Republican State Convention

Chairman Andrews of the Republican
State Committe, issued the following call
for the holding Of the State convention this
year.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa; June 20, 1S91.-To
The Republican Electors Of Pennsylvania:
After consultation and correspondence
with the members of the Republican State
Committee, and by their direction, here
by give notice that the Republicans OF
Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen repre-
sentatiyes will meet in State Convention,
at Harrisburg ,,on w ednesday, August, 18th
1891. at 10 o'clock A. NJ, for the purpose
Of placing in nomination candidates for the
offices of the State Treasurer and Auditor
Genaral, for the nomination of eighteen
candidates for delegates at large to the
Constitutional Convention provided for In
the act of Assembly approved on June
10Th, 1891, and for the transaction OF such
other business as may be presented.
Notice is specially directed to the TACT
that in accordance with the provisions OF
the last mentioned act, each Senatorial dis
trict is entitled to representation OF three
delegates in said constitutional convention,
two of whom only can be members of the
majority party in said district The electors
of each district are therefore requested to
make proper nominations for delegates to
said convention, the rules governing the
nomination Of cadidates for State Senator
to be applicable.
In this connection the chairman desires
to call the attention of the Republican vot-
ers to the accommodation of the State
convention of 1882, that 'they allow the
greatest freedom in the general participa-
tion in the primaries consistent with the
preservation of the party organization"

TOMORROW q week this nation will cele
brate its one hundred and fifteenth Fourth
of-July. The 4th of July, 1776, was the
first, and the people then rejoiced because
the convention of delegates assembled in
what we now call Independence Half' in
Philadelphia, had agreed upon resolutions
declaring them free and independent OF
England, and severing the political rela-
tions of the thirteen colonies with that
country, and that Declaration of indie
pendence" was promulgated on the 4th oil
July, l776. Since that day this Nation
has outstripped that of Great Britain in
wealth, population and power, and the old
significance of the day is lost to US, but it
is yet good day for all Americans to
quicken their appreciation of their political
responsibilities, and it would be par
ticularly good day for the Republicans of
Pennsylvania to resolve to rid themselves
of the rottehest system of party politics in
vogue in any of the States-a system that
puts and keeps such fellows as j. D..
Cameron and NJ. S. Quay in the United
States Senate, enables them and their
agents to control the party nominations
and appointments in almost every city and
county in the State, and makes farce of
popular government.

SIX AMERICAN vessels and three British
cruisers are to patrol Bering Sea during
the sealing season. This usually begins
near the end of June, and as there are
fifty or sixty vessels to be sought out and
warned against poaching. the activity of
the authorities is timely. The rest that
will be enjoyed by the Probilof rookeries
should greatly enhance their value, so that
no permanent harm is likely to enSue to
any legitimate sealing interest.

wandered about the country for sixteen

The old man was congratulated by
crowds of friends. Immediately after his
discharge he went to the jail, where he
collected his goods, and left for his noun

favor by some and is loudly condemned by
others. The jury was composed largely OF
old men, who it is claimed, leaned more
strongly to the side of mercy for the aged
accused than they would have done at the
time the crime was committed 10 years ago.

Bullets Mix With Love.

Because she refused to elope with him,
William Myers attempted to kill Mrs
Barbara Harding, and then sent bullet
into his own brain. The tragedy occurred
at McKeesport, where the families lived in
neighboring houses. The husbands had
for years been intimate friends. Both
were Germans, both % years of age, and
each had a wife and a little family
Neither Harding nor his wife had any idea
that Myers had for months been violently
in love with Mrs. Harding.
Myers escorted Mrs Harding to picnic,
last Saturday, and told her he had agreed
to sell his house on Monday, and with the
money he and she could run away to
Europe. Mrs. Harding Indignantly said to
him, mo" That did not settle it, how
ever. Myers went home with the Hard
ings late in the evening and went into
their house. While Harding went to coop
the chickens Myers again laid siege to Mrs.
Hardings heart.
He blandly remarked as he drew re-
volver, that if she wouldn't love him he
could end both their lives right there
Then in German he demanded: Will you
love me; answer, yes or no."
The woman's mo" came quickly and
like flash Myers fired three times straight
at her. One ball entered her side and two
her breast The fourth Myers sent into
his own head and fell corpse. Harding
came in time to hear his wife say "Myers
did it." and she swooned away. She
recovered next day sufficiently to tell the
story of Myers insane love. The doctors
say she is not fatally injured
