Villi I'llKKIIinKT, WILLIAM M'KIKI.VY, ()( Ohio, rou vice riuiin;.NT, (lAltltirr A. IIOIlAltT, Of New Jersey. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. koii uosnnr.MMAjr.AT-l.AUOE, (lAI.UHIIA A. OltOW, Of Husqucliniinn. SAMUEL A. DAVKNPOIIT, Of i:rlo THE OOLD STANDARD. Tho fact can not bo too often reponted that the declaration of theltepubllcana yebtcriluy in favor of the gold standard simply meamtlie maintenance of a thing that already exUls. It is tho free silver people who propose lo make n change and establish a new standard They lire against theprosentcunency system. and anxious to substitute for It one under which a dill'i iont kind of money would I used for the payment of debts and wagos and the transaction of the country's business. The licpublicans believe in keeping things is they are in that respect. That is to say 'hey bold that we now hnve sound and satis factory money, and that it would be fnolisli and disastrous to throw away tills advantage It is not proposed lo eliminate silver from the urrency und prevent its use for commercial purposes, but o rly tti so limit tho amount i that it can circulate freely at par with old. Vny intelligent voter cm readily coinprc ' ml tho distinction mid tho leasou for mak uig it. Wo have absorbed as much silver we call carry with safety, and the licpiibli ins are opposed to an incieaso of it tha would inevitably uiisettlo values, depieciato i ue currency, and foico us to an inferlo -t unlaid. It is not true, as tho frco silver orators pr.ieticsilly assert, that the liepiiblicHii puny is seeking to mako gold tho only f inn ol money in the country. On the con.' xrjiy, it merely insists that other forms of lumirj shall bo kept us good as gold. Tlieio .mold be no objection to that from any man tio li.n tho prosperity and wclfaioof the .oo'ry at henit. riii re can not bo two standards of valuo at i ii -amu time, and the licpublicans contend i ,n the one which now exikts, and which is I. n.nvn to be safe, should not be exchanged one that would be unsafe and in every vv.iy mischievous. Tho silver element now in the currency is freely accepted because it is on a parity with gold, and the Kcptiblkai wish lo continue it in service on that basis but they aie against tho free and unlimited c.uiuvi- of it because that would dohtroy th purity and Hood tho country Willi a deprv lated circulation. It is not a question of dis ensing with the of -ilver, but of adapting the volume of ll to t lie conditions which govern its value. The limit of safety in tho coinage of sticli laoney lias been reached, and tho Republican party says that we should have no ruoio of it when the reoiilt would tortaiuly bo u stupeud 'tin inisfortuno. That is what is meant, and all that I meant, by the maintenance of tho gold -luiidurd as adopted at yesterday's conveii' Hun THE RESULT. Toe Republicans uf Schuylkill county, i convention assembled, hnvo again named ttieir standard-boaters and declared thu party's position on tho Issuusof tho campaign The nlatform is a model olio. It is brief and concise, and echoes in no linccitniii tones th wutiment of tho Republican masses favorable i the St. Louis platform. Sound money und protection will bo the lmttle cry of the I liublicun hosts for the prooent campaign. On r.iul;s will bo reinforced by hundreds Democrats who repudiate the Chicago plat Kirm us direct dcpaitmo from the beaten path of tho Democratic party. American iutorosts may safely bo entruste tun nurtv that supports and declares 1 favor of protection for home industiie ai mud money. While there uie a fe Republicans in the county tuinted with the free coinage of silver idea wlui naturally think the declaration for tho gold standaid unwise and Impolitic, yet tho universal sentiment is the other way. It was truly u sound money convention, and any other declaration would have been other than Jho jxpremiou of the delegates and their . , :istiUieiiey. The result of thu Congressional fight, and the one in which tho people of Shenandoah who more interested than nny other, can be accepted by the friends of Mr. Horace H. i)i ngler Willi perfect satisfaction and com iiiisiire. They made a clean and fair fight, .itthoiiuli success did not crown their ed'orUusn rowurd for tho loyal support of thoso who stood by him against as great odds in the form of a combination us ever con fiouted a candidate in this county.
