prime of life, and at the verge of that
maturity of mental power, which, in a
soaa9 body, grows and Strengthens
until the allotted period OF mans life is
passed lie is in his forty ninth year
and if elected, when his Constitutional
term OF twcnty-ono years shall have
passed, he will be in his SEVENTEEN
year His character as a man is above
reproach, and his record as a Judge is
that of ono who is pure, able and Of
sound judgment. His district embraces
much of the oil producing territory OF
the State, and in its litigation many
new and perplexing questions are con
tInually arising In graphing with
these, and in adjusting conflicting in.
terests growing out of such complica
ted issues, he has been eminently sue.
cessful, and his judgments, it is said,
have been rarely reversed by the Su,
preme Court. On the bench, as IN
private life, Judge Turnkey is cour
teous and self.poised, a good listener,
but prompt in decision and firm in adj
herence to his views. If he shall be
elected, as we believe he will be, the
State viii have secured a valuable addi-
ton to its highest judiciary. Judge
Turnkey was born in Mercer county in
1928, and presided in that district dur
ing his first judicial term. He is, like
bis probable compctitor-Judgo Ster'
rett--a member Of the Presbyterian
church.
The candidate for Auditor General, is
Hon. VIM. p Schell, of Bedford. He is
in his fifly.fifth year, q lawyer by pro.
fession, and man Of unblemished in
tegrity. He has been a member of
both branches Of the State Legislature,
and was Speaker OF the House of Rep
resentatiyes in 1853. He has always
been an earnest and active advocate OF
the interests OF the laboring classes, but
has never pandered to demagogueism
in that political field In 1872 he was
the nominee of the labor reform party
for Governor but withdrew in favor
of Mr.. Buckalew. He was the clear
choice Of the Convention and OF the
party, and we think will make com.
petent and efficient Auditor General
Col. Noyes, the candidate for State
Treasurer, is our neighbor, and many
OF our numbering people have been
brought into contact with him in their
business pursuits. We know him ia.
vorably as a genial gentleman of strict
integrity and fair dealing. He is ma
tive of New Hampshire, but for about
thirty years he has resided in our 10.
cality, and pursued tho business of
lumberman. He has repeatedly rcp.
resented Clinton county in the House
of Representatives, and is now men,
Der Of the Board Of State Charities. The
bluff and hearty manner, the whole
souled disposition, and the probity and
uprightness that have been the invari-
able characteristics of tho life of Col.
Noyes among the people OF the West
Branch, have endeared him TO all
and made him popular with all
parties. He will run far ahead of his
party in Central and Northern Penn
sylania, and his administration of the
finances of the State will be marked
by honesty and reform.
We cannot as highly endorse the
Iorm of the resolutions adopted by the
Convention as we approve its candi-
lates, OF their matter we approve,
out they are COACHED in language
which conceals rather than expresses
