Oar Vyhig Governor.

The Greene county paper thus sums up
in brief some reasons for advocating the
reelection of our present excellent Wing
Governor:
We nail to our masthead to-day the
name of William F. Johnston as our
choice for the next Gubernatorial candi-
date. The considerations which actuate
us in so doing we briefly subjoin He is
our first choice for Governor.
Because, He is "honet, capable, and
faithful to tie C0nstitsaiom," thus coming
up fully to the standard required and
sought after in the good old days of our
fathers, in all candidates for Offices.
Because, He has made one of the best
and most efficient Governors that ever
guided the destinies of the State.
Because, He has ever vindicated our
State honor and credit, whether assailed
by particans at home or fanatics a.
broad.
Because, He has ceaselessly since his
elevation to the Gubernatorial chair ex-
hibited paramount desire to rid our
State of an enormous debt, and our citi-
zens from the heavy and oppressive bur-
dens of accumulated taxation.
Because, He has shown an abiding zeal
fer the cause of the people, which no op-
position could dampen, ,>and no combina-
tion of adverse circumstances abridge.
I Because, He has proven himself to pos
sess the most exalted talents and accom-
plishments of the wise Statesman and ei-
william, which have made his name known
throughout the Union, rnd endeared his
fame to every lover of true Republican
policy, and correct Democratic usage.
Because, Fearless in the discharge Of
every duty which he finds prescribed in
! the Constitution or in his oath to support
and advance the common veal, no mean
or mercenary considerations have ever,
or will ever, mislead him in the discharge
of his Executive functions.
Because, Under the workings of meas-
ures advocated and sustained by him, the
State debt has been reduced ha5f mil
li0n of dollars; and if he were continued
as Governor the credit of the State would
be SO plainly and palpably inyigorated,
that no sophistry of Locofocoism would
be found sufficient to 60 back and enlarge
again eur indebtness, and raise again
our taxes to the present exorbitant and
tyranical standard! But on the contra
ry, the peoples money would be appropri
ated in its right channel instead of pay
ing Locofoco eloctioneering expenditures,
and party pets.
Because, He is now the choice of a large
majority of the people of the State for
their Governor.

Our Consul arHRaVaua.

The whole information which we have
to the events in Havana, connected with
the recent Cuban expedition, demonstrate
that Mr.. Owens the American Consul, is
entirely unfit for his post. The evidence
against him is of character to convict
him of heartlessness, if not positive
moral cowardice; while his excuses are
only calculated to increase his ignominy
That representative of our government
and people, should so far forget the claims
OF every American upon him is difficult
to appreciate, but with the facts before us.
and the admission of the party himself,
we can no longer doubt the truth of the
charges. The Administration owes It to
itself to dismss at once from service a
man who has SO signally outra ged human
lty and disgTaced the government whieh
he represents

or "He," Mr.. Bigler, "gave the honor OF
paying the State Debt to those to whom it be-
longs-THE PEOPLE-who are the source
of all money for that purpose, as well as Of
all poWer.
Well how does it happen that the people
never have the poaOer nor the money, except
when they have Wing Governor! Why is
it that less of the State Debt has been con-
tracted, and more paid of, by the people, il
you prefer that term, under Ritner and John
ston, than under any two Democratic Gov
ernors, as the records show!

A Price for Peaches.

Twenty-Five baskets of Morris white
peaches were sold on the steamer John
Nelson, in New York few days ago, at
ten dollars per basket. They were very
large, and were bought by confectionor
who will put them up in brandy, and re-
tail them in the winter at twenty-five
cents each. A number of baskets of the
same kind of peaches were sold at the
rate of two dollars a hundred. The
yield of preserving peaches" is very
small, and the few that come to market
are taken at whatever brioe the owner
pleases to demand.

Ludge WOodwaTd's Opinion Of
EOYeiEnCHs.

1t is said that should Mr.. Bigler be
elected Governor, George ". Woodward
would be his Secretary of the Common
wealth. Mr.. Woodward would willingly
accept it, so as to secure the influence of
the administration and its hidden guide,
James Buchanan, for the post of United
States Senator!
Mr. Woodward is fit man for the L9-
cofocos to elevate to office. In the Re-
form Convention, of which he was a
member, he offered resolution on the
18th of Nov. 1887, directing one of the
Committees to inquire into the propriety
of $50 amending the Constitution as to
preremt arg foreigner leho may arrive an
tbs State after tie Fotgth Of Jnly, 1s4l
from acquiring the r1ght to rote or 10 hold
office in this Commonwealth ! !"
In recent letter dated Wilkesbarre,
9th Sept. 165l--which We find in the
Harrisburg Locofoco papers, Judge Wood
ward alludes to the above resolution. He
re-publishes it, and remarks as follows
"This was in November, 1887. Near
ly four years of notice was proposed to
be given of the contemplated change in
the Constitution-time enough for it to 60
over the world. And who we're to be af-
fected by it! Nobody then in our coup-
try, or who for nearly four years there
after, should come to our country, but
only the subjects of foreign princes, who
should arrive after that period. And as
to these, no exclusion from our land
from Que social relationS-from our field
of enterprise, was proposed. They might
come and make their homes amongst US,
and rear their families, and live in all re-
spects as We do, except only that unless
they arrived before the time specified,
they were not to vote or to hold Office
In this he argues in faUor Of his pro-
position. And this letter was written on
the 9th of last month! And this IS the
man whom Mr.. Bigler, if he had oppor.
tunity, would like to make Secretary OF
the Commonwealth!

Locofocos and Laborers.

Locofocos talk of their sympathy for the la
boring man and mechanic. Their acts show
they are his most bitter enemies. James
Buchanan, their great leader in this State, is
known to be in favor of reducing wages in
this country to the 8. Ten Cent standard of
Europe, and William Bigler's policy and the
policy of the whole Locofoco party lead to
the same end. They are in favor of increas-
ing the value Of money and reducing the rates
of wages, in order that our Iaborers here may
more successfully compete with the pauper
labor Of Europe. I.ocofoco policy has broug I.t

Conflicting Testimony.

Judge Woodward in bis speech at Phila-
delphia on the 23d ult said:
''He did not think Gov. Johnston was an
abolitionist-for he believed him to be man
of too much sense, and loved his county too
well, to adopt such dangerous views"
Locofocos here and elsewhere denounce
Gov. Johnston as full-dyed abolitionist.--
How are we to reconcile these statements OF
Locofoco doctors! They contradict each
other as often as they write or speak on the
same subject

THE FIRST GUN!!
Maryland Election all Rishl!:!
chanic.

Maryland has elected FOUR Wing Mem
bers of Congress out of the Six to which she
is entitled. The names ofthe successful can
didates are as follows
First District-R. !. Bowie, Wing.
Second District-W II. Hamilton, Locofoco.
Third Dstrict-Edward Hammond, Locofoco.
Fourth District-Thomas Y. Walsh. Wing.
Fifth Observation-Disclosures Evans, Wing.
Sixth District-D. NJ. Henry, Whig
This shows Wing GAIN of one Member,
and ensures the vote of Maryland for the
candidate for the next Presidency, should the
Election go into the House Representatives.
The Wings of Maryland have done nobly -
Let US initiate their example.

The Two Compared.

The Investigator parades the expenses of
the Senate in ls45 as mark of Locofoco e.
economy. 1t states the expenses that year a.
mounted to $1l,23O So. The amount Gas
stated in Aud. Gems Rep. 1S45, p. 25) of
the expenses of the Senate in 1645 is 3d.
i79 %. The Investigator lied only $4,000
about as much as the Locofoco officers stole
at the Freeport Aqueduct. Now compare
the Locofoco Senate of lS45 with the Wing
Senate of 1S47:
Expenses in 1e45 Aud. Gems.
Rep, p. 25] were $22, 2,179 90
Expenses in l647 Aud. Gems
Rep, P. 81 were l5,945 95
EXCESS under Locofoco man
agement SG,2247 70
The Locofocos boast of the session of 1916
as being very economical. 1t is the most e.
economical they have on record, but it shows
an expenditure of $6,224 26 MORE THAN the
Wings made in the same body in lS47 -
Remember this -!

Locofocos have called Gov. Johnston =" a
defaulter" and " swinder." They now go
further, and charge him with the Murder at
Christiana Freemen of Pennsylvania -
What think you Of party in this State char
ging the Governor of the State with the hor-
rid crime of Murder! What say you to this,
men who know Gov Johnston to be an hon.
est, straight forward, peaceable and conscien
tious man! What say you to this, Wings OF
Pennsylvania VIII you stand by and hear
our honored Chief Magistrate accused of the
blackest crime Of the decalogue! Honest
men will you vote with party which thus
violates all the proprieties of life, and seeks
to detame the innocent by impu,ing to them
the deepest guilt!

whats The Price of Grain.

When the Tari&of 1916 was enacted,
the Lccofocos promised the farmers good
prices for their grain. Those good prices
have not come, and grain as 0acer at this
moment than IL has Teen gears bejore'-.
The Locoioeos still esk farmers to SIM.
port their men and their measures.

reins of power three years longer, by which
time Pennsylvania will be firmly planted in
the road to prosperity and the redemption of
her embarrassing and DOWN PRESSING
STATE DEBT! Let every Wing do his
duty and Gov Johnston will be reelected by
an overwhelming majority! His enemies
know and admit this. How important then
is il that Wings should arouse and use the
most active exertions to secure the prize
within their grasp! Let no considerations
prevent universal and thorough uprising of
the Wings, all over the State, TO sustain Gov.
Johnston in his efforts to secure 4 full and
complete triumph of the measures advocated
by him, and commenced under his admins
tration-which are calculated to elevate
Pennsylvania to greatness, independence and
FREEDOM FROM DEBT! Let every friend
of protection>to our own industry go to work
to sustain him who SO ably and boldly advo-
Gates that policy. Let the farmers, mechan-
les, manufacturers and laboring men every
where, whose welfare he espouses, whose
best interests he seeks, come boldly to the
rescue against his prosecutors and lbellers,
do their duty and overwhelm their enemies
by the glorious reelection of Gov. Johnston,
their tried, fast and able friend In short,
let every man do his duty, and the result will
be placed beyond a cavil or a doubt. The
reelection of our present able and patriotic
Executive will be heralded over this vast
Republic as an evidence that Pennsylvania is

GREAT INTERESTS OF THE COUN-
TRY, AND TRUE TO THE UNION.
