Republican Party.Supper.


day evening was very pleasant affair
and passed off in quiet, orderly and
social manner. Covers were laid for
sixty y.eight. A Glee Club, composed
of DIR. r. P. Heilman, A. d. Ericsson,
Jay 2. Felt, Fred r. Heilman and Chas.
L. Logan enlivened the occasion with
song from start to finish. The attend
ance from all parts of the county mani
tested an interest In the success of the
Republican nominations and augurs
we'll for the entire ticket. Mr.. L. w.
Gleason, Chairman of the Republican
County Committee, designated Hon.
Josiah Howard, who was the chiefp pro-
moter of the supper, to act as Chair
man of the occasion, when the social
gathering were seated around three
long tables, abundantly supplied
with all the good things Before max
ing an attack upon the tempting menu
the Glee Club sang "America" all pres
ent joiuing in singing the National
Anthem. After devouring the turkey
and other delicacies, interspersed with
several songs, Hon. Josiah Howard
broke the rule to dispense with toasts
and speeches, giving a description of
the work and practice Of the Penn
sylvania Legislature" describing in
very intelligent manner to the evident
satisfaction of all present, who listened
to his remarks with marked attention.
This is the first of the Republican
Party suppers to be given in this county
and we hope the one to be given next
year, if the custom shall be permanent,
will be held at Driftwood. These oc
casions, being strictly of a social order,
cannot fail but result in good.
After listening to and assisting in
singing ''The Star Spangled Banner"
Chairman Gleason distributed a box of
Hon. ]. Lee Plummer buttons, when
every Republican marched from the
banquet hall wearing the standard
bearers button. Even Hon. l. X.
Hockey, guest, editor of the demo
cratic Independent, was profusely dec
Grated on all sides with "For State
Treasurer, Hon. J. Lee Plummer."
We have it from close authority that
Mr.. Hockey never since the days of
husking bees and boiled cider has he
slept so peacefully and innocently-
not even one snore.
The following persons sat at the
tables:
