The Democrats Of Pennsylvania
have set al example TO their breth.
rem IN other States which oaght to
be followed. They have nominated
a young man, not 80 years Of age,
for governor. Such a nomination
means new measures, new asA,cix,
tons, a forward step in the march
Of progress. The Democrats of
Massachusetts, a few years since,
broke away from tradition aud
nominated William CASTOR, the
mayor Of Boston for governor. He
was elected by . handsome majority
in that Republican State, and WAS
q popular and successful governor.
1t WAS grave mistake to let him
drop out Of public lite.
