This we regard as our main dependence, and will
give it especial and careful attention and would
say that the better the watch or clock, the easier
and more thoroughly repaired when in the hands of
experienced workman. We have constantly ap.
piled ourselves to this business for more than twenty
years. We ale thankful that while yet scarcely
open our record of watches, which we carefully
keep shows that the shop is in the right place. All
work warranted.
We came here because we have long desired to
live in Smyrna, and in compliance with the wishes

reward for his gallant and meritorious con-
duct in the field, and his intelligent counsel
aud administration of our affairs in the exc
cutive chair, the honor he aks may be cheer
fully accorded to him.
The Republican also endorses the
proposition for an early convention as fol-
lows:
IT is proposed by the Harrisburg State
Guard, and other influential Republican pa
pers, to call Republican State Convention
at an early day for the nomination of can
didate for Governor. We approve the prop
ostion, and hope it will be concurred in by
our party friends generally. The organiza-
ton we have now is good, and an early nom
ination will strengthen and consolidate it.
The claims of candidates. if indeed there
are more than one, for the gubernatorial
chair can be discussed fully in the course of
the coming month.
The Berks and Schuylkill Journal claims
as follows that nearly all the Republican pa
pers in the State are in favor of Gov Gearys
denominations:
The re- nomination of Gov. John w. Gea-
ry for a second term is urged in nearly all
the Republican papers of the State So far
there is no talk of an opponent on the Re-
publican side, nor is it likely that there will
be one-so that Governor Geary' 'Sre-nom-
nation promises to be unanimous This is
right Gen Geary has made an excellent
Governor, and his devotion to the Republi-
can cause has been thoroughly tested. In
the late political campaign he did yeoman' s
service, fighting in the van of the battle aud
leading on the party to glorious victory
He is also the warm personal friend of Gen.
Grant. who would be rejoiced to have his old
friend in the field supporting his administra-
tion. Gov. Geary is, moreover, the strong
est man that could be named. With him as
the candidate next year. success will be GER
tain by a majority of 10000 at least.
The Foulton county Republican, of the
10Th ult., hoist the name of Gov. Geary
for reelection, and endorses his acts as fol-
lows:
We at this time hoist the name of John w.
Geary, for our next Governor of Pennsyl-
vania, subject to the decision of the State
Convention, which will most undoubtedly
nominate him for re election by accamation.
The condition of the State has never been as
prosperous, the laws as Justly executed lie
mercy and as impartialy administered TIM
dignity of gubernatoriaI bonors as fully sus-
tanned as they have under the humane and
patriotic administration Of John w. Geary,
our present Governor.
Governor Geary has a host friends, not
only among his own party, but among the
the Democratic ranks, and his nomination
would insure US as grand victory in 1869
as was given us by the people for Grant in
1868.
