Not that an echo of the Boston music was
heard in Wiliamstown last Thursday; but the

A SUFFICIENT SUN RAISED FOR THE
SINKING FUND DURING the LAST
EIGHT YEARS TO HAVE PAID OFF
NEARLY TwENTy-EfuuT MILLIONS OF
THE STATE DEBT-wnAr HAS BECOME
OF THE MONEY!
The history Of tho State Debt OF
Pennsylvania, says tho Harrisburg
Patriot, may be told in fcw words.
1t was created principally in building
up and keeping up the public works
These works were eventually sold that
the debt might bc reduced. In 1858,
a Democratic Legislature, in accord
anvc with Section A Of Article XII Of
the State Constitution, enacted a law
providing for the creation Of Sinking
Fund. This Sinking Fund was to be
receptacle of certain revenues which
were to be applied only TO the pay
ment of the interest on State loans
and the extinguishmcnt of the State
Debt.
The receipts at tho Treasury, from
these sources, as per the statements
Of the Auditor Generals Office, from
1861 till 1868, inclusive, foot mp the
enormous sum Of fi0eHty seren millions
nine hundred and sin thousand. tlcC
hundred and ticeaty-SereR dollars
We give the receipts for each year, as

He promises, but "goes back" on his

in the Macon Telegraph, which is, that
after a Northern society agreed to
pay her salary, her board was to be
paid by the parents who sent their
children TO school, but that they failed
10 do so, and that sho would have been
turned out of doors by her landlady

Our Candidate for .fssem,biv.

Our readers are no doubt aware
that tho nominee of our county for
Assembly, Mr.. l4awshe, failed TO re-
ceivc the nomination for that office at
the hands of the District Convention.
This we regret. He was just the man
for tho place. Being a gentleman of
strict integrity, and extensively en-
gagged in business, be would have had
neither time nor inclination to clasp
hands with the corruption ring and
roosters who infest the lobby and
hotels at Harrisburg during the SEES
sion Of the Legislature.
We, however, heartily concur in the
action OF the Tionesta Convention, and
call npon Democrats to give its nomi-
nee, Mr.. Hall, their undivided sup
port; hoping that the people of the
district will find in him all the quail.
ties possessed by Mr. Lawshc, and
that he will prove an upright and
attentive representative. To this end
We shall closely scan tho acts of our
agents ut Harrisburg this winter.
Mr Hall having removed from this
county FIVE years ago, and having
met him but for a few moments on
two occasions since, We can say but
little about him personally. The Elk
Democrat, published at his home, says
at il scarcely necessary for us TO dilaie on the
qualities which bcfit our candidate for legislature,
John @. Hall, for that position, yet for the nior-
nation Of those who are not 90 well acquainted
with hiyf We will give brief outline Of his career.
"Mr. Hall commenced the study OF law in Clear
field under Hon. wm. A. Wallace, in the fall Of
1858, and IN September, 1861, was admitted to
practice. After that, Mr.. Wallace, recognizing
the sterling qualities which had guided his former
students course, took him In as a partner. In
the Office OF Mr.. Wallace, our young lawyer was
distinguished for his close application aud atien-
tion TO the business entrusted to the care Of the
partnership.
'In August Of 1894, Mr.. Hall came among u,
with the most 1atiering testimonials from men ol
known probity aud character. lie located Ia
Ridgway, and our business men, soon recognizing
the talents which he possessed, he was soon in th'
enjoyment Of a lucrative practice. Those wht
know him will not say that we are diverging from
the truth, when we assert that Mr.. Hall Is th,
mosi successful lawyer Of his age in this section o
the State.
