Nomination of Major Henry Wetter for
State Senator.

The action of the Senatorial Con.
ferees of this district at their con-
ference held at Tionesta, on Tuesday
last, meets, so far as we have heard
any expression, with the unqualified
appreciation of the Republican party
and the people of the district.
The nomination being neither
solicited nor desired by Major Wetter
1t was made in order to meet the
wishes of not only the Republican
party of the district, but also at the
solicitation of large number of the
most prominent oil operators of
Clarion and the other counties core
prised in the oil Region. Being one
among the most extensive operators
practically acquainted with all the
needs Of the business, and gentle
man in whom they have unlimited
confidence, on behalf of the oil inter
ests, they, without distinction OF
party urged his nomination.
We therefore present Maj. Henry
Wetter not only as the chosen expo
nont of Republican principles, but as
the representative man of the oil busi-
ness which is the representative in
terest Of this Senatorial district.
AS such he will be everywhere
recognized, and from assurances eX.
pressed he will receive the solid vote
of the oil interest of the counties com.
posing the district.
We consider that a more fitting
nomination could not have been
made. Maj. Wetter's record is one
that cannot be successfully assailed by
the most malignant partisan. He was
gallant soldier and lost leg at the
second battle of Bull Run. AS bust.
ness man his career has been one o.
marked success, and this sufficiently
indicates his executive ability. A
sterling man, a christian gentleman
popular with all classes, if elected
which We have every reason to be-
lieve he will be, he will faithfully ant
efficiently serve the best interests o.
the people of the district. Clorio,
Republican.

The Times

Are surely getting better notwith-
standing the croakings of politicians;
else why should our most sagacious
merchants venture to lay in such
tremendous stocks of goods. We no
tice that our downstairs neighbors,
Messes Powell & Kline, are opening
up one of the largest and most COM
plete assortments of merchandise that
we remember ever before having seen
in our town. Indicationstoo are that
they have made no mistake in vcntur-
ing to increase their business, for
there is constant rush for their new
goods. Every department Of their
we'll arranged salesrooms seems to be
well filled not only with the choicest
of scasonable goods, but also with we'll
pleased and satisfied looking customers
If you have not already been there
this week, we advise you.tO go at once,
You will never be sorry.

breaches hard times as one reason
why he should be elected. Yet in
spite of his dismal croakings. his ar.
dent apologist, the Philadelphia
Times, gives him this slap in the face:
The fact that the condition of busi-
ness, both present and prospective, is
better than it has been at any time for
three years, is admitted, even by the
most dismal croakers. From every
centre comes the same pleasant tale of
brisk trade, more numerous discounts,
larger purchases and quicker collec-
tiOns.

In DARKxEs.-About two weeks ago
Mr.. W, r. Holiday, Collector Of Gus
toms at this port, received 4 circular
letter from Washington notifying him
that Congress had neglected to make the
customary appropriations for fuel and
gas for thegovernment buildings. and that
necessarily he would DO Obliged to dis
pense with both light and heat, 80 far as
Uncle Sans pocket book Is concerned,
until some provision Is made therefor
The appropriation for this purpose was
not at the time entirely expended, how.
ever, and the Custom House building was
warmed and lighted as usual until yes
terday, when the gas was turned of. The
gas trustees promptly offered to light the
building as usual and wait Uncle Sans
pleasure for payment, but the offer was
refused, for the reason probably that the
Collector Is not authorized to make such
contract.
The Postotice employees especially will
be put 70 considerable disadvantage by
this arrangement. They will be obliged
to do all their work in daylight, as Capt.
Rawling informs US no lights will be pro.
