Harriaburg. Aug. 27.—Republicans
of Pennsylvania have good reason to
congratulate themselves upon the out
come of the state convention helil here
last week, on account of the harmony
iliat prevailed throughout the proceed
iiigs and the aggressive spirit evinced
In the speeches, indicating a deter
mination on the part of the leaders
and the rank and file of the party to
roll up an immense Republican major
ity for each man on the ticket.
The nomination of Justice William
P. Potter, of Allegheny, to succeed
himself on the supreme bench, and
Hoa. Frank G. Harris, of Clearfield,
for state treasurer, which were each
made without a dissenting vote, have
been received with favor. The candi
dates have already been assured of
loyal support, from the Republicans
throughout the commonwealth.
HARMONY EVERYWHERE.
The harmony in the Allegheny
county delegation, which for the first
time in many years acted in absolute
accord on all questions in the state
convention, was a conspicuous feature
of the convention: Senator Flinn and
his followers, who were part of the
insurgent organization in the fight
against the re-election of Colonel M.
S Quay to the United States senate,
alter the convention adjourned an
nounced the Intention to work earn
estly for the success of the party and
its standard bearers in the coming
campaign.
Republicans recognize in the decla
rations of the committee on resolu
tions, which were incorporated in the
platform for the coming campaign, a
purpose on the part of the leaders of
the organization in the state to meet
the Democracy in the open and fight
right from the shoulder from the be
ginning of the campaign.
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.
'Die following is the text of the plat
form adopted by the Republican state
convention, without an opposing vote:
"The Republican party of Pennsyl
vania, in convention assembled, makes
the following declaration of purposes
and principles upon which it invites
the support of the people of our com
monwealth :
"In 189fi, near the close of the last
Democratic administration, the busi
ness interests of file country were
prostrated, capital remained uninvest
ed, and labor was idle and unproduc
tive The election of McKinley re
vived our languishing industries and
started the nation on an era of pros
perity such as it never knew before.
We congratulate the American people
on the good sense shown In the re
election of President McKinley. His
administration lias met every question
with which it has been confronted in
a wise, patriotic and statesmanlike
manner. In all the vexed questions
growing out of the war with Spain
our national administration has shown
itself entirely capable and worthy of
the greatest public confidence. Un
der this administration great armies
and navies were raised, our flag was
carried in honor and triumph to dis
tant parts of the world and our supre
macy on land and sea sustained, until
now we are recognized as one of the
greatest world powers.
EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL.
"We congratulate the people of
Pennsylvania on the splendid pros
perity which they now enjoy. The
farmer, the mechanic, the laborer and
the professional man all either have,
or may have, remunerative employ
ment. We regret that under such
prosperous conditions contests should
arise between capital and labor, but
we hope and believe that these dis
putes will be finally settled on an
equitable basis that will do full jus
tice to the contending parties. The
right of capital to make proper and
legal combinations has been recog
nized by legislative enactments in
many of the states, and this carries
with it the right of labor to organize
in proper and legal ways for its pro
tection and advantage: but neither
capital nor labor has the right to re
sort. to violence or illegal methods to
redress wrongs or obtain rights The
spirit of mediation and concession
should prevail In all disputes between
■apital and labor.
DEMOCRACY ARRAIGNED.
"We arraign the Democratic party
as incompetent, incapable, insincere
and untrustworthy. The citizens of
our state, within a very few days, have
witnessed a spectacle seldom seen in
the history of a political party asking
Hie suffrages ot the people. The Dem
ocratic party, ashamed of its record
in the past, and afraid to name a single
issue of a national character on which
it is willing to appeal for support, asks
the people to forget that in the past,
when entrusted with the administra
tion of public affairs, it has ruined our
business enterprises, shut down our
mills, closed our factories, putin idle
ness our great laboring classes, ruined
the credit of the state and nation and
now appeals to the public on what it
chooses tu call local issues.
of people are Industrious, honest, law-
Abiding and hawy, yet surrounded at
we are on every side with prosperous
business conditions, with people happy,
employed and contented, with every
avenue of business and trade fully
occupied and with the prospect of the
future brightening and growing more
hopeful, the old historic party of ob
struction and negation sets up a hys
terical cry of false pretense, hypocricy
and insincerity, for the purpose of mis
leading the people and regaining lost
power.
"We heartily commend and indorse
the wise and beneficent laws enacted
l»y the late legislature and firmly be
lieve that as the people of the state
investigate and consider the many im
portant acts passed by that body they
will cordially approve of its labors.
"We are deeply sensible of the great
debt which the commonwealth of Penn
sylvania owes its representatives in
the United States senate, Hon. M. S.
Quay n«id Hon. Boise Penrose, for the
watchful care which they have ever
given to the interests of the state, its
material enterprises and the welfare of
its citizens."
