Is there in this Stale single individual who
is not convinced that it is his duty, good
CITIZEN 10 do all In his power 10 secure the sue
cess OF Wing principles? If So We would ask
him to examine carefully and candldIy the
measures advocated by The two parties. The
Wings not only IN favor of a Protective
Tariff, but opposed 10 he repeal of the Tariff
OF 1912. Is there farmer mechanic, manu-
facurer or aborer who has not experienced
the blessings of ,ha, policy? We think not

opposed 70 protection, aud have pledged them

of AZ. The Wings are in favor Of distributing
The proceeds OF The sales of The Public Lands
among all The States. This policy. If carried
out, would speedily relieve us from our embar-
rassments. The loces are opposed To his great
measure, and every Penasy lranian, knows that

power here 10 cypress instead of relieve the
people We mghl fill our paper with contrasts
Of this kind, bul we consider II unnecessary a,
this time, for all intelligent readers who have
taken The pains 10 inform themselves and all
close observers of the movements OF The two
parties have been compelled TO admit that the
principles of The Wings are Conservative in
their tendency, and that those of the ocos are
noloriously Destructive. In view of these in
con,roverllble truths, it cannot be denied that it
is the bounden duty of every voter who desires
10 promote the prosperity OF bis Stale and coun-
Try, and The welfare and happiness of posteriiy,
10 support The Wing candidates Tor President
and Vice President Of The United States.
As Pennsylvanians too. it is imporEan, that
we should secure the establishment Of Wing
principles. II is unnecessary al this time 10
speak of The disgrace which the maladmnis
lration of our State Government has brought
upon this Commonwealth. We need no refer
10 the dishonesty and corruption by which our
public officers have been characterized, nor 10
their total disregard of the wishes and interests
of the people These things have been so Of
ten spoken of through The papers and otherwise,
and the workingmen have been so long oppres-
sed that il would be but waste OF time TO
again aIlude 10 them
What, then, is the duty of The voters of Penn
sylrania? Il is TO support for Governor, the
| gallant Gen JOSEPH MARKLE-the man,
| who when he saw his country bleeding, and his
| fclIow-cilize in danger Of being rrodden be-
meath the iron heel OF the oppressor, sacrificed
his properly TO support our soldiers, and at the
| head of gallant band of Pennsylvania voIun-
/ ieers marched 10 The field of battle. He dId

poriancs than the prosperity of his native land
and The hardships and fatigue of campaign in

again retired to his farm, 10 labor for the sup
port Of his family There he has remained
since the close of The war of 1912, and there
did the Wing party find him. He is one of The
people-honest, capable and brave The prln-
cples Of Henry Clay and the Wing party are
his principles; and citizen and as man
his integrity cannot be impeached. What
difference there is between the high-mnded
and honorable motives by which he has ever
been aciuaed and The selfshness and Intrigue

candidate
Gen. Markle is popular with the peope--and
teservedly So In him they can place conf

be governed by the maxim that honesty is the
best policy"
We are daily receiving papers published in
lOwis IN the interior of this State, IN which we
observe accounts of mass meetings held IN dbl

candidate for Governor calls forth the enihusl-
