The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1888-10-24
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

Less than two weeks yet remain Of
the great campaign Of 1888. The
time is short and the lines are closing
up for the final assault. The fight is
squarely between Protection and Free
Trade, and in such a contest it ought
not be difficult to guess how America
will vote. The candidates presented
by the Republican party, from the
National down to the County nominees
are unexceptionable in character, abil.
ity and in their devotion to the cause
of American institutions and indus.
tries. The country is already we'll &C.
quainted with the vast superiority of
General BEN Harrison and Hon.
Levi P. Morton. With these stand.
ard bearers, and Protection to Ameri.
ca as the watchword, the Republicans
Of the nation have made and are
making glorious fight and winning
one.
Our State candidates-Hon. james
7. Mitchell for Supreme Judge, and
Hon. Thomas McCamaat for Auditor
General-are both eminently fitted
for the positions to which they aspire,
and both will be triumphsntly elected,
and the State will be faithfully served
by these officials.
For Congress the Republicans Of
this overwhelmingly Democratic dis.
trict have endorsed the candidacy Of
Theodore P. Rynder, the noted labor
leader of this State. While Mr.. Ryn.
der has not been identified with the
Republican party, he represents in
every essential point what our party
is fighting SO nobly to maintain in this
countryside supremacy of the Amer
ican laborer over the pauperized labor
of Europe, and if the Republicans can
prevent one free trader like Mr.. Kerr
the Democratic nominee, from enter.
ing Congress, by the election of SC
pronounced protectionist as Mr.
Rynder, we say amen to it. And il
all in this district who are opposed tc
British free trade will give their votes
to him, protection and the volunteer
soldier will have friend in Congress
who will never betray them, and there
are just enough voters of this kind il
the 2Sth district to do it, if they will
only cast their ballots as their con
science dictates. Vote for Rynder tn,
protectiouist as against Kerr the free
trader.
For Assembly Hon. Charles A
Randall was accorded re nomination
by the Republican party of this coun
ty without a dissenting voice. Per
sonally Mr.. Randall needs no intro
duetion to the people of Forest count
who recognize in him a man worthy O
their confidence and esteem. Hi
record in the last Legislature is one i
which he or any other individua
might take just pride. For a ne
member he was wonderfully successfr
in gaining the confidence of his fello
members, and his influence in shapin
legislation was felt from the star
