The Leader- has received from J. S. Dillinger, assistant to Secretary Robert E.

The book is handsomely illustrated with pictures of Pennsylvania exhibits and other scenes of interest at the Fair.

It is an exceedingly vahuiblo guido to peoplo from this state.

A study of its contents impresses one more than ever -with the enormity and substantiality of Pennsylvania exhibits.

He Let His Political Antagonist Have Pretty Much His Own Way. From the Philadelphia Times. As a matter of course General Reeder has certain fence building to claim attention jtjst now. Neither by incident nor accident is ho out of employment as state chairman at this period in his affairs. Nothing like a climax annoyed tho general in his conduct of the otlico unless an exception is mado in favor of the very dreadful conspiracy against the Republican party unearthed by Mr.

Pomeroy last year, a conspiracy in which tho attorney general and secretary of state were accused of an attempt to mutilate tho Baker blanket ballot and set aside Republican rights. It was afterwards quite clearly proven that Mr. Pomeroy was mistaken, as ho frequently is, and tho climax subsided without date for renewal. There wero no other troubles in tho campaign without equablo settlement. Even Cousin John Marshall Wright planted no thorns in Cousin Reed-er's pathway, so tho present deviation from all records is quite a concern to tho ex-chairman's friends.
