Gf 1912 Even now their State Ticket is led
by Hon. JoHN NJ. READ, who, on the 29ih day
OF July, 1916, addressed letter 10 Vice presi-

in fact, they boasted that We had nct mem
berS enough in that body for So srd-and wba,
did they DO with the Tariff question: Pause
md conS,de,! Did they Increase the duties! No.
inderd instead Of increasing, they reduced them,
as the record proves, and they are responsible
for the very Tariff OF which they now so bit
terry complain. Tae Tariff Of 1916 imposed
duty oi 80 per cent. upon iron. The Black Re-
publican aud Know Nothing Farid Of 1857 sr-
duced The duty on that article from 30 to u
per cent. fact also proved by the record. Such
duplicity aud low trickery as our opponents
have exhibited this subject, should and
will, dl'guSt every man who has judgment g.
nough 10 think for himself. The people hav..

The nominations for candidates for Congress,
throughou: the State, nearly all made In
the first District, Hon. THos. B. FLoRENcE, has
been re-nominated. This is compliment well
deserved. No member has ever served his con-
stituents with moro unirIng energy and indus
try. | have been astonished 10 witness fhe ex-
traordinary perseverance of Col. f. in every
thing Prria ming 10 bis duties as Representa-
tive. He is truly a man of the People. and
will, without donbt, be triumPhantly re-elect-
ed. Should, however, the ioiIiag masses in his
District lose his services in Congress, their loss
will be rreparable He is recognized here, by
every body, as the 'poor mans tyicad," and
honestly believe, il be had but dollar in thu
world, hr would give it to the first object Of
charity that presented itself. He labors dav
and night when rendered necessary, and when
he is called upon 10 perform a public duty
touching bis own, or any other District, if hon
orabIe rxrrtion will accomplish the end he nea-
er taIs 1t is matter Of surprise that any
tc0rkiag nan can cast his vote against FLOR

readily minister to the wants OF political foes
as though they were his friends All classes
here feel interested IN his success.
In the I'd District, Mr. MARTIN, a we'll
known Merchant and active Democrat, has
been LACED in nomination, and II is sincerely :
hoped thai he vi be elected, for, from my own
knowledge of the MAJ, | take It he would
make very valuable representative Tor PhiI'a. T.
Mr. LANnY from the Sd, Ma. PpLLIrs from {
the 4th, and Mr.. OWEN JONES from the 9Th 5
District, have all been re-nomnated. All
three Of these gentlemen are men of ability ,
and sterling worth. Mr.. PnlLLtPs is certainly
one OF The most ready aud able dtbalers IN thr
National House of Representatives, and reflect
ed great credit upon his District last winter.

if this be true, the election of Mr. Hopkins is a

Mr.. DEwART, of the l1th District, has been
re- nominated, and, although some dissatisfaction
seems TO exist in his District, it is believed he
will be elected. D-wart is noble, generous
man, and is entitled to the cordial support of 1
his party.
Mr. LElDr, of the 18th, believe has moi yet !, ,
succeeded in a denomination. He stood up
hrmly in Congress, as party man, and should a
by all means, be returned. don't know what \
may be the usage of the Democracy of that I
