Republican State Convention.

The republicans were ut Harris
burg last week ana all their friends
We're there. A more harmonious
'&eeting We ger held. There
all withdrew before the final contest
except the successful candidates
and John b. Robinson. While Wal
ter Lyon was nominated for Lieut..
Governor, the people of Snyder
county need not feel any regret that
tney endorsed John b. Robinson.
Fighting Jack, as he is called, well
deserves the name. He fought Wig
orously and honestly, and as soon
as the election was over he shook
hands with his opponent and told
the vast multitude seated in the
Opera House Mt Harrisburg that he
and his friends would support the
ticket nominated. We can not re-
frain from adding II tribute to the
nobility and peerage manifested by
Jacks ready submission to the
will of the convention. His manli-
ness will bring him something more
important in the future. And now
with the same submissiveness, the
people of Snyder county will yield
to the will of the majority and will
roll up II larger vote than ever be
fore.
That Mr.. Robinson was not elected
is no fault of our delegate III. G.
Sampsell, because he voted twice for
Jack on the same ballot. We do not
desire our readers to think that the
Snyder County delegate stuffed the
ballot box, but the Somerset County
delegate voted, then our delegate
voted. At this juncture, one of the
tellers inquired how the Somerset
County delegate voted. The ques-
tion was answered and Mr.. Sampsell
was recalled and again voted for Jack
Robinson. We do not suppose that
both votes We're counted, but Mr..
Sampsell has the satisfaction of
knowing that he doubly represented
the interests of his constituents.
Last week we gave the sketch OF
Gen. Hastings, candidate for Cover,
nor, this week we give the sketch OF
the candidate for 1t. Governor,
WALTER LYON.
Walter Lyon IS we'll known
throughout Western Pennsylvania
as a lawyer of ability, and n stauncE
adherent to his party. He was born

and 80, and permanent chairman of
the 1890 convention. In 1887 Mr..
Lyon was rendered the office of
Deputy Secretary of the Common
wealth by Governor Beaver, but de-
clined. In June, 1889, he was APP
pointed United States Attorney for
the Western District of Pennsylva-
mia, embracing forty-six of the sixty
seven counties in the State. This
office he resigned last year to take n
scat in the State Senate.
In 1884 Mr.. Lyon was the leader
of the movement in Western Penn
sylvania which resulted in the NOM
nation of Blaine for President by the
Republican party. The movement
which Mr.. Lyon headed attracted at
tention all over the country, and it
so crystallized sentiment i'll favor OF
Mr. Blaine as to make his nomina-
tion possible. Although Mr.. Lyon is
personal friend of Senator Quay.
he has at various times chosen inde-
pendent ground in the Republican
politics of the State. He is thorough
| " imbued with the idea that the Re
publican party is one of progress.
He has filed all public positions to
which he has been chosen with the
most scrupulous integrity and faith
fulness. Early in life, while study
ing for the law, Mr.. Lyon was II pub
lie school teacher. He is of quiet
and scholarly disposition, and spends
most of his leisure hours at modest
home in Allegheny. He is the pos
sesor of fine family, and takes con
siderable pleasure i'll the company OF
his children and books.
We will give our readers brie
sketches of the other candidates
one each week.
The ticket is the strongest tha'
the Republicans of Pennsylvani,
have endorsed for many years. NJ
grievances exist, and the hard times
despair and dependency that ar
prevailing in all parts of the natioi
the result of Democra tic dilly-dal
lying is the strongest argumen
for Republican restoration. n
doubt exists anywhere that the ticl;
ct will easily obtain n majority O
100000.

improved process employed and the
competition provoked has reduced
the price of leather to consumers.
Z. Boots and shoes, beltings,
harness, carriage trimmings, have
been reduced in price one-balf.
s. The number of employees in
all the departments of industry in
which hides and leather constitute
a part are beyond computation.
8. Americans now control the
leather market of the world, in spite
of all competition from all countries
where pauper labor abounds.
10. Reliable statistics show that
since hides were placed OH the free
list there has been an increase in the
industry of 10 per cent. and the tan
ming industry of 126 per cent. and
an increase of wages of Is per cent.
IL. American tanneries are ex-
porting leather of the value of five
or six millions of dollars a year
to Europe, competing successfully
with all other countries. The
annual average for the last four
years of our exports of sole leather
alone has been 37,800,000, rs per
cent Of which was sold in England.
The duty on sole leather by the Nc
Kinley bill is 10 per cent.

In 1857 when wool was placed
on the free list, the prices ranged
from AZ to rs cents per pound.
Then, in 1867, a duty ranging from
so to 60 per cent, was placed upon
it which prevailed until 1883. Dur
ing this period the highest price
was so cents and gradually worked
down until in 'S2 and 'S3 the wool
brought but % cents. In 1883 a
small reduction In the tariff i'm
mediately brought it up, reaching
81 cents a pound in 1867. Take
it right from there-32 cents a
pound-and there is where the Nc
Kinley bill found it. You all know
the result of this bill. Wool has
been brought down to the lowest
point ever known and unless this
infamous bill is done away with
it will go still lower. The wool

At their state convention, t

At their state convention, the
Republicans of Ohio declared in
favor of bi-metalism, with all the
pomp and wisdom imaginable, prob
ably forgetting for the time that it
was the Republican party that de-
monetised silver in 1878. Yet they
now 60 on record with a shout in
favor of free silver. We should not
be astonished to yet hear some of
the leaders of the G. o. p proclaim
ing for state banks and free trade,
as the average leader of that party
seems possessed with the faculty of
being everywhere and nowhere at
at the same time, some Of them
even distancing Billy Mckinley.

materials of our leading industries
may be estimated from the follow

quirer. The Enquirer thus emu
merates the results that have
followed the putting Of hides on

1. The utilization of hemlock
bark of which we have an immense
supply.
2. The price of hemlock land has
doubled in value.
3. Immense tanneries have been
established, requiring large capital.
A. Steady and profitable employ
ment has been given to thousands
of hands in gathering the bark and

than ever before.
