Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1871-07-01

THE selection of the new member of the
State Central Committee from
this county may be proper enough SO far as
the person is concerned, but the manner
may be regarded as somewhat objectiona-
BILE. At the opening of campaign OF
such importance rs the one we are about
entering, to be followed by momentous
Presidential campaign, n selection of such
consequence as that Of member of the State
Central Committee should have been known
to more than two or three persons. 1t
looks disrespectful to the many for several
to lake the entire management OF such an
affair without even word of consultation.
Besides the monopoly of two important po-
sitions in the party organization OF the
county, looks as'if there was only one man
capable of running the macbine.-Sun6o1y
Gazette.
The above extract looks as though our
neighbor was disposed to be jealous of our
position. AS it has always been the Gus
tom for the Delegates to the State Conven-
ton to name the member for the State Cen
trail Committee, we presume the delegates
at the last convention concluded to perform
their duty as has been customary, similar
to the appointment of our neighbor to that
position some years ago, except that he So
licited the position. AT the late conven-
tion we had no idea who would be named,
as we did not solicit the place, nor did it
concern us, as we had implicit confidence
in the delegates as to who, in their judg-
ment, should be the member from this
county nor did we think it worth while to
consult them on the subject knowing that
but few persons were willing to serve in
that capacity, as it is position altogether
of honor, if any honor is attached TO it,.
When we were informed that we had been
chosen, we felt inclined to decline, and it
was only through the earnest solicitation OF
some of the most prominent members OF
the Republican party that we accepted, and
then only because no one else was known
to be willing to serve (the editor of the Ga.
( zette iucluded,) without 'pay." AS we
have served the party in capacity similar tc
it, we have concluded to continue to serve
them in any position whatever, in which il
it is thought we can effect good to the
Republican cause, whether our neghbor Of
the Gazette is consulted and gives his con
sent or not.
Probably it may be gratifying to the del
egates attending the late convention tt
know that their action is not only approved
by the members of the party, but also by
the press in this vicinity, in proof of which
we copy the following notices
WE are pleased to learn that Emil. VIII
vert, editor of the Sunbury american ha
been appointed the Member for this count,
of the Republican State Central Committee
No better selection could have been made
My. Wilvert has been chairman of tn
County Committee for number of years
and is thoroughly conversant with TIN
work to be performed, and fully competen
to discharge the duties appertaining to tn

WE last week omitted to mention the ap
pointment of Emanuel Wilvert of the Anlt
TicdI as member of the Republican Stat
Central Committee for this county. NIr
J Wilvert is q Jealous worker, and has tn
experience and qualifications necessary t
make him an efficient member of that body
We regard the appointment as good one
and we believe it gives pretty general salts

: from Northumberland "onntv - '~""'l
we copy the following from the Demo
cratic Guard, of this week, to show wha
opinion our opponents have of the selection
The Guard says:
'The republican convention of this Stat
made good selection when they place
Emil Wilvert, ofthe american, on the Stat
Central Committee. lie is active, and on
of tie most industrious republicans in th
county, and it is an evidence that the dele
gates understood their business at least il
this matter-when they placed him in tina
position. Although Mr.. Wilvert, politically
is opposed to us to the bitter end, yet W
can not help doing him justice when h
deserves il.
