/ hopes OF the veterans Oh tno AUTH DistFfCS
The veterans of the 10th Pennsylv
District are making gallant fight to SEND
one of their number to represent them il
Congress. The Republican nominee is Col
| JAS A. Stable who made an excellent record
during the war as Colonel of the
S7th Pa, splendid regiment raised at York
and which belonged to the Sixth Corps, which
is praise enough for it. Comrade Stable is
very popular in his home, York County
where he follows farming, and is active and
progressive in everything relating to the in
terests of the people, He is regarded as
the best man who has ever been offered to
the people of his district as their Repre-
| sentative. There is no doubt that his per-
sonal strength will poll him a large vote
outside of his party lines, aud it is hoped that
he will receive the solid veteran vote of the
Counties of Adams, Cumberland and York,
| which compose the District. lie should
| receive the support of every soldier and
| friend of the soldiers, for, whatever his OPP
| ponent may say or do he will be reckoned
among the enemies of the veterans, and add
| to their strength. Tt district is strongly
Democratic. In 1892 the Democratic candi-
date received 7,109 plurality over his Repub-
lican competitor, but in 1893 the Democratic
plurality was only 1872, and this gives the
comrades hope that they can carry Col.
Stable through A York County comrade
writes us:
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The old
soldiers of the 10Th Congressional District
of Pennsylvania now have the opportunity
to elect one of their own comrades, and
thereby have a friend who will look out for
their in crest at Washington.
Col. James A. Stable, of the S7th Pa,
has been nominated by the Republicans and
| Endorsed by the better element in the Dem
| Ocratic party, who are opposed to Pete Stru-
binger, the Democratic boss of Adams
County, and the ring candidate.
Strubinger claims that the Democrats
had nothing to do with putting down the
rebellion so to hell with the soldier"
Col. Stables nomination case of
the Office seeking the man," inasmuch as
he did not seek the nomination, but the
people or the old soldiers drafted him into
their service.
COL Stable is a man of undoubted ineg-
rity, of high moral character, of good judg-
ment and business experience; understands
the vast interests of his district, and is in
every way well qualified to Gil the position
10 which the people intend to elect him.
He is a farmer by profession, a son OF toll,
munity. He is in demand as a speaker at
all the farmers institutes in the district,
because he is known as practical farmer,
and one well posted up to date on all sub
jects pertaining to their interests.
AS veteran of the late war, he was en-
gagged in many battle, when his bravery
and patriotism were shown.
The old soldiers in the district should
turn out on the 9th of November and by
their votes for Col. Stable defend Pennsyl-
vana from the raid of the ex-ConfedeIates,
who, under the leadership Of Wilson of
West Virginia are advancing on the indus
tries, the farmers, the homes, of the grand
old State
The Old patriot should be sent to Congress,
where he can continue the defense of Penn
sylvania against the attacks of those same
fellows who now, since they aye in power,
want to enforce the same old ante-bellum
" free trade aud State rights doctrine that
caused the war.
The old soldiers should not allow them
selves TO be fooled by the tricks Of their old
enemies, who are assisting in the canvass
of Boss Strubinger.
