The Liberal Republicans OF Pennsyl
vania have Informally determined ;,
hold State Convention at williamsport
in August, to consider the prophet,
of nominating candidates for .Governol
and State Treasurer. " 0
In view of this fact it may not be ou
of place--inasmnch as the Liberal Re
publican organization has its head anG
front in this city-to inform you as tc
its strength and purposes.
The Liberal Republicans Of this State
are those gentlemen who went to Gin.
cinnati three years ago this May. They
numbered forty-seven men in all; while
at the Cincinnati Convention, which
nominated Mr.. Greeley, they met and
appointed Col. Aleck Mcclure, chair.
man Of the State Committee, and Hon.
Win. II. Ruddiman, member Of the Ma.
tional Committee. Col. Thos J. Wor.
rell was made chairman Of the Commit
tee, Of this city, Wortel, VITA his two
Secretaries and Treasurer, and all his
executive committee have returned to
the Republican fold, and are in full fel-
loRship with il, now that tits. intensely
anti Grant. Ruddiman has been stump
ing it during the past two years for the
Republicans and two OF McC Clure 3 own
Secretaries arepronOunced Republicans,
thus 4eaying only s'Aieck'' and Rauch,
of Lancaster, the Liberal Republican
party of Pennsylvania.
The object Of the wilGamsport Con
vention is to forestall the nomination of
what Nc 0lure terms q '.Bourbon Dem
ocrat, = for Governor, by the Liberals
nominating either Edgar Cowan OF An
drewG. Curtin. AS the delegates to
that convention Will attend upon the in
vitation of Col. MoGlure, or Ell Slifer,
it is scarcely piobablyi that Ex-senator
Cowan can be hoodwinked by the little
conjunction ''or. s'. r.oa .H.
Free transportation to and from vii
Transport, and free boarding for week
at Herdic's hotel, would attract crowd
at the convention, respectable at least in
number. -

Another evidence Of the prosperous
times that are coming with the bursting
of the buds in May, is found in the APP
plication. during April, for permits to
erect l102 houses, stores, churches, &C.,

were but 696 permits issued. OF the
permits issued for 1875. there were 400
for two story houses, ,435 for three story,
8 for four story, 40 stores and dwellings,

for April, of themselves, would form a
pretty respectable sized town. d"
