The Republican party ofPennsylvania of has
to-day for its nominee one Of the most bril-
liant and able most level-headed and pru-
dent among all the host of bright and con-
spicuous characters which it possesses.
From the Haz.e;on sentinel
With Delamater Watres and Stewart as
our standard bearers, the Republican party
can well afford TO meet the free trade Patti
son Democracy this fall, and abide the re-
suit with confidence.
From the Mea5viTe Tribune.
That the nomination of Senator Delama-
ter is popular one and one that will be
overwhelmingly ratified at the polls, is
abundently evidenced by the hearty endorse
ment the ticket is receiving by the thought
ful and intelligent voters throughout the
State.
From the Bellefontc Gazette General Hastings
home.)
While the outcome of the convention was
not what the people Of this community most
desired, il is nevertheless true that a most
excellent candidate has been named for Gov
ernor in the person OF Hon. George W. Della
mater, of Meadyille, Crawford county.
From the Reading Times
or the personal excellence of the ticket
there can be no possible question, while the
developments of the convention show that
there was fair field and an open, honorable
contest for the honors, and that those who
carried them off did 50 only because they
were the decided choice Of a majority of the
masses of the party in the State.
From the Scranton Republican.
But there are no indications whatever of
disafiection among Republicans. Disappoint-
ments there are, but nothing more, and such
disappointments as exist will speedily be for
gotten. When General Daniel II. Hastings,
declares he has no cause for complaint then
certainly no other has. for of seven aspirants
he and Delmater alone had grounds on
which to base expectations Of success.
Prom the Chambersburg Public Opinion.
Delamaier Is gentleman who stands so
well with his neighbors that in his candida
cy for the GovernOrship he found support in
nearly every home Of Crawford county. His
life began al Meadville, and it is told that
his boyhOod. youth and manhood are an
open book VI "a bl0tted page. He comes
Of one Of the moss aighly respected families
in the community, and biz every act in pri-
vate and public life has been of a character
to dignity and elevate an already honorable
name.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Rep.
The Republican State Convention has
made no mistake in placing George Wallace
Delama,er a; the head Of its ticket. He has
won his spurs fairly and honestly after a
contest with half dozen candidates any
one Of whom would have been an ornament
to the party and an invincible standard
bearer. 1t is no dispsragement to the Others
that Mr. Delamater has been selected. He
made a brilliant canvass. he attracted the
most delegates TO his banner and be won.
That tells the whole story. Mr.. Delamater
will make strong candidate and a wise
Governor.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Ind..)
In this and in other respects it was Mr..
Quay convention. Its composition and its
work are another demonstration of his su-
preme power in Pennsylvania politics and
its unabated faith and confidence in him
personally, as well as in his leadership, are
shown in the unanimity and emphasis with
which il repels and repudiates and treats
with scorn the attacks upon his character.
SO far as 'yindicaiionn by the powerful and
controlling political organization can 20. he
has 1t complete. Only man of great iu-
ielleciual force can accomplish such results
IN The face of such inveterate hostility as
Ar. Quay has TO encounter.
From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
The best evidence Of a mans popularity
Is found al his home. There is Scriptural
quotation to the effect that a prophet is not
without honor save in his own country. He
must be very extraordinary man who is
not only honored by those from distance
but whose fellow citizens rejoice that be is
so honored and manifest their pleasure in an
unmistakable way. Such man is George
wallace Delamaser. When it was learned
at Meadyiiie yesterday that he had been
nominated for Governor by the great Re-
publican party Of Pennsylvania the citizens.
irrespective Of party, met and rejoiced and
showed in various demonstrative ways their
great Pleasan. Such a man will win.
