LANCASTER CONVENTION,
A HARMONIOUS ASSEMBLAGE.
The Platform of Principles.
1 1 A HTK A X FT FOR OOHVllXOR.
RAWLE FOR STATE TREASURER.
Laxcastkk, May 20. The convention
was called to order at 12 o'clock by Russell
Erretj chairman of the State executive com
mittee, and 3Iajor Norris, secretary of the
committee, proceeded to call the roll of de
legates. On motion of General Bingham, of
Philadelphia, Hon. John Cessna, of Bed
ford, w;u? chosen temporary chairman. On
taking the chair Mr. Cessna expressed the
hope that the work of the convention would
result in entire harmony. As soon as
nominations are made differences about
candidates should be laid aside. All eyes are
now directed to Pennsylvania, and a victory
in 1S73 will assure a greater and more glor
ious victorj in 1S70. "Elated b' their suc
cess iu 1874 our adversaries Hatter them
selves that their victory at the coming elec
tion is already assurred ; but the people of
Pennsylvania arc not prepared to restore
to power those who were so justly defeated
and rejected for sixteen years past. He
referred to the young soldier Governor of
the State, and perdicted his triumphant re
election next November. He compli
mented the administration of Gen. Grant
as eminently successful, and enjoying well
dressed respect and confidence at home and
abroad. He strongly intimated that it is
the purpose of the Democratic party to as
sume the rebel war debt, and other meas
ures calculated to deprive the country of
the victory of the war. The destiny of the
Republican party is not yet fulfilled. He
concluded by expressing himself cxtirely
confident that glorious victory awaits the
Republican party at the next election aud
in 1S70.
The following temporary secretaries were
appointed : S. R. Thompson, Mercer ;
Henry C. Selby, Philadelphia; E. II. Har
ner, Berks; Henry C. Dunlap, Philadel
phia ; John Y Miller, Crawford ; Andrew
Knorr, Philadelphia ; John C. Sees, Phil
adelphia. M r. Mantor (Crawford) offered a re
solution to appoint a committee of one from
each Senatorial district to be named by the
delegates present, to report permanent offi
cers of the convention. Mr. Souther (Erie)
moved to amend so as to appoint a com
mittee of seven to be named by the chair.
Mr. Koons. of Somerset, opposed the amend
ment, because it would be a departure from
the well established usages of the party to
transfer the power of organizing the con
vention to the temporary chairman. Similar
attempts have been made on former occa
sions, but always voted down. William B.
Maim favored the orgiuial resolution, in or
der that the committee might be full, re-"
presenting all sections and elements, and
have all differences settled iu committees,
and thus avoid profitless discussions on the
floor. Mr. Souther withdrew the amend
ment, and the resolution was agreed to.
The committee was accordingly named with
xYilliam A. Douglass as chairman. A com
mittee of seven on contested seats was also
appointed, with C. L. Magec, of Allegheny,
as chairman. Mr. McPherson offered a re
solution to appoint a committee of thirteen
on platform and resolutions, to be named
by the chair, which was agreed to, and
Messrs. E. MePherson, James H. Camp
bell, "William R. Leeds, A. G. Olmstead,
Henry Souther, Linn Bartholomew, AY. J.
Moore, M. S. Humphreys, U. B. Payne,
J. J. Mitchell, Frank Reeder, E. Ulan
chard and II. M. Secly were appointed such
committee.
Resolution was adopted making the rules
governing the House of Representatives
the rules to govern the convention.
AFTERNOON S E SSION.
The convention was called to order at 2
o'clock. The committee on contested seats
reported in the Huntingdon contest in fovor
of the admission of the four delegates, each
to cast half a vote. J. M. By ram, of Phil
adelphia, withdrew his contest for the sake
of harmony in the convention. The com
mittee on permanent organization reported
in favor of General Jlary White, of In
diana, for president, and Charles D. Elliott,
of Schuylkill, for secretary. A vice presi
dent and assistant secretary were chosen
for each Senatorial district. Mr. Mitchell,
of Tioga, moved to substitute the name of
General William II. Koontz, of Somerset,
for that of General White. It was second
ed by Mr. Souther, of Erie, who thought
General White had already enough offices.
The yeas and nays were called on the. mo
tion, and it was rejected by a vote of 1 01
yeas to 14G nays. The report of the com
mittee was then adopted. General Harry
White was then escorted to the chair by
General W. H. Koontz, of Somerset, and
Hon. John I. Mitchell, of Tioga. He was
introduced as permanent president by Hon.
John Cessna, who, on retiring from the
chair again thanked the convention for the
honor conferred upon him.
General White, on taking the chair,
thanked the convention for the honor, al
luded to the peculiar appropriateness of
Lancaster as the place for holding the con
vention, and briefly reviewed the history
of the party. Referring to the charges of
corruption ho said : -'The specious cry is
promptly raised : 'the time for change of
government is at hand.' It is folly to deny
that such utterances do not affect the public-sense
and the good name of our great party.
But, sirs, is the idlvi cry of the corrupt and
heedless to move from their party convict ions
and fealties the great mass of Republican
votors of this Republican State ? It cannot
be so. lie who now boastfully proclaims the
time has borne for the Republican party to
lose control in the nation or State is no friend
of his country." He concluded his address
by saying : '-The business which called
us here now presses upon us. Let us haste
to its performance. We cannot differ
about the enumeration of those poli
tical convictions familiar and dear 'as the
apple of our eye.' This, alone, is not all
that is expected. Capacity and integrity
in the candidates to be nominated will be
expected, as well as verbal promises for
faithful administration. Popular prefer
ence has long since indicated Governor
Hartrauft for rcnomination. He lias been
tried and can be trusted. In his nomina
tion we only record the popular verdict.
"When our standard is again in his hands
we will follow, to a sure victory, the un
pretending citizen, the matchless soldier,
the civil officer who has borne himself so
well in his great office that all the people
sound hosannas for his triumph."
Mr. MePherson, from the Committee on
Resolutions, presented the following :
The Republicans of Pennsylvania, affirm
ing their continued adhesion to the party
whose pcrpetutation is rendered necessary
by the causes which called it into existence,
make a decision of the fundamental principles
of their political faith as follows :
First. The equality of all men before the
law. Ei ual justice to all and special favors
to none.
Second. The harmony of the National
and State governments. Both arc parts of
one system alike necessary for the common
prosperity, peace and security.
Third. The unity of the nation. AYe
arc one people. The constitution of the
United States forms a government, and not
a league.
Fourth. A faithful execution of the laws,
an economical administration of the govern
ment, integrity in office, honesty in all
branches of the civil service and a right
accountability of public officers.
Fifth. Protection to home industry and
a home market for home products.
Sixth. The right of the laborer to pro
tection and encouragement, and the promo
tion of harmony betwenn labor and capital.
Seventh. Cheap transportation and the
advancement of closer intercourse between
all parts of the country.
Eighth. Free banking, a safe and uni
form currency, adjusted to the growing
wants of the business interests of the coun
try aud a steady redeuction of the national
debt.
Ninth. The public domain being the
heritage of the people should be reserved
for actual settlers exclusively.
Tenth. The equalization of the bouuties
of soldiers and a speedy settlement of all
just claims arising out of the late war.
Eleventh. Honest men in olhce, men
with brains enough to know dishonesty
."zben they -see it, and courage enough to
fight it wnerevtv.Jhev find it.
Jicsohvd. That we declare firm and
unqualified adherence to the unwritten i;r
of the republic, which wisely and under
the sanction of the most venerable of ex
amples, limits the Presidcutal service of
any citizen to two terms, and we, the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania, in recognition
of this law, are unalterably opposed to the
election to the Presidency of any person
for a third term.
Jirxohvd, That the Republican party of
this Commonwealth recall with pride their
affective agency in the creation of the ad
ministration of President Ulysses S. Grant,
and point with confidence to its general
policy and the beneficent fruits thereof for
their vindication and his ; that having re
ceived the government from his predeces
sor demoralized in every branch, corrup
tion and recklessness in office the rule, the
fruits of the war ungathered, the lately re
bellious States sullen, the late slaves un
protected and yet denied that great means
of self-protection, the ballot, foreign States
unchastized for their wrongs to us aud
home States defiantly inefficient to the ex
piation which their rebellious action re
quired. The administration of President
Grant has in six short years steadily and
unpretendingly reformed every known
abuse, and is to-Jay relentlessly upon the
track of wrong-doers ; has largely reduced
the nation's debt ; has largely reduced the
people's taxes ; has inflexibly punished all
violators of law ; has secured by constitu
tional provision the ballot to all freemen,
aud by law thrown sorely needed safeguards
around the ballot-box ; has wrung from un
friendly foreign States confession of their
faults and reparation for injuries done us,
an4 has influenced reluctant home States
to at least the appearance of just dealings
with all their citizens, all which events
make the present administration as among
the most brilliant achievements iu our an
nals. JUsoIird, That iu presenting the name
of Governor John F. Hartrauft for re-election
to the exalted position which he now
fills we meet the unanimous wish of our
constituents, who desire in this uianiu.r to
indicate their approval of the careful, con
scientious and able manner iu which he has
met and discharged ever' duty incumbent
upon him, making thereby a record which
will secure his reputation as one of the best
upon the roll of our chief magistrates ;
brave in the field, modest in the cabinet,
tried often and always found faithful, self
poised, just and honest, we present him for
the suffrages of the people, confident that
their judgment will appnne and ratify our
nomination.
li solved, That in view of the evils com
mon to the government of most of the large
municipalities, of the municipal taxation in
this and other States of the Union, it be
hooves our Legislature to devise adequate
means to protect the people as well from
existing maladministration as to prevent its
recurrence, and to this end we suggest as
a preliminary step a thorough investigation
by an able and experienced commission, to
be formed under proper authority, of the
whole subject.
Jitsolrcd, That we arraign the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania for its utter
failure to redeem the promise upon which
it partially attained to power in this State.
It pledged itself to reform, to legislative
pur it, to greater economy and to a higher
aim iu legislation ; while it has reformed
nothing, has economized iu nothing, has
dishonored the State by an unseemly and
arbitrary exercise of legislative powers.
Jiesolced, That the efforts now being
made by the national administration to
ferret out and bring to punishment those
who have been defrauding the government
of its lawful revenues should enlist the
sympathy and hearty suport of honest men
of all parties.
THK TICKET.
Win. B. Mann, of Philadelphia, moved
the nomination of John F. Hartrauft for
Governor.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Eshle
man, of Lancaster, and carried unani
mously. Mr. Bartholomew nominated B. B.

of Fayette ; Shoemaker, of Luzerne : Cole
man, of Lebanon ; Meyer, of Bradford ;
Wcidiier, of Philadelphia ; AYailace, of'
Lawrence ; McKnight, of Berks; Fahue
stock, of Adams ; aud Wolfe, of Union.

12 ; Coleman, 20 ; Meyer, S ; Weidner, 4G ;
McKnight, 14 ; Fahnestock, 10 ; Wolfe, l!

Committee, after which the Convention
adjourned nine die.
A mass meeting was held to-night to
ratify the nominations, at which Hon. J.
C. Burrowed, of Michigan, made an elo
quent speech. The Convention separated
in high good humor, aud everybody seemed
perfectly satisfied with the day's work.
Tho Stase from a Catholic Point of View.
The Catholic church does not findiu the
dramatic profession aught to condemn. It
is an honorable profession. The actor, the
lawyer the merchant, the banker have all
their duties to perform, always subservient
to the claims of religion. '-First strive to
save your soul, and then become a good ac
tor, lawyer, or whatever you wish." The
drama, properly considered, is full of good
lessons, the ultimate triumph of virtue un-
der ai circumstances and the delcat oiJ
hypoorisy ana'- vi "Were the stage as
fond of the church as the church is of the
stage, all would be well. Were the drama
as respectful to the priest-hood, as the
priesthood is to it, there would not be a
word against it. The drama has not trea
ted the church as well as the church has
treated it. It is wrong to place a priest
upon the stage in a false light. The drama
tic element pervades everything. Life is
a drama, and death is the most moving of
all the dramas in this world. The great
sacrifice of the mass, which has been offered
up for the repose of our deceased friend, is
a play, and the most successful play that
has ever been produced. It has enjoyed a
run of nineteen centuries, commencing with
divine tragedy of Calvary, and will last to
the end of time. It is the great play of
Christ's passion, the constant repetition of
the play which resulted in the redemption
of the world. The Catholic church always
shelters her children, and her arms are
st reached forth for them. No matter what
distracting profession a man may b
in.
this loving mother will be his guardian,
and at the moment of death she is beside
him. Father Voting at Dan JJrgaitta

The Fast Boy.
We have him here in Stroudsbunr as
well as other towns. The following descrip
tion pictures him exactly, and will be found
to fit tight : 'He may be seen any day, in
almost any part ot the village : he never
makes room for you on the sidewalk, looks
at you saucily, and swears smartly if asked
anything ; he is very impudent, and often
vulgar to ladies who pass ; he delights iu
frightening, and someties does serious m
jury to little boys and girls ; he louges at
the street corners, and is the first arrival
at a dog light or any other sport or scrape ;
he crowds into the post office in the even
ing, and multiplies himself and his antics
at such a rate that people having legiti
mate business are crowded out ; he thinks
himself very .sharp, he is certainly noisy ;
he can smoke and chew tobacco now aud
then, and rip out an oath at most any time ;
we ask whose boy he is. Mother, is he
yours ? e think he is, lor there are many
good qualities iu the lad, and we do not
think that you know what he does on the
street. Look after liiui, mother; keep him
more at home. Train him and you will
have a son to be proud of.'
