From slse scranton Republican
The nomination OF Senator Delanaier for
Governor was the free and untranlmeied
action Of a majority OF the eO4 delegates OF
that body. The delegates were, in the main,
intelligent. conscientious Repnblicans who
respected what they believed to be the
wishes of their constituents and the best m
terests Of the party.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Postmaster and Editor B. +. Meyers, OF
Harrisburg, that delightful old dyed-in-ihe-
wool Bourbon. who was one Of NJ Wal

in the Democratic party this year will be
promoted with club.
From the Greensburg Press.

Our Democratic friends will fight losing

stronger yesterday than il is to-day it IS
stronger to-day than it will be tomorrow.
When the votes are counted in November ii

Pennsylvania have pretty generally voted

the old Bourbon Democratic party new
lease Of power Republican principles suit

candidates who represent those principles
