the Republican candidate for Cover

Mr.. Z. +. Eshleman said when
Hartranft was nominated three years
ago Lancaster County was slow to
wheel into line. To redeem and
atone for this mistake be asked the
privilege Of s~cc0ndinS this nomina-

IS eminently necessary for success, for
the party needs a pure man, and IN

On motion the Convention proceed
ed to the election of a candidate
for State Treasurer. Hon. Linn
Bartholomew of Schuylkill said;
1t is with great pleasure but with
difidence that l place in nomination
Butler B. Strang, of Tioga, an origl-
nal Republican who has long stood
in the front line for universal liberty
and national honor and glory. He
has a full and complete record for
years of public service, and can point
to it without a blush; he stands with
out a stain. In all great public ques-
lions he is outspoken and fearless.
Different sections of the State may
object to some of his public acts, but
such will ever be the east in the
conduct Of conscientious e None
can please all, every L must offend
some. So with Mr.. Strang. He,
however, stands before the people of
Pennsylvania, the recognized organ
and spokesman Of the Republican
party, who, when be utters his senti-
ments speaks to them in 30 uncertain
sound, but fairly, freely, aud fearless

these, when especially men should
think before they act. / pointto the
situation, the fires ofyour workshops
are out, the hum of the spindle is
hushed; the very industry ofthe peo-
pie is at an end; men ask for a change;
unless you can give the people con-
Gdence in what you do, and inspire
them with trust in those you nomin-
ate, it is a serious question whether
they will support you. /, therefore
urge caution; give US what will
strengthen our ticket. Let Hartranft
not be borne down with a heavy
weight, but rather lift him up. ZAP

his OWL. No man viii share his pro-
fit or disgrace. lie viii administer
his Office relying on himself alone,
and upon his truth in God. Let
such a man be put on the ticket, and
with Hartranft and Strang a trium-
plant cry will go up from lake to
river, from border to border, and Re
publicnaism will assume to be a thing
of principle and not of personal am
