A Ma chine Nomination.

From the Altoona Times, Dem.J
The convention decided yesterday at Harris
burg that Mr.. Delamater will be the candidate
on the Republican ticket for the Governorship
of Pennsylvania. 1t was an assured thing to
those who were acquainted with Senator
Quay's methods that If he choose to name a
man for the position victory was sure, at least
for the candidacy. Whether the Republicans
whoswer defeated in Harrisburg yesterday,
and who should have what the party owes
them. are going to put up with the nomination
is yet to be determined.

Almost the first thing that the Independent
Republicans of Pennsylvania should do is to
enlarge the basis of representation in the State
Convention. It contains about one-third as
many delegates as the New York Republican
Convention. It is of convenient size to he put

A Satisfactory Result.

The work OF the convention in nominating
Senator Delamater was eminently satisfactory.
We have constantly advocated his nomination,
believing him to be the best and most available
of the gentlemen who had been mentioned for
the honor. His sterling character and high
ability are too well known to need detailed
comment at this time. He will, when the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania shall have given him their
suffrages, be worthy successor of the line of
able Governors OF Pennsylvania, and credit to
his State and to his party.

II Means a Democratic Victory.

From the New Ork Star, DEM.
Delamaters nomination by Quay's conven-

of Pennsylvania. 1t must be that the election
of such man as Quay's henchman is imposs-
BILE by the fair vote of the Keystone State 1t
remains for the Democrats to put forward as
their candidate the man strongest with all the
elements hostile to misrule and to see to it
that legal votes are freely cast and fairly
counted.

Weak Nomination.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger, Ind. Rep. ]
As large majority of the delegates to the
convention were devoted friends and cham.
pions of United States Senator Quay, it was
inevitable that Delamater, his personal and no.
litical favorite in the canvass for Governor
must be made the nominee for that Office
While there was profession of neutrality by
Mr.. Quay as between the contestants, it was
observable that in whatever locality in the
State his influence preponderated, delegates
were sent to the convention who were counted
upon as safe to vote for Delamater on the deci-
sive ballot no matter whom they voted for at
first.
In this and in other respects it was Mr..
Quays convention Its composition and its
work are another demonstration of his supreme
power in Pennsylvania politics; and It's un-
abated faith and confidence in him personally.
as well as in his leadership. are shown in the
unanfmity and emphasis with which it repels
and repudiates and treats with scorn the at
tackS upon his character. So far as ''vindica-
tion" by a powerful and controlling political
organization can go, he has it complete We
wish the Ledger could say that Mr.. Quay's
Judgment in selecting candidate for Cover
nor from among the aspirants in this canvass
was equal to his skill and ability in controlling
the event. General Hastings we think, would
have been more advisable nominee
in the party point of view. If the selection
had been made by popular vote of the Repub.
lican party. instead of having been brought
about by the influence of the organization. we
think he would have been the nominee.

We regret that the convention did not nomi-
nate General d. H. Hastings for Governor as
he was the strongest candidate before them,

public affairs, and as the next Governor of
Pennsylvania he Is capable Of giving the State

against wanton destruction is called for as
a means of rendering agriculture more GER

order to prevent enormous losses, both di

his native land never ceased indeed, his

however, in his study of solar heat and the
development of his sun motor, and was not
willing to transfer himself to a region so
little adapted TO such studies as the high
lattudes of Sweden. He needed as he ex-
planned, to be near the vertical rays of the
sun. New York is certainly not vertical
ly under the sun, but the rays in midsum-

The climate is changing so people often
say. When there comes a very heavy
snow storm it is spoken Of as Old fashioned
aud u there is q winter Of little snow thev
say we do not have such snow storms as
we had in old times The fact is that the
climate is changing, and it is a daily change,
weekly aud yearly change. and often of
several years together, which are much
alike. A few years ago we had less than
the average preciUitation for three wears
in succession. The farmers of the neigh
borhood were somewhat alarmed lest their
cattle would suffer for water to drink. We
read about the superabundant rains of dis
tant parts of the country. with wish that
we could have a part Of their too much.
and people talked about the forests having
been cut off so that there was permanent
dlminution Of the rainfall But then in
March, 1883, came the blizzard Nobody
had heard of such a thing. even in the old
times and the fall Of snow exceeded any of
the old fashioned kind that had been so
much talked about Then came a summer
when rain was abundant aud sunshine "A

IDENTIFY did not apply TO New England 1t
ralned so much that the street sprinklers
were nuisance, aud the people who lived
IN the part of the town where they did not
run congratulated themselves on the fact
In the fall we had another blizzard, which
would have been remarkable if it had not
been exceeded the spring before, and the
past summer aud autumn have been noted
for the abundant rain, though warmer
than the preceding summer.
The New England climate is as change
able from year to year, aud from one
period OF several years together to another,
as it notoriously is day by dav. If we
should describe the climate the exceptions
will be almost more numerous than the
rule. The books say that the winters are
extremely cold, and the summers intensely
hot, and 50 they often are, but not always.
Last winter was not very cold, and Ger
talnly the last two summers have not been
hot During every month Of 1916 there
were frosts IN Massachusetts, and the corn
did not ripeu, so that the farmers had to
send elsewhere for seed to plant the next
season, and the people then thought that
the climate of New England was growing
colder. But since then we have had many
hot summers, such as the books lay down
as characteristic of this section. The
winter of lS21-2S was hardly winter at
all in this region. The farmer could plow
every month"; and then it was thought that
the climate was moderatng. But it was
only temporary caprice The laws of
nature are uniform in their action here as
elsewhere, but there are some influences
not yet discovered which make the New
England climate seem capricious, but it is
more IN our ignorance Of causes than in
any instability Of law Ne,cbu.yUOf Hrr-
