Republicans or Pennsylvania Have Il
National Duty to Perform
This Y ear.


"The candidates on the state ticket"
says Colonel A. Nevin Pomeroy, OF
the Franklin Repository, represent
the Republican party of Pennsylvania.
and no Republican who has given the
matter serious thought will think of
voting against that party this year.
Even if the candidates were not what
they are it should be remembered that
they represent party that has brought
so much prosperity to us, and one
which has exceedingly grave issues TO
dispose Of The peopN have placed
the disposition of these m<tters in the
hands of the Republican party, and
they owe it to that party to uphold its
hands until the affairs of so much i'm
portance are finally adjusted
"If ever in the history of the country
it was necessary for the Republican
party to roll up big majority it is
this year No one denies that Presiv
dent Mckinley should be elected next
year. His record of the past three
years entities him to a reelection; the
future prosperity of the country de-
mands it, reduction in the Repub-
lican vote this year simply gives en-
couragement to the opposition for the
battle of 1900. The Republican vote
in Pennsylvania this fall should be
larger than it has ever been in tho
