young man and a fine stump speaker. He
will go into the campaign with energy
and will make a race that will open the
eyes of the Democracy. The work of the
Republican conventions have given great
satisfaction to the Republican party.

party never was in as good shape to go
forward and elect the whole ticket as it is
this year. The Democrats are trying o

Huntingdon Republican: The nomina.

strength to the cause. The candidate is
a profound thinker and a brilliant orator

the Democratic nominations that large
gains may be reasonably expected.
Bristol Reporter, (Dem.) J: The nomina-
ton of ALT. Taylor was a shrewd move,
and was made to keep the Democracy
from nominating their strongest man,
Hon. Bob Taylor. The declaration in
favor of submitting to the people the

decidedly gratifying to temperance men.

of the two great political organizations
Of the State will have q powerful effect
in shaping the decision Of the next gen
