THERE is u certain dearth just now
In political issues that is very embsr-
RAISING to the platform makers. The
two main parties are so near together
on many things tina. the fellow who
strives to state the points of difference
often has to cough to fill up the spaces
in his flow OF wisdom. But one man
has platform that is always spplics-
BILE, one that never grows old or worn
out, one that is always ideal, and con-
sequently can never he reached by q
progressive and growing party. But
alas, IL is also doomed to be unpopular
for ages to come. The platform is
that OF DR.. Swallow, the prohibition
or good government candidate for
governor of Pennsylvania. IL is short
and to the point. 1t SAYS, Thou shalt
not steal"

Ihsss Is probably no question that the
ticket for State o.icers nominated by the
Republican convention yesterday will
receive O substantial endorsement at tho
polls on the 9th OF April next
IL is practically the same ticket that
was put mp last year, and IL is opposed by
precisely the same ticket that the Demo-
Gratis had in the field then.
Laast yer Governor Dyer was elected by
10,634 plurality, the balance of the ticket
getting equally large votes of confidence.
There is no reason to suppose that the
administration will fail of endorsement
by . tremendous plurality In April next,
and IL it gets all it deserves last year :
figures viii be increased. For, without
any disparagement TO many excellent
predecessors, il is to be recognized that
never has an administration won high
er regard than that which Governor Dyer
now heads.
In many respects the ticket may be
said to possess str ong elements of popu-
larity qnite apart from It's purely politi-
cal claims. 1he Governor himself is a
mighty popular man personally, socially,
and as public official Senator Read,
the nominee for general treasurer, and
Senator Gregory, the nom ines for lieu
terant governor, are nown, respected,
trusted and well-liked throughout the
State, the acquaintances they have made
in public life teing drawn to them as
friends. II Is q ticket of distinction
throughout while the fact that the can
didatss are 30 widely known gives 1t the
added strength that comes from personal
acquaintance and public familiarity with
the record of their public ssrvics already
long and eminent.
Indeed, to Introduce or tn recommend
the gentlemen nominated and rcnomin-
nted by yesterdays convention would
DO little e'ss than task of
supererogntion. Rarely are candidates
for the suffrages Of thtir fellow citizens
so fortunate ms thtse in having the hearty
support of large majority of them so
we'll meritsd and assured promptly upon
their acceptance of the nominations with
which they are honored.

CUADRUPLETS AND TWINS.

This Is not the first time that unfsir
influence has lean exercised upon the
postoiiice department. Shortly before the
Harrison administration came into power
the wife Of IL. 4. Page, postmaster Of
he'd Water Tex, made him present OF
four bouncing boys at clip and he
named them Harrison, Morton, Waua-
maker and ClaTkson, So when the Re-
pubiiosns down there began to demand
his removal he forwarnd a photograph OF
the interesting group with their names
attached as . reason why he should not
be disturbed. This argument was more
elective than all the petitions that wers
filsd and all the influence OF the political
bosses. Ihe ofiic, pays only S2i2 "a year,
but the father of the quadrpulets was
anxious to retain it, and shortly after Mr..
Cleveland was elected for the second
time Mrs. Page furnished additional rea-
sons for his retention In the form of
twins, who were named Grover and Ad.
lai, in honor of the Democratic admin.
istration. That wss an unanswerable
claim upon the office, and Mr.. Page con-
tinued to handle the mails at lied Water
for another four years. When Mckinley
was inaugurated the officials of the post
office department expected u hear OF
triplets atllesst, but the quadrennial sp-
plication OF Mr.. Page for reappointment
was accompanied by mournful epistle
announcing tho death Of one of the four
baby boys, but he had the three survivors
ised MIR. Bristow, the new fourth assistant
postms ster- general, that If ne ever had
another baby IL would be named after
him. This settled the controversy over
the Rel Water postoirce, and Mr.. Page
was given another commission for four
