The post. [volume] (Middleburg, Snyder County, Pa.) 1864-1883, 1870-09-01
Our Representative Nominee,
Harding, Hill, (lingan.

IL Is not necessary for US to COM
mcnt upon the manner in which our
ticket was formed, but suffice it to say
that the above named gentlemen have
b zen declared our standard bearers by
the popular will We desire to lay
bciocc tie voters OF this district fiirly
aud candijly their claims to the support
OF the people.
Do they possess tho requisites OF
honesty, integrity, or capacity Z Have
they rendered such services to the
State or country as to cntitlo them to
the confidence Or support Of the people
Are they men Of private worth and
moral character wh1 command the
esteem aud regard of their fellows
Are they favorable to au economical
administration Of affairs? We claim
that all Of tho candidates come up TO
these requirements. Perfect unity ex.
ist, throughout the district and is not
even moved by personal dis0ppoint.
mcns and we believe the mass ol
the people are leaiy to give their sap
port for the election OF honest aud
competent men.
Our can1idatcs arc not moneycd
nabobs who revrl in wealth and luxury
ut the expense of the taxpayers, bat
arc men from the ranks OF the masses
whose interests are identical hence
we assert that they are heartily and
dsinterestcdly devoted to Republican
principles and Me G.st interests Of III,
p,opie.
That they arc honest and capable it
settled. beyond u question Of doubt, by
tho fact that an honest and Intelligent
people have selected them us thoil
representatives in the Halls Of til,
Legislature of Pennsylvania. Theil
integrity is proof against corruption
and iniqui'ous schcming, aud selling
OF legislation aud special privileges tC
the highest bidder. This, especially
is unquestionably true as to Hon. Theo
dorc Hill Of l.ycoming, who represou
ted us last winter, to which mcmber'
of both parties bear testimony aud
accrsdit him with sound integrity, un.
doubted capacity and unswerving tiiel-
ity to his political doctrines.
The war with Mexico Offered thC
first fit opportunity to 1t Col Harding
10 place himself in position to demon
stratc his love OF country and gooC
qualities rs a soldier When the enc
mics Of our country assailel the natiOna
flag, Harding and Clinsan entered
with all the vigOr of youth into Tia,
great battle to put down the rebellion
aud their course throughout the wal
was marked with everything tina
distipsu' shes the true soldier auc
patriot.
They pledge themselves to suppor
any measure which tends to e:onomizt
and lessen the expenses OF government
and tho reduction OF taxation.
Republican unity throughout The
district makes their election .orcgon,
conclusion, nevertheless, zee er,cad dl
mcit0tjon 10 good and hoHest democrat
to join US in sending good, honest
representatives to Harrisburg. In thi
connection we may conclude by sayin.
to the taxpayers of Snyder county
that last winter, Andrew Dill, u demo
crat mis.rcpresented us at Harrisburg
that he originated and secured the
passage Of an act requiring the re-
surveying Of the county lines, the cos
of which will amount to $4,000, anl
as useless as an imaginary line acro'
the moon-that he was warm sup
porter Of the bill to pay fraudulent
claims for property destroyed by tn,
rebels in Pennsylvania, which woulc
have taken millions of dollars out o
the Trcasary-that's democratic eco
nomy.
