UNION REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
GOVERNOR:
Maj. Gen. JOHN W. GEARY, of Cumb. Go.
"A, MARCH IA, 1866.
BLICAN STATE TICKET,
Our Candidate for Governor. {

Major General JOHN w. GEARY, the
nominee of the. Union Republican party for
Governor of Pennsylvania, is one of the
veteran soldiers of the late war for the pres
ervation of the Union. Gen. Geary had a
sufficiently honorable and glorious record,
to satisfy the aspirations of any man, with
out becoming Governor of this great Com
monwealth; and yet this will fittingly crown
his life of public usefulness and renown,
and fully attest the pride the old Key
stone State feels in her gallant and heroic
sens. Gen. G. commanded Pennsylvania
regiment in the war with Mexico, through
which conflict he served with distinction.
He was appointed Governor of Kansas by
President Buchanan, after number of pre-
decessors, all of whom failed most lamenta-
bly,, and succeeded by his adroit manage
inent in calming the troubled elements and
establishing law and order where all had
been misrule and disorder. He was, in
deed, the first Governor of Kansas who
seemed to be thoroughly master of the sit
uation, and the ability he displayed in that
office made him man of mark in the coun-
try. The breaking out of the rebellion
found Gen Geary in retirement, hut his
love for the Union and his soldierly instincts
prevented him from remaining there He
raised a regiment of volunteers, mainly in
Philadelphia, and these he led in many
campaigns with such distinguished ability
as to make his name once more conspicuous,
SO that he rapidlv advanced tn the command
of brigade, and finally of the famous
White Star division of the West. He COM
menced operations in the Shenandoah Val
ley, but was subsequently sent with his regi
ment to reinforce the western army before
the great conflict by which Grant relieved
Chattanooga. His first battle in the wes
was that of Lookout Mountain. But attel
that his record is that of Sherman army
with which he marched and fought to tn,
close Of the war. When Sherman tool
Savannah he made Gen. Geary Military
Governor of the city; but when the army
marched forward to its brilliant campaign
in the Carolinas, Geary was again with it
With such record he comes before the
people of Pennsylvania, nominated for Gov
ernor by the party that fought for the U.
MON from first to last Though he baG
been lifelong Democrat, the war separat
ed him from his ancient partisan affiliations
and in 1864 he voted for Lincoln and John.
son and since then has steadfastly adhered
TO the principles of the Union Republican
party.

Worthy of Remembrance.

In 1864 the Democracy tried rebel plat
form with Union soldier as candidate for
President. with the hope of cheating the
unwary into their support, but they failed
most ignominiously. Now, the same lead
srs, at Harrisburg, made Union platform
lin its wording) and nominated notorious
sympathiser with the rebels as their candi-
date for Governor, evidently to cheat both
Democrats and Union men, but again they
will be doomed to an ignominious failure.
The people can't be cheated With such stuff.

The Democratic Nominee

The so-called Democratic State Corven-
ton, which assembled at Harrisburg on
March 9Th, nominated Hon. HESTER CLY-
MER, of Berks, for Governor of Pennsylva-
MIA. Mr.. Clymer was originally Wing,
but as the political atmosphere of Berks
county was adverse to his political aspira-
tions, he forsook his party and took refuge
in the Democratic ranks, and since then has
generally advocated the most extreme meas
uresof the political organization whose cause
he espoused. Nine years ago last fall he was
elected TO the State Senate, and has since
been twice re-elected-his term expiring
with the present session He is leading
man in his party, and all through the war
his principles and sympathies were strongly
on the side of the rebels. He was persist
emily and radically against every measure
that promised to put down the rebellion and
preserve the Union. This assertion is not
mere Inference. Mr.. Clymer has been in
public life during the whole course of our
recent war, and he has left record behind
him. revealing facts that cannot be effaced
or explained away. There is no cheat in
his nomination. The events are too fresh
in the memory of every intelligent Pennsyl-
vanian; and the Democratic State Conven-
tion has certainly evinced eommendable
degree of frankness in nominating Mr.. Cly-
mer under such circumstances.

Z Only that and nothing more p

Emigration to the State of Michigan
was so great during the year 1885 and
1886, that every house was filled every
night with travellers wanting lodging.
Every traveller there at that time will
remember the difficulty of obtaining a
bed in the hotels even if lhe had two or
three strange bed-fellows." The Rev.
Hosea Browa, an eccentric Methodist
minister, stopped one night at one of the
hotels in Ann Arber, and inquired if he
could have % room and bed TO himself.
The bar keeper told him he could unless
they should become so full as to render
it neoessars to put another in with him.
At an early hour the revarned gentleman
went to his room, locked the door, re-
tired TO his bed, and soon sunk into a
comfortable sleep. Along toward mid
night he was reused from his slumber by
O loud knocking at his door.
Halloi you there" he exclaimed,
what do you want noac f'--particular
stress on the last word.
You must take another lodger, sir,
in with you," said the voice of the land
lord. aFs9
"What, another YETI"
Why, yes there's only one in here,
isn't there2' ~
1" One why here 10 Mr.. Brown, and
the Methodist prercher, and myself, al
ready, and think that enough for one
bed, even in Michigan"
~ The landlord seemed to think so, too,
and left the trio to their repose.
