-These gentlemen were mostly select
ed on the first ballot, aud in every case
unanimously coucurred in, with entire
coriiality They will be recognized by the
citizens of Union county as of a superior
order Of candidates compared with some
that We have been favored with from that
section when we were united across the
ridge pole at New Berlin. 1t has indeed
been disparagingly said By Anti-Division-
lists, that Snyder county had not smart
men enough to keep up county organiza-
tion but one thing is very certain, and
that is, they have frst-rate men for otiieers
The Beavers and Chapman have secured
the lions share Washington and Selins-
grove are moderately served Middleburg
like Lewisburg and for similar reasons)
has no candidate and the border town
ships. (Middlecreek, jackson and Union,)
fare even worse in Snyder than they do in
Union, for they have not single oihce
named.
One thing struck US very favorably-the
selection of such men as NER MIDDLEs-
wARTu, FRANCIS 4. BOYER, and HENRY
w. SNYDER for the Office of Auditor. The
importance of that Office is generally much
uuderrated its acceptance by men Of the
reputation, the age, and the qualifications
of those named, is happy omen, and IN
fhis respect Snyder has set good exam
pie to her twir-sister Union.
A Wing Standing Committee for sny-
der county for the year ensuing, was ap-
pointed, to organize by the appointment OF
their own Chairman and Secretary.
The Convention passed resolution,
pledgiug themselves and the candidates to
vote for the candidates this day selected,
without reference to any subsequent noml-
nations or arrangements. A resolution
proposed, requiring the candidate to pledge
themselves against receiving the nomina-
tion Of any other organization, was not
acted upon. The Convention then ad-
journed.
The gentleman who took me from
New Berlin to Middlecrcek, claims more
territory, and as good land, for Snyder as
for Union we think, however, from the
superiority of population, that we have
tie best, and can show better crops, espe-
cially Of corn.
