assembled ct Lancaster. There we're
no other nsnes presented TO the con
yeniiun In cYnncciI.D with this of
J tice. In ihrse 4w bitieus times,
when nsen are constantiy wrestling
with each other for places Of honor
snd Distinction, this fact can OILY be
e1plained upon The ground that tie ad-
ruiniStrarion of Gov. Hartranft has been
rhUr ughiy acceptable TO bis party
The unauimiry of his present nor,ins-
I ton is nlso in striking contrast with his
nomination and subsequent election
three years ago. No man ever entered
upon the discharge of the duties of
hief Magistrate Of this gteat , ON
IouMealth, under such deep cloud of
suspicion, or with fewer real substan
lial friends, than did g, u Hartranft IN
! 1878. We confess TO disposition even
now, to criticise his administration as
sharply as ans one, but after casting
our eyes through the horoscope Of the
past three years, frankly confess that
with but few minor exceptions, We can
discover nothing to which we could
'airly take issue. Our political op-
ponents are equally at a loss !or mate
rial uut of which To construct a plat
form of opposition, but are reluctantly
compelled to permit its classification
among the most successful aiministra-
tions within the histarv Of the Com
monwealth. Hon. Henry Rawle, of
Erie, was nominated for State Trea
surer upon the second ballot. We are
especially gratiied with this nomina-
tiou. IL is in keeping with the de-
minds made by the rank and file of the
party, aud will prove tower of strength
IN the coming canvass. Although elec-
ted Mayor of the city Of Erie upon two
different occasions, he is not what the
world recognizes as 4 politician, but q
Thorough business man, and il was those
qualities that induced the citizens of
Eric to select him as their chief Exec
u;i-c officer Vest Chester .9msriean.
The nomination Of Governor Hart
ranff, for second term, was not only
due, as matter of party usage, but as
recognition Of his merits as man
and Governor. We have no hesitancy
in saying that among The many distin-
guished men who have occupied the |
Executive chair, none flied it more
crediiably than has John T. Har,ranft. /.

ing, yet clear headed and energetic, and |

furnished the best State papers, and the
most logical, sensible and timely vetoes .
ever submitted to the Legislature of
the State. His enemies, who deluged I
him with bitter taunts and cruel false !
hood during his previous canvass, now |
admit the operative success" Of his
administration. His friends 20 vastly
farther, and cllim positive success.
II was no small thing, when special
legislation was at its food, and ihose
who sought its advantages were peeu-

asked and received but few favors in

and above the necessity of making any
possible misuse of the Office for which

The nopiina,ion Of Governor Hart
ranf', and Nh. Hawle, by the Republi-
cans at Lancaster, is good omen of
victory In November. There has never Z
been better ticket than these tvs men
present to the voters of Pennsylvania.
Now then, clear the deck -H1rris-

The nominations Of IIartrarft and
lsawle are as acceptable as could have
been made, and constitute ticket
which any we'll wisher Of the State can

In the future we intend to refer TO
our nominees for GoVernor and State

suffice Us TO say that it is a strong ticket
and one that will command the earnest
Of all true Republicans.--Hon!
