The Republican party of Montour

al tinr hou ha
of industry and given prosperity and
happiness to the people. We commend
the course of President Mckinley in his
humane and honest execution of the
laws and bind ourselves to the support
of the policy, which has given the ma
ton expansion of commerce, a higher
civilization and general prosperity. We
| heartily endorse the manly, honest
course of James G. Foster, las Representa-
tive in the last Legislature, and recon-.
mend him to the voters of Montour
| county for reelection. Further as the
representatives of the party we pledge
ourselves to the support of the candi-
dates nominated. The resolutions were
adopted
The most intense interest shown in
many years was noticed at the Republi-
can Primaries held on Friday evening
last throughout the County and
in every precinct the vote cast was lar
ger than for many years past at Primary
| elections which speaks well for the sue
! cess of the party in Montour the coming
/ fall election.
Saturday mornings Convention was
| harmonious and there was very large
attendance. Many of the most promi-
nent Republicans of the county were
! there either as delegates or spectators
and the greatest enthusiasm was shown
! in the proceedings.
| In nominating James G. Foster as the
candidate of the party for Assembly, the
convention made no mistake. He is
highly regarded by the entire communi-
| ty and as representative of Montour
! in the Legislature, he is able and well
! qualified for any duty that may be re-
/ quired of him. He will fill the office to
the entire satisfaction of the people.
/ As stated in the AMERICAN several
weeks ago the Republicans of Montour
could make no better selection of a good
party worker for their candidate for
Sheriff than David Ruckel He has lab
ored faithfully for the success of the par
ty and as County Chairman he has made
most excellent official. AS an evidence
of Mr. Ruckel's worth the Convention
unanimously nominated him for Sheriff
last Saturday morning and we predict
his election by large majority.
The Republican Convention honored
very worthy gentleman when it nomi-
mated Robert Adams for Associate Judge.
1t was a deserved nomination. Mr.,
Adams has always worked for the sue
cess of the party in Montour and he
should receive the support of the peo-
Pile His intelligence and ability will
enable him to perform the duties of the
office of Associate Judge without fear or
favor.
John q. Brown for Register and Re-
corder and ]. f. Patterson for Jury Com
missioner are men of the highest probity.
They are in every way worthy of the
support of all citizens.
TO succeed Mr.. Ruckel as County
