Last Thursday was a great day in St. Louis. The Convention was in session trtwn 10:30 A. M. to 7:51— nearly 9# hours. The fist business of the day was the reading of and consideration of the re port of the Committee on Resolutions. Gov. Foralter of Ohio took the platform and read the report or platform adopted by the majority of the committee, and then the Chair recognized Senator Teller of Colorado, who sent the report of the minority to the desk and had it read, and moved its adoption as a substitute for the financial "plank" of the report of the majority. Mr. Teller then made a long speech giving his reasons for object ing to the financial plank of the plat form. His speech was pathetic at times, and at its close he was loudly applauded. Foraker moved that the substitute be tabled, the yeas and nays were demand ed, and the substitute or free silver plank was tabled by a vote of 813# to 105#. The platform as read was then adopted. Senator Cannon of Utah then read a protest signed by himself, Senator Teller of Colorado, Senator Dubois of Idaho, Mr. Hartman of Montana, Mr. Cleveland of Nevada, Senator Pettigrew of S. Da kota, and others raAking 21 in all; and 1 then the party led by Senator Teller marched out of the hall, while the whole 1 convention rose and sang "Three cheers forthe red, white and blue,". Other Western delegates asserted their allegiance to the party. The states were then called for mem bers of the National Committee, and Quay was selected by the delegation of this state. There were deadlocks in one or two states, and some humorous inci dents. THE NOMINATIONS. The Chairman ected a call of the states for non^ is for President. lowa was the first state to respond and Mr. Baldwin of Council Bluffs went to the platform and nominated Senator W. B. Allison. Massachusetts was next, and Senator Lodge took the stand and nominated Thomas B. Reed of Maine. He was seconded by Mr. Littlefield of Richland. Maine. New York came next; and Chauncey M. Depew nominated G*v. Levi P. Mor ton. Ohio came next and Senator-elect Foraker nominated William McKinley. Foraker made a great speech and was interupted for nearly half an hour by cheering and singing "Rally round the Flag." His nomination was seconed by Sena tor Thurston of Nebraska. When Pennsylvania was called Gov. Hastings nominated M. S. Quay. The roll of states was again called and the ballotting began. When Ohio was called McKinley already had enough to nominate, and the convention began cheering, but the roll was completed and vote announced as follows: McKinley 661 Reed 84#, Quay 61 Morton 58 and Allison 35>4. All the men who had made nominating speeches then joined in asking that the nomina tion of McKinley be made unanimous, and that was done. Some of the delegates then wanted to adjourn for supper as the hands of the clock stood at 6:20, but the majority wanted to finish the business on hands. Nominations for Vice President wfcre called for, and Judge Fort of New Jersey nominated Garret A. HoMrt, and gave him a great "send off." Mr. Allen of Rhode Island nominated Charles Waneu Li pputt. Win. Randolf of Tennessee nominated Henry Clay Evans. J. C. Walker of Virginia, nominated James A. Walker. The first ballott resulted as follows: Hobart 533#, Evans 277yi, Bulkley 39, Walker 24, Lipputt 8, and some scatter ing votes. Hobart was declared the nominee, and at 7:51 the convention adjourned "Sine die." On President the Pennsylvania dele voted 58 for Quay, and 6 for McKinley. Quay's other votes came from' Georgia, a; Mississippi 1, and Louisiana Canton was the noisiest city on Earth last Thursday evening, and next day. The people were crazy over the nomi nation and flocked in to congratulate McKinley. Special trains came in from all the neighboring towns, and several eastern delegations on their way home stoped to see him. Several delegations also visited McKinley on Saturday. THK PLATFORM. The Republicans of the United States, assembled by their representatives in national convention, apj>ealing lor the popular and historical justification of their claims to the matchless achieve ments of thirty years of Republican role, earnestly and confidently address them selves to the awakened intelligence, ex perience and conscience of their country men in the following declaration of facts and principles: For the first time since the civil war the American people have witnessed the calamitous consequences of full and un restricted Democratic control of the go\ernment. It has been a record of r.n --p allele'! incapacity, dishonor and disas ter. IN administrative management it has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled tip the public debt by $262,000,000 iu time of peace, forced an adverse balance of trade, kept a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syndicates, and reversed all the measures and results of success ful Republican mle. In the broid effect of its policy it has precipitated panic, blighted industry and trade with pro longed depression, closed factories, re duced work and wages, halted enterprise and crippled American production while Stimulating foreign production for the American market. Every consideration of public safety and individual interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of these who have shown themselves incapable to con duct it without disaster at home and dis honor abroad, and shall be restored to i the party which for thirty years adminis tered it with unequaled success and pros perity. TARIFF, We renew and emphasize our allegiance to the policy of protection as the bul wark of American industrial indepen dence and the foundation of American development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign products and encourages* home industry; it puts the burden of revenue on foreign goods; it secures the American market for the American producer; it upholds the Amer ican standard of wages for the American workingman; it puts the factory by the side of the farm and makes the Ameri can farmer less dependent on foreign de mand and price, it diffuses general thrift, and founds the strength of all 011 the strength of each. In its reasonable ap plication it is just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monoply, to sectional discrim ination and individual favoritism. We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional , injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such an equi table tariff on foreign imports which come into competition with American products as will not only furnish ade quate revenue for the necessary ex penses of the government, but will pro tect American labor from degradation to the wage level of other lanas. We are not pladged to any particular schedule. The question of rates is a practical ques tion, to be governed by the conditions of the time and of production; the ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and industry. The country de mands a right settlement and then it wants rest. RECIPROCITY. We believe the repeal of the recipro city arrangements negotiated by the last Republican administration was a national calamity and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of American products in the ports of other countries, and secure enlarged markets for the products of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy and go hand in hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and berth must lie re-established. Protection for what we produce: free admission for the necessaries of life which we do not produce; reciprocal agreements of mutual interests which gain open markets for us in return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own market for our selves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. SUGAR. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this county. The Repub lican party favors such protection as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar which the American [ people use, and for which they pay other counties more than $100,000,000 an nually. WOOL AND WOOLENS. To all our products—to those of the mine and the field as well as to those of the shop and the factory—to hemp, to wool, the product of the great industry of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finish ed woolens of the mill—we promise the most ample protection. MERCHANT MARINE. We favor restoring the early American policy of discriminating duties for the -upbuilding of our merchant marine and the protection of our shipping in the for eign carrying trade, so that American ships—the product of American labor, employed in American shipyards, sailing unaer the Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americany—may regain the carrying of our foreign com merce. MONEY. The Republican party is undoubtedly for sound money. It caused the enact ment of the law providing for the re sumption of specie payments in 1879; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agree ment with the leading commercial na tions of the world, which we pledge our selves to promote, and until such agree ment can be obtained the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our sil- ver and paper currency must be main tained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures 'designed to maintain in violable the obligations of the United States and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened nations of the earth. PENSIONS. The veterans of the union army de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the pre ference in the matter of employment, and they are entitled to the enactment of such laws as are best calculated to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to them in the dark days of the country's peril We denounce the practice in the pension bureau, so recklessly and unjhstly car ried on by the present administration of reducing pensions and arbitrarily drop ping names from the rolls, as deserving the severest condemnation of the Ameri can people. FOREIGN RELATIONS. Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous and dignified, and all our interests in the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Ha vaiiau islands shonld be control led by the United aful no foreign power should be permitted to interfere with them; the Nicaragua canal should be built, owned and operated by the United States; and by the purchase of the Danish islands we should secure a proper and much needed naval station in the West Indies. ARMENIAN MASSACRES. The massacres in Armenia have arous ed the deep sympathy and just indigna tion of the American people and we be lieve that the United States should exer cise all the influence it can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American residents have been exposed to the gravest dangers, and American property destroyed. There and evetffwnere American citizens and American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost. MONROE DOCTRINE. We reassert the Monroe doctrine in its full extent, and we reaffirm the right of the United States to give the doctrine ef fect by responding to the appeals of any American htate for friendly intervention in case ot European encroachment. We have not interfered and shall not inter fere with the existing possessions of any European power in this hemisphere, but those possessions must not, on any pre text, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemis sliere, and to the ultimate union of the English speaking part of the continent by ihe free consent of its inhabitants. CUBA. From the hour of achieving their own independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European domina tion. We watch with deep and abiding interest the heroic battle of the Cuban patriots against crnelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined contest for liberty. The government of Spain, having l.ist control of Cuba, and being unable to pro tect the projjerty or lives of resident American citizens, to comply wfth its 11 treaty obligations, we believe th.it _ the : government of the T'nited States should actually use its influence and good offices I to restore peace anil give independence I to the island. THE NAVY. The peace and security of the republic and the maintenance of its rightful in fluence among the nations of the earth, demand a naval power commeusurate with its position and responsibility. We therefore favor the continued enlarge ment of navy and a complete system of harbor and sea coast defenses. FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. I For the protection of the quality of our American citizenship and the wage- of our workingmen against the fatal com petition of low-priced labor, we demand that the immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extend as to exclude from entrance to the United States those who can neither read nor write. CIVII. SERVICE. The civil service law was placed on the statue hook by the Republican party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforc ed, and extended wherever practical. FBEE BAEI.OT. We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast. • LYNCHINGS. We proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the uncivilized and barbarous practice, well known as lynching or kill ing of human beings, suspected or charg ed with crime, without process of law. • NATIONAL ARBITRATION. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and adjust differences which may arise between em ployers and employes engaged in inter state commerce. HOMESTEADS. We believe in an immediate return to the free homestead policy of the Repub lican party, and nrge the passage by Con gress of the satisfactory free homestead measure wnich has already passed the 1 house and is now pending in the senate. TERRITORIES. We favor the admission of the remain ing territories at the earliest practical date, having due regard to the interests of the j>eople of the territories and of the United States. All the federal officers appointed for the territories should be elected from bona fide residents thereof, and the right of self government should be accorded as far as practicable. ALASKA. We be'ieve the citizens of Alaska should have representation in the con gress of the United States, to the end that needful legislation may be intelli gently enacted. TEMPERANCE We smvpathize with all wise and legit imate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of iutemperance and promote nioral ity. RIGHTS OF WOMEN. Th# Republican party is mindful of the rights and interests of women. Protec tion of American industries includes equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work, and protection tw the home. We favor the admission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and we invite their co-operation in rescuing the country from Democratic and Populist mismanagement and misrule. THE PARTY'S PLEDGE. Such are the principles and policies of the Republican party. By these princi ples we will abide, and these policies we will put into execution. We ask for them the considerate judgment of the American people. Confident alike in the history of our great party and in the justice of our cause, we present our plat form and our candidate* in the full assur ance that the election will bring victory to the Republican party and prosiieritv to the people of the United Slates. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE. The new Republican National Com mittee met in St. Louis, Friday, filled the vacancies in the Committee and el ected M. A. Hanna,, chairman Mr. Hanna accepted the position and said: "I certainly appreciate the compliment and the confidence which goes with it, in offering me this position, whicli under ordinary circumstances I should be com pelled to decline, but under the present condition of affairs my loyalty and my love for our candidate induces me to go one step farther and see the consumma tion of this great victory for the Repub lican party. "The task which I have had before me in this present campaign though arduous, its conduct was in accordance with strict business integrity, honor and fair dealing. I wish to say further to this committee that if Maj. McKinley is elected Presi dent of the United States he will be el ected owing no man a promise that will embarrass his administration. What he owes he owes only to his country; and what he will do will be for the welfare of the Republican party. If a pure life, patriotic motives and a firm determina tion to do his duty will make his admin istration a success, the United States will have occasion to thank God for the nom ination made in yesterday's convention." (Applause). Mr. Manley was made temporary secre tary and Col. Swords, of lowa, ttie ser geant-at-arms of the old committee, was kept in that position temporarily. It was agreed that Chairman Hanna should have full authority to select all the officers of the committee, including the treasurer. At the instance of Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to: "Resolved, That the chairmnn of this committee is hereby authorized and cm powered, after consultation with the can didates for President and Vice President, to appoint an executive committee of nine members, and that the chairman of this committee shall be chairman ex officio of the said Executive committee." The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman and it is said that the next meeting will be held in New York city in about two or three weeks. REJOICING AT PATTERSON. Patterson, New Jersey, rejoiced last Thursday night over the nomination of Hobart. He is popular with every one and all classes paraded the streets and all the fire works in the city were burned up. The crowds about the newspaper and telegraph offices became so dense that the cars could not pass. When it became npparent that Hobart would be nominat ed 011 the first ballot the crowd could no longer lie restrained. Every band in the city was in waiting and they pasied into the streets. Pro cessions sprung up on every side and every factory bell was tolled. This was a signal for a general illumination of the buildings in the city. Garret A. Hobart, born on Long Branch. N. J„ in 1844. After receiving a common school education he attended Rutger's college and was graduated when 20 years old. He was admitted to the bar in 1866 and was chosen counsel of Patterson in May, 1871. In 1872 Mr. Hobart was elected assemblyman, ami during his second term he was elected speaker of the Assembly. T" 1877 Passaic county sent him to the State Senate. He closed his caiicr as a legis lator in 1881-2, when he was president of the Senate. Hobart was the Republican caucus nominee for United States States senator in 1884, when John R. McPher son, Democrat, was elected. He was New Jersey's member of the Republican National committee In 1,8.84, aud was el ected vice chairman. THE platform adopted by the St. Loui convention has caused much anger in Spain and a conflict with the United States is looked upon as about certain. The Rotlichilds have made the Spanish Government a loan of 100,000,000 pesetas to be mostly applied to the purchase of war ships. The Government is respond ing to the undoubted national sentiment, trusting probably to receiving help from other powers. It appears from aii official statements that the annual sale of beer and ale in the United States lias increased from $8,500,000 in 1576 to (36, 000,000 at the present time, which seems to show that the efforts of the Prohibitionists are con ducive to a growing taste for malt bev erages N»p.l Dow continues to make public speeches in Maine, though he has rt ach ed the age of 92. Gladstone must feel prematurely old to be advised by his physioipn to quit the platform at 86.

They are good read ing and ought to he printed in every Re publican newspaper in the land. Head tnem. "Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: It would be exceedingly dif ticnlt if not entirely impossible to exagger ate the disagreeable situation of tho last tour years. The grand aggregate of tho multitudinous bad results of a Democratic National Administration may be summed up as one stupendous disaster. It has been a disaster, however, not without at least this one redeeming feature —that it has been fair; nobody has escaped. [Loud laughter. J "It has fallen equally and alike on all sections of the country and on all classes of cur people; the just and the unjust, the Republican and the Democrat, the rich atid t) e poor, the high and the low, hav« suffered ia common. Poverty and dis tress have overtaken bnsiness; 3hrunkon values have dissipated fortune 6 ; deficien cies o! revenue have impoverished the Government, while bond issues and bond syndicates have discredited and scandal ized the country. "Ov«r against that fearful penalty is, ho - * ever, to be set down one great, blcasea compensatory result—it has destroyed the Democratic party." [Cnuers and laughter.] ELORA.

It becomon more iikely every day that the free eilyeriter will have a majority in the Chicago Convention. This will give them the power to make the platform; but when it ooinns to the nomination of candidates, tl.ey will be confronted by the two third* rule," which is one of the cher iahed conditions of their party. Therein lies the only hope of the sound money contingent in case it (ails to secure a majority of the delegates. If it can mus ter over one third ot the strength of the Convention, and enforce the two-thirds rule, it can prevent the nomination of free silver candidates tor President and Vice President, and compel the other side to put go'J standard candidates on its platform, or make no nominations. This conri-e is being urged by some of the Dem ocratic sonnd money organs as an alter native to be preferred >o bolting. But the fact should not be overlooked that the success of such a plan involves the neces sity of sdherance to the two-thirds rule by both sides; and there is no assurance that the free silverites will consent to be beaten in that way when they can abro gate the two thirds rule by their own votes, and niakw nominations according to the majority rule. With tearful eye and sombre visages a handful of men who must have free silver or nothing formally seceded from the Rep ublican party at St. Louis. The virtual secession took place last Winter at Wash ington when a group of five Senators, three of whom seceded, placed an embargo on all revenue and tariff legislation untill free silver coinage should be grantod. That was the parting ways. That action helped to stiffen the backbone of the party and prompt the clear and unequiv ocal declaration for maintaining the exist ing gold standard at which these silver men rebel. Unintentionaly these seceders have done the Kepablican party a service. By their extreme and belligerent attitude on the silver question they discouraged all thought of compromise declaration By leaving the party they disembarrass it of an allegiance that had become incom patible and inharmonious and a hindrance to intelligent expression and decided ac tion.—Press. An alleged error in the tabulation of the Democratic vote on Co. Commissioner has been discovered, which if correct would put Louden 9 votes ahead of Reiber. aiILLERSTOWN.

Is mouldering neath the sod Where oft in childhood's happy day's His feet has lightly trod No more that loving boy is seen, To please his parents eye; Oar dear, young friend so kind and true. Is in eternity. Yes, he is gone, ere life had flnng One cloud upon his way. Gone m his beauty bright and young To dwell in endless day. Would our longing love recall bim Back to this world of care and stnle, From the golden streets of Heaven, To tl e paths of human li^e. No, te thackfol that cur Father Took him to that glorious goal, Ere one grief had dimmed his spirit, | Or one sin had stained his soul. 10, weep not, 0, mourn not. For death is our lot.

The Excitement IS NOW ON! Facts as Big as Facts Can Be Telling the Story of a Coming New and THRIVING ZELIENOPLE. One Hundred Men Now on the Grounds Erecting the Structures that are to Live as the First Monuments of a Great Industrial Center. Healthful, picturesque, conservative, practical Zelienople, with its 1,200 sub stantial citizens, good schools and churches nestled in the lap of nature's blessings ie now on the verge of a bound into an indus trial prominence that will arouse and interest all who are seeking better homes and better prosperity. The new manufacturing industries that have been brought to the new town that is now building on the edge of the old town, and extending some three-fourths of a mile into Jackson township, are being put up with such a will and energy as ereile public enthusiasm. One hundred work men are alredy on the grounds, an<? pre parations are being made for a big lot sale, commencing July 15th when all the evidences will be at hand to show every possible investor the sound, sale opportu nities that exist for judicious, money-grow ing investments. —The Blackham Manufacturing Com pany's works, the principal industry, will give employment to some 300 mochanics of thfc highest skill, as all of their products (finest enameled baths and porcelain spec ialties) are made by secret prooess, requir ing special care in their maunfacture. Their plant will cover some seven acres, while the premises and shops of the Pitts burg tiranite Wool Company, Kavanaugb Machine Works, canning factory «nd coffee and, spice mills will require five acres more. The foundations for the Granite Wool Works are almost completed, and ground will be broken for the other industries as soon as plans ca« be pat in shepe A total of between 500 and 600 operatives will be employed, assuring an increased population which may be conservatively estimated at 3,000. The Zolienople Sxtension Company, the organization that has brought about this great industrial revolution for Zelianople. have offices within a stone's throw of the itcposing two-story depot now being erect ed by the Pittsburg <fc Western railroad. The new depot is some 3,000 feet west of! the old depot, and the old one will be abandoned and the new one occupied as soon as the latter is completed. This will change tho course of travel to up Walnut and Zeigler streets, the latter of which will be the imin or business thtroughfsre Lots were never offered at such low prices and reasonable terms as will rule at this opening sale. Workmen must be secured for the new industries, and e very inducement will be made to get them here in time to start the manufactories as soon as the same are up and ready.
