Atkinson Nominated q

The Republican Conferees of this,
the 18th Congressional district, who
met in one of the Capital Rooms,
Harrisburg, Oct. 2, nominated Hon.
l.. f.. Atkinson, the present member,
on the 1S1st ballot. They had a
lively time of it.. Not having effect
ed n nomination on the evening Of
the first day. Notwithstanding then
having cast 1Ji ballots, the candi-
datcs met and agreed to dissolve the
confcrees from amy obligations to
vote for any particular man, thus
leaving them free to vote rs they
pleased This had no effect what
ever other than causing some very
crratic voting. On the morning of
the 3D., when the conferees again
met they began balloting at once.
There were numerous jumps for
this and that candidate, and several
times one or the other of the favor
ed ones came within an ace of get
ting there. At last on the 1Slst
ballot Juniata, Huntingdon and
Fulton cast three votes each for
Hon. l.. +. Atkinson, the present
Congressman, and Union followed it
up with two votes for the same gen
tleman, thus effecting his nomina.
ton. Franklin (3) went to Gehr
Snyder (3) went to Potter, NIiffiin g,
TO Culbertson, and one Union mar
stood out for Miller. The vote was
IL to 10 III Atkinson's favor. TIL,
nomination was made unanimous
and the conference adjourned.
Mr.. Atkinson is a statesman of in
telligence and ability, and is recog
nized throughout the district as on
of the best Congressman that eve
represented the counties composing
it. The selection is an eminentl
judicious one, and shows that tn
district favors retaining good ma
in place. Mr.. Atkinson was frs
elected in 1882, when he had a plul
atty over his Demscratic compel
tor of 730, and majority of 3O3 ovt
all. In 1884 the people were so plea
ed with him that they ran his mi
jority over all up to 2,4O3, In 1S'
Mr.. Atkinson defeated his DEM
cratic opponent by 3,247, and had
majority over all of 1850, thus pro
that his constituents think he is Il
right man in the right place. Ama
of broad views, gifted and brigh
his course i'll Congress has alwa.
reflected credit on himself and thoi
who 30 constantly increase his m
iorities. Having served over TO,
years in the army, Mr.. Atkinson h,
been especially watchful of the SC
diers' interests. That he will |
elected goes without saying, and !
largely increased majority.

This being n campaign of honor,
where political shysters and political
liars are to be stamped into silence
with the iron heel of contempt, it is
hardly fitting to stoop to the indig-
nifty of recognizing the Democrat
who is sailing through the county
under the nom de plume of "Repub-
hcan,' charging Hon. A. S. Helfrich
with opposing certain of our Repub-
licans i'll the last campaign and dis
coiraging the candidacy of Hon. l..
+. Atkinson for Congress. Those
who were in the political swim of the
last campaign know very well that
Mr.. Helfrich did not oppose any Re
publican candidate. That heinform-
ed Mr.. Atkinson of Mr.. Potter's
strength is nothing impohtic, for the
party in this county did stand by
him to lhe last and had he received
the nomination for congress the
county would have given him tre-
mendous vote. If Mr.. Helfrich is a
ring candidate, pray tell us who con-
stitutes the ring and where are its
bounds We answer, the people of
Snyder county constitutes it and the
geographical lines the county's limits
bind it. You cannot find fault with
his record as representative. Now
don't disgrace this thus far respec-
table campaign by dragging the can
didates into n dirty political whirl-
pool.

Fl. J. Duck, the Republican candi-
date for Register and Recorder, and
the present incumbent, has shown
himself an officer worthy of the con-
fdence of the people who elected
him. His close application to the
business of his ofiice-the prompt
discharge of his official duties-his
social excellence and treating in his
official capacity, democrat and re-
publican alike, has made him hosts
of friends in both parties, who will
on Nov. 9Th, next, give him IN over

Snyder County for the next term as
Associate Judge, is man of fair
legal ability and possessed of that
valuable gift of good common sense
upon which the dispensation of JUS
tice is founded. He is known as an
honest, conscientious citizen, n work
ing man who will understand and
sympathise, with the people over
whom he will assist in holding the
"scales of justice" A soldier of ex-
ceptionally good milit airy record, and
Il Republican. The President Judge
being Democrat, it is but justic G
to ask that the two subordinates be
men of the opposite party. Few
men i'll the Repub hcan party are
more deserving of political prefer
ment, and as such it is the duty OF
every Republican to stand by hin
and not only vote but work earnest
ly for his elect on.

An orchardist, recommending low

orchard, with branches coming out OF
the central stem oaly few inches from
the ground, and stated that at least
one-half the peaches were pick ed while
he was standing on the ground, and tho
rest with short standing ladder. As
the roots of the peach hive been re
peatedIy proved to extend much farther
from the stem than the hcigth of the
