The platfobm adopted at Harris burg if long, but it is "mighty good reading" for all intelligent Republi cans. QrAy HAr TOtes enough to nomi nate bim on first ballot without Philadelphia. So for once that city didn't "rule the roost" Is the Convention last week Messrs. Sanner and Adams voted for Col. Quay, and V. B. Frease, Esq., for Hon. J. H. Longenecker. ' At the State Teachers' Conven tion at Harrisbnrg last week, a reso lution was unanimously passed pledging abstention from the use of tobacco. . The President is going to take to the woods in a few days. He thinks be can stand the gnats and mosqui toes better than he can the office seeking bores. For aix practical purposes, Col. Quay's nomination was unauimous before a ballot was taken. This proves how heartily and thoroughly the party is united. There are not many political eunuchs among Republican office holders, and therefore the President has but little trouble in ' spotting" "offensive partisans." The Convention concluded last week that the party couldn't have a better Chairman of the State Com mittee than Senator Cooper, and therefore he was Again elected. The esteemed Philadelphia Pret mournfully but decorously falls in at the tail of the procession. It has discovered that it was mistaken when fancying it was at the head. Thi iwdav last was the hottest day of the year. The thermometer reached the nineties in many places. Deaths from sunstroke are reported from numerous points throughout the country. Judging from the tone of the Re publican journals all over the State, the nomination of CoL Quay is be ing ratified with 88 much unanimity by the people, as it was made by the delegates. The "old machine" must have been well oiled to make it give Quay 19C1 votes out of a total of 250. Perhaps the growlers and kickers will, for once, admit that the people, not the machine did it At the State Con vention last week Capt M. R. Adams, of this County, was made one of the Vice Presi dents; Capt W. H. Sanner was a member of the platform committee, and J. R. Scott, Esq., was appointed a member of the State Committee. Secretary Lamar, who ordered the U. S. flag to be placed at half mast when the traitor Jeff Thomp son died, neglected to have it raised on the 4th inst At Salt Lake the Mormons placed the National colors at half-mast in derision of the day. The editor of the Philadelphia Pre hankers after crow, judging from the pertinacity with which be seeks that kind of diet The con vention last week furnished him with an ample supply to last the balance of the season. Governor Pattjso is amusing himself this hot weather by vetoing a large portion of the bills sent to; him during the last day of the Leg islature. The moat trifling excuses for kicking the a- lion are greed ily seized by his Eacellejcy. The National flag was not hoist ed over the Interior Department or the Department of Justice in Wash ington, on the 4th of July. Both the cabinet officers presiding over these departments were rebel briga diers,and presumably thus indicated their contempt for the National An niversary. Senator Loxgekecker was not nominated last week, but he ran the gauntlet of the State press without harsh or unkind word being said against bim, outside of this County. He was simply unfortunate in tak ing the field after Quay bad a good start, and in being backed by the Philadelphia Pre with offensive, dictatorial, bulldozing methods. The State Convention resolved last week that hereafter these assem blages shall be held during the last week in August, except in years when candidates for President and Governor are to be nominated. This will shorten the campaign in "off. years," and avoid the sweltering beat usaaily felt in the early days pf Ju ly, when the State Capital is like a fiery furnace seven times heated. Oaijic t the swarms of office meters that oocsaume so much of tb ti8M that be would otherwise devote to business aflairt, the Presi dent has been constrained to give no tice that hereafter An Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays be will see only the officers of hia cabinet on the greed for office displayed by the hungry and thirsty democracy! The Pennsylvania railroad and the Vanderbilt people are trying to harmonize their differences, and put an end to rate-cutting between them. jThis has given the "knowing onee" the opportunity lor asserting mat the basis of peace is to be the aban donment of the South Penn'a. road. To agree to the leas of the five mil- j lions already expended on the South Penn would be paying rather dearly for peace, in the estimation of most folks. The Vanderbilt people are not quite so reckless with their cash. Is thm issue of the Heralb will be found the new revenue law pass ed by the late Legislature. It makes vital changes in the methods of tax ation, and should be studied by the taxpayers so that they will be pre pared to meet its requirements when the Assessors call upon tbem in the performance of their duties. To persons with monied investments it is of particular interest The new duties imposed upon the Prothono taries and Recorders throughout the State, for which no compensation is provided, will not strike these offi cials as being particularly agreeable. The feature of greatest interest to the taxpayers of this County is the reduction of tax on money at inter est, from four to three mills, and the stringent and carefully guarded pro visions for the assessment and col lection of that tax. By the unanimous nomination of Colonel Quay the Philadelphia Pres received a stinging and humiliating rebuke. Under tbe pretext of a self-flacrificing devotion to the wel fare of the Republican party in this State, that journal waged a malicious warfare against Mr. Quay from the date of his announcement as a can didate. By bluster, by innuendo, by misrepresentation of his strength, by attempting to revive past divis ions and strife in the ranks, it labor ed to compass bis defeat Its utter lack of influence is shown by the fact that nearly the entire delegation from its own city voted for Mr. Quay, that on first ballot he receiv ed the votes of more than three fourths of the delegates in conven tion, and that among his warmest supporters were many of the former leading Independents whom it at tempted to array against him. From a self-constituted and arrogant lead er, the Pre has fallen to be a mere camp follower, the butt of the great army it vainly fancied it was com manding. The nomination of Col. Mathew S. Quay by tbe Republican State Convention last week, was simply a ratification in form, of the choice of the Republicans of this State. Public sentiment pointed so unmis takably to Mr. Quay s nomination, in advance of the Convention, as to leave the delegates but little else to do than register the wishes of their constituents. In many years there has been no such unanimity exhibited in favor of an aspirant for popular favor. All of the rival candidates were gentlemen of great personal worth with irreproachble public and private records, but so great was the esteem in which Mr. Quay is held by the Republican masses, that he receiv ed more than three fourths of the votes of the people's representatives on thefirst ballot For years Mr. Quay has been an acknowledged leader in the Republican party, and although holding important and prominent positions by appointment, this is his first appearance as a candidate seek ing public support His conceded ability, his great political sagacity and his high personal character have given him a foremost place in the ranks of his party, and with this coin of vantage his nomination was almost an assured fact from the moment he entered the canvass. In turning to a candidate of his well known pronounced views, the Re- pumican party oi the State gives evidence of itspolitical rehabilitation, and of its intent to move forward as of old, regardless of the malcontents who have attempted its wreck, be cause they could not control it The characteristics which have made Mr Quay strong with his party, will of course draw upon him the hottest fire of the enemv, but with a nom ination so unanimous, and with reunited parly at hie back, under his skillful leadership, the result cannot for a moment be considered as doubtful. The Pennsylvania Republican State Convention yesterday defined the living issues of the day as pro tection to American industries. revival of our commercial marine, the establishment of a true system oi civil service, a iree oallot and a fair count, and the preservation of a just financial system. This is capi tal. Pennsylvania makes a good start for a stirring campaign. In ter Ocean. The influence of the Philadelphia Pre in Philadelphia politics is shown by the tact that although it fought Quay's nomination for two months with the meanest insinua tion, and the foulest Democratic ammunition, there were but four of the forty -six delegates from that city voted against Quay, and it is stated they would not have done so but that they had paper out to Long enecker in counection with tbe pas sage of the BulliU bill by the last Legislature. The Prrt advocacy is evidently much more injurious than its opposition. Johnstoitm Tribune. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the most ef fective blood-purifier ever devised.

CONVEN- Ha&bisburg, July 8. The pro ceedings of the Republican btate Convention were unaccompanied oy the u.ual brass band. The hall of the House where the delegates as sembled is small and can accomo date no ornamental features. The weather was very cot, too, and no one was in a humor lor trimmings. Tbe delegates had been carefully assigned numbered seats and had little difficulty in finding them. Manv removed their coats, lit cigars and cocked their feet upon the desks. When the convention was called to order at 10.30 and unusual number of new faces appeared men who have not generally been seen at State Conventions. The Philadel phians were seated together at the left of the main aisle and every man answered to his name except Mc Manes, who appeared soon after. The roll call developed nut one contest that of the Seventh district of Lackawanna, where both delgates were finally admitted. As soon as the roll wrs finished General Frank Reeder nominated William B. Kog- . w i e ers, oi Aiiegneny, ior temporary chairman. There was no opposi tion. Chairman Cooper named James McManes of Philadelphia, and A. W. Leisenring, of Carbon, to conduct Mr. Rodgers to the chair. As Mr. McManes was not in the hall General Reeder took his place. The epeeeh of Chairman Rodgers was brief, lie spoke merely in congrat ulation of the harmony which now exists in the party. The Secretaries named were ratton, of rhiladelpnia; Harrah, of Beaver; Beck, of Lacka wanna; Francis, of Tioga, and Lan dis of Lancaster. Then followed the naming of the customary com mittees on resolutions, credentials, permanent organization and rules. This is the most tedious process in all the proceedings. It takes the better part oi an hour to go tnrougn with it and in a hot hall people haven't any too much patience with it While it was going on more peo ple took off their coats and about two-thirds of the delegates were working fans or Btraw hats with great vigor. getting through the prelimina ries. When the committees had been completed McManes offered a reso lution that the nomination of can didates be proceeded with at once. This was done to facilitate business. It was agreed to very readily by the sweltering crowd. After the adop tion of the rule Cessna objected, but without avail. At this point bena tor Emery got inan anti-discrimination resolution, and there was a res olution to change the basis of rep resentation in the btate Convention and apportion it according to tbe Republican vote. lbse went to the comittee on platform. Having adopted an order to go on with nom inations the convention proceeded to call the counties for members of the State Committee. Here and there a delegate now drifting out after beer and drifting back again after a reasonable interval. Matters became dull so dull that when a resolution of sympathy for Grant was offered at this point there was not energy enough anywhere in the hall to insist that it should be pass ed, as it should have been with feel ing, regardless of the rules. The Chair in an indinerent sortot way turned it over to the committee on platform. THE PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. It was now 12 o'clock. The com mittee on permanent organization brought in its report, with Ex-Con gressman James S. Biery, of Lehigh, for president of the convention. There was the most comfortable unanimity in the committee and the vice presidents were distributed lav ishly. Mr. Biery congratulated the convention on tbe admirable mate rial from which it could select a candidate for State Treasurer. He dwelt for a time npon party harmo ny and awoke the convention to a little applause bv expressing the belief that the candidate nominated to-day would receive the hearty sup port of every member of the party. From this the speaker passed to a eulogy of the Republican party and an arraignment of the Democracy on account of the rebellion and the tissue ballot and the shotgun. In order that the House of Represen tatives may be purged, be was in favor of apportioning Pennsylvania so that as many Kepublicana as pos sible can be sent to Congress. This was greeted by a lively outburst of applause. The speaker closed ny invoking party union and harmony. Th committee on rules reported in favor of changing the present method of fixing the date of conven tions. It proposes to leave the mat ter with the chairman of the State committed, who shall call the con vention not earlier than the third Wednesday ot August, except in Presidential and Gubernatorial years. This was agreed to. The platform committee was not ready, and the nomination ot candidates went on. THE CANDIDATES ENTERED. Colonel A. Wilson Norris.of Phil adelphia,who had taken a proxy for tbe purpose, nominated Colonel Quay. He said be did it as a loving duty, and his speech was a splen did eulogy of the candidate. The nomination was received with en thusiasm, delegates swinging their hats and cheering. After Xorris eloquent effort tbe convention fell to listening to Cessna . presentation of Liongenecker. Before be bad named his candidate Cessna sue ceeded in scoring tbe Independ ents quite severely and toward the end he wanned things up by fighting clear through the war and nominating General beaver tor Gov ernor next-year.' This brought out a round of applause. Horace Pe'tit followed in a short speech, second' ing the nomination of Quay. Ex- Representative William Burgees, of Franklin, nominated Henry tl Greenawalt, of Franklin county, in a speech of eulogy. The people were so impatient and hungry and tired that it needed Hay Brown's sensible method of nominating McDevitt to revive their spirits. Brown's work was accomplished in as few wo:ds as could be osed to state the fact that Iancaster bad candidate. H. A Baldridge, of Blair. nominated Theodore H. Wigton, of Altoona. , WAITING FOB THE BALLOT. The nominations were now com- tilete and the convention was com palled to settle down and wait for the committee on resolutions before a ballot could be taken. While thus waiting Finley, of Washington, brought before the convention again the resolution to base the represen tation in the convention on the Re publican vote. He had previously introduced it and it had been refer red to the committee until it had adjourned. The author of the reso lution made a considerable speech on tbe subject and moved its adop tion. It received no second and some wrangling followed Aer which the resolution was buried without much ceremony by reference to tbe committee on rules. THE PLATFORM. The Republicans of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled, reaffirm their unfaltering faith in the cardi nal principles of the Republican party, and" will adhere to them so long as the contest between right and wrong continues. Beaten, but Dot cast down, in the late Presiden tial election, and advancing confi dently to another struggle they de clare, 1. The Republican party of Penn sylvania proclaims its advocacy of the repeal of the internal revenue taxes, except upon spirituous and malt liquors. The revenues nec essary for a liberal support of the government and the payment of pensions to our disabled soldiers, their widows and orphans, and the principal and interest of tbe public debt should be raised by an addi tional levy upon imports; and with a view to lift business from its pre sent and guard it against future de pression. We insist not only upon full protection to all home indus tries, but upon a prompt revival of our commercial marine and promo tion of foreign commerce by proper discount of duties upon goods im ported in American bottoms.and pro per bounties to goods exported in American bottoms. 2. The live issues of the present campaign are, Protection to American industry not only through adequate tariff laws, but such as will effectually stop the importation of foreign con labor. The establishment of a true sys tem of civil Bervice one which will give competent officers, and yet not bind either the practical thoughts or actions of American citizens one which will give a fixed tenure of office and no removal during the term except for adequate public cause. The necessity for the enforcement of the right of every voter within our national boundaries to freely cast his ballot and have the same fairly counted at all elections, and to give to each and every man, in whatever location of the land he may dwell, that equal and adequate Erotection before the law to which e is justly entitled. Ihe preservation of a sound finan cial system the maintenance of a currency with one hundred cents on the dollar, at all times redeemable in coin. The protection of the National Treasury from unwarranted and es pecially from disloyal claims. 1 he maintenance of tbe credit of our Government as established by Republican administrations, a just regard for our commercial relations j with foreign Nations, and a closer intercourse with those on the Amer ican continent To provide resolutely for the pro tection of American national and in dustrial independence. To maintain tbe standard of social condition, which, in contrast to the circum stances of other countries, American labor has thus far enjoyed. To con tinue the contest with undiminish ed courage, in behalf of our own de velopment again st the enormous in fluences of foreign capital seeking possession of our market To es tablish the truth in the government of the country ,that tbe highest duty of the Republic, not only to its own people, but to all, is to preserve its prosperous existence, thus to com pel by its example the modifica tion of harsher systems, and the political emancipation of other peo ples. To all of these general issues the Republican party of 'Pennsylvania, and we believe of tbe nation gener ally, accords its most aggressive sup port 3. The Republican party recog nizing labor as the basis on which the principle of our Government is founded, believes the laboring mas ses should receive the fullest consid eration in measures for their educa tion, advancement and protection. It has already, through its legisla tive majority, enacted laws furtber- ing the industries of the State, the interests of its mining population, proti Cling honest labor against the unwarranted competition of convict contract labor, removing taxes from manufacturing corporations, there by giving promise of remunerative employment to many now suffering from prevailing depression ; legaliz ing co-operation, productive and distributive providing for free education in industrial arts, as well as others tending to the general good of those who toil. We condemn all contracts for the importation ot foreign labor, as fend ing to reduce to starvation tbe wages of the laboring men of Pennsylva nia, and demand that the existing laws against this evil be strictly en forced. . 4. We at the same time invite public attention to tbe acts of the present Democratic National and State Administrations to the un just war of the former upon "offen sive partisans" to its hypocrite! avoidance of pledges touching the civil service, to its star chamber pro ceedings against Republicans fur whose removal no public reason can be given, and to its constantly dis loyal preference for tbe rebel ele? mente of tbe party at the South, and the semi-rebel elements of the same party at thp , North. Home attention to the acta of the Democratic State ' administration cannot be withheld, io view ot iu unjust, inexcusable and painfully frequent abuse of the veto power; iu studied proscription of the Union soldier, and denial of claims uni versally sanctioned at tbe tiiue of his enlistment; its want of charity, breadth . and liberality, together with a partisan bias carried to ex tremes not dreamt of by any of the better elements which called it into power. . . With , these administration the Republican party takes direct issue, and carries 'its appeal to a people disappointed in every reasonable ex pectation and promise. ' 5. The Republican members of tie Legislators having twice passed ap portionment bills more liberal to their political opponents than the existing law, ano the Democratic members thereof baying defeated the first measure, and a Democratic Governor having used his veto pow- er against the second.the Republican mom Kara roa npnrwirl'v ( iflih fl Tr-l r.: ":r.:..r-rrr .... premises, their action is unequivo-1 cally endorsed, and the responsibil ity for the failure of this legislation rests with the Democratic party. 6. We especially commend the ac tion of the Republican Legislature for the high regard which it mani fested toward our manufacturing, mining, farming and general labor interests, and its patriotic uud suc essful efforts to represent the inter est of the grand army of soldiers which Pennsylvania contributed to the support of the General Govern ment 7. The yearning hearts of the Re publicans Oi Pennsylvania go out with sincere affection for and sym pathy with the old hero, General Grant, in this hour of his sad afflic tion. They revere and love him for the great services he has rendered his country, and honor bim for the noble, manly fortitude with which he faces his inevitable fate. Death may rob us of him ; but he will live forever iu the hearts of his country men. Dmtraetla By wta, Ball Bat St. PACL,July 9.

Approaching the General the visitor said: "I am a Catholic cler gyman, General Grant" and then presetted his card. The General at once indicated a desire that his visitor should be seated, and when the clergyman bad seated himself beside the patient the latter took up his pad and wrote that he was unable to converse even in a whisper. The clergyman then said: "We are all praying for you, General Grant." The General, by a nCd, indicated that he bad heard what wus said and continued writing and the following Is bis note in full to the Catholic clergyman : 4,I regret very much that I cannot converse, not even iu a whisper."

A man rushed into Justice Bradford's office in South Charleston, and shouted breathlessly. "I want a warrant for a man who has run off with my wife." He was directed to a con stable, and, accompanied by the of ficer, hurried into the country. Af ter a long journey the truant wife was found munching crackers and bologna with a married man named James Tillman, of Clifton, O., with whom she eloped. The pair were marched off to the City Hall, where matters were investigated and a strange story developed. The woman. Ollie Brierlv, married Lou Brierlv at the ace of 15. Her husband seems to have been want ing in kindness, for she has been without shoes and stockings for some time. Near by lived James Tillman, a married man, and it was not long before the pair concluded to elope. After a short courtship they struck out from Clifton, their home, one day, and after resting in the woods all flight arrived at South Charles ton the next day, the fair Ollie still barefooted. -: When Brierly found bis wife gone he engaged the services of Lou Dud ley, a colored man, and a pack of bloodhounds.
