(Philadelphia Record, Dam ) Berry' Reeord Better Than Good This osteoma of the third part) convention is hardly a surprise. With Mr. Berry aa active candidate, it would hav been surpriaing had any other result fullowed the roll oall of the independents. He is a lively campaigner, and has beei busy Interesting people la hi oam! daoy for some months past. Follow ing his defeat at the hamfeof the Democ ratio eonTentioo, his friend. who believed hnu the only avails hit man for this year's contest with tbe Republican Machine, did not oeaat (heir efforts. They wanted Berry and tbey flocked to the third part) movement in numbers large enough to place him in a position toattempi the raoe for Governor at the general election. Mr. Berry Is a popular man among large number of people and de servedly so. Hi record as State treasurer was better than good, as it was largely if not wholly due U bis discoveries and disclosures thai the Capitol steal was exposed and proven. Be will command a large vote.
