THE PLATFORM AS AMEN DBD
L Eulogy of Blaine Instead of the
Clause Indorsing Him for President
and a Federal Elections Bill Plank
for the Fireman’s ReliefClause.
HARRISBURG, Aug. 21.—When, after re-
cess, the Republican state convention re- .
assembled, and the committee on resolu-
tions had reported, it was found that two
important changes had been made in the
platform as originally prepared. The first
change was the substitution for the clause
which indorsed‘ James. G. Blaine for the
presidency in 1892 of the following modi-
fied plank: " v
It has been with especial gratification that the
Republicans of this commonwealth have ob
served the brilliant administration of the state
department by one of Pennsylvania‘s native
sons, whose superb diplomacy has electrified
the hearts of all Americans, exacted from .for-
sign peoples a degree of respect and admiration
for the United States flag hitherto unequaled,
and opened wide to us in other lands commer-
cial gates heretofore barred. These magnifi-
cent achievements justify confidence and fur-
nish new occasion forus now;to reaffirm the
loyalty and devotion of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania to her most distinguished son,
the Hon. James G. Blaine.
Delegate Culberson was not satisfied
with this substitution, and he moved that
the clause be changed to conform to the
original one indorsing Blaine for presi-
dent, and made _
a n e n e r g et ic
speech in defense
of his position.
Other delegates,
however, argued
that the proposi-
tion to name
Blaine as the pres-
idential candidate
was untimely, and
a vote was de-
m a n d e d. T h e
question on the
adoption of the
amendment was
put, and amid .
confusion. and cheering declared car-Tried,
but the decision was reconsidered upon
protests from various parts of the house.
Just as a demand for the yeas and nays
was about to be complied with, Mr. Cul-
berson' withdrew his amendment and the
substituted clause eulogizing Blaine but
not naming him as the choice of the con-
vention for president was adopted.
' . Therederal Election‘s Bill.
Theéother change was..the' substitution
for the lastEplank of the platform which
favored legiSleLtiOn to secure the firemen
of the state relief from any disability
causedinthe performance (if their duties,
and their families" in case "of; their death
through like cause, of theffollowing clause
in favor of a federal elections bill: '
GENERAL D. M’GREGG.
That we reamnn the unswerving devotion of
Pennsylvania Republicans to the supreme and
sovereign fright of every lawful citizen, rich or
poor, native or foreign born, black or white.
to cast one free ballot in public elections and-
tohave that'ballot‘duly counted; and we de- _
mand effective ‘ legislation, within constitution-
al limits, to secure the integrity and purity of
federal elections throughout the Union.
The platform as amended was then
adopted by the convention. The conven-
-- tion passed three
resolutions in ad-
dition to those em—
braced in the plat-
form. The first
provides that
hereafter repre-
sentation in state
conventions shall
be based upon the
Republican vote
. cast for president.
‘ ‘ This change was

some years ago by

J. w. MORRISON. pointed means“-
or the subject. It is now made a rule of
the party, and the convention next year
will be made up in that way. The other
resolution is a recommendatiOn for the
abolition of the conferee system in con-
gressional and senatorial districts. The
state convention cannot lay down rules for
the districts, but it has in this resolution
declared a policy which will, it believes, be
to the party advantage.
Another resolution was then offered re
jecting the rule adopted by the last con-
vention as to the election of state chair-
man, and providing that the state chain
man be chosen by the candidates and the
permanent chairman. This was unani-
mously adopted. , ,
Gregg for Auditor General.
Nominations for auditor general were
then declared in-order. Mr. Baer,‘of Berks,
' {in a few words, named General D. McM.
He said his record as 8
times, and assured the convention that ii
chosen by the convention General Gregg
would lead the Republican party to vie
_ ‘tory. The nomination wasvseconMTS.”

Gregg asa traitor to his party for havin;

upon General Gregg’s political career.
Eben, Bretver, of Erie, named Giles D
Price, of Erie. Mr. Brewer laid particulai
stress upon the factthat Mr. Price was is
. " candidate for no other office, and would
not accept any other office than auditOi
general. J. Frank Small, of York, sec
ended the nomination. The nomination:
then closed, and the vote was taken, re
sulting in. the choice of General Gregg
the vote being: Gregg, 106; M lin, 60
Price, 87.-. Necessary for a choice, 03.
On motion of Mr. Davies,seconded by
Mr. Brewer, the nbmination of Genera
Gregg was made’unanimous. ‘ ‘
The naming of Candidates for the stair
treasurership nomination was next begun.
Morrison for Treasurer. '
A. C. Robertson, of Allegheny, .namec
Captain John W. Morrison, of Allegheny
dwelling largely .upon his candidate’s mlli
ital-y record. He urged the convention ti
select Mr. Morrison because of his pecul
iar fitness for the performance of the do
ties of the unmitinn
a committee ap- .
three'o'f the fill? delegates-from” of the situation in Germany.
{ ."1B3rksrconnty,'he seconded the nomination
Henry Hall, of Mercer, seconded the
nomination.
Hon. F. W. Hays, of Venango, named
CalebC. Thompson, of Warren, speaker of
the last house of representatives. “We
have,” he said, “named as the head of our
ticket a brilliant soldier. Let us give him
as a running mate one of the young Re
publicans of Pennsylvania, who has, by
his ability, forced himself to the front rank
of Republicanism in this state. He is a
man who will antagonize no faction and
upon whom all can unite.”
W. W. Wilbur, of Warren, seconded the
nomination.
Mr. Culbertson, of Mifliin, announced
that Hon. Giles D. Price, of Erie, would
accept the nomination for state treasurer,
and he therefore ‘placed his name before
the convention and hoped he would be the
choice of the convention.
The nominations closed and the vote
was taken, resulting: Morrison, 167;
Thompson, 34: Price, 2. At the close of
the roll call Mr. Hays, on behalf of Mr.
Thompson, moved that the nomination of
Mr. Morrison be made unanimous. Agreed
Watres State Committee Chairman.
The convention then adjourned sine die.
After adjournment the two candidates
and John P. Elkins, of Indiana county,
the permanent chairman of the conven-
tion, had a conference and decided to re-
quest Lieutenant Governor Watres to act _
as chairman of the state committee. He
was seen and accepted the post. Frank
Willing Leach Was at once reappointed to
the position of secretary. It is understood
that the new chairman will call the com-
mittee together very soon for organiza-
tion,‘and that then the matter of selecting
a successor to Senator Quay on the nation-
al committee will be considered.
HARRISON AT MT. M’GBEGOR.
The President Is the Guest of Senator
Arkell and Wife.
MT. McGREGOR, N. Y., Aug. 21.—-It was
with dificulty that the president’s can.
riage passed through the streets Of Sara-
toga, for though every effort had been
made to keep the time of his arrival a
. secret, both streets and sidewalks were
thronged with people. They cheered the
president all along the route.
There was another crush at the station
of the Mount McGregor road, but a pas-
sage was cleared through the crowd very
quickly, and the president and his party
were taken first to the waiting room of
the station, where Mrs. Senator Arkell
was waiting to join the party, and then to
the special train of two cars and an engine,
which stood on the little narrow gauge
track. The trip up the mountain was
without incident.
The station at Mt. McGi-egor was
decorated and all the guests of the hotel
were gathered about it. They cheered
loudly as the president left the train, shook
hands with Senator Arkell‘, and then of-
fering Mrs. Arkell his arm started up the
hill toward the Grant cottage. He
mounted the veranda of this cottage
to give every one a good chance to see
him, and after the crowd had given three
hearty cheers he went on to the cottage oi
Mr. Arkell, which is just behind the hotel.
The other members of the party Went to
the hotel, where they had rooms a'ssigned
to them, and where most of them sou
an opportunity to rest. The president re-
mained in the seclusion of Mr. Arkell’s
cottage, where only a few intimate friends
of the Arkell family were presented to him. -
Penniless Immigrants Detained.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 21.—The Hamburg-
Americpn Packet steamship Slavonia,
Captain Schmidt, arrived from Hamburg
She had 132 steer-age passengers. Of this
number fifty were detained by the custom:
officers. They are all =Russian Jews,
whose passage wm either in whole _or in
part paid out of the Baron Hirsch fund.
These exiles are entirely penniless. It
seems that they wgre landed at. South-
ampton when fin-cad to abandon their
homes in Russia and to emigrate, and
were immediately shipped to this country
without any provision whatever being
made to prevent them becoming. a. charge
upon American communities. Their cases
have been referred to Washington.

QUEBEC, Aug. 21.-—A Quebec member oi
. parliament, who has just returned from
Ottawa, reports that Sir John Thompson
has expressed to a number of political
friends his intention as minister of jus-
tice toindict, in the name of the queen.
for public robbery and conspiracy, the
whole of the members of the McGreevy
boodle gang and the public officials they
bribed, providing he is msured by the
local authorities that there is a reasonable
prospect of finding here a jury above the
influence of the boodlers. It is considered
that this prosecution will save the gov-
ernment, and that thus the threatened -po
litical crisis at Ottawa will be averted.
Wonderful Skin Grafting Case.

flesh having been taken from human arms
and grafted to the body of William Shaw,
who was scalded at the Standard oil re’
