STATE Press Upon
Conventions Work


In the nomination of Colonel William A.
Stone, of Allegheny the Republican party
of Pennsylvania has spoken after a can
Nass as free ana open as was ever held
in this state. ON his own merit the gall
liant Pennsylvania has made his wins
ming fight, and on the first ballot re-
cclved large majority of the members
of the convention. The nomination is
an excellent one. No blot marks Colonel
stones record. In the darks days of the
civil war he shouldCred his musket and
fought valianty for his country. Coming
home he betOok himself to the law and
has been honored by his people fire.
quontly. lie has made a splendid record
in congress and is known as the cham
pion of American labor, not only for
protective tariff, but has led in the fight
against the hordes of pauper labor that
come TO deprive the American workman
of his just wages. The convention has
spoken and the Republican party will in
dorse that nomination at the polls this
fall. OF that there is no doubt.

From the Wilkes-Barre Record
We believe that William A. Stone is
far better man than the political disre-
putabes who by trckery and scheming
have forced his nomination upon the
party. Because the Record in all SINGER
ity believes this, 1t will support him in
this campaign.

1t is unfortunate that candidate could
not have been selected agreeable TO all
factions, but it Is to he hoped that the
fight having been made before the con-
vention things will settle down and the
usual Republican majority be maintained.
4 repetition OF a Democratic state admin
istration is not at all to be desired.

From the Pottsvile Miners Journal.

Both in platform and candidates the
state convention sized up to the full re-
quirements of the demands of the Re
publican party of the state. a platform
breathing more patriotic devotion to the
principles of the party. or candidates
more eminently deserving the approval
of each and every true Republican,
could not have been framed or selected.
Both will stand the closest scrutiny with
out reveling flaw in their composition.

Through the courtesy of Richard p.
Rothwell we present on another page
this morning a table of statistics show
ing the mineral and metal production
of the United States for 1897 These
statistics were collected by Mr.. Roth
well at great expense for the sixth an
nual volume of The Mineral Indus
try" a publication which ranks among
the first of its class, and they are
worthy of careful study. Speaking
roughly, this countrys mineral pro-
duction Is worth three quarters Of
billion dollars, or $40 per capita, and is
almost equal TO that Of all Europe
Add TO our mineral wealth our enor-
nous agricultural resources and our
skill in converting raw material into
finished products, and the sum of our
supremacy among the nations is suf-
ficient to allay any apprehension that
a coalition can ever be formed among
hostile powers capable of crushing us.

No intelligent and dspassionate Rcpub-

Colonel Stone must be made by the force

see that it meant a colossal revoluti IN
