ING QUESTION OF THE HOUR

ING QUESTION OF THE HOUR
A snecial dispatcb from Po.tssi lille to Che
PhiIa. Times, bearing date Sept. 70, says !:
The news of the nomination of Judge
Pershing for Governor did not reach here
until about o clock this morning. 1t gave
great satisfaction to the judges many
friends, and these are Of both parties, as
his able administration OF justice IN inns
county has commanded the admiration OF
all good citizens, and his pleasant sociai
qualities make all who come in contact with
him feel that they are in the society of an
educated gentleman. Judge Pershing is
one of the most unassualing of men, never
seeking office, bat when chosen to I'LL one
he has always made those who have chosen
him feel proud of their Judgment. Judge
Pershing received quite number of con-
gratulatory dispatches from the most
prominent men in the Democratic party,
which seems to verify the assertion of The
TINES Erie correspondent that there is no
personal antagonism against MIR. Pershing
At the count house to-day he was SUR
rounded by an admiring crowd anxious to
hear what the gentleman whom they be-
lieved would be our next Governor had to
say. The nomination seems to have been
unexpected by him, and he says he had no
desire for it, and only tlIe earnest solicita-
tion Of friends induced him to permit his
Jfftfio W So DcioIc tnc C'1iiNcutlOh. A'ut
that being nominated, he will, if elected,
Cheerfulfy undertake the duties of the Office,
and perform them ;mpartially and to the
best OF his ability. He believes that the
great need of the present is to- secure for
the people an honest and economical gov
ernment, and 20 awaken so deep an interest
in public affairs among the whole mass OF
the people and such a Jealous appreciatiun
of the reciprocal rights and Duties Of the
~, ~
an utter disregard Of these rights and du-
ties as has characterized the administration
of public affairs during the past fifteen
years may in the future be impossible.
That thorough reorganization of all
branches of government is necessary so that
no more persons shall have public empicy-
ment than is necessary to perform the work.
On the subiec of the finances Nh. Pershing
was reticent. not desiring to express any
opinion upon a subject which had so little
to do with the office for which he has been
nominated. He said that political plat
forms meant very little at this day That
/ in the United States every year, for many
years, an average of sevenfy-two platforms
had been adopted, and yet but little, Al
anything, had been accomplished by them.
That he supposed many Republicans woulG
stand on the Democratic platform and vote
the Republican ticket, and cicc rersa. The
JuuSe mas NOT yet received any Official no
tification of his nomination. If the people
of Pennsylvania should elect Judge Perish
ing they will certainly have Ieformer for
I Governor who, in the administration of
public affairs, will know neither friend noI
/ foe, and viii never be influenced by either
fear or favor. He came to this county in
/ the interest of reform, and in the few years
! he has been here he has untlinclingly rel-
/ formed every duty Of his Office as Judge
/ The people Of Schuyll<ill county appreciate
/ this, and will give him l1rge majority.
