with the work of. the Pennsylvania republican
convention. The convention elected delegates

those chosen by the convention are not men of
proper character, and that they were selected in
obedience to ring of self-copstituted, unprin-
cipled party managers. The nomination of
General Hartranft it believes to be inauspicious
and sad opening OF what promises to he a m ,st
exciting and difficult campaign, in which il will
require superhuman efforts to elect the ticket
