( The Republican State Convention,
tho proceedings of which wo publish in
another colutnu, met in llarrisburg, on tho
17th inst, and nominated candidates for
Auditor General and Surveyor General.
It was composed of the best talent in the
State, men of integrity, and devoted to tho
principles which from the creed of the Re
publican party, after a preliminary cau
cus, in which a full and fair discussion of
the. relative merits of the candidates was
accomplished, find tho wishes of their con
stituency ascertained, Ihcy assembled with
& full determination to nominate none but
good, cnpablo and honest men; having
more regard for the integrity of Republican
principles, and the ultiraato strength of tho
Republican party, than to the success
of any ono individual, who, himself, or
through his friends, presented claims for
nomination, that might appeal to their per
sonal feelings and sympathies. They have
made snch nominations ; and have placed
the candidates upon n platform as sound as
oak. It is impossible for good sense and
patriotism, having duo regard to the wants
of meu, and the advancing spirit of the
age, lo reject any part of it.
Pennsylvania is a Republican State, and
Republicans can now go iuto tho cam
paign, not Only with a full and holiest de
termination to win the victory but with
an assurance that the success they labor
for is merited, and must and will follow
their intelligent and determined efforts.
The utmost harmony and good feeling pre
vailed in the Convention. Harmony and
good feeling peVVadc and control the Re
publican rauks; and, vcmemberiug the
momentous issues of the future, depending
upon Pennsylvania Republicans, we will
pull strongly aud altogether, abating
nothing of heart or hope or labor until tho
final triumph comes.
Dr. David Stanton, the candadate
for Auditor General, is from New Brigh
ton, Beaver county, ho was born in 1829.
The late great Secretary of War, was his
uncle. Ills father was Dr. Benjamin Stan
ton, pf Ohio, of which Stato, David Stan
ton, our candidate, is a native. He is a

and of the University of Pennsylvania.
He commenced tho practice of Medicine
nt New Brighton, at the age of Iwcnty-
onc. Dr. Stanton entered tho service of
Lis country as surgeon in 1361. He acted
assistant 'Medical director of tho Northern
Department on the stalls of Gen. Ileintzel
man and Hooker. In 1864, ho was bre
veted Lteul. Col. Ho has never lield any
public political office excepting that of
Chairman of the Beaver county Standing
Committee, which position ho now fills.
Ho is of Quaker extraction, is an earnest
liepublicau and a christian gentleman.
Robert B. Death, the candidate for
Surveyor General, was born in Philadel
phia in 1839. Served an apprenticeship with
Merrich & Sons, at the Southwark Foun
dry. Entered tho army as a private at
the commcnocment of tho war, arid served
With distinguished gallantry till its close.

promoted to be a Captain. At the charge
on the rebel Works at New Market (Cha
pin's Farm,) Sept. 29th, 1804, he was again
wounded aud lost a leg as a consequence.
Ho received a commission as Lieut. Col ,
Iul8C3, in which year ho was mustered
honorably out of service. Ho has been a
candidate On the Republican ticket for
common council in Philadelphia, and is
now a book-keeper at a large colliery in
Schuylkill county.
Tun members of tho Pennsylvania Re
serves held a reunion at Philadcljhi:t on
Tuesday.

The commercial supremacy of New
York is threatened by a schemu to build a
continuous line of railway from that city
to Halifax. The road will bo completed
by ext fall, and will shorten the Journey

roiTMTr Finances. Our neighbor of
fthe Gazette, in his last Issue, in reply to tho
correspondent of the Deynocrat in regard to
the county finances says: "We are charged
with having practiced deception represent
ing that tho county expenses last year wero
854,004 59 ; and wc will admit that a rather
hasty examination of tho Auditors' Report
led us inadvertcutly to that conclusion. A
care full examination of the figures makes it
evident that the actual expenses of tho
county last year wero $29,303 CO, nearly
ten thousand less than they Wero tho year
previous." Our neighbor it appears has
taken and adopted the figures of tho cor
respondent of tho Democrat who lately
cooked up a defense for the county Com
missioners, after four weeks' study from
the time tho Auditors' Report appeared.
As it is well known who tho correspondent
is, and that he is tho servant of the Ring,
to do whatever work they require, sxtA
always looking for a small oflico to avoid
labor, and who is well known as a rebel
sympathizer, it is strango that our neigh
bor should take this correspondent state
ment as correct, without first publishing
tho Auditor's Report to let his readers see
what that report contains. If you were
ever "ict.i'i" neighbor, wc think it is now,
for it is certainly not the most desirable
company you aro getting into, though per
haps not intentionally. If tho actual ex
penses wero only 829,303 10, and the
Auditors have reported .554,004 58 Is a
matter which should bo fully explained by
the correspondent of the Democrat. But if
he meant to say that 829,303 00 ought to
hnvo been tliu actual amount of expenses,
we shall certainly ngrco with him. Wc pre
fer to sco the Auditor's Report circulated
to let the tax-payes cxamiuc it instead of
publishing garbled statements of it. Our
neighbor should let his Veaders sec it, even
if he is not paid for it. It is a matter
which iutcresls every taxpayer. Wo aro
satisfied that tho Ring would much rather
have suppressed its publication if it could
have been done. When it appeared in the
Democrat it was placed in au obscure part
of that paper without comments or a lino
to draw attention to it. That fact alone
should have put our neighbor on his guard
to not bo imposed upon by figures invented
to suit the purpose of defense by any of tho
runners of the Ring. Wc agree with our
neighbor, that the Republican party is en
titled to the credit of causing reductions
in the county expenses, and of the outstand
ing taxes being rapidly called in. The
people of this county having been burdened
with heavy taxes for some years past, do
not fee) like supporting men for offices only
because they have tho same political
faith. The Ring know this fact, and they
know they aro doomed to surrender tho
ofilcus they so cozily occupied for years, aud
hence their great efforts to try and rectify
matters to hang on a while longer. Tho
people want a change and wo aro satisfied
that there will be such an upheaving aud
thinning out of the Riug that will not only
astonish them, but also their hangers on
for the small crumbs which fall from their
tables.
German Peace Celebration. Tho
German citizens of Philadelphia, on Mon
day, celebrated the restoration of Peace to
the "Fatherland'' by a grand parade. It
is said that a more beautiful nud imposing
spectacle has never been presented on this
continent. Tho utmost good order and
sobriety was observed throughout the day.
We regret that space does not permit a de
tailed report of the wonderful pa gent. Tho
success of German arms, and the establish
ment of German unity has awakcud iu tho
warm German heart, and iu the hearts of
many thousands of Americans who sym
pathize with them, a feeling aud sentiment
of religious thoughtfuluebs to the divine
dispenser of victories. In the City of Phila
delphia, citizens of German extraction
manifested this devout and thankful
fceliug, fust ou Saturday and Sunday, by
religious services in their several places of
worship, according to the peculiar cere
monies of their different faiths. Ou Mon
day, by a magnificent parado ; and closed
their festival by social exercises at the
Sehutzen Park oit Tuesday, No disorder
was maniC sted throughout the protracted
demonstration. The German is thoughtful
aud sensible. Ho is. a good citizen, and
fully identified with his adopted country,
while he continues to love the home of his
fathers. He is mindful of the object of his
lVaco festival, as well while displaying a
Itcculiar trait of German character in so
cial and seusual enjoyments, as iu Jiis re
ligious exercises, or his military Proces
sions. Iu every place ho is subordinate aud
obedient to the laws, aud practices good
order.
I-'rilnd Palkmon John, In tho last
issue of his excellent paper, tho ".Yorfi

THE PLATFORM.
Mr. Errcttfrom the committee on resolu
tions, mado the following report :
Tho republicans of Pennsylvania, as
sembled in convention, declare that
First. They demand of the legislature
I the immediate passago of an act calling a
, state convention to revise and amend the
.constitution for the purpose, amend other
tilings, ot
Abolishing and prohibiting special legis
lation ;
Securing the election of all state officers
by the peoplo ;
Establishing a judicial system that will
make justice prompt and sure,
And providing for the passage of general
laws that shal 1 so encourage industrial en
terprise, that Pennsylvania shall be enabled
to take her just place iu the front rnuk of
all the states.
Second. They demand of Congress that
the credit of the nation shall bo faithfully
maintained ; home industry encouraged
and protected ; an adequate civil service
system established for regulating appoint
ments to oilico ; taxes reduced to the low
est possible limit consistent with the steady,
but not too rapid, extinction of tho natiou-
nl lrht. ? tlin liminr nf llin ..iinlilw. aiiotni.iA.I
1 at homo nud abroad ; the rights of every
man proiccieu iu an ino Slates, ana evory
man, entitled thereto, secured in the polling
of one vote, aud no more, at each election.
Third. They declare their unalterable
attachment to the principle of protection
to home industry iu the levying of tariff
duties, in accordance with the wise policy
which has existed from tho foundation of
the government to this time.
Fourth. They commend the policy of re
trenchment and wholesomo enforcement of
tho laws, which has prevailed sineo the
election of General Grant to the presidency,
and which has resulted in tho first two
years of his administration in reducing tho
national debt over $200,000,000. And in
curtailing the taxes to tho extent of SS0,
000,000 annually. They commend, also,
the similar policy which has prevailed
under republican rule in Pennsylvania, re
sulting in paying oil tho war debt of tfU,
500,000 ; reduciiia; the stato debt from i'40,
OO0.0W0 to 30,000,000 ; and in abolishing
the state tax on real estate. It is to the
fact that both the state and nation havo
been iu republican hands, wc owe tho ac
complishment of such gratifying results;
and it is to the continuance of that party
I in power, mo people must alone iook lor
i the continuance of this policy. The return
of the democrats to power in either state or j
nation, must inevitably be attended with a j
I return to extravagance in expenditures, to
I tho impairment of state aud national credit.
' and to the abandonment of that protection
! to free labor uuder which our industry has
j thriven and our peoplo been made prosper
' ous.
Fifth. That in tho judgment of this con
i ventiou, tlrc time has come when tho state
tax on personal estate may be safely abol
; ished, and the other taxes, impose by state
' laws, may also prudently be reduced with
I out injury to tho credit of tho common
I wealth.
Sixth. That as flu indication of what the
: people may fear from a return of the dem
I oeratic party to power, we point to the
criminal waste of tho timo and money of
I tho peoplo by the preseut democratic ina
' jority of the state senate. Tho legislature
, has been now uearly live months in session,
I and not yet nearly through with its legiti-
mute business, owing to tho obstructive
! policy of this majority. In all this tune
i scarcely u single measure of public interest
i has U n perfected ; uud the time has U-cu
; wasted in their efforts to force on our state
I au unjust apportionment, and to break
j down tho registry law against illegal vot-
in, that they might thereby puve the way
to their return to power through violence
' ami fraud.
Seventh. We commend to t support of
tho icoplo of the state tho candidates we
have-this dav nominated for stuto nilleer.
, They uro honest, tapablo and faithful lo
iiieeoimiiiuuou, and in every way worthy
the public confidence. We ask for Iheir

and national administrations, ns an appro-1

The Hon. P. C. Shannon fiflcred to amend
tho ninth resolution by adding tho follow
ing: "and point to him as the honored
leader of our party now, and tho proper
standard bearer of tho republican party iu
187-2.
Tho amendment and resolution were
then adopted.
Mr. Errctt then offered tho following
resolution, viz.
That tho republican state central com
mittco for the ensuing year shall bo consti
tuted of tlio samo number, and appointed
in tho samo way as the present stato cen
tral committee. Tlw officers to consist of a
chait-man, three secretaries and a trcasua
or, to be appointed by tho committee.
Mr. Mann, of Potter, moved to amed by
making the chairman of tho committee be.
Hod. Butler B. Strang;, of Tioga.
Mr. Quay moved to amend tho amend
ment to the resolution to read that tho per
manent presidcut of tho convention -and
the two candidates this day nominated
shall appoint tho chairman of the state
central committee.
After considerable debate tho amend
ment of Mr. tjuay was agreed to, and the
rcsolntion as amended was adopted.
Mr. Shannon offered the following, which
was unanimously adoptcS:
llesolml, That tho thanks of tho people
of Pennsylvania aro duo to General Ilar
tranft alio General Crmpbell for the able.
faithful and efficient manner in which thev
have discharged the duties oflho offices of
I.. - . . . . .
auditor general nnu wirveyoi general.
Tha convention then adjauiued.
The Senate bill authorizing the election
of women to the oflTcc of School Diroctorin
this State was finally defeated in the House.
Mr. Mann, of Tioga, mado an earnest ap
peal iu favor of its passage, but a inotion
by Mr. Hager lo postpone it indefinitely
was carried by ten majorit-. This action
is not at all creditable to tho members of
tho House, who thus avoided a direct ex
pression on the subject. Common sense
proves that if women are competeut to
teach public schools they aro equally fit to
serve as directors. In fact, there is little
doubt that if women wero substituted for
half the men who now fill the school boards
the result would be of marked advantage
to the interests of education.
The War in France. Tho rcbcU'ion
iu Paris progresses the indications being
that the communists must soon surrender
to the Versailles Goverrmcnt. In the
meantime, their course has been marked
with every enormity and crime, churches
have been closed, and pillaged. Priests
and Bishops imprisoned nnl murdered.
Religious schools closed aud christian em
blems destroyed. Tho proudest monuments
of Paris, which boasted to jo the fairest
and noblest of the cities of the earth, l:ud
in ruins, even the superb column of the
Vindonio had to fall, and be smashed to a
thousaud fragments by infuriated French
men. What the conquering hot thought
ful, christian, appreciative Germans
spared for France and the world, ignorant
and crazy Frenchmen liavo destroyed.
The Coal DiFFit i L riEii. Tlte Mincm1
Journal of last week says :
All the difficulties in Scuylkill and Col
umbia Counties are now settled, except
probably at ono or two collieries, where
some local difficulties may int be settled,
so that all tho collieries will resume by
Monday. Many have already resumed,
and making preparations to ship coal on
Monday on tho reduced rale of tolls, which
which will be promulgated cither to-day or
Monday. The tolls for this Region will fce
promulgated as soon as the men declare
their intention to go to work iu good faith,
independent of tho difficulties that may
exist in any other Region, neuorJiug to tin
several arrangements that exist between the
dilleient committees.
In the Wyoming Region, ail the colHeries
except those t-oiitrnllud by tlio companies
have resumed, or are preparing tu resume
as rapidly as possible.
In Northumberland County the collieries
havo nearly all resumed already their
basis, which so far has not been changed.
On th'13 basis all can work so soon, as the
tolls nrc reduced on tlio Reading Road aud
Schuylkill conal.
From the LcJifgh Region wc have no
definite information, but presume that the
men will not hold out long after nil tho
other individual Operators resume in the
different Regions ; uor do wo believe the
men will hold out for many days against tho
companies' oiler, after the others go to
work. Until all the men are employed in
Schuylkill County, there will be but little
disposition to employ men from other Re
gions by the Operators in Schuylkill Coun
ty, unless they should be short of hands,
which is not likely to be the case to any
great extent.
Wo mention this for tho information of
men Hocking to Sdtuylkill County from,
other regions Wo wero informed yester
day, that sineo the difficulties were settled
about 12 o'clock on Thursday, there wero
applications made, iu less than ten hours,
by upwards of 51KJ men for work at the St.
Clair shiilt. Among the number were up
wards of thirty from I.u?erue county. Or
ders, we learn, wero given to employ none
from abroad so long as men can be obtain
ed residing in Schuylkill County. The col
liery employs about 4ii0 hands.
