With Other Incidentals, The Republican Convention mot at St. Louie on June 16th. The National Committee had been in session for several days, and had prac tically disposed ot all contested seat cases is advance. The McKinley dele gate being largely in the majority, con trolled the organisation. The moat sensational episode in the con rnn on was the retirement of Sen ator Teller aad other delegates from ail rer States, from the Republican party, on account of the adoption of a gold platform.

Thus McKinlev and Hobart were made the Republican standard-bearers, and the issue is set forth in the following PLATFORM: renewal and extension upon soon terms as will equalise our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of American pro ducts in the ports of other countries, and secure enlarged markets for the pro ducts of our farms, forests and factories.-" vl". Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand in hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both and both jnust. .be. . re-established. Protection for what we produce; free admis sion for the necessaries of life which we do not produce; reciprocal agree ments of mutual interest which gain open markets in return for our open markets to others. Protection buids up domestic ' industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign' trade and finds as outlet for our surplus. ; ' - - SUGAR.

It has been a record of unpar alleled incapacity, dishonor and disaster. In administrative management it has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable reve nue, entailed an increasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenses with bor rowed money, piled up the public debt by $368,000,000 in time of peace, forced an adverse balance of trade, kept a per petual menace hanging over the redemp- fctal withdrawal f the luapfck. fir sts' tress this henrfcaaara and ; t 1se attmata anion of all Estftoh-speakiag parts ot the continent By tne tree cos .sent of its inhabitants. : ' CUBA. ' From the hour of achieving their own independence, the people of the United States have regarded wish sympathy the straggles 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 cruelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the. loll success of their determined contest for liberty. The Government of Spain hav ing lost control of Cuba, and being un able to protect the property or lives ot resident American citicens or to comply with its treaty obligations, we believe the Government of the United States should actively use its influences and good, offices to restore peace and give in dependence to the island. THE NAVY. The peace aad security of the repub lic and the maintenance of its rightful influence among the nations of the earth demand a naval power eemsnensarate with its position and respossmxty. We therefor favor the continue on largement of the navy and a ootnplot system of harbor and sea coast der-ases, FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. For the protection . of .the quality of our American citiaehship and the wages of our workingmen against th fatal competition of low-priced labor, we de mand that the immigration laws be thoroughly enforced and so extended as to exclude from entrance to the United States those who can neither read nor write.

W renew and emphasize our alle giance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of an American industrial in- deoence and the foundation of Ameri can development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home industry, and it puts the burden of revenue on foreign goods; it secures the American market for the American producer! it upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingman; it puts tbe factory by the side of the farm, and make tbe American farmer less depend ent on foreign demand and price; it diffuses general thrift, and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. -V CIVIL SERVICE. The civil service law was placed on the statute books by the Republican party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practi cable. free' BALLOT. We demand that every citizen of the United States . shall be allowed to cast one. free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot be counted and returned as cast LYNCH INGS. We proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the uncivilized and barbarous practice, well known as lynching, or killing of human beings suspected or charged with crime, without process of law. NATIONAL ARBITRATION. We favor the creation of a National Board of Arbitration to settle and ad just differences which may arise be tween employers and employed engaged in interstate commerce. v' HOMESTEADS. We believe in an immediate return to the tree homestead policy of tbe Repub lican party, and urge the paesag by Cbagreos of the satisfactory free home stead measure which has already passed the House and is now pending in the Senate. TERRITORIES. We favor the admission of the re maining Territories at the earliest prac ticable date, having due regards to the interest of tbe Territories and the United States. All the Federal officers ap pointed for the Territories should, be selected from bona fide residents thereof. aad the right of self-government should be accorded as far a practicable. We bobe-re1 the citUeus 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 sympathise with all wise and legitimate efforts to lesson and prevent th evils of lutemperance aad promote morality. ..'.:.'-;--;- 1 . RIGHTS OF WOMEN.

He has not ueen the place since lust fall, when he spent a day there in company with Senator Cameron. Since then it has been Improved under the direction of Deputy Auditor General Friday by the addition of a magnificent new barn, fences u'.d outbuildings. The purpose of Col. .Qu-iy's proposed visit is to ar range for Ihe remodeling of the house and other improvements. , This is one of the finest farms in Lan caster county. It consists of 135 acres and lies along the line of the Lancaster & Columbia Electric railway, midway between Columbia and Mouhtville.' .' It is bounded on the south by the Penn sylvania railroad, which has 'built a small station near by, known as Glen Manor. The land was taken up in 1741 by Christ innGarber. It remained in that family continuously until last October, when it was bought for Senator Quay by Mr. Friday.' Shortly before, the sale the large stone barn was destroyed by fire.- The .new 'barn is the finest and most convenient in Pemrtylvana.r 'It has a frontage of 90 feet end a depth of 03 feet.

The Republican party is unreservedly for sound money. It canoed the enact ment of the law providing for tbe re sumption of sped payment in 1879; sine then every dollar has been as good as cold: we ar unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair tne credit or our country. We are, therefore, opposed to the fro coinage of surer except by in ternational agreement with the leading eonimeruial nations of the world, which w "sledge .'ouWerveS to pro mote, and sntil such agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must be pre served.

PENSIONS. The veterans of the Union armies do- serve and should receive fair treatment and canorous recognition., Whenever practicable they should bo given the preference in the matter of employ from the rolls as deserving the severest condemnation of tbe American people. FOREIGN RELATIONS. Our foroijrn policy shonld be at all times firm, vigorous and dignified, and all our interests in the Western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian islands should be con trolled by tbe United States, and no foreign power should be permitted to interfere with them. The Nicaragua canal should be built, owned and oper- 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 tho history of our. great party and in the justice of our cause, w present our platform and our candidates, in the full assurance that the election will bring victory to the Regublioan party and prosperity to the people of the United States. mv.

We demand such an equitable 'tariff on foreign imports which come into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary .expenses of the Government, but will protect Amer ARMEMIAN MASSACRES. The massacres in Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and just in dignation of the American people, and we believe the united States should exert all the influence it can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end.

The question of rates is a practical ques tion, to be governed by the conditions of the time and of production; the rul ing and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and industry. The country demands a right settlement, and then it wants a rest RECIPROCITY. : We believe the repeal of the reciproc ity arrangements negotiated by the last Republican administration was a na tional calamity, and we demand their American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost. MONROE DOCTRINE.

Wintbrop says that in 1643 "men fell to the manu facture of cotton, whereof we have great stores from Barbadoes." In 1736 it was cultivated in the. gardens along Chesr peake bay, especially in tbe vicin ity of Baltimore, and at the opening of the revolution it was a garden plant in New Jersey and New York, but its real value seems to have been almost unknown to the planters up to about 110 vars -t oupeior job printing Mail office.
