the state have not been in better condi-
tion for many years, and under the re-
cent legislation passed through the
efforts of the leaders of the Republican
state organization interest is paid to
the state upon every penny of state
funds deposited in the banks. The ad-
vent of Col Barnett into the Office OF
state treasurer will ensure a continu-
ance of the careful business admins
tration of that Office and will be guar
antee that the interests of the people
will be safely guarded.
AS TO STATE TREASURERS.
OF the IA state treasurers elected by
the people under tle constitution of
1874 eleven have come from the west
ern part of the state. Previous to that
time the state treasurers were elected
by the legislature, and the holders of
the place were pretty evenly divided as
to location. OF the IA elected, the west
ern state treasurer were: Robert w.
Mackey of Pittsburg, Henry Rawle of
Erie, Amos c. NoyeS of Clinton. the
only Democrat that ever was elected
to the place; Silas M. Baily Of Fayette,
who went out of Office poor man, be-
cause of the failure of banks where
state funds were deposited, the loss Of
which he and his bondsmen made up;
William Livesey of Pittsburg, who not
only served his own term, but parts Of
two others; NJ. s. Quay of Beaver, who
resigned In Office to go into the United
States senate: John w. Morrison Of
ALCHEMY. who is now deputy commits
IL To
of Armstrong, BENJAMIN Haywood of
Mercer and James S. Beacon Of West
moreland. The eastern state treasur-
ers elected by the people were Samuel
Butler of Chester, William B. Hart of
Dauphin, who died in office, and Henry
X. boyer of Philadelphia, who is new
superintendent of the mint in that city.
Despite the misrepresentation of the
opponents of the Republican rarty, II
is a noteworthy fact that the state has
never lost dollar through the admin
istration of the Office of state treasurer
under any Republican official. 1t is true
that banks have failed and the bonds
men of treasurers have had to make
good deficiencies, but that was the mis-
fortune of the bondsmen and not a
matter of concern for the taxpayers of
the state.
GENERAL BAILY PASSES AWAY.
Gen. Silas M. Baily, a former state
treasurer, died at his home at Union
town, Pa, on Saturday last. Gen.
Baily was one of the famous BOG who
stood by Gen. Grant in the convention
of 1880. His death resulted from
general collapse, superinduced by the
effects of a bullet wound received dur
ing the civil war.
General Baily was born in Browns
vile in 1886. He learned the jewelry
trade and engaged in business in
/ Waynesburg, but sold out to go to the
war. He afterward opened a jewelry
| store in Uniontown, which he con-
| Quoted until few months ago.
When the war broke out he organ
lied the first company in Greene coun-
ty, which became a part of the Eighth
Reserves, and Captain Baily became
major. At Fredericksburg Major Baily
| led the regiment with great gallantry
in the absence of both the colonel and
lieutenat colonel. He was afterward
breveted major general of volunteers.
| At Gaines Mill he received dangerous
wound in the head. After recovering
from this injury he Joined his regiment
in Maryland and fought at Antietam
and all subsequent engagements, end
ing at Appomattox. Gen. Baily was an
active Republican. and was elected
state treasurer in 1889, despite the in
dependent candidacy Of Charles s.
Wolfe.
MONEY FROM LIQUOR LICENSES.
An incident of the past week called
attention to another matter in which
the Republican organization fig
ures to advantage. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the Brooks high license law,
under which the liquor traffic in this
commonwealth is governed, is regard
ed as one of the most satisfactory laws
ever placed upon the statute books.
