in power of the Republican party of the Ma

foreign competition so far it reasonably can
be in the adjustment of the tariff and by the
fostering care of the government, to the end

surest and safest method of inparting knowl
edge to the rising generation, and should be
literally supported by both State and National
aid.

Convention, which meets next week, with a
lively hope that James G. Blaine may be Sc
lected as our standard bearer, in the coming
National contest, with Robert T. Lincoln as
his associate on the ticket. believing that
such ticket would receive hearty support
from this county in November but at the same
time, the republicans of this county will yield
hearty support to whatever ticket the wisdom
of the convention may select.
FIFTH. That we do most heartily recon-
mend to the members of our Legislature upon
whom will fall the duty of electing successor
to the Hon. J. d. Cameron, the name of that
noble and true soldier and patriot, Gen Jas. A.
Beaver, as man in every way qualified to fill
the position with honor to himself and credit to
our Commonwealth.
SIXTH. That we endorse the administration
of our President, C. A. Arthur, as wise, prudent
and patriotic and that coming into power
through the national calamity of the death of
President Garfield, the nations pride, he has
had many oppositions to overcome and preju-
dices to allay, yet he has won the confidence
and admiration of the people as a man of pure
intentions and frmness of character so as to
make his administration popular and the coun-
try prosperous
SEVENTH. That in our nominee for Judge,

Capt. Geo. w, Fleeger, we have candidate

whose names will come before the District
Conference, we claim for our county and our
candidate favorable recognition at this time,
believing that all will finally concede our equi-
table claims for present recognition.
NINTH. That in presenting the name of the
Hon. A. L. Campbell to the Senatorial Con-
ference of this district, we offer fellow citizen
for that nomination, who has already earned
the confidence of our people, by honorable
