REPUBLICAN STATE CONTENTION A Ticket. The Republican State Convention! which convened in Harrisburg on the 19th did some very good work. Thev nominated Gen. David McM. Grecg ot Berks county for Auditor General and Captain John Morrison of Allegheny for State Treas urer.

Th's ticket made up ol old and world renown soldiers is conceded by both parties to be very strong. The ticket was made by the delegates and was not interfered with by the "bosses" as a few of our democratic exchanges quote it. I- MJ mm OENERAL DAVIL MCM. GREGO, Nominee for Auditor General. Lieut.

Governor Watres of Scranton was elected Republican State Chairman to succeed Andrews, resigned. The report of the committee on resolutions gave our present administration a very flattering send oft, also Post Master General John Wanamaker. This is what they indorsed: "II heartily indorses the broad and Statesmanlike administration of President Harrison, which has exhibited an intelligent, inflexible purpose to execute the Federal laws, maintain the dignity of American institutions and insure the continuance and growth of prosperity and peace in the nation." "In view with peculiar satisfaction the direction of the affairs of the Post Office Department by one of our own citizens, the lion. John Wanamaker, whose clean businesslike and comprehensive administration of its affairs lias advanced the postal operations of the nation to a plane never previously attained." This is what the committee had to say ot our Secretary of State department James G. Blaine "It has been with special gratification that the Republicans of this Commonwealth have observed the brilliant administration of the State Department by one of Pennsylvania's native sons, whose superb diplomacy has electrified the hearts of all Americans, exacted from foreign people a decree of respect and admiration for the United States t-'ag hitherto unequaled and opened wide to us in other lands commercial gates heretofore barred.

These magnificent achievements justify the confidence and furnish new occasion for us now to reafllrin the 7 and devotion of the Republicans of Pennsylvania to her most distinguished son, the Hon. James G- Blaine." It wns expected that the com. wruld indorse Mr. Blaine for the Presidency in 1392 but after giving it much thought they arrived at the conclusion that it would do him more harm than good, however, this was not the conclusion of many of the delegates in the convention. tl Rl ji jib JOnN.

W. MORRISON Nominated for State The work of Gov. Pattison is what the Com. has to say about it: "We denounce the unscrupulous partisanship of Governor Pattison in violating all the apportionment hills passed, in compliance with con stiUitional direction, by the late 1 Republican Legislature, and in negativing other lesji-lation, part icujlarlj the compulsory educational il'! bavin? in view material unci moral interests of the people of MeKinley of course was not forgotten. He lias done too much for the people to he Overlooked 'I he will no doubt indorse I the bill at their convention on the of September.

'1 liis jis what Republican Committee had to say of congress and the material interests oftlie bill: "We cordially indorse the action of the Republican Congress in passing the MeKinley bill, in conformity wit the national pledge to protect the material interests of American labor. This beneficent measure has in spite of malignant Pemocatie ah use and misrepresentation already brought about and will in the In ture continue to bring about a broader and more settled prosperity to all classes, particularly to the operative, the mechanic, the miner and the farmer." We have briefly given the doings of the convention and trust that its I work will meet with the approval ol leach and every Republican of Sulli- I van county. Let us all turn out and do what we can for the success the nominees. Hurrah, for Gre(hi and Morrison. co.

A "Jack Horner Pie" graced the centre of the table, and the surprised and pleased faces of the little ones as they marched around it, singing the i dd Mother Goose melody and lulling out their plums was a sight long to be remembered by the older guests of the house.
