To THK SSVUKH Oil'STY I!ki i iii.H AN Committee : Your late action in providing for tlin election of Congressional cot, conferees liyn popular vote at tho primary ileetion has given rise to considerable comment, lioth nt liomn mill abroad. It is 11 move in the right direction, and i looked upon with favor by all but the political bosses and their henchmen. If you will yet give every voter an opportu nity at the primary election to make known ly ballot his first, choice for the district nomination anions all the catldi d.ites in the Held, you will t ike the mutter of nominating our congressional candidate, as far an lraoticalle, nut of reach of the puh t iciM and place it in the hands of tho people-- just where it should he. The conferees would then know which candidate to support in con ference, in order to do the expressed will of tin. majority of the party. Indeed, if the (.'raw ford county sys tcin of nominating candidates were employed in all the counties of the district, it Would he 11 better plan to dispense altogether with th- con ferees and let the pe ile make the nomination at the primary election, to be held on the Milne day through out the 1 ntire district. Similar pro visions should also be made for the nomination of a uididatc for the State Senate. The fa,.) js the party has already l -in ton 1. m if in tho hands of such nun who have sought to make it a meaiisto further their own personal interest tirst. IJe forius in party management have bein clamored for these many years. At last we are confronted with fair prospects of obtaining them, at least so far as our county is concerned. JSiuco you have commenced this good work, do not consider it as finished until you have made provisions to Hubmit all nominations and elections, Whether for county, district, State it National ofl nices. directly into S ?l C,"ia A" Mewer Iish bougjjt tho ' lll'l!l '',1'iitis.HrV' for eight luin .

The mention of the niuneof Judge A. (). Furst as the candidate of the U publican party for the nomination of Supreme Court .Judge has caused quite a thrill of enthusiasm through out tho State. In .Judge Furst's comparatively brief career on the bench ho has presided in so many courts that ho has become as well known us his judicial brethren who have tilled out several terms. Inva riably he has attracted attention In judicial dignity and unerring wis dom. As we hae already stated, his decisions have met with fewer re versals than those of any other gen tleman in tho State occupying u sim ilar position. Judge Furst is young and his mental l .-..I. : i :n .1 . imiiii lesiue ni in mi ineincri'lise, lie has not reached that ago when ho be lieves that there is nothing more for him to loarn.but ho is a diligent stu dent. Consecpiently, if ho should enter upon a career in tho Supreme Court, for u decade or longer, ho would givo to tho bench tho best poweru of hiH bright mind. In this respect ho probably has not an equal among tho gentlemen whoHo nainos have been mentioned for the nomi nation. Judge Furst is a resident of Belle fonte end was chosen by a good ma- jority in a district which is claimed g by tho Democrats at least to bo ftfjoc'pemocratic. Tho bonch should ever refutiuhl aboto politics, aud in this election it maintained that position. The Judge ha his adherents and ad mirers in all parties. lie has been praised for his impartiality in all de cisions. Those who had been his clients previous to his elevation to the bench come before him with some trepidation, because it is be lieved that, in his desire not to be influenced by such considerations, he is more likely to favor the other side, though in reality he dissipates from his mind nil other considera tions, and administers even and ex act justice. For these and many other reasons we consider that Hon. A. (). Furst would bo a model candi date for tho Supreme Court vacancy. Zl'i'iftfoHC iiilZftt. The above editorial clearly sets forth the sentiments of tho people in tho interior of tho State. Judge Furst has served seven years as a Common Fleas Judge, and has had fewer reversals in the Supreme Court than almost any other judge in commission. The Central portion of tho State has strong claims for the nomination upon tho question of locality, as it lias had no repre sentative upon the Supreme Loneh since tho days since tho days of Judge Ihirnside, and it would be be coming to Snyder county as a neigh bor to instinct our delegate in favor of Judge Furst.
