The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1882-09-13
GENERAL HARRY WHITE.

The Kittanning Free Press, speak
ing of the nomination of Gen. White,
uses lhe following language which
cannot be successfully gainsaid by any
OF his opponents who have the least
disposition to be fair and just in their
criticisms
$50 the Republican party starts out
under the most favorable auspices. In
General White they have a candidate
in whose whole public life there is
neither spot nor blemish. In the
midst of corruption that sometimes
will creep into the administration of
the best government on earth, there sis
no one who can lay their finger upon
dishonest act in General Whites
whole public career Of nearly twenty
years. In this score of years some of
our brightest political men have been
seorched with that terrible blight of
political corruption. Many of them
have fallen and are now slumbering in
oblivion. But General Whites record
stands bright to- day and will bear the
closest scrutiny. He has not in any
sense been any mans man. He has
opposed Senator Cameron ON many
occasions when he was in the State
Senate, and since he has been in the
National House of Representatives.
He has favored Senator Cameron
when ne was right and opposed him
when he was wrong. In this way he
has pursued uniform course of &C.
tioR, which must commend him to all
thinking men.
What this Congressional district
wants in the next Congress is a man
who has the ability and experience to
demand from the National Legislature
our just rights. The day has gone by
when this district must be nothing else
than "hewers of wood and drawers OF
water" We want bold and agrees.
i've leader. II General White is
elected he will be ore of the leaders in
the next House of Representatives
He is the superior of either Robeson
of New Jersey; Hiscock, of New
York, or Kasson of Iowa. This being
the case, why should not this Con,
gressional district gain the promi
nence We see no other reason why il
should not. When General White
takes his position on the floor of Con
gress he will command the attention O.
the whole House. He has great in
tellectual ability, a fine cultured
miRd, strong reasoning powers and &
gift of oratory that is not excelled by
any public man in Pennsylvania
today. He has the experience which
is so important in national affairs
When he debates a public question, h,
arranges his points in logical order
and thus reasons with great clearnes
and power. 1t is important for th,
people to kHow this in order that they
may have q proper idea of the capa
bility of the man they are voting fo
to represent them in the council cham
bers of this great nation. In voting
for General White they vste for maj
who will take his position in argsmen
with any of the representatives il
Congress. 1T certainly ought to be
source of satisfaction to every citizel
of this district, irrespective of party
to kaow that they have a representa-
tive who can present their cause in al
able and acceptable manner.
As matters look it seems certain
that General White will be elected b.
a large majority, People generall
admit that his election is secure. Blu
it will not do TO be inactive. Ever,
man must do bis full duty, so tina
when the ides of November come, b,
will receive such vote as will secur,
a most triumphant victory"
