FALSE REPORTS.

While. as we have said in another
place, the primary so far has been con-
Quoted quietly, yet we regret to hear OF
some false reports being circulated as
to some of the candidates. One is
and it is a common one-circulatlng
stories affecting candidates fidelity
to his party, by charging he has not
voted SO and so, and for so and SO. The
safe rule is to disbelieve all reports
inst preyious to elections, unless you
know them to be true They are al
woys put in circulation by interested
PARTIES. to help one by injuring another

A week from Saturday next the
Republican primary for this county
will come off. So far it has been con-
ducted very quietly. The candidates
themselves, however. we believe have
been stirring around quiteiiyclF. WIN
the material before the people there
ought to be a good ticket secured at
the primary. Congress and Assembly
are both important Offices. They make
onr laws and of all officers they should
be honest and competent. Every
voter is, therefore, interested in making
GOOD nomination= for those positions
We hope, therefore, there VIII % a
full turnout on Saturday week, June

THE TICK EFT.
Press Comments OH the Work
Of the State Convention.

The Republican State Convention
has placed in nomination a ticket
which will concentrate the united vote
of the party in November next.-Pdtts-
burgh Commercial
The ticket was made throughout by
Senator Cameron, with the exception
of Marshall, whose nomination made
itself, regardless of Cameron or bis
friends or foes. General Beaver was
early chosen as the candidate for Gov
ernor, the one position most vital to
Csmeron's continued supremacy,
and Beavers well-earned personal
strength made his success easy to ac-
compish Philadelphia Times.
The Convention rose to the full
height OF a great occasion 1t display
ed the same glowing spirit which
quickened the party with moral power
in its earliest days 1t faithfully rep
resented the Republican manhood and
the Republican aspirations of our
grand old Commonwealth 1t made
the strongest ticket, adopted the
strongest plarform, and did it all in
the strongest way that was possible

The State ticket nominated by the

not as yet sigDifed his acceptance ol

friends Of his, who are supposed to
know his views, that he will decline
the proffered honor. Should this prove
SO it will still further complicate mat
ters. He is perfectly fearless in char
acter, az ever, body knows, and
will do what be thinks in honor and

The ticket nominated at the KepuD-
lican State Convention of May 10th,
will be seen at the head ofthis column.
Last week we gave the proceedings Of
the Convention and this week we give
the comments Of q number of the Repub.
lican papers Of the State on the Con-
vention and the ticket. What is known
as the Independent Republican State
Convention meets in Philadelphia to-
day. What its action may be, OF
course, we cannot now say, but it Ia
generally expected that it will put
another State ticket before the people.
The cause for this is the interference
and bossism Of Senator Cameron with
the nominations made by the late Con-
vention. Had he renamed at Wash
ington, attending to his duties, there
likely would not be half the complaint
made that is. As it is, Senator Mitch
ell, our other u. s. Senator, has de-
clarcd against the ticket and is attend
ing the Independent Republican Con-
yention that meets to-day. The two
Senators taking different sides, and for
different tickets, presents a new and
much to be deplored state Of affairs in
the Republican party OF the State.
But it il the natural result of the des-
potic rule Of Cameron in our party
We have for years past protested
against it and predicted just what is
now happening. 1t has como sooner
than we expected We had hoped
that ticket headed by name like
Gen. Beaver, and that had on it the
name Of Thomas M. Marshall, might
reconcile all, and we are satisfied that
it is not on account OF objection to the
ticket itself so much as to the manner
that some upon it were previously
selected, slated and put through the
Convention. This continued method
and practice of Cameron has finally
aroused the people and brought on the
rebellion in the party that is now head.
ed by Senator Mitchell. We think as
he docs and have for years given our
feeble aid to rid the party of the per-
sonal rule of the one man power in the
State But we are committed to the
ticket nominated We took part in
nominating it and, as in honor bound,
will give it our support. AT the same
time it is not difficult to forcsee that il
to. day another good ticket Is placed in
the field there is much danger ahead
for the party. Mr.. Marshall too has
not yet accepted the nomination assign
ed him on the ticket and much may |
depend for its success on the course be
may determine to take in the matter.

The attitude of Senator Mitchell is
now the cause of much comment. His
declaration that be will not support
the ticket just presented to the Repub-
Leans by the Harrisburg Convention
has not been unexpected. In defining
his position he does not object to the
personal character Of the candidates,
but classes most of them, as far as
their influence in Pennsylvania poll
tics is concerned, with the men whose
political policy he severely condemns.
While he will be soundly abused for the
stand he has taken, the people are in
hearty accord with him in his motives,
although they may not approve his
methods.-Mercer Republican.

Last year the Grrman wire mills

than 10000 from the same source.
