Democrats nominated Hon. Frank
Brown for the position of Governor
was more imaginary than real.

the Republicans to take advantage
of this state of things and place in
the field as the opponent of Mr..
Brown a man who will draw to his
support the independent and dissat-
isfed Democrats and at the same
time hold in line the solid strength
of the Republican party in this
State. Such man is the Hon.
Lloyd Lowndes, of Cumberland.
In him we have the personitication

How discordant are the tin-tin-
nabulations of the Democratic press
in reference to American tin. The
ringing of the chestnut bell is now
in order. They have become so
confused in their fatuous, fight
against the splendid development of
this important American industry
that their eyes are blind to the light
of conviction, and their ears have
lost the power of discrimination as
between the true ring of truth and
the discords of error.

GREGG AND HIS WORTH.
A Valuable Opinion from One Fa-
miliar with the Army.

A Valuable Opinion from One Fa-
miliar with the Army.
In speaking of General Greggs' candi.
dacy for auditor general, Colonel Johr
McElroy, editor of The National Tri-
bune, and one of the best posted men in
journalism on military plans and oper-
ations and the personal services and
brave deeds of officers on the Union
side in the rebellion, while chatting in
Washington the other day said
'"Any one who knows anything about
the services of the higher officers in the
late war must feel gratified at the NOM
ination of General Gregg. The Penn
sylvanians should feel proud of such
candidate, and setting all politics aside
should show their appreciation of his
distinguished services by giving him an
enormous majority.
"Gregg, next to Meade, Hancock and
Reynolds was the greatest soldier Penn
sylvania produced. BY all means he was
greater soldier than Beaver. He was
second only to the first cavalry leader
of the national arms. The first was the
only Sheridan. The people of the
country never had a chance to know of
Gregg at his real worth on account of
his inherent modesty.
! dhC 1CllCI III IL w lA9Olli I'l Y
of whose command captured Jefferson
Davis; he, by some, is thought the most
| dashing cavalry officer next to Sheridan.
But Wilson was doomed considerably
during the last year of the war, and hay-
ing been associated with General Grants
headquarters he had some advantage Of
opportunities.
Il should put Gregg first. He was
the same grade as Wilson, Buford, Kill
patrick, Merritt, Custer, but he was su-
perior to any of them. He commanded
division when they began to mass the
cavalry. and his services were incom-
parable. He fought the great cavalry
fights which preceded Gettysburg, and
history records with pride the services
of his battalions of troopers at that des.
perate crisis of arms in the war for the
| Union.
Gregg was a great soldier and for
the people of Pennsylvania to do any
thing but to handsomely honor him IN
this campaign for civic Office would i'm
peach their gratitude, and 1t might al
most be said their patriotism.

Enssott Strikes a Keynote.

1.-THE Republican party is patty for
young men," says the brainy young
Fassett, of New York. "It is progress
i've. 1t stands up; it always has stood
with its face to the future. The Repub-
lican party stands for free schools, for
free worship, for a free press, a free
ballot and, mark this, 1t stands for these
things not SO much In platforms and
promises as in performances.
THE Republican party never breaks
its promises. The Republican party
has ever been the party of reform, and
has ever been for those things that lift
men onward and upward. The Repub-
hcan party invites the people to feast
of reason founded on honest perform
ances. The Democratic party, like the
Barmecides of the Arabian Nights,
invites the people to feast of broken
pledges and Misrepresentation"

Wright as Known at Home.

"Mr. Wright is leading lawyer and
skilled financier, an able political local
organizer and knows where to put his
hands even on Republican votes when
he needs them," says the Allentown
Chronicle of the Democratic candidate
for auditor general. HE can talk pro-
lection at tariff demonstration and free
trade at Democratic county meeting,
but he will bave hard work to convince
anybody that with the issues before the
people this year and the taultless ticket
the Republicans have in the field he
stands any show of election.
THE Republican convention, too, was
run by the people. 1t was free from
boss rule. Mr.. Harrity's convention
was the worst exhibition of the insincer-
ity of Democratic anti-boss pretensions
we have ever had in this state. 1t is
ridiculous for it to talk reform"

4 Tin to Business Men.

At Logan, one of the principal towns
in the Hooking valley coal regions, where
Major Mckinley spoke few days ago,
says the New York Press, he was
greeted by a delegation of fifty former
Democrats, including anumber of farm
ers, who declared their intention of
voting for him. Among them was Darius
White, a wealthy furniture manufac-
turer, whose family numbers fifteen
voters, all heretofore Democrats, but
now determined to vote for the Republi-
can ticket There are many more busi-
ness men who will follow Mr.. Whites
example, not only in Ohio, but in all
