Olmsted, Samuel Knorr, Henry 31. Hoyt, Jacob 31. Campbell, S. A. Purviancc, 4S 24 29 17 42 10 The names of S. A. Purviancc and llenry 31. Hoyt were withdrawn. It was ordered that on each succeeding ballott the candi date having the lowest number of votes should be dropped. SECOND BALLOT. 31. Hall Stanton, James L. Graham, J. C. Flcnnikin, A. G. Olmsted, Samel Knorr, J. 31. Campbell, THIRD BALLOT. 31. Hall Stanton. James L. Graham. A. G. Olmsted. 39 33 27 102 11 30 29 38 155 24 Jacob 31. Campbell. 3!r. Olmsted was declared the nominee for lieutenant governor. General Alh.n was nominated for auditor general by Col. Thompson. Senator Cooper said there were three popular names in this commonwealth Smith, Brown and Jones. I nominate Jones of Susouchanna. In seconding the nomination of 3Ir. Jones Capt. H. F. Beardsly presented a resolution from the republicans of the Wil mot district. This resolution was read, after which tho name of 31 r. Jones was withdrawn at his own request by 3Ir. D. C. Ainey. 31 r. Schaffer, of Allegheny, was also nominated. Before and during the calling of the roll there was much disorder in the convention, and one of the Allegheny delegates did some big repeating for Schaffer. The sergeant-at arms finally led him out of the hall. The ballot resulted: Allen, 197 ; Jones, 18 ; Schaffer, 20. The nomination of Gen. Allen was made unanimous. Ou motion of Thos. X. Cooper Gen. Robert B. Beath was nominated for Secre tary of Internal Affairs by acclamation. William 3L Allison offered the following resolution (which was received with many boisterous ev idences of disapprobation) and asked that it be referred to the committee on resolutions : Jicsolrcd, That this convention has undi minished confidence in the adminstration of President Grant, and in the even of his luting a caudidnte for a third term, it is the judgment of this convention that the peo ple of the Keystone state irrespective of ptirty creeds will rally under his bannerin 1870, with the same enthusiasm that they did in '03 and '72. 31 r. Cooper moved that it be consigued to the tombs of the Capulets. Russell Errett took the hint and buried it deep in his pantaloons pocket. There was another outburst of disorder, when General Koontz remarked that there was evidently too much lager iu the aisle. He described the scenes as disgraceful and as attaching a stigma oa the republican party. The sentiment was endorsed by a few other sober delegates in the convention. THE PLATFORM. Russell Errctt, chairman of the com mittee on resolutions, offered a series of resolutions, which were read, as follows : Resolved 1. That the steady and large reduction of the state and national debt since the republicans have had control of the state and national governments, and the equally steady reduction in taxation, as well as the high character for integrity and efficiency of the state and national ad ministrations, are the best possible evi dences that the commonwealth and the country have been well governed, and that the people have everything to hoe and nothing to fear from the continuance of the republican party in power. Tho I democratic party, as it exists fo-diir, U the same-party in aim, in principle and iu pur pose, that it has always been. It has never retracted any part of the bad record it made both before and during the war, and it has never recanted any of the multitude of errors it has committed. It is the same party to-day that it was when it plunged this state almost hopelessly into debt, and burdened it with a heavy load of taxation ; and the people having driven it from power on account cf its transgressions and shortcomings, to restore it with its num berless sins unrepented of and unatoned for would be an endorsement of that which the people have so often and so thoroughly condemned. 2. The republicans of Pennsylvania having been the first to demand a change iu the constitution that would abolish special legislation and all its attendant evils, and the necessary legislation for the call of a constitutional convention for that purpose having emanated from them, we are justified iu rejoicing to-day over the ac complishment of that great reform and over the delivery of the state from the evil consequences of the old system. 3. The movement for the formation of tho new constitution having been made by the republican party and carried to com pletion under its auspices, the task of put ting in operation the machinery of the new fundamental law belongs to it, of right, and the duty it involves will be as it has been, faithfully performed by it. 4. Inasmuch as great abuses have grown up in this state under our present system of fees as a compensation for county offi cers, we demand such legislation as will allow no more than a fiir and jut com pensation for service rendered. 5. We look with pride and satisfaction upon our common school system, which has grown up under the fostering care of the state ; and it is now munificently en dowed by the annual appropriation from the state, secured to it by the constitution, the state is bound to see that all her chil dren are duly educated under it in the du ties of citizenship, that they may therein become better able to enjoy and perpetuate our popular institutions. G. Wc recognize that as the true policy of government which shall harmonize all the diversified interests and pursuits existing iy a country of such vast extent as ours, and as this can be done only by di recting legislation so as to secure just pro tection and reward to every branch of in dustry we arc in favor of giving prece dence to these measures wdiich shall recog nize agricultural, mining, manufacturing and mechanical pursuits as entitled to the amplest protection and fullest develoji mcnt ; of ptitiiug a stop to large grants of the public domain to railroad corpo rations and reserving it fur settlement and cultivation ; of improving the navi gation of our great inland rivers ; of se curing cheap transportation and profitable markets for the products of agricultural and manufacturing labor ; of encouraging such manufactures as shall bring the pro ducer and consumer iu the neighborhood of each other, and thus to establish mutual relations between them and those engaged in commerce and transportation ; of properly adjusting the relations between capital and labor in order that each may receive a just and equitable share of the profits, and of holding those in the possession of corporate wealth and privileges in strict conformity to the law, so that through combined in fluences people of varied pursuits may be united together iu the common purpose of preserving the honor of the nation ami developing the immense resources of every section of the union, and of advancing the social and mutual prosperity of all its in dustrial and laboring classes. 7. The paralysis which has fallen upon the manufacturing industry of the country within the pxst year, is a fresh evidence of the necessity of that protection to our manufacturing interests for which the re publicans of Pennsylvania have always fought. The reduction of the tarff, ac companied as it was by large increased im portations, not only helped to bring on the panic, but has rendered recovery from it more difficult as well as lamentably slow. 8. The attempt made, just prior to the adjournment of congress, to establish free trade through the agency of a reciprocity treaty with Canada, demands the severest condemnation. It was an effort to ac complish through the treaty making power alone that which belongs properly and of right to the popular pranch of the govern ment, and to put redress out of the people'?? veach for twenty-one years to come. The control over the subject of the national revenue was placed by the constitution in the hands of the immediate ropnventatives of the people, and wc protest against any scheme to take it out of their hands by means of a treaty which the people cannot abrogate or repeal. 9. The frantic efforts now making by the democratic party to bring on a war of races iu the south, with the design of depriving, a portion of its citizens of the lights which belong to them, show that the mission of the republican party has not ended, and that its further continuance is necessary to secure to every citizen the rights which belong to all. 10. Emancipation and enfranchisement having been secured by the adoption of the thirteenth and fifteenth smendmeut to the constitution of the United States and by the necessary legislation for their enforce ment, and equality of civil rights having l.ccn guaranted by the fourteenth amend ment, it is the imperative duty of congress to see that such guaranty is enforced by ap propriate statutes. 11. The establLluucat of the national bank system having secured to the eojlrf of the entire nation the best system of bank currency ever before offered to them, tho privileges of that system should be no longer confined to a privileged class, but should be free to all, under general and equal laws, aggregate volume of the currency to be regulated by the necessi ties of the people and the recognized laws of trade. 12. We reaffirm the declaration of the' national republican convention of 1S72 iu favor of a return to specie payments at tho earliest practicable day. 13. That the republican party continue' to remember with gratitude the soldiers and sailors of the republic for the patriot ism, courage and self-sacrifice, witlt which? they gave themselves to tho preservation of the country iu the late civil war. 14. The entertaiuing the fullest confi dence in the high personal integrity, ability and statesmanship of Governor John F. Hartranft, we unhesitatingly present him to our republican friends throughout the Union as a candidate for nomination to the presidency in 1870. His blameless and exalted character, as a man, his' extraor dinary ability as an administrative officer, the private life, and his splendid record as a soldier, all commend him to an en thusiastic and hearty support for a Hsi tion which he is so well qualified to adorn. Resolved, That the general government having determined that the one hundredth anniversary of American independence shall be celebrated in the metropolis of Pennsylvania it becomes the duty of our representatives in congress and the legis lature to give their earnest support to such measures as will tend to the success of that great event, and we call upon the people of the commonwealth to emulate each other in displaying the products of their industry and the resources of cuir state. 3Ir. Dickey said the effect of the Hart' ranft res:ution would be to stop the slan ders against the President, charging him with aspiring to another term, lie did not believe that Grant had any such am bition', and if he had it would be unadvis able to break iu on the precedents estal lished by the fathers. lie thought it necessary that other states beside Penn sylvania should present their candidates' to stop the third term business. 3lr. Cooper, one of the aisle men, said ; I second the nomination of Governor Hart ranft for President modestly and earnestly. JNot even an angel from heaven, nmch less Grant, could be elected to a third term. If you present Hartranft he will run from Lake Erie to the Delaware. 3Ir. Koontz. I am glad that some one is authorized to speak for President Grant,, and that it is my friend Dickey. 3Ir. Dickey. I am not authorized, I believe in the President's sanity.- 3Ir. Koontz did not believe it policy to adopt the resolution relative to Governor Hartranft. The convention had no right to bind other conventions. The result of recommending so early would lx rather to run him into Lake Erie and Delaware, than the run referred to by 3Ir. Cooper; 3Ir. Dickey said the convention had as good a right its to endorse the centennial. 3Ir. Allison arose to defend his resolu tion, but the gag was applied, lie how ever, said that in the event of Graut's nom--ination he would be supported unanimously by the republican party. The report ot tho committee on resolu tion was adopted as a whole, when the. convention adjourned. lion. Simeon B. Chase peremptorily de clines the Prohibitionists' nomination for Judge of the Court of Pennsylvania. He says : "I regard it as vital to the enforce ment and maintenance of our present law that our Republican ticket should be elec ted this Fall, and no honorable effort of mine shall be spared to secure this cud." Senator Hamlin of 3Iaine, is a candidate for re-election, and there seems to be but little doubt that he will be successful, as he deserves to be. Hamlin, though badly treated in 18G4, br being dropped from the Lincoln ticket, has never swerved from the right " Senator Schutz is boohed as the latest convert from Liberalism to souud Republi can doctrine. Ex. State Senator 31'Clure, ditto. Ex-Gov. Curtin is claimed by the Democrats, but we can never believe that the War-Governor will consent to sail in that boat. The Singer Company, at Elizabeth, are polishing up to turn out four thousand of the family machiues per week. Then they make other kinds and styles, so that they hope to finish forty-five hundred machines a week. The new Constitution of Ohio, which iu many features was patterned after ours, was voted upon at a special election for the purpose on Tuesday last, and rejected by a large majority. Charles II. Silkman, at one time one of the most accomplished lawyers in Luzerne county, has been sent to the Danville luna tic hospital. .
