which met at Harrisburg last Thurs
day did its work promptly, orderly
and harmoniously, nominating q
ticket whose personel could net be
excelled if the State we're raked with
fine tooth comb. This does not
mean that it is the uuanimous choice
of the party which it represents, for
that could not be-never has been
but it does mean that better, cleaner
or more able men are not TO be found
in the State. We of the northwest
would gladly have seen our neighbor,
Charles w. Stone make the nomina.
tiou, but that does not hinder cheer
ful and cordial endorsement of Col,
w. A, Stone of Allegheny, who was
the successful candidate, and who,
like his principal competitor, Charles
w. Stone, made an honorable, open
and fair contest for the domination,
Col, Stone has very many warm per-
sonal friends and admirers in Forest
county, where he has en- different oc'
casions spoken for the cause of Re.
publicanism and its candidates, and
the party in this county will to man
give him loyal support in the fall.
