Capt. Hays for State Treasurer

On Tuesday we received telegram
from Harrisburg from L. G. Lambert a
member of theg Legislature from Som
erseet Co. stating that "the friends OF
Thomas HAYS have announced his name
for State Treasurer.
This we suppose is an outcome Oh tine
difficulties in the Appropriations Com
mittee, of which Capt. Hays was mem
Der, and Mr.. Plummer of Blair Co..
Chairman. The committee sat down
hard on Plummer for alleged unfairness
and as he had announced his candidacy
for state Treasurer at the beginning OF
the season, they told him they would
not support him.
We see no reason why Capt. Hays
could not fill the Office as well as any
man the Bosses" have ever selected.
