The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1886-07-07

Ar the head of these columns VIII he
found the Republican State ticket n"ml-
mated AT Harrisburg last week. The con-
v~ention fairly met the just expectations
of the people. Ii has placed Il strong
ticket upon a sound platform and has
discharged the duty confided to 1t with
wisdom and courage. The nomination
of the gallant, o~ne-legged soldier, General
James 4. Beaver, without a dissenting
voice. unquestionably registers the VIII
of all good PENNSYLVANIA Republicans
and Was i'm exact accordance with their
wish. Ii was Justly due him that he
should again he made the party leader
and standard bearer for the highest office
in the gift of the people of this grand Old
Commonwealth. And with HIM to lead
a thoroughly united and enthusiastic
marty. anxious and willing Ia follow
wherever he may lead, there should he
no fear or misgivings AZ Ia the result.
The wrong he suffered four years ago,
through no fault of his, needs To be right
ed. and the people are anxious for the
opportunity of doing 81. The party was
then divided and distracted by condi-
tons for which he was in no way respon-
-iblc. and he fell without personal fault
or weakness, without uttering IA word OF
complaint or reproach. The party Is
once more united and it now stands with
ranks unbroken for the gallant soldier,
the spotlcss citizen, the christian gentle
man who suffered defeat AT the head of
it, columns four years . without a sin
de murmur. He possesses III a higher
degree than any other man IN the State
all those qualities which are calculated
10 enlist the hearty and earnest support
of all Republicans in all sections of the
State. His brilliant military record and
his civic ability make him in every way
a worthy champion of the great party
which he will lead 10 victory in Novem-
Der next.
The second place on the ticket L.
filled by Senator William I. Davies.
who suffered defeat with Beaver in 1882,
and his friends thought it but fitting that
he should he placed on the ticket with
him and share with him the victory in
'S6. He is a strong candidate in every
n of the word a Republican whose
political fidelity has never wavered; Il
gentleman Of unimpcachable integrity
and spotlcsS character, both public ami
private with an honorable record made
in the State Senate, Il wide acquaintance
over the State. he is in every way worthy
to bc placed with Beaver on h ticket
to which he will add increased strength.
The balance of the ticket IL well
chosen. Composed of honest, fearless
Republicans. it could not Ice improv-
ed upon. Col. Norris and Col. Stewart
were both brave soldiers and both made
excellent records in the State Legislature;
both have great personal popularity and
both are very effective stump speakers,
The nomination of General Osborne Tor
Congressman at Large brings further
strength To the ticket. lie has Il SPLEEN
did army record and has had considera-
bile Legislative experience. He has been
an able and efficient representative IN
Congress and j. deserving of the endorse
mcnt he thus receives. Ii is Il good tick
ct from top Ia bottom. One that Is sure
to win and one that calls for the enthusl-
astic support of evcry Republican worthy
of the name within the broad boarderS
of the State.
