STATE POLITICS.


| IOndcrOus Points for Popular Reflection
| Assemblyman NJ. II. SilverthOrn, o.
Erie, staunch Republican,. is out fol
Wolfe.
Editor Gcist has been at the Republican
state headquarters cheering Tom Cooper
with the assurance that Wolfe will not
carry Lancaster county.
! Rice, Hazlet, McC.eery and Souder, the
four most conspicuous rooster and ringster
members Of the Legislature from Philadel
phia are all /" fur Baily.
The Wolfe vote in Delaware county is
estimated at from 500 to 800, and many
members of the Chester Republican League
are outspokcn in his favor.
The Democrats of the Perry aml .Juni-
ata judicial district have honOrcd them
| selves in the nomination Of Charles A
Barnett for president judge.
The Central Independent Republican
club of Allegheny county will organize
to. night in Pittsburgh in support of
Wolfe.
The EastOn Free Press (fOr several years
4 Republican paper), which for some
time has been undecided whether to en-
dorse General Baily or G.. S, Wolfe, has
at last dropped the Republican party and
endorses Mr. Wolfe, calling upon all Re-
publicans to vote against Genera! Baiy.
The chairman of the Republican, Demo-
cratic and Greenback committees of
Schuylkill county have mutually agreed
to pay no taxes or poll money for delin-
quent voters and give nothing for taking
out naturalization papers.
That veteran Democratic editor II. J..
Diffenbach says: " The Williamsport
platform is much the best VIC have seen in
%yr-, nf,yy H. ~
principle. Its avOwaIs are clear and dis
tinct and reiterate the true principles of
the Democratic party. Let us see to it
that our representatives and other officials
arc held to them hereafter.
Mr.. Orange Noble, the Democratic nom.
inee for state treasurer, has one indirect
claim upon the sympathies of the general
public. The organs of the Standard oil
company with one voice depounee him as
an unfit person Tor the Office.
Important Work diminished.
Emporium Independent.
The work of the convention, so far as it
went, was done wisely and well, but it left
undOne an important item, viz. action
upon the rules proposed for the govern
ment of the party in tho state. These
rules had been carefully prepared by q
committee, had been accepted by the state
committee and recommended by the Demo-
cratic press Of the state, and the conycr.
ton should have adopted them with great
unanimity. Their excuse is, want of
time.
The Democratic. Candidate.
Uniontown Genius of Liberty
Hon. Orange Noble, our candidate for
state treasurer, needs no lengthy disser-
tations to establish his claims to the SUP.
port Of the Democratic party. HIS hon
esty is unquestiOned. His business ability
has been fully demonstrated, in the aeon.
of a fine estate. His candidacy
was not engineered by any ring, but was
the untrammeled expression of the poDu. |
lar will of the party through their dele |
gates selected to represent it. He is a
anti-monopolist, identified with
no factions or corporations, and will act at |
Ill times with the people and for the
people.
The Need Of Rules
Clinton Democrat.
It is to be regretted that the late conyen-
ion did not provide for the permanent and
constant activity Of the state committee.
The effective work of disseminating correct
Information and doctrines must be done
IL the absence of high excitement and es-
,ecially ut other time than the eve of c,ec.
ions. Editors everywhere are in constant
want Of exact information and there should
lways be an authority to which they could
pply with certainty that it would be
and accurately furnished. A Der.
nauent state committee is the only re-
ource that is suggested.
Our Platform Demands 1t.
American, Rep.
Pennsylvania has a little bill Of over So
