A CROQt KITE'S PLEA.
Would you ask ne why I flirt;
I'll tell yon the reason why:
Were it not for my flirtiuj-
I would riowly droop and die.
Some may say, "it not right
To break a dear lover's heart;"
But what U all that to me
If I only play my part?
I am sure I'm not alone
In my innocence and mirth,
For all nature seems to jilt
The gay lovely scenes of earth.
The mild sunbeams doth allure
the flowers, in color, red ;
Their bloom in lorely summer
Soon all by fiwt to be shed.
And they, then even themselves.
To nod in coquettish glee
To every gentle zephyr
That is wafied o'er the lea. ,
Then you need not censure me
For I know that I am right:
I'd flirt with dear old grandpa,
When no other rows to plight.
1 wouldn't give up my flirting
For all the gay boys I know;
N'or would I e'er pledge my hand
To any chivalrous beau.
I'll not forsake this pleasure
So difference who he be,
I'll ne'er bow to any man
And live a meek Xiobe.
They say I will soon prow old
And old maiden's course pursue,
But paints, and curls, and gumming
Will then come to my rescue.
Well, what if I do grow old?
For it I care not pin,
I'll play offa "sweet sixteen"
And take some old bach'lorir.
Yet, if in all this I fail
A great consolation dear,
I'll have to know in old a-e
Of bliss, I have had my share.
I will then live at my ease,
Remembering jilted beaux;
I'll have no rough cur to please
But spend my time knitting hose.
Oh howl then ye gallant beaux,
If my beauty's made you mad !
I care not for joy or woes
But for pleosnres I have had.

He counseled harmony of - action
and a loval obedience to the will of
the Convention. "The highest qual
ification." said he, "for public trusts
are the best recommendations, and
superior fitness is a guaranty of the
most cordial support- ueiore can
didates present their names to the
Convention they know its composi
tion and the methods by which the
members have been selected, and by
a submission to their choice they
waive all objections to their compe
tency and the regularity of their
election. All of course are Repub
licans, selected by their respective
constituencies in the manner which
they chose to adopt or assent to, and
no llepublican has the right to as
sume that any delegate is not the
representative of the people he is ac
credited to represent And no Re
publican has a right to assume that
any candidate is supported or nom
inated, for any other reason that his
personal merits, simply upon the
ground that interested competitors
and their friends make such allega
tions.
"It is not for this Convention, nor
for competitors for its nominations,
to punish or reward the members
of the party for political friendships
or personal hostilities. The politi
cal promotion of any man fit for the
place is no just cause of complaint
to any one who is not ambitious for
it, let it be shown that his merits
entitle liira to the promotion.
We are preparing for the future.
We are making a record by which
we will be judged by the people,

resentment of disappointed ambi

the dead past bury its dead.
What the party has done in the
past, it will maintain in the present
and promote in the future ; and
the guaranty ot iuiniiment wm be
the selection of the best men for the
positions to be tilled at the next elec

James Milliken, of Centre, a man

ignated to present his name to the
consideration of this Convention.
The story of his life, his accom
plishments, his achievements to
gether with my personal knowledge
of his great worth have so endear
ed him to my heart that I almost
fear to trust myself to speak lest yoa
may think my heart has got the bet
ter of my understanding.
Ue,of whom I speak, sprang from
that stock of hardy, law-abiding,
God-fearing men who, within our
State, have left their impress alike
upon nature's rude forms, upon the
laws of the Commonwealth, and upon
the religious faith of the people, and
faithfully has he kept pure his in
heritance. An orphan at three years of age,
and although denied the advantages
of wealth, a graduate ol college at
nineteen, and ere he attained to
years of manhood quaiiHed for the
practice of law : with the same rap
idity pushing forward in ail things
that his hands found to do : fore-
i most in the organi-ation of every
: eood work that aimed at the wel
fare, the prosperity and the peace of
society, he reacnea nis majority in
the vigor of health, full of ambition
and hope, without reproach or stain
and ready for life's conflicts.
Within two short years from this
period of hid lr' war's dread alarms
were sounded Ucnehout our land,
Neighbor meets neighbor with the
startlinn inquiry--who can go?
Those too young must not, those too
old cannot, some are ill equipped,
and some, alas, will not But our
hero, scholar, soldier, friend, makes
answer. 'Ready! are, ready!' His
magnetic impulse sways the judg
ment and the emotions of men, and
soldiers brave and lo?';! as the world
ever knew, crowd around him to
fill the ranks of bl", command.
From out the workshop, from off the
farms, from the slopes of our grand
mountains they come and join him.
The shrill life, the rattling drum,
his word of command,stirall hearts,
and with words of cheer amidst
voices of fervent prayer, forgetful of
their own sacrifices, conhaing their
near and dear ones to those who re
main behind-they an off to the war.
His record in the war ha become
a part of our times, it has entered in
to and become a part of the history
of our country. You all do know
it well. He came back to us a
maimed soldier; his brothers and
many others of his comrades sleep
"Where glory guards with solemn ronnl
The hivonac of the dead
and to all we owe more of honor
than the l;ving can ever r;pay.
The people who have sent us here
demand that he whom they claim as
one of themselves shaH . be our
standard bearer in our coming polit
ical contest They knew that one
so well tried we can well trust He
is from the people and stands in
their behalf. He knows no faction
of party, he will approve no meas
ures save such as are clearly for the
best interests of the whole people
and of the Commonwealth. Emi
nent in his profession, bold in the
hour of trial, fearless in the face of
danger, pure of purpose, honest in
every impulse, I name to you the
citizen soldier, General James A.
Beaver for Governor of Pennsylva
nia.
KAVVLE FOR Sl'PREME JUDGE.
Next in order was the nomination
of a Judge of the Supreme Court
Silas M. Pettit, of Philadelphia, was
first on his feet to say a good word
for William Henry Rawle. After
eulocizins in the most compliment
ary terms Judge Sharswoocf, who is
about retiring from the Supreme
bench, and whose successor is to be
elected in November and calling at
tention to the consequent necessity
of nominating a man fit to fill Judge
Sharswoods' chair, Mr. rettit, said :
"For more than sixty years the
name of Rawle has been associated
with Pennsylvania jurisprudence,
and has taken high place and holds
high rank both in the literature and
in the annals of tbe American Bar,
and the distinguished gentleman
whom I have had the honor to name
to you, both by his labors as an au
thor and bis services as an advocate,
has given full assurance and abun
dant proofs that in him, the bar
and the people of our grand Com
monwealth will nnd one in every
way able to judge and impartially to
decide the various controversies
which naturally arise from their
complex industries and their vast
wealth. As a legal writer Mr.
Rawle has produced works of such
patient industry and laboring re
search, written with such clearness
and such force of reasoning that to
day they are accepted as standard
authority not only in the courts of our
own State, but of all our sister States
and of the United States. His fame
as a jurist has even crossed the At
lantic, and his books are now accept
ed authority in the courts of West
minster Hall." Mr. Pettit, contin
uing, told how Mr. Rawle had twice
taken up arms in the defense of his
country. He mentioned that he was
the tenth man to sign the roll for
the organization of the Union League
of Philadelphia ; referred to his fear
less Republicanism, and paid a
glowing tribute to his personal worth
and virtue.
MAJOR BROWN'S NAME PRESENTED.
John Dalzell, Esq.. nominated
MaiorA. M. Brown, of Pittsburgh,
and spoke as follows:
Sir. Chairman and Gentleman oj the
Convention:
If we may find at this time with- j
in the ranks ot the Republican par-j
ty in this State any gentleman of un
doubted loyalty to its principles;
not identified with clique or faction,!
who is at the same time a lawyer of
ability, integrity and reputation, and
commands in a marked degree the1
respect and approval of the people
at large, such gentleman would be a
conspicuously fit person to nomi
nate as our candidate for the office
of Justice of the Supreme Court
This is. beyond all question, a try
ing year for political parties in this
Commonwealth. Never before has
party been divided from party by
such apparently shadowy lines.
It has even been said that parties
now representtendenciesratherthan
issues, and that substantial issues
there are none. Hence the crying
! .fit. j: il.
factions, and bastard loyalty which 1
substitutes for the party, individuals
and cliques the part of the whole
men and office and personal ag
grandizement for the popular weal.
The crying complaint of the times is
against the tilling of oflices in vio
lence of popular choice. All this
tends to magnify the responsibility
mvoivea in tne selection of candi

gregate purity of individuals, and
party power as surely declines when
individual character is ignored in the

cnoice oi public orncers as indi vidua
power ceases with loss of persona!
reputation.
I do not mean to advocate the
maxim "men, not principles,"
wnicn embodies no more of politic
al wisdom than does that other false
maxim, "principles, not men.
There is no safety for the State when
either is divorced from the other.
and the popular suffrage is asked for
anytning snort ol both principles
and men. But the lesson of the
hour surely is, that if party creeds
ainer more in words than ideas, even
mougn one or them be but a mask
that party shall pluck the victory
whose banner is carried by the good
liest men ; that, if other things be
equai, cnaracter and ntness shal
win the day.
"Peace conferences," and this con
vention, and all conventions that
may be held w hile time endures.
may declare "that public offices con
smuie a high trust to be adminis
tered solely for the people
nun toe same emciencv. economy
and integrity a3 are axpected in the
execution ot private trusts," and
such declarations will be barren of
results unless, and until, public offi
cers are selected upon the same con
siderations of fitness and with the
same care as influence the selection
of administrators of private trusts.
Our duty here to-day calls us to
the declaration of such principles as
are consistent with the history of a
glorious party, but demands also as
a pledge of our sincerity that we
place the riht men on any platform
we make. I'ersonnl punty, acknowl
edged com etency, a devotion to the
principles t the Kepubucan party
as they have been and still are de
clared, with no divided loyalty to
man, men or faction, and added to
these tbe spontaneous, uncontrolled
indorsement of the people at large;
these are the essential qualifications
to be possessed by any man worthy
the suffrages of this convention and
the people it represents, for any oflice
within their possible gilt
But when the oflice to be filled is
that of a judge of our highest court,
then are there especial considera
tions to be weighed. To sit in that
court as one of its Justices is to renp
an honor worthy any man s ami.i
tion, and involves grave responsibil
ities. Its history is one long line
of light, without intervening cloud,
shadow, or break. No man sitting
as a judge in that tribunal has ever,
in any way, tarnished the spotless
purity of its ermine. It has never
felt the foul breath of suspicion, and
in its presence the fouler tongue of
slander has withered ere ever it
apake. For strength of reasoning,
accurate and thcrough knowledge ot
legal principles, and all the qualities
that establish faith in law as the
embodiment of Justice, history fails
to point to its superior ; while there
have been those of its judges that
among all men, the wide world over
and all times included, need call no
man master. Over its sacred door
way may be written in letters of liv
ing light that sentence from the Mag
na Charta of King John, glowing
through the mists of more than two
centuries, to which it has ever lived,
true "we sell to no man, we will de
ny no man, or defer right or justice."
It is, in spite of prophecy and theory,
an enduring monument of the peo
ple s ability to rule in wisdom; tn
unanswerable argument in favor of
an elective judiciary. Allegheny
county has a man worthy, she thinks,
and we trust you shall think so too,
to sit on the bench of that Court
His name is Adam Mercer Broirn,
and we ask that it be inscribed upon
our ticket as the the nomination of
this convention. I do not believe in
eulogy for tbe living, and this man
needs nothing more than tbe ungild
ed truth. Measured by the stan
dard that I have already outlined,
he will stand the test A Kepubli
can of Republicans, from the birth
of the good old party until this hour,
he has lent to the maintenance of its
principles both heart and brain,
voice and pen, and a life consistent
with its doctrines. Never an" oflice
holder nor an oflice seeker, he be
longs to no clique or faction ; is nc
man's man ; has no entangling al
liances, and can be celled by no
name but Republican. He is be
fore you to-day with the indorse
ment of the ttepubiicans oi vt estern
Pennsylvania, at least, without qual
ifying distinction.' Thirty years
of practice at the bar has given
him the ripe experience whose fruits
are justly the property of the Com
monwealth, lo tne intellect oi a
lawyer, education and training have
added the character without which
a lawyer's talents arc for evil and
not for good. Two qualities he has
that, in my humble judgment, are
the crown and glory for a Judge a
saving common sense ana supem
moral courage. For, believe me, a
cowardly Judge is worse than a cow
ardly GeneraL A Judge,of all men,
should never falter. He must stand
like a tower, four-square to all the
winds that blow. Neither wealth
nor power, organized or unorganized,
nor prejudice, nor popular clamor,
though it roll to the foot of the
Bench, may affect the Judge wno is
worthy to sit in our highest tribu
nal. .
I name a man for you with the
courage to face and down them all.
There is no bar sinister on his escut
cheon. His reputation is unsulli
ed ; his honor above question.
He is in all respects qualified to con
strue and declare the law. ith
hia name on our ticket the future
can have in store for it nothing but
success. It will appeal to party loy

all the great interests within our

respect ; it will also arouse enthu

prophecy of defeat
With this name on our ticket we
shall sweep Western Pennsylvania
like a resistless hurricane. From
all its towns and hamlets, and vil

MARSHALL NOMINATED.
Before the calling of the roll was
half over, Marshall's nomination
was assured, and even before the
vote was announced a motion, offer
ed by Hayes, of Chester, to make
the nomination unanimous, was
carried amid enthusiasm bv the con
vention, and except the 176 votes
secured by Mr. Marshall, the result
of the ballot was not announced ia
detail.
The committee on resolutions pre
sented the following platform and
resolutions, which were adopted
without discussion or comment of
any kind, except that those resolu
tions which were inserted as reform
sentiments elicited a great deal of
laughter from the delegates eener-
ally.
THE PLATFORM.
The Republican party of the State
of Pennsylvania, in convention as
sembled, do reaffirm the principles
of justice, equal rights, honesty and
economy in the national and State
administration upon which the party
was lounded, and upon which it has
so long and continuously triumphed,
and does hereby resolve that it has
always been the aim and purpose oi
the Republican party to carefully
guard the interests of the laboring
classes bv all suitable legislation.
and to that end the protection of
American industry bv advocacy of a
continuance of proper and judicious
tariff is enjoined upon our senators
and representatives in congress.
Hemced, That as the sense of the
great body of the Republican party
of the S:;.te of Pennsylvania we de
clare: 1. That we unequivocally con
demn the use of patronage to pro
mote personal political ends, and re
quire that all offices bestowed with
in the party shall be upon the sole
basis of fitness.
2. That competent and faithful of
ficers should not be removed except
for cause.
3. That the non-elective minor of
fices should be filled in accordance
with rules established by law.
4. That the ascertained popular
will shall be faithfully carried out in
State and national conventions, and
by those holding oflice by the favor
of the party. -
d. That we condemn compulsory
assessments for political purposes,
and proscription for failure to re
spond either to such assessments or
to requests for voluntary contribu
tions; and that any policy of polit
ical proscription is unjust and cal
culated to disturb party harmony.
b. lhat public oflice constitutes a
h:.gh trust to be administered solely
for the people whose interests must
be paramount to those of persons,
not parties, and that if should be
invariably conducted with the same
efficiency, economy and integrity as
are expected in the execution of pri
vate trusts.
7. That the State ticket should be
such as, by the impartiality of its
constitution and the high character
and acknowledged fitness of the
nominees, will justly commend it
self to the support of the united
Republican party.
lieaol&d. lhat it is the duty of
the Federal government to adopt a
policy which will result in observing
good faith with the aborigines; by
keeping intruders out of tbe Indian
Territory; by enacting laws protect
ing life and property on the reser
vations; by prohibiting tribe re
movals; by educating all Indian
children iu manual labor schools,
and by giving lands in severalty,
and eventually citizenship to all
self-supporting Indians ' who desire
the same.
Remixed, That we deeply deplore
the loss sustained by us, in common
with the other portions of our na
tion, in the death of President Jas.
Garfield, who exemplified by his
whole life and public career all those
principles which constitute the high
est type of American manhood, and
who, when stricken down by the
hand of a cowardly assassin, show
ed by his fortitude and heroic pa
tience that his profession, that he
was ready to give his life for his
country, was not an empty boast
Retolvtd, lhat we heartily sympa
thize with tbe widow and mother of
our late President and his bereaved
children, and we say to them that
his life and memory are the richest
egacy which could have been be
queathed to them. '
Resolved, That the administration
of President Chester A. Arthur, com
menced under such sad and trying
circumstances, has proved to bewise,
conciliatory and efficient, and is en
titled to the cordial support of every
Republican.
liemlted, That under the admin
istration of our worthy and able
Governor, Henry M. Hoyt, the af
fairs of our State have been wisely,
honestly and economically adminis
tered. The interests of the taxpay
ers of the State have been carefully
guarded, and his administration is
worthy of the confidence of every
citizen.
Rewired, That tbe ticket nominat
ed this day combines purity of per
sonal character with eminent abil
ity, is worthy ot the hearty and un
divided support of every true Re
nnblican. and for its election we
hereby pledge our earnest efforts.

STIRRING ADDRESS FRON CEX. BEAVER.
General Beaver being invited be
fore the convention, wasintroduced
by the chairman, waived with en
thusiasm and spoke as follows:
Representatives of the Republi
cans of Pennsylvania: I am here in
obedience to your request The com
mittee of your body who have con
veyed thot request have also inform
ed me of your action in naming me
as the candidate of the Republican
party of Pennsylvania for the suf
frages of the people in the approach
ing election for chief magistrate of
our great Commonwealth. I am not
insensible to the distinguished honor
which you have conferred on me by
the voice of this great convention.
A man would be strangely Licking
in feelings which are common to our
humanity whose heart could fail to
be stirred by pleasurable emotion
in view of this action, and yet you
will allow me to say, and win no
doubt assent to the saving, that this
nomination is an empty honor unless
you fairly represent in its bestowal
thefree will and untrain neled choice
of your great constituency. Did I
not believe this was the t t you
could not prevail upon me t. stand
as the representative ' the grand
political party whose pi. t hi.-iory is
the best guarantee ot its future
policy. If you do not believe this
is the fact,- r pray yon cancel this
nomination here and now, and select
some gentleman whom yon ana I
can join in supporting as the true
exponent of pure Itepublicanira
and the unbiased choice of the ma
jority of the party.
1 am not much ot a politician,
have but little political experience,
and consequently lay no claim to
the sagacity which large experience
brings. But I have faithfully and
earnestly endeavored to learn in the
preliminary canvass which has re
sulted in this nomination what the
wishes of the masses of the Republi
can pa?ty were in regard to it. I
have not sought individual support,
nor- bargained for political influence,
but I have been solicitous to know
the popular will. Believeng you
have registered that will aid given
utterance to the voice of the people,
I accept this nomination, not boast
fully, not unthinkingly, but under
a keen sense of the responsibility
which popular confidence implies
and begets. I have carefully noted
the instructions under which some
of you have cast your votes to-day,
and whilst I am painfully aware I
fall very far short of the picture of
the man whom you were instructed
to support for this nomination, I am
nevertheless impressed with the fact
that the people in many parts of the
Commonwealth have set up a high
ideal to which they expect the nom
inee of this convention for the office
of Chief Magistrate to attain. Ican
not expect to reach the full measure
of their high standard,but I will come
only as far short of it as tbe ability
which God has given me, backed by
an honest purpose and an earnest
effort, will enable me to reach.
I have made no pledges to liv
ing man wbat my future course
shall be. I can make nono now or
hereafter except this : In approach
ing the political campaign the har
mony and success of the Republican
party shall be the one great object
of desire and effort on my part ; and
if your action should be ratified it
the polls, the welfare of the whole
people shall be the pri me object of my
solicitude, thijir will my inspiration
and my highest aspiration to liev
their commands as legally expressed.
You will pardon these personal
remarks, ordinarily out of place, but
the circumstances under which we
meet, and the evident misunder
standing of my position by many
right-thinking people, render them
not only appropriate but necessary.
And now as to the principles which
you have enunciated as expressive of
the sentiments of your constituency.
They are not only correct as princi
ples, but tbey must be iaitbtullv
and honestly carried out in practice.
They are not only beautiful as senti
ments, but they must regulate and
control the life of the party. The
, ,u
" V """If

right, and therefore we can advocnte
them, stand by them, uphold thtm,
- - i
and insist upon their practical appli
cation in the party government and
the legislation which will give them
life and efficiency. Public trust
means public service. He who ac
cepts it becomes the servant of all,
and in administering it he enjoys the
most who serve the best
This is not the time, nor is this the
place, for the discussion or detail ol
the principles which you have an
nounced as the matured thought of
the party. If life and health are
spared I propose to carry the stand-1
rrl iirtnn wr hih thev irmcribed into 1
every county of the Commonwealth,
1 , -
and, with the aid of those who be
lieve with me they are verities, to
bring them before every intelligent
thinking man in the State. This
; ctaiidard which you present is the
i tricolor ol' harmony, of purity in'
j party government, and of the whole
; people. And now, as I take it from
jyour hands, I pledge' you. and I
J pray you to join in the pledge, that
togetner we wu carry it to a giorius
an4 triumphant victory.
Vpnn the conclusion "of the addr
the delegates cheered Beaver, arid
waved their hats eothusiasticalfv.
The convention' then adjourned. H
is understood - Hon. Thomas V.
Cooper, of Delaware county, wil
again be made chairman of the State
Central Committee.

from persons and the friends of per
sons who desire to be appointed

near Hot Springs, Arkansas, eight
years ago.
Two young girls had a fight in a
street of Reading, and one of them
was so badly injured that it is doubt
ful if she ever fully recovers. A dis
graceful part of the affair was that
two fellows, escorts of the combatants
left them struegle with each other
till the weaker was all but killed.
She was kicked about, jumped upon,
and finally left unconscious on a
porch.
