The nomination Of Orange Noble, OF

cratic State convention, which met in
Williamsport, Wednesday, is an uBmis-
taxable omen Of psrty victory in No.

upright man. lie is identified with no

those which true citizen acknowledges

he Is an anti monopoly candidate,
and appears before the voters of the
State upon an outaDd.out anti monop.
oily platform. As against Baily, man
whose record and platform present no
pledges against the monopolies, the
patriotic Independent voter will be
prompt 10 express his preference for
Orange Noble.
The Democrats Of Pennsylvania have
done themselves proud. They have
taken a long stride in advance of their
Republican brethren and placed them.
selves squarely upon record upon the
only real question before the country
that is, the people versus the monopo.
lies. The record and character Of the
candidates are in full accord with the
platform on which be stands. The &C.
;ion of the Williamsport convention
reduces the ensuing canvass TO a simple
struggle between the monopolies and
the people, and the Democracy are on
the right side.
Orange Noble will be the next State
Treasurer Of Pennsylvanis-mark that.

Hon. Orange Noble.

The Democratic Convention Mt Will
Transport did we'll. 1t placed in nom
ination for the important Office of State
Treasurer a man whose name is the
synonym of political honesty and busi-
ness integrity. Where Orange Noble
is known there is no need of eulogy.
BY dint of untiring energy, strict at
tention to his affairs and fair honora-
bic dealing with all men, he has rear
ed for himself a monument of honest
purpose and we'll directed effort that is
whittier than Parian marble. The sue.
cess that has crowned his useful life
did not come to him unbidden. His
clear brain and the remarkable grasp
of his unerring judgment many years
ago placed him at the front of the sue
cessful business men in the Western
part of the State. He was engaged in
largo enterprises and concerned in
great projects, but through all the
temptations that beset him to make un-
wise use of his advantages, he remain
ed what he is to-day, the honorable up
right gentleman. His fellow citizens
long since recognized his sterling
worth, and whether as Mayor of the
city of Erie in the days past, or as a
member of the present legislature, Mr..
Noble has carried with him the high
purposes with which he started out
upon a brilliant and successful career.
He is eminently qualified for the posi-
ton Of State Treasurer. He will bring
to the discharge of this high trust a
mind fully equipped and thoroughly
trained in all that concerns the fiscal
affairs of the Commonwealth. His
own almost phenomenal success in the
conduct of his own business is q guar.
antee that the peoples business will
not suffer in his hands. He will not
conceal his places of deposit; neither
will there be any treasury ring form
ed with Orange Noble as its plant
tool. He will be elected and the peo-
pie will rejoice.

course President Arthur doesn't care
for New York politics. He is simply
in his native State to settle his private

vate business to be settled there now.
The Camerons, father and son, have
private business there. Senator Jones
of Nevada likewise is fairly crushed
with the burden of private business.
Gen. Grants head reels as he looks
upon the accumulating private busi-
ness that looms up before him. Ex-
Senator Chahee is said to have so much
private business just now that fears are
entertained that he may, while labor
ing under temporary hallucination,
turn honest. And the most remarka-
bic part of it is that all the private bu-
siness of these gentlemen is transacted
in President Arthur's Lexington Ave
nue. house Our President must be an
accommodating sort Of a fellow. As
he will not need his New York resi-
dence for 4 while, he might invite the
306 to occupy it until further notice.
And il would be an act Of graceful
condecension upon the part of our
simple President to fit up a place in
the haiti for Field Marshal Halstead's =
use, and from this point Of vantage he
could write beautiful and affectionate
dispatches to his paper about Presi-
dent Arthur's perfect indifference to
all things but Ohio.

The different political organizations

They are now in position to challenge

The Republican party, the Greenback

to defeat the old Democratic party OF
the county and of the country. Nei.
ther one of them can claim 4hat they
produce any superior men as candid
ates for the several offices, or men
more competent and deserving of the

preventative men, and as such entitled

petuity, the success and ascendency OF

tic government, which this grand old
party has ever represented with unfal.
tering fidelity. Men are nothing. but
principles are immortal, and so far as
the men are selected to represent these
principles by party machinery, We are
bound to sustain them. To uphold
aud maintain these against the assaults
ofenemies or the intrgues of faction, we
are necessitated to maintain the iuteg-
rity Of organization. We therefor say
to our friends, vote the Democratic
ticket entire without weakening it by
a single scratch. The candidates are
worthy your confidence, fairly placed
in nomination by your own chosen
agents, and the only men before you
that represent the principles and integ-
rity of the matchless party organiza-
ton which we all love and venerate
as a system handed down to us by the
true friends of free government.
