On motion Of Mr.. Ashcom it was resolved

On motion of J R. Durborrow the following
resolutions we're adopted:
Resotced, That in presenting the name of
the Hon. John Cessna, as the choice of the
Republican party, of Bedford County, for
Governor of Pennsylvania, we offer a eandi-
date in every respect fully qualified for the
important and honorable position. His
neighbors who have long gandintimately known
him, present him to their Republican breth-
ern throughout the State as a genuine patriot,
an experienced statesman andan honest man.
ResotUed, That the nomination of the Hon.
John Cessna would afford the gratifying as
surance that all the elements composing the
patriotic majority Of the people of Pennsyl
vania, have been welded into one homogene-
Gus Il harmonious mass. 1t viii be haiedWith
pleasure by every Democrat who, in the re-
cent terrible conflict rose above party, and
looked only to the flag of his country; by ev-
cry friend of progress, and by every Republi-
can who has at heart the eternal principles of
liberty and equality.
ResoLced, That while we diselaim that mere
locality is to be regarded in the selection of
candidate for Governor, we would respectfully
ask the attention of our Republican fellow
citizens to the fact that this entire section of
the State has never yet, amid all the muta-
tions of party, been honored with Govern
or, and now when we present a candidate ex-
perienced III the legislation of the State,
thoroughly acquainted with its wants, aud
wholly devoted to its interests, we feel assur-
ed that our claims will be generally recogniz-
ed and acknowledged.
ResoIred, That the Hon. John Cessna pos
sesses in an eminent degree all the elements
of availability aud personal popularity, quail
ties not to be overlooked in the selection of a
candidate, and if nominated, we pledge for
him such majority as has never been known
IN Bedford county since the days of 1910.
ReS0Lred. That Mr. Cessna is hereby au-
thorized to appoint his own delegate to the
State Convention, or to appoint Senatorial
and Representative conferees to meet Senate
rial conierees from the counties OF Somerset
and Fulton, if such conference should be de-
sired by him, and the delegates and conferees
SO appointed, shall have the right of substitu-
ton only By consent of Mr. Cessna
On motion the Convention adjoureed sine
die.
JOHN S. STUcKEY, Prest.
