The Ute Lour at which the returns
of the Primary election were receiv
ed last week, and tbe uocertainty as
to soma of tbe nominees at tbe time
of our goiog to press, precluded all
comment on tbe result Oar readers
bare bad tbe tabulated vote More
then, and bare doubtless examined
it, and formed tbeir own conclusions,
during; tbe week tbat bas interrened
There can be but one sentiment
amour all iutellinent men. and tbat
must be, tbat as far as tie returns
indicate tbe result as tbe cboice of
tbe voters of tbe countj it is approx
innately correct, but as representing;
tbe action of tbe Republican psrty,
it is a patent, glaring, indefensible
fraud. We know only too well tbat
at tbis time, on tbe advent of so im
portant a campaign, dissensions in
tbe party, should not be encouraged,
tisy, most not be tolerated, but we
would be derelict to every dictate of
honesty, we would become particrpn
'riminu in tbis most disreputable
result, did we not condemn and de
nounce it Year after year, tbis die
regard of party rules, tbis loose, if
not corrupt manner of conducting
primary elections bas been growing,
until now, all restraint bas apparent
ly been thrown off, and not tbe
slightest claim can be made tbat tbe
result accomplished, tbe ticket nomi
nated, was tbe work of tbe Repub
lican voters of tbe county, for tbe
plain and simple reason, that tbe
vote returned cast, not only exceeds
tbe Republican strength, but em.
traces nearly tbe entire rote of the
county, irrespective of party.
Here are the figures to speak for
themselves. In 18 2 tbe entire vote
of tbe county was, Grant 3,495, Gree-li-y
1,S3 Total, 4,878. In 1878,
Hayes receivedi3,?S4, Tilden 2,330
Total C.l 14; while at tbe election of
last week we bave returned as tbe
llepublican vote an average of 5,380.
Every one knows that tbe entire Re
publican vote was not polled, and it
is evident therefore, that a very large
proportion of the Democratic vote
was, or tbe retnrca were falsified by
the officers of tbe elections.
Without proof to tbe contrary, we
M ill not presume fraud against tbe
f lection officers, bnt tbey must stand
convicted by tbeir own returns, of
gross neglect of du'.y. and wilful dis
regard of the rules laid down for
tbeir guidance, ia receiving and re
lurning Democratic votes. There
are notable and honorable exceptions
to tbis censurable course generally
pursued by those eujeers, which will
e readily observed by reference to
tbe UU of votes published last
wetk.
Tbis much as to the maner of pro
caring the result Ai to the result
obtained, or in other words tbe ticket
nominated, we have a few word to
say. Most of the nominees are pro
nounced Republicans, all are fully
identified with Ute party; at a clean
Republican election, the result would
probably have been tbe same, or
nearly bo, and tbe ticket as a whole
is unexceptionable.
We counsel, therefore iu adop

and popular candidates from whom
tn make a selection. The choice of
the Convention tbat assembled at
Harrisburg on Wednesday of last
week, happily for the State and tbe
party, fell npon gentlemen eminent
in character and ability, worthy in
every particular, and of tried and ap
proved capacity. We take tbe fol
lowing brief biography of them from
tbe Philadelphia Bulletin :
Colonel Henry M. Hoyt, of Lu
zerne Countv. tbe nominee for Gov
ernor is in tbe prime of a vigorous
life, cot yet fifty years old ; be Lss
served the State in times of peace
and tbe country ia times of war with
like fidelity. Descended from the
earliest settlers of the historic val
ley of Wyoming, Colonel Hoyt is a
tnorongb rennsylvanian by every
instinct and by all bis training. Edu
cated, first as a teaeber and after
ward in tbe law, be bas signally
proved his capacity in the several
positions in school, in college, at tbe
br, succeeding in each because be
bad cultivated bis native intelligence
with a vigorous purpose to succeed.
Wbilo yet a very young man Colonel
Hoyt secured a very large practice
at the bar, aud wis rapidly winning
bis way to fortune when the rebel
lion summoned him to his country's
service, aod be at once obeyed the
call. His war record is no uncertain
one. After tbe ill-fated Peninsular
campaign, bis regiment was sent, 10
South Carolina, and be was taken
prisoner, after having surprised and
entered Fort Johnson in a night at
tack. After imprisonment at Macon,
be contrived to eFcape, but was hunt
ed down with bloodhounds, and
again imprisoned. Alter being ex
changed be rejoined bis command,
and served ontil tbe close of tbe war,
when be resumed tbe peaceful pur
suits of bis profeBbion. Since tbat
time, Colonel Hoyt has filled various
civil positions in Luzerne County,
always making himself felt by an
earnest and intelligent discharge of
doty.
As a Republican. Colonel Hovt
represents tbe men who enlisted in
tbe cause of liberty at tbe outset of
the present organization of American
politics. Ever since tbe Fremont
campaign, be bas been an ardent and
active worker in the Republican
ranks, upholding tbe principles of tbe
party from a genuine belief in them
as the highest expression of true
Americanism. Daring tbe cam
paigns of 1875 and 1S7G, be was tbe
leader of tbe party as the Chairman
of its Executive Committee, and dur
ing the campaigns was necessarily
brought into intimate relations with
the active men of tbe party in all
sections of the State. Wherever he
became known be became popular.
A man of fine personal presence and of
peculiarly genial manners and pleas
ant address, be is calculated to com
mand tbe enthusiasm of the people,
as Lis uniformly good record com
mands their respect.
Judge James P. Sterrett, cf Pitts
burgh, tbe candidate for tbe Supreme
Judgeship, is known to the people of
tbe Commonwealth as a man of
pure and lofty character, as a learn
ed and able jurist, and as a re pre
sentative Republican. Tbe Demo
crats may succeed in choosing a can
didate of eqoal ability and character,
but tbey can discover none who will
make a stronger claim upon tbe suf
frages of intelligent and patriotic
citizens.
Mr. Charles W. Stone, tbe nom
inee for tbe Lieutenant-Governorship,
is an eminent lawyer, a sound Re
publican, and a gentleman who has
made in public and private life a
record npon which there is no spot
or stain.
Colonel Aaron K. Dunkel, of Phila
delphia, 1 be candidate for Secretary
of Internal Affairs, served bis country
bravely in the army, and his constitu
ents faithfully in the Senate, and he
is now called to a higher place as a
man whose trustworthiness and abili
ty entitle bim to fresh honors trom
bis party. The Harrisburg Conven
tion, out of J be wealth of its resources,
bas chosea well, and true Republic
ans every where will be more than
satisfied by its action. Wi'.b a jicket
modeled in harmony with the same
which has been thus placed at its
head, and with a manly declaration
of tbe true principles of the Repub
lican party, there should be no doubt
of a victorious result of tbe coming
campaign.
The platform adopted by be
State Convention is a model for
brevity and comprehensiveness and
Las tbe ring of eound Republicanism.
It is Biucfe commended by Repub
lican journals both in and out of tbe
State, and covers ground 03 which
all true Pennsylranians can eot-diali
unite. i

HABRiiBiRa.May 14, 1S78.
The greater portion of the dele
gates to tbe Republican Convention
bave arrived and tbe rush and bus
tle ever attendant upon such occa
sions bas fairly commenced. Tbe
clubs from Philadelphia, Luzerne and
Lancaster counties arrived at three
o'clo.-k and made quire a display
with music and banners as they
marched to tbe hotels, where accom
modations had been provided. Tbey
numbered in all some eight hundred.
Hoyt gains strength steadily, and
his nomination for Governor seems
beyond all doubt Should Grow
withdraw, which seems probable,
noyt will be nominated by accla
mation. Tte Philadelphiane will go
solid for Lim, since Fitler is out of
tbe way, and as an indication tbat
all is harmonious in that direction, it
is understood that Mayor Stokely
will be temporary chairman of tbe
convention. For permanent chair
man, Hon. John N. Purviance, of
Batter, and Hon. John Cessna, of
Bedford, are named.
For Lieutenant Governor, Senator
Stone still leads. Tbe substitution
of General McMicbael, of Philadel
phia, is talked of, but not with any
degree of confidence. Grow m y
yet take tbe second place, and Stone
tbe Secretaryship.
Habrisruro, May 15, 1873
Every body was bestirred betimes
tbis morning bright and early, and
tbe work of canvassin?, of shouting,
and ot wire pulling went on quite
briskly. Last night it was general
ly conceded that the outlook favor
ed a ticket with Grow on tbe second
place, and even tbe supporters of the
great Homestead advocate thought
this might be the outcome, but it was
soon appareut this morning that there
mast be a change. Grow, through
out bo full of fifth t as he had been,
still seemed to be averse to taking a
lower place on the roost, and Stone's
adherents were inclined to back their
man for the second place and noth
ing else. It was noticeable, howev
er, tbat there was less bitterness ia
tbe fight waged by the rivals than
has been tbe case in other years, and
the great mass of tbe delegates were
evidently more desirous of getting a
good, strong ticket, and ct harmon
izing all differences, than they were
of pushing tbe fortunes of any indi
vidual.
Tbe more tbe matter was talked
over and noses counted, the more ap
parent it was tnat iioyt was as cer
tain to get tbe nomination for Gov
ernor on tbe first ballot, as that tbe
Convention would meet. Uoyt's
fine address and affable manners to
ward all callers in which there was
00 aneettuon quite won over all
delegates who cattad upon him. and
be trained inenas among every vis
iting delegation of even those who at
first had come with banners unfurled
in opposition to him.
When it became apparent tbat
Grow would not likely accept tbe
recond place on tbe ticket, and Stone
was therefore morally certain of get
ting that plum, several attempts
were made to affect a coalition on tbe
Supreme Judgeship to throw it into
Agncw's hands. The Allegheny del
egation, however, were on tbe alert
in this direction, and were energetic
in demanding tbe honor of tbeir fa
vorite. Tbey felt confident tbat they
would succeed, but as things in a
political convention are mighty "on
sartain," they were anxious to have
tbe matter over as Boon as possible.
Tbe Philadelphia's stood by them,
and gave tbem additional confidence.
Meanwhile, as tbis active wire
pulling was goiog on among tbe del
egates, the streets were made lively
by the various visiting delegations,
woo bad come to do tbe shouting,
and to give ibe additional enthusi
asm which always is an accompani
ment of great numbers, t tw s'.ajd

being fixed for tk opening. Tbe

every arrangement bad been made I

The visiting delegations commenced
to gather quite early, and after mov

directions, each headed by its band,
and mating the air vocal with music
and cheering, they finally bore down
on the Opera House, and were ad

OALI.1XU TH CONVENTION TO itU
After tbe season of melody and
confusion. Chairman Wilson called
the convention to order, and after an
nouncing temporary officers, Secretary
Small proceeded to call tbe roll o'f
delegates, which occupied more than
balf an boor. Tbe list showed all
districts represented, -and ibe only
contesta were from Pbildelpbia, and
it was nnderstood tbey would be sat
isfactorily arranged by tbe committee.
When the election of Temporary
Chairman was in order, Mr. Parmer
nominated John N. Purviar.ce, But
ler, stating tbat a change had been
agreed upon since tbe caucus last
night, by which Mayor Stokely was
to be Permanent Chairman. General
Kocntz then nominated A. J. Kaaff-
man, ot Colombia, who was tbe rep
resentative of tbe opposition to
but General Hoyt. Tbe ballot multed
jin 149 vctes for Parviance, and for
Kauffman 94. and Porviac.ce was
declared elected. Tbe gentlemen
spoke briefly, referring particularly
to tbe mission of tbe Republican
party, aod declaring tbat tbe inter
ests of tbe country could be safely en
trusted to it.
TERMASENT OFFICERS.
Wben the Convention bad been
again called to order Mr. Reeder,
chairman of tbe Committee on Per
maoent Organization, reported a list
of permanent officers, at tbe bead of
which was tbe name of Mayor Stoke-
ley, of Philadelphia. Lucius Kogers,
of McKean county, was nominated
Secretarv, with fiftv Vice Presidents
and as many Assistant Secretaries.
Tbe report was unanimously adopted,
Mayor Stokely being conducted to
tbe platform amid great enthusiasm
urged sucb conduct on tbe part
the Convention as would insure
of Pennsylvania's old fashiooed
publican majorities.
THE PLATFORM.
Mr. Cessna, Chairman ot tbe Com
miuee on Resolutions, submitted
platform, staling that the committee
bad adopted it onanimouelv. Tbe
resolutions were as follows:
Tbe republican party of Pennsyl
vanis, adhering to its historical rec
ord and to its principles heretofore
often affirmed, declares,
First. Tbat it is uncompromisingly
opposed to free trade, in whatever
disguise presented; unchangingly de
voted to the principles of protection
to borne industry, and hereby avows
its special and direct hostility to tbe
tariff bill now pending in congress
tbe same being in tbe interest of im
porters and foreign manufacturers
and in opposition to American labor.
Second. Tbat labor being tbe great
source of national wealth, tbe pros
penty of the nation must depend np
on the extent to which labor is pro
tected and employed; and tbat our
government, being a government of
the people, should endeavor to pro
mote, by all proper means, tbe com
mercial and industrial interests of tbe
nation, so tbat labor and capital may
both be profitably employed.
third, 'tbat American commerce
should be fos'.ered aod home enter
prise developed by the national gov'
ernment, to tbe end that our manu
facturing, mining, agricultural and
industrial interests may flourish; pur
people find employment, and tbe
country be restored to permanent
prosperity.
Fourth. Tbat the public lands be
long to tbe people, and should be re
served exclusively for actual settlers,
so that tbe industrious poor may be
encouraged and aided to enter upon
and occupy them.
iifib. that we are now, a) ever,
onpjsed to the payment of claims
from tbe national treasury to those
lately engaged in cr sympathizing
with tbe rebellion. o conqueror
snould be forced to pay indemnity to
tbe conquered, and tbe presentation
of bills demanding over three hundred
millions of dollars, at the present ses
sion of a democratic house, ia a ware
ing to tbs country ot tbe cost and
danger of retaining in power a party
whose chief aim is to mace reprisals
on tbe taxpayers for losses which the
crime of treason brought upon tbe
southern people.
Sixth. Tbat we view with alarm
the growing depression of many of
the leading and trading interests ef
the state and country, resulting large
ly, it is belier. d, from uufair advan
tages and discriminating rates of
freight and transportation privileges
given by many of tbe transportation
tbe state and conntrv
to a favored few to the prejudice of
our general producing interests, and
this convention earnestly recom
mends the enactment of such laws by
tbe state and national legislatures as
will correct this growing evil.
Seventh. Tbat tbe southern repub
lican, white and colored, have our
earnest sympathy in the unequal
contest to which they are subjected
for civil liberty and tbe maintenance
of tbeir constitutional privileges, and
tbat in the interests of tbeir guaran
teed rights we demand from the gen
eral government for tbem an equal
and fair ballot, and tbat equality be
fore the law which should be the
boast ot every government.
Eighth. Tbat tbe administration of
Governor Jlartraoit meets the hearty
endorsement and unqualified approv
al of tbe party tbat elected him and
continues to honor him. He bas
proved himtelf an able magistrate, a
true patriot anj a T;ise officer; and
bis party tenders to bioi iUfi prgige
due to personal uprightness, to po
litical devotion, and to official rectitude.
THE NOMINATIONS.
The name of Mr. Hoyt fcr Gov
ernor was then presented by Mr. Pal

no man could keep bim from support
ing Judge Agnew against any claim

duty of tbe delegates to recognize
the three score and ten years of

with Judge Sterrett, a man in tbe
prime o life, of sure character, and a
stainless name.
The ballot resulted as follows :

Tbe Convention took a recess, and

When the cheering ceased, he began

COLONEL UOYT'S ADDRESS
Gentlemen of tbe Convention, Del
egates cf tbe llepublican Party of
Pennsylvania :
To say tbat I sincerely thank you
for tbe honor yoa have conferred up
on me ib the plain truth. I trust I
appreciate tbe magnitude of tbe hon
or, and I know I realize its responsi
bility. Pennsylvania is always the
pivotal State of tbe Union. The ej es
of Republicans throughout the na
tion mav well be turned to the re
sults of this day's action, and nore
particularly this day's declaration.
As has been said by an illustrious
Pennsylvanian : "Let your eyes be
upon the flag, not tbe flag bearer."
Many inscriptions are upon tbat flag,
ascriptions which we will not readi
ly forget, and which will be an in-
piration for a long future. 1 ou
have a right to expect from your
standard bearer energy, fidelity and
iscreiion, and as far as I possess
these qual'ties I pledge tbeoj to the i
success of tbe party. Wo are s pro- j
gressive party, not a reactionary one,
and tbe tendencies of Republican
principles are towards a troe Christ
ian civilisation, and as a result na
tional prosperity. In the domestic
affairs of our Commonwealth we are.
v tradition and distinctively, friends
of protection to American industry.
W e insist, as we slvays insisted, up
on the system of revenue which will
save to Pennsylvania tbe wealth of
ber aniens, invested in her mines,
er oil fields, ber furnaces, manufac
tures, her farms, and all the industries
aud labor interlaced wi;b aod do
pendent upon their prosperity. Penn
sylvania Republicans are for a pro
tective tariff. We must deal, gdaJe-
men, with our people as a whole, re-
agnizing tbat prosperity in one di
rection msl rculj in prosperity in
all directions tye inpto tho mcst
indid and patient discussion of all
the faota of tbe rituatioo. From tbis
discussion we shall learn that pur
true relief will come from tbe natural
working of the natural, inherent aod
right forces of the community; that
UNIVERSAL GOOD FEELING.
Although a great many have de
parted, tbe hotels continue crowded,
aod the utmost good feeling univer
sally prevails. The Allegheny dele
gation are particularly gratified at tbe
nomination of Judge Sterrett against
vigorous adverse pressure.

Henry Martin Hoyt, Colonel of tbe
Fifty-second Regiment, and Brevet
Brigadier General, was born in Lu
zerne county on tbe 8th of June, 1830.
His parents were natives of Con

of 1S5G, ia which he took an active
part, he opened an office in Wilkes
barre acd began tbe practice of law.
During the year next following bis
admist-ion to the bar, General Hoyt
secured a large and lucrative prac
tice ani devoted himself to its de
mands afgiduoutly, until the break
ing out of the war. In tbe summer
of 1SC1 he was active in raising the
Fifty-second Regiment Pennsylvania
Volunteers, and in consideration of
bis services was commissioned as
Lieutenant Colonel by Governor
Curtin. His regiment was ia the
brigade of General N'egley, and par
ticipated in the Peninsula campaign
of 1862. Early ia the winter of 18C3
tbe brigade, then under the command
of Gen. W. W. H. Davis, was sent to
the Department of the South, t j co-,
operate in tbe naval attack on Fort
Sumpter. It participated, under Gen.
Gilmore, in the siege operations con
ducted on Morris Island against tort
Wagner and Fort Sumpter. Ia the
summer of 18C4 a night attack was
organized by Gen. Foster against
tort Johnston, in Charleston harbor.
It was made in b tute across tbe bar
hor. Tbe fire boats commanded by
General Hoyt and the other officers
of his regiment, succeeded in reach
ing, surprising and entering the fort,
but tbe reinforcements not arrmog,
they f and themselves in tbe bands
of the enemy, prisoners cf war. Af
ter being conbneu at Alacon, be was
brought back with six hundred other
officers to Charleston jail, where they
were supposed to be under fire from
Morris Island. While en route from
Macon to Charleston, General Hoyt,
with four other officers, escaped from
the cars. After several days and
nights of fruitless effjrts for libertv,
tbey were recaptured by the enemy,
with the aid of blood bouods, aod
placed in the Charleston jail. Upon
being exchanged be rejoined bis regi
ment and remained with it until tbe
close of tbe war. At tbe expiration

and commodious buildings, and made
tbe public schoou second to none in
he Mate. In lso be b:cime tbe
Chairman of tbe Republican Commit
tee, and conducted tbe campaigns of
tbat and tbe following year with suc
cess. Tbpse campaigns indicated tbe
zeal, ability and leadership of Gener
al Hoyt As a lawyer be stanud in
tbe front rank. He is probably one
of the best read men in Penosylra ia,
and bis library contains the best
books in ail tbe departments of litera
ture. Among his friends he is re
garded as standard authority upon
any question involving tbat sort of
knowledge which comes from perpet
ual study in tbe unusual paths of
learning. Personally, he is popular,
of fine presence and pleasaut address.

Washington, May 17 The
publican Committee has issued
following address:
To the voters of the United States:
The Democratic Honse ot Represent
atives has t day, by a psrty vote,
adopted a resolution which, under
the pretense of an investigation, is to
lay the foundation of tbe . revolution
ary expulsicn of the President from
his otiice. Tbis is a culmination of a
plot which Las been on foot from the
day tbat Hayes and Wbeeler were
constitutionally declared elected. It
made iu first public appearance ia a
resolution of the last Democratic
House, adopted at the close of tbe
session, declaring tbat Tildea and
Hendricks were elected. Tilden and
Hendricks subsequently made similar
public declarations themselves. A
few timid members have long held
back, and some of tbem after being
oerced to a final vote, still pretend
tbey will halt as soon as tbeir piriial
and one sided investigation shall be
ended. In other words, they intend,
after bearing suborned evidence, to
bring in a verdict tbat Hayes is an
usurper, and tbat be shall not remaia
ia office.
These men have no control ia the
Democratic party. They dared not
even loilow Alex. 11. btepbens as a
unit against caucus dictation t tbe
extent of showing some semblance of
fair plav. Tbey a ill be impotent 10
the future, as they bave been ia the
past Moreover, it is difficult to be
lieve ia their sincerity, ia view tf the
public arowl of their party tbat its
purpose is, if possible, t j displace tbe
President. It is a matter ol bistorv
tbat the resolution just adopted was
framed to express this object Tbe
Speaker of tbe House was consulted
in advance as to whether he would
rule that it was a privileged question.
Tbe party managers were anxious to
conceal their purpose if possible. In
tbis tbey were defeated by tbe Speak
er, wbo would not rule it a question
of privilege unless i: clearly assailed
the title of tbe l'resideut. Ibe reso
lution being offered, he read a care
fully prepared opinion, deciding it to
be a question of tbe highest privilege,
because it involved tbe question of
the validity of Hayes' title. Here
are bis very words :
A higher privilege than tbe one
here involved and broadly and di
rectly presented as to the rightful oc
copancy of the Chief Executive
Chair cf the Government and con
nection of high Government officials
with the frauds aileeed, the Chair is
unable to conceive. The Chair fiads
enumerated among questions of priv
ilege tet down ia the manual the fol
lowing, "Llection of President" Tee
tbair, therefore, rules tbat tbe pre
amble and resolution embrace ques
tions of privilege of the highest char
acter, aod recognizes the right of tbe
gentleman from .New icrs" to offer
tbe same.
Upon this the Uepublicaus com
menced tbe struggle against tbe rev
olutionary scheme which, after five
days, terminated in the triumph of
the conspirators. Republicans offer
ed to favor tbe fullest investigation
into all alleged frauds by whichever
party charged to bave been commit
ted, but tbe Democracy pursued its
course shamelessly and relentlessly.
and ni fled til inqairy into attempts
t bribery ia Oregon, South Carolina
and Louisiana, and murder and vio
lence ia several of the States. Neith
er amendment nor debate was allow
ed. The inexorable previous ques
tion c 83 app'ied and enforced.
Tbe scheme, if pursued, and it is
now fully iuaugurated, can only have
tbe effect of further paralyzing busi
ness c f all kind', preventing tbe res
toration of confi fence, wbicb seemed
promising, casting a gloom over ev
ery household, aod bringing oar na
tion into reproach before the civilized
world. The peace of tbe country is
tbe fifit con-tide ration of pariots
Tbis uew -(fort of ibe Democrats to
oaugurate anarchy and Mexicanze
tbe Government by throwing doubts
upen the legitimacy of tbe title of tit
PretiJent is in keepiojr with tbe rec
ords cf that pa ty, one wing of which
rebelled airaiast tbe Government
while the other wing gave tbem aid
aod com tut t
We call, therefore, upon all who
opposed the rebellion of 1861, with
out distinction of party, to rally again
to tbe support of law, order and sta
ble Government, aod to overwhelm
with defeat the reckless agitators
bo, to gain political power, would
add to tbe present distresses of tbe
country by shaking the foundations
of tbe Government they failed in a
four years' war to destroy.
