y Just 5.96S mon are entitled to vote at
the next election, by virtue OF having
Paid their capitation taxes. In addition
to this, there are about 400 veterans, who
are not required to pay their taxes to
vote. OF this total number, there arc
probably 800 Republicans who may not
vote in tho primary on Tuesday, and the
drcd of the voters may not go to the
polls, and there are always a number
OF sick persons to be calculated upon.
AT the last election, Mayor Taylor got
about G,O00 votes, about the number OF
those oil TIN, present registration Cap
tain Mccarthy got about 5000 votes,
about half the number of the present
electorate.
II Mayor Taylor gets tho same vote he
did last time. Captain Mccarthy won't
get corporal's guard. If Captain Nc
carthy gets the snme vote, Mayor TAYLOR
will not have enough to elect him.

SALVE FOR ELK|NS
Will be Made Supreme
Court Judge.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 6.-The Re-
publican state convention which will
convene in the opera house here at
10 o'clock tomorrow will nominate for
Judge of the supreme court Hon. John
p. Elkin, who was the leading candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination
two years ago and who was defeated
for the nomination by Governor Pen
nypacker at that time. This action
was decided on at caucus of the
leaders this evening at which the Phil
adelphia delegation reported that Gov
ernor Pennypacker had positively de-
clined to permit his name to go be-
fore the convention. The governor
was the first choice of a majority OF
the delegates and would have been
nominated if he had consented to the
use Of his name.
The state executive committee met
this evening and made up the roll of
delegates. There are no contests and
the convention will be of the most
formal character and will likely be in
session but very short time.

II Is reported that the attorney gen
eral OF the state has given an opinion
privately, and will do so publicly at
an early date, to the effect that the
terms of justices of the peace will not
be extended by reason of the abolish
ment OF the spring elections. That the
legislature has not the power to extend
the terms OF the justice of the peace
for the reason that the term of Office
for such officials has been fixed by
the constitution Of the state.
II this proves to be the case, the
township trustees or auditor, who ever

The mismanagement at the county

has frequently called attention TO, was
never more clearly demonstrated than
by the purchase of the eighteen gal
Ions Of maple syrup day or two ago,
for which $l.25 gallon was paid,
which was 25 per cent more than the
market price. There is not a school
