(• jg n-^rBltg Is l'omlfnson bad. More
than nenol Interest was manifested In the
outcome of the day's work by reason o' the
bitter feeling that has been engendered bo
tween <be frlerds of Governor G'ay and
ex Senator McDonald, and which en m -
sa'eiJ on Wednesday in an address from
the latter to bis friends throughout the
Ftato. In it the ex-Benator says some very
nncomplimentary things aboat the gov r-
tor. Many democrats who have not taken
tides in the matter regret McDonald's
course. Another incident that added to
tbe interest was the fact that Job a E. Saiii-
vac. one of the man indiotod for participa-
tion <n the late tally sheet forgeries, was a
candidate for the St. Ltrais oonventtia
from the Seventh district. Hts candidacy,
however, wss against the wlsles of tiio
better element of the party aal
compelled his withdrawal, bnt not
oatil he saw no hops ot
success. The convention was called to
order at 10 o'clock by E, P. KlcaartUon.
The comailttee on permanent organization
reported recommending Charles T. Jewitt

be necessary and propar.
7 U is the duty of the government to re
posses itself ot all public lands heretofore
granted fur the benefit ot corporations
which have been forfeited by non compll
auce with the conditions of grant, aad
should hold the same for the use and ben-
efit of the people. Laws should be passed
to prevent ownership of large tract3 of land
by corporations or by persona not cltlzans
ot the- United States, or who have not de-
clared their intention to become such,as pro-
vided bylaw. Congress should discouraga
the pnrchaEffof public land in large bodies
by eny parties for speculative purposes,
but should preserve same as far as possible
for actual settlers, and to that end all sub-
sidies oi' land as well as money to corpora-
tions aud speculators should cease forever.
S It is provided by the constitution of the
stale that the liberty oi tba people should
bo protected, and that their private prop-
erty should not be taken without just com-
pensation, And wo are opposed to anv
change in the constitution tending to weak-
en these safeguards, or to any legislation
wMcib asserts the power to take or destroy
the private property of any portion of the
people of this state without compsnsation,
or which upjiistiy interferes with their per-
sona! liberty as to what they shall eat or

should oe auminlbtered in that w*y oe3t
calculated to confer the gr3atast good upon

pereonal liberty, and in conflict with pub
lie sentimcn', would naver be effectively ex-
ecuted, thna tainting the law into disrepute
&:.d lentUag to make sneaks and hypocrites
of our people.
9. We unqualifiedly condema tha aotlm
of the rcpuollcan party iu the Hst general

All the successful candidates returned

defeated ones promised tnpport for their
more lucky competitor?. The proceedings
throughotu wera tnarxed by unofluil har

was no outcropping or any bitterness that
has displayed itself in Hie past tan days
betwwn the Gray aud McDonald faasuas.

There never has i eeu euch a clamor for

to look upon this as (he most lmpo tant

OTHER POLITICAL HATTERS,
pbkn^yi,va!via platform.
H ARKiSBiiBO, Pa., A j rll 26 —l'ne platform
adopted by the republican convention h 111
substance, as follows:
Weasiert the simple proposition that a free
righi to vote Eccorditig to law and to have
the vote counted in the fotiudatioaof Amari-
crb repreeentatlve goverament la congress
and in the electoral college apportloaan oa
a basis of population, aud a larga portion
of that population in certain sections is
now excluded from the exsreise of suffrage.
A narrow majority of house repraseaca
tives Is ihtis maintained which threatens
io enact radical leglulation hostile to the
intereots of onr country. Sach a govern-
ment is no li'ig&r tree, but tyrannical.
W ith due consideration for difficulties of
such kind, we demand of congress that it
enact such legislation as> shall insure elec-
tions for members of congress and the
electoral college,
2. We declare the object of the American
system of tariff legislation, besides seen'
lag revenne, is the protection of Acneric »u
industry. The last message of Prealdanu
Cltvoiand is an open assault upon oar ia
duties, which will, if not repealed, result
111 free tiade, which iu the near future will
paralyse and destroy the Industries, rodace
compmsation of labor and impoverish tho
nation.
3 The democratic administration is re-
sponsible for allowing the acc imulabion of
the larfe surplus In the United Status treas-
ury. Excessive revenue can aud should he
prevented by reducing or repaal of intar-
2j HI
4. We protest agaifist the attempt of tus
dunocratic party iri congress to striata
down the woo) crowing fudastry by placing
its product on ihe free list, as provided in
the AUlls bill,
5 It is the, duty of congress to pass, and
ot th e president to approve a wise, jast aad
comprehensive pension till, giving rail>t
to disabled veteran soldiers and aselstiuce
to the helpless widows and orphans of
deceased soldiers without regard to time
when the disability was incurred or caa<sa
of death.
6. The people of Pennsylvania nnciualifi
edly condemn the refusal ox the democratic
isa'jority of the houso of representatives
to permit the passage of thw direct tax
relutdipg Clll passed by tha repuallcan
senate.
Tie most rem at V a hie feature la conn so
tiou wilh tbe convention was the fact of »
complete avoidance of the presldentiii
Question, either fey intimation or dlrec;
declaration. Tbe four delegates at Urge
art, ai> dumb upon tbe question of presl lau-
nai preference as was theeonveatioa.

, description
The lire-resietiirg walls are filled with tho
best known non-conducting concrete, tho secret
of its fire-resisting qualities being tho chemi-
cal change that takes place upon its being
heated to a certain temperature, which gene-
rates a vapor tbat fills all the pores in the con-
crete, thereby forming a cool, moiat wall en-
tirely around the contents during itssjibjoction
to the heat. Tho outside iron box is formed of
one continuous plate, bent round at tli© corners^
forming top, sides and bottom. This box is
securely attached to heavy front and bock
crescent angle frames, forming iu outline an all*
round cornorcd safe. The doors are stepped
or flanged in the usual manner, and secured by front and back bolts, lias noij-pickable combination lock,
which does entirely away with the old style clumsy handle for throwing the bolts; the dial, in combina-
tion with the tumblers, operates the bolt work. The lock is a three-tumbler lock, and set to three num -
bers, and by operating the
dial lenob in a certain way
in connection with the three
numbers the safe can bo
opened. Full instructions
are sent with each 'safe,
enabling every purchaser of
a safe to set his lock to num-
bers of his own solection, ho
that none will know tho
combination except he him-
self. The inside arrange-
ment is one upright shelf
in centre of safe, a sub-
treasury in upper left hand
corner, all nicely painted,
and bottom of safe carpeted.
