In Reference to Registration.

We wish to call attention to the fact
that September is the very last day lor
registration and assessment IN order 10 De
qualified to vote at the November election.
The act Of 1891, section 3, says: After
the assessments have been completed on
the siEty .frst day before the Taes-
day next following the first Monday OF
November in each year the assessor shall
maze a return" etc, thereby plainly max
ing September the last day Tor reslrlra-
tion and assessment.
The duty o. the assessor of each district
is to be at The polling place OF his respec-
tive district ior the purpose of registering
al d assessing voters on Wednesday and
Thursday. September t and ,, from lO A.
VI. to p. NJ. and from TO 9 P. NJ. Of each
said days.
Ifyou are not certain that you are regis
tered, examine the registry book hanging
on the door OF your polling place and II
your name is not on the book notify your
assessor of the fact on or before Septemo Der
and see to it that you are assessed IS Wen
as registered, since many votes are lost
evely year because although registered
! properly the voter failed 10 be assessed. 1t
| is possible to supply the omission to regis
ter but nothing can cure the failure To De

The member Of the County Committee

vote is lost through neglect to register and

proves himself to his party and No one

nay cause was horribly demonstrated in the
hotel catastrophe at Denver. Prom twenty
to twenty five lives were lost, many of
them burned to death in horrible agony,
and hundred thousand dollars worth OF
property was destroyed by the blowing up
Of boiler in charge of a drunken boy of
seventeen. 1t was only retributive justice
that the men who employed him, and sup

am desirous of correcting a statement
which appeared in the Gomersol items Of
last week The Gomersol correspondent
says that ground hogs havn't been so
plenty for years. Hugh Stevenson and
Rev. j. j. Wolford went on a "hOg" ex-
pedtion not long since, but we believe
they didn't have much success as they had
no salt along" Hogs are not 80 plentiful
in this precinct as to excite attention,
through the medium Of a periodical.
Seeondly-that Hugh Stevenson and Rev
J. j. WolfoId went on "hog" expedition
ia untrue as the event never transpired,
other than in onr worthy friends mind.
-Thirdly-It seems that our friend. the
GOmersol correspondent Is accustomed tp
professional society but there is no excuse
Tor lavish bestowal Of such high titles
when speaking Of me as | am not minis
ter and do not profess to any professional
just an ordinary civilian and
my fancy does not induce me 70 relish a
title 80 high as reverend, not that the
title is not virginia. enough for me but
that rnore regard should be attributed TO

The text of the money plank as amend
al ia az followg.


ed is as follows:
We accept unressrvedly the determine
ton enunciated by the Republican nation
al convention Of 1892; that we demand the
use of both gold and silver for money,
with such restrictions and under such pro-
visions, to be determined by Legislation,
as will secure the maintenance OF the
parity of the value Of the two metals SO
that the purchasing and debt-ps ing pow
er of the dollar, whether of gold, silver OF
paper, shall at all times be equal.
Faithful to the Republican party ana
believing it to be the settled doctrine "l
the party that the honor of the nation
and the interests Of its citizens require the
maintenance of national currency, every
dollar of which, whether of gold, silver OF
notes, shall be of staple value and o.
equal purchasing power, this convention
hereby declares its opposition to the deoase-
ment of the national currency by the ad,
mission of silver to free and unlimited
coinage at the arbitrary ratio OF 10 to !
The other plsnks favor protection, crlti-
cize the opposition, favor

rnittee repaired to the lower part OF the
house where the convention was assem-
bled and made its report.
Chairman Graham announced that a
renort had been adopted by large ma
;oritv AGAINST a protest of the minority,
which explanation, as he told Senator
Penrose, who thought explanation un-
necessary, he made TO save the delay ana
annoyance of minority report,
Congressman Dalzell added that the
gallery was not place wherein it was
POSSIBLE to properly consider platform
because of the noises below, and the
crauDed condition. Ritter, OF Phlladel-
mia was still of the opinion that the
money plank should be toned up, and he
offered again on the floor OF the conven-
ton the Union League money plank,
supporting it with a brief speech, In
which he expressed his opinion that the
Republican party should not hesitate TO
espouse the cause of honest money.
Congressman Dalzell, of Allegheny, al
so chatnpioned the sound money plank.
He said he believed in money good al
mar everywhere and that the sentiment IN
sunrort of the Is to I doctrine IN the
state if counted up, would be found so
small as TO amount to practically noth-
ino His opinion was that the RepuDll-
cans of PENNSYLVANIA should declare
AGAINST free silver on any terms, we
cannot afford to permit our loyalty to any
mar. E" he said Ito compromise US Win
our consciences.
Mr.. Dalzell asserted that in this plank
which declares for a parity Of the two
metals, thousands OF Republicans ives! OF
the Mississippi river find what they be.
Iieve to be argument that the Nauonai
platform is silver platform. he sdlg
the Republican party should take a sIal1
AGAINST coinage at any ratio except suchl
as should be fixed by an international
aoreefnent. The honor of Pennsylvania
he aro1,ed was at stake, and the State
could not afford to have the announce
