making iiseliNhemd 81. behalf en-
eral Harty Allen for A1di,or General.
The Independent is IN eatnest, and
we clip the following as q sample
article. =
Among .thp promiuent gentlemen
named in connections with this impor-
tant Office, is that Of General Harry Al
len, Senator from tho Warren Dis,
tr'ct. His Dame Is known all over
tho State, not alone rs u leading pub
lie man, or the popular senator from
the District be represents. but As a
brave soldier during the rebellion
His army record is bright, and during
that fearful struggle he stood second
to no officer for 6rmness and his SOL
dicrly' qualities cudearcd him 10 the
people aud as u mark oi hieh esteem
IN which they held him for hi' devo.
tIon TO his country. aud n recognition
vi his merits az n man, be was chosen
to the important position which he
now fills, with high honor to himself
aud credit to his constituents.
His character is beyond reproacb
and with such q standard bearer. ,h,
Republican party would march
to certain victory, Knowing tb,
high stGndiug OF General Allen,
We would urge his nomination to the
convention as the best that can be
made. II the prestige Of popularity
is desired they have it in all its full
ness in this gentleman or OF fitness
they need not look further.
He will adorn the place and add Ia
1t the character which such stations
Should always present Thoroughly
educated, intelligent and refined as
, civilian tried and popular as an Off
Ger, bis name would rally the entire
sympathy Of his party.
The Democracy of to-day are awake e
to their interests, and should weak
incompetent or unpopular man be
chosen by their opponents, tbey will
not fail to re-enact the scene as in
Philadelphia, whereby they elected
q State Senator, when their opponents
really had large majority in the city,
aud save tue democracy the control OF
the Senate, OF Pennsylvania.
The convention will decide for the
best. But We can assure its me mi bers
it rests with them to win or secure
defeat. They have the lessons ofthc
past to warn them, and if they fail
the fault is theirs, when they car
avoid il by the election Of such man
rs we have presented.
