Senator Daniel is very uneasy
about the passage of the tariff bill.
The true Democrats, in his opinion,
are doing all in their power to ex-
pedite results, but fears that they
will not be able to overcome the Oh
stacles thrown in the way by Senator
Hill and few others like him. The
following extract from letter to a
friend in Norfolk, in answer to an
appeal urging the passage or throw
ing aside Of the tariff bill, shows that
he does not believe that the prospect
for success very fattering:
1.-The reason why the Democrats do
not Immediately pass the tariff bill is
simply because they cannot. The
Republicans have the right of debate,
as old as the government, and they
are exercising it. They have the
privilege of offering amendments,
which they will also exercise, and il
is as impossible to get $780, pill

been relying upon himself since he

cardinal virtues of manhood as pa

sobriety and the exercise of good
common sense. His election to the

Prof. Chas. w. Herman

Charles Wilson Herman, the Re
publican candidate for Assembly,
was BON IN Penn Twp, Snyder Co,
Pa, in the year 1856. His native
ancestry, having lived in the vicinity
Of his birth upwards of one hun
dred years. is among the oldest in
the county, and embraces many and
yell-known pioneer families, who
have done their share in developing
cur country by clearing away the
forests and transforming n wilder
!sess int o II habitable and productive
land. He is the offspring of n hum
le though honest parentage, which,
while not particularly conspicuous
,Ip account of rare qualities, or of
GDing lofty deeds, is nevertheless
hiltless of broken words or promis-
K uncancelled obligations. or sharp
tricks and practices; a parentage
that has always been frank and ever
ready to reciprocate favor and bear
its burdens of life and society. His
father having been a farmer, Charles
WAS, of course. brought up as farm
er's boy, and necessarily engaged in
all kinds of work incident to this
noble occupation. At the age of
seventeen years he engaged in teach
ing, which vocation he followed in
alienation with that Of working on
the farm-namely, teaching in win
ter and working on the farm in sum
mer- during the next seven years of
his life. The first three years We're
thus spent in his native county, and
the remaining four in Ohio and Kan
sas. His early education was OBJ
tanned in the common schools and
teachers normal courses. Thirsting
for greater scholastic attainments
after he had completed his seventh
term OF teaching, he entered the
sophomore class of Missionary In-
stitute, Selinsgrove, Pa, the fall
term of 80. After an attendance of
three years he was graduated from
this institution with distinction. In
the fall of 'S3, in order to complete
full classical course of educa-
tion. he entered the junior class of
Bucknell University, Lewisburg,
Pa, and in due course of time
in 's5-was graduated with
the degree of A. b. While in this
institution he secured several prizes
in oratorical contests. With his
education completed he began a
second period of teaching at Potts
grove, Pa, in 's5; the next year he
taught at Adamsburg, Pa, In May
'S7 he was elected Supt. of the public
schools of Snyder Co., Pa, ana in
20, upon the expiration of his first
term, he was reelected to the same
Office. Mr.. Herman comes from a
good republican family, his father
and grandfather having warmly es-
poused the principles Of his adopted
party before him. He yields to no
one in his allegiance to the Repub-
lican party. whose principles and
he belives, when put into
practice in the administration Of our
will bring the most
good to the greatest number. Mr.
also. looks upon public
office as public trust and it will be
the height OF his ambition to carry out
the viii and wishes of his constit-
uents-- to serve the whole people
and their interests. 1t will be APP
here to refer to the report
which was put into circulation pre-
ceding his nomination, that he. as a
legislator, would favor an extension
