vote of 12S to 113. Tbis is alleged
to bo evidence of bis great weakness,
and proof positive tbat be will not be
a candidate before the Chicago Con
vention. A motion to substitute tbe
naae of Blaine was lot bo a vote of!
i-.Hrt9.-i aud this claimed to be
proof of his great strength, and
an
assurance tbat he will be nomin
ated.
Tbis is tbe way some people are
reanoninr iaat now.
Tiiere can be no doubt tbat James
G. Blaine, anterior totbe convention
of last week, was the choice for
President of a large and resectable
minority of Republicans in tbis State,
and stood tbe second choice of nearly
all others. Whether tbe iatemper
aace of bis over-zealous friends in the
convention, and tioce, will result
injuriously to him in the future,
time alone can tell.
They are not to be blamed for ex
ercising their right to the fullest ex
tent in the Convention, and bacty
and unconsidered words, used in the
heat of debate should not be scored
up against them, but having failed in
their object, it is expected that all
will now acquiesce in the decision of
tbe Convention, and unitedly and
manfully support for nomination its
declared choice fjr Pret-ideot. It is
a sincere pleasure to the original
friends of General Grant to anow.
that during all the excitement of tbe
contest, not an unkind or disrepect
ful word was uttered against tbe dis
tinguished Senator from Maine.
There bave been more harmoni
ous aud leas tnrbnlent conventions
than the one that assembled at Uar
risburg on Wednesday last, never
theless its work was well done, and
will doubtless meet with tbe approval
of all Republicans desiring the suc
cess of the party. Or course, it is a
little bard for the gentlemen who got
up.and eugineered the Blaine boom to
come down at once, and due allow
ance mast be made for hasty words
ottered in the Erst flush of disappoiut
ment, but we donbt not hat the
ranks will at once close up, aud the
entire party throughout the State
will be found marc bine in solid
colamn.
The Stato ticket nominated is
most excellent one, the platform
adopted, one which all will heartily
approve, and the delegation goes to
the National Convention instructed
to vote as a unit for General Grant,
ts well as on all important questions
tbat may come before tbe convention
Pennsylvania baa thus taken tbe
lead in behalf of General Grant for
President, and we doubt not tbat ber
choice will bs ratified in the Cnicago
Convention by a large majority of ber
sister Utatcs.
TnE Republicans who prefer Gen
eral Grant as their Erst choice, do
not regard with any less favor tbe
gallant Senator from Maine. In not
one instance within our observation
has a single disparaging remark been
made of the latter by an' journal ad
vocating tbe Domination of General
Grant. His friends are making no
effort to work up sentiment. They are
content to abide by tbe choice of tbe
country and are eatisGed tbat he will
be nominated by practical unanimity
t Chicago, or that be will not be
oamed. It is an admitted fact tbat
New York will practically decide tbe
qaeeuaa, it is tbe pivotal State in
tbis capaign, and without its vote
Republicaa success is very doubtful
It is because tbey believe tbat Gen
eral Grant is "tbe atrong man," par
tiealarly in New York, tbat bis nomi
nation is urged, bnt his friends at the
same time do not personally antago
nize Senator Blaine. Tbey freely
testify to bis great ability, and un
questioned strength, and while tbey
leave themselves in a position to sup
port Lim heartily in case of bis nomi
nation, they would be recreact to
themselves and to their whole duty
as Republicans, did they not in this
impending crisis of the country and
of tbe party.determinedly eland by tbe
candidate tbey believe to be strong
est and most available before tbe
people.
The Republican National Conven
tion which will ceet in Chicago,
June 2. will consist of 736 delegate,
a nnj -ritv od.j ot whom is required ;
to nominate. Two delegates are al-
fp Pch ReoreFeutative and
R...r.,n.a. nndtwo from
J -II OBVUB W
!ech territory
and the District tl I
Colombia. There are 293 Represen-
tatives, ,C Senators, 8 territories and
ttie District, and that number doubled
mkes ioO. It will thus require 379
votes to nominate. Coutning as
certain f.S from Pennsylvania, 70
from New York and 42 from Illinois,
Cnni vi'.l tita 170 of the
! 379 declared fjr him in a very rhirt
time. Besidt6 the 170 delegates as
good as secured, it is believed that
fully two tbiidscf tbe Southern dele
gation nill declare for bin), and with
euch a following a this oateide of tbe
Western States, whre he if a strong
favorite, it looks as if bis nomination
may clearly be counted on as a
certainty.
There is a very persistent tffjrt
being made to misstate tbe compara
tive fctreugth of the Grant and BUiuo
forces in tbe Convention. A rufer
ence to tbe record shows tbat on the
Erst test vote, which was for chair
man of tbe temporary organizuiou,
w hich carried with it tbe appoint
ment of tbe committees and control
of tbe Convention, tbe vote stood for
Errett(tbe nominee of the Grant
men) 158 to 92 for Lawrence (the
Biaine candidate). Aga'O, on the
motion of Mr. Sirangt J strike out tbe
name of General Grant in the resolu
tion of instructions and substitute
that of J. G. Blaiue, the vote was for
(stnk.ng out 9o aga.nst 1,1- It w
true on the Dual vol , .v.ruct.ng the
delegates to CMC. fit General
Cri, the vote u 133 yeas to 113
' nays, but it well known tbat some
fri,,ndl4 tlf both candidaiea were hos
tile to any instructions being given.
Undoubtedly tbe vote tor temporary
chairman shows the strength of the
Grant men, egdiost all others.
Tue reduction of tbe public debt
for January by over 11,000,000 is the
best f-nowing tee irtaury .pan-
ment b:is made eince 1872. It is
understood to be tbe ambition of
Secretary Sherman to reduce tLe
public debt below ,uuu,uuu .uuu aur-
ug bis Urm of oflico.
Ex Governor Smytue of New
Hampshire, has been ijterviewtd on
tbe Presidential ouestion. and nivts
his recponte in tbe N. Y. Tribune :
I am for Grant because I think he
is tbe onlv man who can be tested
We are Kiog to elect our nomiuee,
w boever he may be, but the Demo
crats will couui him out uule.-s tbey
ure afraid of him. Grant is the only
liitiu iu ibe United Siaies they are
afraid of. Toey know tbat he ciQld
callbaifa nulliou of ujoU arouud

we doa t elect Grant not oue ol us
will ever live to see another Repub

The Inbune, a recognized Blaine
aud unU-Uraul paper, eavs tbal talks
wiib udive pjluicinus from ciiy aua
country, make pieity evidtut itiat a
very coueideraoie propoi Uou, aud
probably a iuoj ,riiv ot the uieu wno
onpo tue uciuu v. t tbe Kepuplicau
party of tbe State of Nea York iu
iit local conventions favor tbe uouil
uaiiou of Gen. Grant. "They be
lieve tbat tbe election of Grant would
give stability to bueinees, aud would
put a fetop to sucn revolutionary
ecbeoies ut lb Democracy as that
uai fr ustrated iu Maiue. Tnat tbese
uieu represent a very large body ot
voters there caa be no doubt. Tbey
belong to the political mactiiue, it is
tiue, but tbey are much too sagaciou
to try to ruu the uiacbiue off the
tracks of public sentiment." The
Iribane further says, "A current pre
diction about the complexion of the
Sate couveutiou is thai it Gram's at-
li.uae is not changed before it meets
by eoiue declaration from him, three
luurtbs of the delegates will be Graot
men, aud the other fourth will be di
vided between Blaiue and Sherman
in tbe proportion of two or three to
one."
Tbis is significant language, com
ng from ibe leading ami Grant paper
of New Yolk, tbe Divotal State of
tbe presidential corned. Tbe Re
publicans have notonecbance in fifty
of success in the approacbiug strug
gle Without tbe State of ev York
or uioHl of it. Wby, tbeu, should nut
New York have tbe candidate of ber
choice ? No sane mau doubts the re
sult ia Pennsylvania, whether the
Republican standard bearer be Grant,
Blaiue, Snerman, Garfield or Wasb-
burne. ibe same may be said of all
ibe other northern Republican States,
but if we lose New York aud Indiana
we lone all. A Blaiue boom in Penn
sylvauia that will carry the State by
City thoaand majority will not elect
him if he is a weak candidate in the

Mr Brice was awarded the fljo.

Mr. Edie, vf Somerset, moved to
amend by substituting the name ot
General W. II. Kooutz for that ot
D. S. Elliott, and made a statement
of tbe reason wby Koontx claimed
the seat.
Mr Elliott in bis own be bah stated
tbat tbe Commiitee on Contested
Sets bad examined tbe case fully.
List year be had been selected, but
never was notified, aud a Somerset
man took his place. II 3 thought,
therefore, that under tbese circum

voted down and tbe Committee's re

Mr Ivoo?er, of Somerset, withdrew
as a delegate and substituted Gener

which was permitted by tbe motion
of Hou. John Cessna.
Mr. Cessna then renewed the reso

The lutroduction of the resolution

its reading was also applauded,
cheered, aud hissed vcciferourly,
which was rebuked by tbe Chairmau
Mr. llerr in support of his resolu
tiou, spoke as follows :
Mr. Uerr Now, 1 am somewhat
surprised to see ibis demonstration
made, wben these resolutions were
read, by a number of itentlemen who
are uot connected wub ibis body iu
any otliL-iul capacity. 11 seems to
me thai the outburst that was made
a few minutes ago bv some irrespoo
eible parlies has been made for a
purpose ibat looks very much like a
precoucelved determination to sup
press tbe true sentiment of tbis Con
vention. (Applause, cbeers, and
hisses) It seems lo me, further.
mat iu a deliberative assembly like
ibis it is utitber iu keeping with tbe
digoiiy of tbe bjdy, nor is it ex. end
n that courtesy to a speaker that
soould be shown, no matter wbat tbe
private, personal predicatiou may be,
with enter a jeer or a hiss. (Ap
plause ) Tbis is a deliberative body,
aud if 1 bad not thought thai the
resolution now before this Couveu
tiou really aud truthfully reflects tbe
rentimeut of tbia bodv, and tbe pub
l.c sentiment of this State, it would
utt now be before jou It in, then,
because of tie belief tbat ii does em
body those two points the general
conviction of this body and tbe pub
lie reuuoje'.t of this State tbat
these me now to be disposed of iu a
propt-r and deliberative inauuer.
The speaker then appealed lo tbe
member ol the Couveutiou to rt fleet
the sentiment of the pet pie i t tLe
Common wealth by passing the reso
lution, and ibus doing prt per honor
to the one who had once saved the
uaiiou, aud who ere long, if the pre
sent Southern seotiment continues,
aided aud abetted by Northern trai

tLe only roan to lead tbe great Re

Geueral K oot. tz, of Somerset, next
secured the floor, aud tbe purpose of
his substitution for Mr. Kooser was
soon evident, when he began a speech
in support of M .-. Stone's amendment.
Geueral Korutz, of Somerset, said :
If he understood tbe scope of the gen
tleman's (Uerr's) resolution, it was,
first, that tbis Conveution declare iu
favor of General Grant for tne Presi
dency : aud secondly, that tbe dele
gation from this State to Chicago be
instructed to act as a unit for him.
He opposed bo:h these propositions,
not specially becati.e Washington
refuged a lh rd term, but tec a so tbe
rule tbeu made has never since beeu
broken. Then, it was well kuowu
that General Grant bad not been sat
isfactory to ibe R pub'ican party,
but, ou the oir-er band, bad often
done tbe party harm. James G
Blaiue would much more perfectly
represent tbe desire of tbe Republi
cau masses of ibe Keystone State.
Mr. Morelaod, of Allegheny, spoke
in favor ot Mr. Uerr's resolution, as
fo'lows:
Mr. Morelaod, of Allegheny be
lieved tbat Pennsylvania should oc
cupy tbe position at Cnicago she is
fully entitled to. Ua gloried in the
principles ot ibe Republican party
aud her brilliaut achievements. At
ibis critical period iu tbe history ot
iho nation tbe man of all men of
.bese Uuited States for President
was Ulysses S Grant (applause) es
pecially so after the magnificent ova
lions of the past three years in for
eign lands.
Richard Darlington, of Chester,
spoke in support ot tbe amendments,
as did also C. T. Harvey of Clinton.
Mr. Stone, of Crawford, dually
got tbe fl .or in support of his own
amendment, and at tbe close of his
remarks withdrew it.
Mr. Strang then moved to amend
by strikiog out the name of U. S.
Grant uud inserting tbat of James G
Biaiue.
Ai ibis point Mr. Wolfe, of Uuioo,
got tbe fljor and spoke iu favor of J
G Blaine. He sad the voice of four
millions of people of Pennsylvania
was for tbe man from Maiue. He
Oraucbcd out in a tirade against what
he termed -'ring rule." He was in
favor of the "unit rule," but not this
unit rule. He wanted tbe delegates
sent to Chicago free aud untraiumel
ed, lo do the will of their coustuueu
cy, aud make ibis great State lelt iu
tne couucils of tbe nation.
Geu. 11. U. Bingham, of Philadel
phia, then, as a substitute for Mr.
Campion, took tbe floor, aud said in
substance tbat between ibe friends ut
Geu. Grant and James G. Blaine, of
whom be was one, there is no autag-
onisui. lie theu rtterred lo the pro
ceeding ot the delegates preliminary
to the Convention Last uigbt iu
the Biaiue caucus oue buudred and
nine delegates expressed their prefer
ence for Blaiue. Afterward, in geu
eral caucus, on a question of vital
importance, Mr. Blame's trieuds cast
oue hundred aud ten votes to oue
buudred and ffeutj-ibrci. Agaiu
to-day, on the vote fur temporary
Chairman, there were uiuety-twu
from Mr. Biaiue's frieuds to oue hun
dred aud fitty-eighk trotu all Others.
1'bere bas beeu uj disposition lu ibis
Convention to violate the rights ut
the miuurity. AH have beeu heard
patiently. As a Irieud of Mr. lilaiue,
no said Mr. i:aiue s trieuds bad no

convention lo create disorder, or to
present more than a legitimate oppo
sition to the known seutimeuts ot a
majority of tbe delegates as shown
lu tbe votes lakeu ou uielimiuary mo

and I say, as a frieud of Mr. Blaiue,
lei us go ou w ub our business aud
uot make auy record iu opposition to
tbe insj .rity distinctively as ibe
Iriends of tne Senator from Maiue.
Uu proceediug to a vote on Mr.
Strang s amendment, to insert tne
name of Blaiue lu place of Graut, the
yea.a were 1)5 aud tne nays 154, aud it
was declared lost.
Mr. S ewart called for a division ot
the question.
Tnis was ordered by the Chair,
and the couveutiou theu proceeded t-
vote on that section iustructiog tbe
Peuustlvauia delegation to vote for
U. S. Grant. Tnis a-t carried by a
vote ot 133 yeas to 113 nays.
The qucsiiou then recurred on the
laat clause of the resolution, lus.ruct
lug the delegates lo vole as a uu,
aud ibe yraa aud nays were called
lor. Mr. Wolle. however, withdrew
tbe call for ibe less and nay a ano
ibe unii clause was iLtu adopted vi

Tne Committee uu Permanent Or
ganization reported tbe follow iogcfli
ceis :
Piesideut, A. G. Olmstead, of Pol
ter; Vice Piesidents, one Irom each
Senatorial diililet; Secretaries, lieu
-y Hubu, S A. Hituer, P. D Buck
ner, T. B Cocnrau. J. A. Scrantou,
T. M. Gillespie, W. U Sausey, L.
C. Beech, and D. W. Smith.
Tne report was agreed to, and Mr.
Uiuislead, ou belug escorted lo the
chair, spoke as follows :
Gentlemen of the Convention :
It an extended speech is expected
on tbis occasion, you will be disap
poimed. 1 tbank you, for the bouor
conferred upou me.
1 shall try to discbarge the duties
you have placed upou me wub lair
ness aud impartiality.
We ate opoo ibe threshold of an
excitintr contest, ouch contests are
lucideui to our form of government;
and as population aud wealth increase
in the country, so will tbe importance
lucrease attached by ali classes aud
conditions of men to tbe selection of
our Chief Magistrate -.aud here
uonies danger to our institutions.
Tbe defeat of a great political par
ty at tbe polls led to rebellion aud
war, brought ibe Government to tbe
verge ot destruction, aud recently
tbe defeat of a great political party
at an election fairly held by tbe peo
ple of one of tbe order loving States
of 2ew Kuglaud led to such manipu
lation and chicanery to defeat ibe
popular voice as made eyery loyer of
hiacuuuiry blu-n and every timid
man tremble.
Tbe outlook for the future is, how
ever, propitious. Peace reigns, pros
perity reigns : the credit ot tbe na
tion has been restored by tbe resump
tion of specie payments; no other
nation on tbe globe dos or can main
tain so large a paper circulation at
par wub gold and silver; geueral
rootiJence exists at home and abroad
lu the faith, tbe character, aud the in
tegrity uf our G ;V.ruuiei, aud it Is
easy to discover that ibis confidence
is based largely upon the expectation
that the political party that bas safe-
ly carried tbe country through the
ordeal ol war and disorder aud thro'
tbe perils of almost fiuancial bank
ruptcy, will still retaio lis supremacy.
It is lo the Republican party .f
this country ibat the iMelUct f the
civilized world looks for the perma-oeoi-o
ut our ius'itutions and tbe suc
cess ot our Government
Our rival have shown themselves
..nw.tflliv ..t' miwsv thttO h.Da f..r-
... r. , ..
gotten tb cooniry and prostrated
everything to their inordinate greed
tor stious: iney recently made au ex-
tra session of Coagree necessary and
placed themselves in a pjsitiou of
semi-rebellion that tbey might force
tbe repeal of a law that all fair-minded
men bad decided necessary to pre
serve the purity of tbe ballot-box in
tbe great cities ; tbey are reckless of
const quences and care nothing fjr
the meaus through wbicb ibey seek
power. Every Republican should,
therefore, re u,e ruber tbat be serves
bis country while be devotes Lim.-elf
aud ail bis eneru'.es to ibe service of
bis party. In view of this iac; I
irusi we may be harmonious in our
deliberations and may all acquiesce
iu results fairly obtained
Mr. llerr, from the Commiitee on
Resolutions, presented tbe following
report, wbicb read as follows :
Rewired, first. That, n joicing ss we do
over tue steady growth of the Xational
prosperity which began in 1870 with the
change of the balance ot trade in our tavor.
and over tbe successful resumption and
maintenance of specie payments, we may
reasonably claim ibe financial soundness
aod prosperity ot Ibecouuliy as tbe natur
al result ot the financial policy we, as a
parly, have sustained.
Second. The resumption ot specie pay
ments having been accomplished at the
lime appointed by law, and the finances ot
tbe couutry bt-in"; in a thoroughly healthy
condition, we regard it as unwise to en
gage it in any new attempts at financial
legislation. The couutry is pros;erous
under our tlnaucial system as it is, and we
know no cood reason wby thttt system
should be now disturbed.
Third. Tbe persistent efforts of the
Free Traders to destroy our tariff piece
meal by legislation to lepeul tbe ditties on
special articles, admonish us ot the neces
sity ot adhering more Mroagly than ever
to the tariff policy of the past twenty years,
which has buiii up our grand system il
manufactures, losteied the revenues of the
Government, and promoted our National
prosperity. The business of the country
will not bear this tinkering ol the tariff,
and it any revision of that tiritl is to be
nitttlo at all, ii should be done through a
commission of capable men after a patient
and thorough hearing ot all parlies to the
interests involved.
Fourth. We otjuct most decidedly to all
attempts to enact a new unit through the
agency ot commercial treaties. A treaty
trained, negotiated, disctuuett, and ran tied
in secret is not a proper method of reg
Ulttliutr the revenues ot the Government.
Fifth. In view ot recent events iu Con
gress and iu the Southern States, and lat
terly in the Stale ol Maiue, we deem this
a titling opportunity to reatlirui our
adherence lo the following principles,
viz :
1st. The union of the States, with equal
rights, iudestructible by auy constitutional
incuns
ad. Protection to the person, liberty and
property of the citizens ol the Lulled Slates
iu each and every portion ol our coaiiuou
country, wherever be may chouse lo move,
demanding of him only ojedieuce lo the
laws and proiier respect lor the lights ot
others.
3d. Strict integrity in lu, filling all our
obligations, Stale and National.
4ih. Tbe iertect security ot tree thought,
free seech, aud a tree press, and ot equal
rights aud privileges lo all men every
where, irrespective ot nationality, color or
religion.
5tU. A free and pure ballot, thoroughly
protected, so every uiau entitled lo cast a
vole may Uo so just ouce at each e let uou,
without feur ot molesuaiou, moral or
physical, on account of his political faith,
nativity, or the hue ut his skin.
Oih. Honesty iu elections. The people
having tne virtue and the ueruism to gov
ern themselves, our Government must de
pend lor its stability upon honest elections.
L'util a man is cousidered inlatilous Who
Costs an Illegal vote, uur Government will
not be sale, ami whoeveri'eprives a citizen
ot his right lo vote, or ot the legal etlecl ot
his vole. Is a traitor lo uur Govemuieut,
7th. Au honest count of all voles legally
cast, and an bout si retuiu ut whoever is
elected, tree from all attempts to detraitd
the people ot their choice tnrougu tec Uui
caliiies ol by an arbitrary rejecliou ol i
their votes.
istith. We e.vend to tbe Republicans ot
Maine uur cuugraluiaiioLa over the peace
lul aud successiul resistauce to au ellorl to
delraud the people ot lhal Stale uf the
right to choose tneir owu representatives,
aud lo tue attempt lo steal the government
ot llml Stale. Our lieouullcau toriu ut
tioveruiuenl will be a sitiual lailure when
any political party can succeed in defying
the public Will as showu by tile people at
the imllul-box.
Sectnlh. We deeply regret the growing
leudeucy to throw elections aside ua mere
technicalities and in.o uttililies. The right
ot the people lo choose their public serv
ants is too sicred to be subverted upon any
pretext tbal the returns ot election are
deficient iu some trivial mailers uf lorra.
Eijhth We thank uur Senators and
Rt p.cseutatives at Washiuglou, in the last
Coutrss and in this, lur their firm adhe
sion to the Hepublicau principles and
i.Oiicy, and tor their upposuiou to Demo
cratic schemes to renew the absolute dot:
trine ol Slate Highis, and lo cripple the
government by withholding needed appro
priations iu order lo coerce legislation re
iiealiuit all National laws lhal proud the
purity ol the ballot b .x.
litivtctd, 1 hut the chairman of tbe Ke
puoiicuu Stale Committee is hereby id
sti ucled and required lo caretully examine
whether any peisou lo day pl.tCed on the
Eleit.ral ticket be legally disqualified
trotu any cause Irom sei viug as an elector.
aud lu case auy such legal disability be
lountl, the Mate Committee shall substitute
another Uauie Horn Hie same Congression
