RKPL'RMCAN STATE COSTEXTIOX.
.Senator Quay Wins with Hands Down.
An Harmonious Convention Af
ter all.
The Republican State Convention
at Harrisburg on Wednesday of last
week was perhaps the largest and
most interesting ever held in Penn
sylvania. Several days previous to
the date set the Capital City began
to fill up with interested spectators
from all over the State, and by
Wednesday morning the the town was
fairly swarming with humanity. On
Tuesday night two caucuses were
held, one by the delegate friendly to
Senator Quay, and the other by those
friendly to Governor Hastings. At
the Quay caucus 159 delegates au
swered to their names and an
nounced themselves as ready to sup
port the Seuator in his fight. This
virtually settled the contest for the
State Chairmanship, and while his
opponents still held out, it was notice
able that the fight was at an end.
Chairman Gilkeson called the con
vention to order at 11:45 and the
calling of the roll of delegates dis
closed the fact that every district was
represented, all contests having been
settled by a conference of the two
sides. The first and only test of
strength was on the election of a tem
porary chairman. Col. Henry Hall
of Fittsburg, was supported by the
Gilkeson side, and Congressman J.
B. Robinson of Delaware, by the
Quay side. The vote resulted 163J
for Robinson to 1331 for Hall. There
was no speech-making indulged in,
aside from a few humorous remarks
by the veteran Tom Cooper, who had
the convention in a roar of laughter
for about ten minutes. Governor
Hastings was made permanent chair
man, and then Col. Henry Hall, in a
glowing tribute named his lifelong
friend Benjamin J. Haywood for
State Treasurer. His nomination
was made by acclamation. In the
course of his remarks Mr. Hall said :
"It is ray pleasant duty to name lor
the important position of State Treas
urer one whose standing as a citizen,
record as a public servant and labors
as a Republican all combine to make
him such a candidate as any Repub
lican may be proud to support. He
is a Pennsylvania!! by birth, a Re
publican by conviction, and a man
whose honor and honesty no mau
dare question. He has been elected
to office by the voters of his own
county; he has held an important
Federal position; he is to-day dis
charging the onerous duties of cash
ier of the State Treasury, and in ev
ery position ho has been faithful and
efficient.
"To Dominate him for State Treas
urer is but to promote him for merit.
I speak from ruy heart. He has
been my lifelong friend. I know
him, and knowing him as a true man,
a capable official and an unfaultering
Republican, it is with pride and
pleasure that I Dominate for State
Treasurer Benjamin J.Haywood, of
Mercer county."
Senator Quay then placed iu Dom
ination the six Superior court judges
named for the Dew bench recently by
Gov. Hastings, and they were also
nomiuated by acclamation. They
are: Gen. James A. Beaver, Charles
E. Rice, E. N. Willard, George Ii.
Orlady, John J. Wickbam and
Howard J. Reeder.
The uext interesting point was
reached when Senator Quay was
placed in nomination for Chairman,
of the State Committee. Chairman
Gilkeson, who held the proxy of one
of Bucks county's delegates arose
nnd said : "It is evident to my mind
what the result w ill he over the chair
manshift fight. I therefore iu the in
terest of peace and with perfect cou
fideuce iu the ability of my successor
withdraw as a candidate and move
that the election of Keuatur M. S.
Quay be made unanimous." And
amid the wildest enthusiasm Senator
Quay's election was made unanimous.
The adoption of the platform was
an easy task when the committee hav
ing it in charge had made its report.
It has the right sound, and will meet
with the hearty approval of all loyal
Republicans and citizens who believe
in clean politics and a wise adminis
tration of National, State and Mu
nicipal affairs. Read it:
thk rr.vrpo&M.
Wo accept unroservodly (ho determina
tion enunciated by the Republican Na
tional convention ol 1S2; that we do
niand tho use of both gold and silver
money, with such restrictions and under
audi provision, to be determined by leg
islation, as will secure tho maintenance
of the parity of values of tho two metals,
so that the purchasing and debt paying
power of tho dollar, whether of silver,
gold or paper, shall at all times ba equal.
Faithful to tho Republican party nnd
believing it to be the settled doctrino of
tho party that tho honor of the nation
and the Interests of Its citizen require
the maintenance of a national currency,
every dollar of which, whether In gold,
silver or notes, shall bo of a stable value
and of equal purchasing power, this con
vention hereby declares Its opposition to
tho debasement of the national currency
by the admission ol silver to free and un
limited coinage at the arbitrary ratio of
10 to 1.
Wo doclare aur continued adherence to
the protective policy which lias been so
sturdily championed for 100 years by tho
great mon of our State and of our nation,
and to the acceptance of which policy by
tho Republican party the country owes
all tho prosperity it lias enjoyed during
the last 30 years.
We Insist upon the passage of such leg
islation as will secure tho restoration and
maintenance of this policy without qual
ification or abatement.
We ehargo the Democratic party; un
der Mr. Cleveland's leadership, jvlth tho
precipitation upon the country in the
early part of 189,"?, of the most disastrous
industrial and financial panic in our his
tory, which was caused by the open
threat ot Mr. Cleveland to destroy the
protective policy, Bnd the fear thut other
radical and destructive legislative
changes would be attempted under the
same leadership. Tho country has had
an object lesson In destructive stateman
Bhip which it will not soon forget.
We rejoice that the scheme of Mr.
Clevoland and other free traders to Inflict
upon the country the Infamous Wilson
tariff bill, as passed by the House of Re
presentatives, was defeated in the United
States Senate. One year ago a larihT bill
which embodies substantial, although
not com plete, concessions to tho protec
tive policy, became a law without the
President's signature Such a measure
of prosperity as the country enjoys to
day is duo to the radical changes made
by tho United States Sonate in the Wil
son bill and to the subsequent election
of a now Congress, pledged to resist the
Cleveland free trade policy. We thank
the Republican members of the House
of Representatives from Pennsylvania
for their activity in exposing thedestruc
tive character of the Wilson tariff bill as
passed by the House of Representatives
and we thank the Republican Senators
from Pennsylvania for their eflicient
help in securing its defeat. Especially
do we thank Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay for bis heroio resistance to the bill
throughout many weary months, leading
tho Republican opposi'iou to its enact
ment, and finally compelling tho Demo
cratic majority in the Senate to- agree to
the substitution of many protective du
ties for its free trade provisions.
Wo charge upon the Democratic party
the present condition of the Federal
Treasury, which presents a constantly
giowing deficit iu revipts as compared
with expenditures, compelling tho bor
rowing of money in large amounts at ex
orbitant premiums in time of peace to
maintain the credit of tho govermont.
For two years the Democratio party has
had complete control of the executive
and legislative branches of the National
government, yet it has failed utterly to
provide sufficient revenue to meet the
ordinary wants of the government. For
Its failure its responsibility is absolute,
and it has exhibited to the world such
inebility and faithlessnes in the dis
charge of the high trust committed to
its care that its history continues to ex
cite tho contempt and distrust of all
thoughtful citizens.
We favor the adoption of a fixed and
well-considered policy for the perma
nent betterment of the highways of the
State, so that the means of communica
tion by private conveyance between the
farms of the State and the neighboring
markets shall be improved and encour
agement be given to the enlarged use of
these highways by our citizens. We
continue to demand the enactment of
such legislation as will prevent the im
migration of paupers, criminals and
persons incapable either physically or
mentally of self-support, and we indorse
the bill that passed the House of Repre
sentatives prepared and introduced by
our distinguished Congressman lion.
William A. Stone.
We commend the splendid administra
tion of Gov. Daniel II. Hastings, which
has fully justified the confidence- iu him
of the voters of tho Commonwealth, aa
expressed in the enormous majority
given him last fall.
Resolved, That we decry tho growing
use of money iu politics and the corpo
rate control of legislatures, municipal
councils, political primaries and elec
tions, and favor the enactment of legisla
tion and enforcement of laws to correct
such abuses. We earnestly insist upon a
form of civil service which will prevent
tho enslavomeiit oi public officers and
employees and tho compelling of those
appointed to preserve the poace to con
fine themselves to thoir duties, which
will iiiEure absolute freedom and fairness
iu bestowing State and county and mu
nicipal contracts and will punish any
form of favoritism in granting thoin j
which will forbid tho grunt of exclusive
franchises to deal in public necessities
and comforts and sanitary requirements,
and w ill insure the recognition of ability
and fidelity in tho public service, keep
ing service to the country ever foremost
when accompanied by ability and fitness.
We demand tnat public office should
be for the public benefit and its teini iu
subordinate positions should be during
good behavior. No public employer or
ollicer should be permitted to iiilluence
primaries ur elections, uor upon any pro
tense to bo assessed upon his salary, and
ull unnecessary positions and salaries
should lie abolished and expenditures
anil taxation reduced; there should be a
uniform basis of valuation on property
for public purposes; corporations enjoy
ing public privileges should pay for
them and schools should bo divorced
from politics and kept absolutely from
political influence anil control.
