FoCHT SURE WINNER.
The candidacy of Charles Miller, OF
Penn township, Snyder county, for
state senator cannot bring about the
defeat of Benjamin X. Focht, of Union
county, for the Republican nomination
in that district. County Chairman Il.
w. Tool says he will not allow Miller
TO register in Snyder, as the time limit
expired on February 10, so Focht will
be the only candidate on the ticket for
the primaries here. Focht will secure
the conferees in both Snyder and
Union, and having six Of the nine, 1t
will not matter much to him II some
one else captures the confereeS In
Northumberland.
At the Republican primary elections
in Chester county last Saturday, the
stalwarts won a sweeping victory.
They practically carried the county
without opposition. Horace A. Beall,
Jr., of Parkesburg, was elected delegate
to the national convention, and Joseph
J. Morris. of Uwchlan, alternate. The
state delegates chosen are as follows:
Northern district, Aaron Lord. Of
North Coventry, and Jesse Hall, Of
Phoenixville: Southern, Ellis Kirk, of
Oxford, and William T. Dance, OF
franklin; Eastern, William Chalfont.
Jr., of West Chester; Western, DR..
Thomas Richmond, of East Brandy
wine, and Elias Bair, Of Salisbury. The
state delegates will support Senator
Hardenbergh for auditor general, and
present Auditor General McCauley'5
name to the convention for one Of the
6elegates-at-large to the national con-
vention. For congressmen-at-large
they will support the men desired by
Colonel Quay.
PLACE FOR JACK" ROBINSON.
For the first time since he entered
congress, Congressman Butler will not
,,k tNo Ioalrp Dnhfncnn m l.
tend with in his approaching fight for
a third term, and heavy weight,
therefore. has been lifted off his mind.
With the Delaware Countian satisfac-
torily disposed of, Mr.. Buffers return
tc congress has been made practically
safe, unless complications should arise
| in Chester county, which is not proba-
hle. This condition of affairs has been
brought about by the stalwart leaders
OF the two counties agreeing to secure
for ex-Congressman Robinson thu
pleasant and profitable post of United
States marshal for the Eastern distric
Of Pennsylvania. Colonel Quay ant
Senator Penrose having given theil
inorsement to the scheme, all that re
mains to be done is for President Nc
Kinley to attach his name to the com
mission.
SCHOOL APPROPRIATION PAID.
State Treasurer Beacon has complet
ed the distribution Of the school appro
priation for the current fiscal yea
ending May 81 next. The State fisca
officers estimate the state revenue TO
1900 at $12, ,121, ,44S.50, or about $600,00O
less than the receipts for 1S99
Mr.. Beacon says if business condi
tions continue as good for five year
as they have the past eighteen month
the state will be able, under the pres
ent revenue law, to meet its obligation
but that even the present condition
will not justify any increase of appro
priations. He believes it would be
mistake to change the present system
OF state taxation in Pennsylvania.
The large increase in state revenue
the past year over the previous twelv
months has enabled the state treasure
to settle promptly all the claim
against the commonwealth.
