iii.si'Imrgitij,' tlio dutii'H Imposed upon
tlii'iii In nil .suitable ways, propose tu
iiiltlrcss to you a few sincere, earnest
words.
Wo desire, by tho election of Mr. l'er
Bhing to the bench of the Supremo Court
to i-cctiro it judgo of ability anil high
character, who will bo impartial In his
Kreat ofiU'c, und will make tho Consti
tution and tho laws the ruloof his judg
ment and action.
Tlx; election of Asa l'aeker, to tho
olllco of Governor, Is recommended by
many considerations of high moment,
tosomo of which wc proposo to call
your attention.
Reform Is needed in tho State govern
ment, and lio is a fit man to Introduce
and uphold it. For ho will como to tho
performance ol public dtity,armod with
Integrity its wllh a garment, with n
knowledge of tho business Interests of
our people, and wllh an earnest pur
poso to do good and resist evil.
What has been nmNs in legislation
and in ICxecutlvo action at Ilarrlsburg
in recent years, will bo rebuked by his
election, I'or he has hud no concern
and no nynipathy with tho mismanage
ment of thu Stale finances nml with tho
enactment of odious or Improvident
laws; ho lias been engaged In honora
ble enterprises of great public utility,
nnd lias given his sympathies always
lo honnnihlo men. whether lu business
or in political lire. II" lias also much
knowledge of public liui and of public:
men. This Is an IndNpcii-ublo (jiiallll
cation for tho oHlcc of Governor or of
rresldent. Without It, IC.vecullvo ser
vice must ho badly performed or neg
lected. Ami l'aeker represents well ono prac
tical elllct of our free Institutions. A
penniless youth, audit man of htimblo
position in tho earlier years of his man
hood, ho has achluved a prominent i os
Itlou among tho business men of tho
country, and distinction as a political
man. Ilo now appears before you, not
unsolicited, as a candidate for tho high
est olllco In tho State government, and
holds nssiich tho respect mid confidence
of hli fellow-citizens, moro truly and
firmly than could a man of high rank
and proud llnengo lu a country of ties,
potlu or arlstocratical institutions. In
Ills case, popular confidence Isbuscd en
tirely upon thobolld foundation of real
merit; tried throughout an eventful ca
reer and manifested In honorable, useful
and magnanimous action.
Asa l'aeker, In tho Gubernatorial
chair, will givo to us what wo greatly

curity against violent, unjust, lll-cou
bldered, hellish and partisan laws, lio

his views regarding them enlightened
and liberal, lie will favor and aid the
development of thu formernnd nil pos
sible extensions of tho lattcr.so that our
peoplo shall Jie prosperous nnd bo ena
bled thu belter lo bear the great burden
or their public debt.
The present canvass has nol been ono
of excitement or of noisy effort. Rut
wo believe that earnest thought haa
been directed by our people to tho Issues
involved lu It, and to tho respective
claims of tho candidates beforo them.
There is a disposition In the public mind
(nnd a proper nnd timely ono) to pass
from sectional and adventitious ones
Hons connected with tho receut war,
and bestow attention upon financial,
monetary and industrial ones, which
como homo to our peoplo in their uvery
day pursuits and avocations. Money Is
scarce for many legitimate and useful
Investments; our taxation is in mauy
respects unequal, nnd upon some objects
oppressive; tho rates of Interest upon
public loans nro Improvident; tho ex
penses of government (both Stato nnd
Federal) nro ejcesslve, If not profligate,
and thu relations between capital and
labor aro uneasy and disturbed; and
then there is unquestionably a general
lowering of the moral tone of public Ufa
below the luvel of former times.
For remedy for these manifest evils
(which nono can deny, and nil good
men must lnmcnt,) tho peoplo must act
with suergy nnd wisdom. They must
cull better men thnn they now havo to
places of public trust, nnd they must
break up the monopoly of power by the
ju-puoucan party. Tho election of Asa
Packer will point to reform nnd Im
provement In our nffairH, nnd will go n
great wny toward securing them. For
it will mean that integrity nnd enpacity
high honor, spotless character, busi
ness ability, experience In nflalrs, nnd
ix ehryjltablp, tolerant nnd magnanimous
spirit aro appreciated by the people,
nnd that men possessing them will bo
secured whenover possible, for tho pub
lloscrvlce; and It will mean also, that
u party in possession of unchecked pow
er for many years, whoso performances
in the administration of government
are unsatisfactory, will be called upon
to surrender its power, or to dlvido that
power with nnothor party moro faith
ful or moro competent.
Tho llarrisburg Convention claimed
for our Stato tho right and privilege of
determining for hcrselftho rules of pop
ular sulTrago within her limits. This
right, which was recognized in tho Re
publican platform of 1SGS, is one of vi
tal importance, and should nover bo
surrendered or waived. For If the right
to determine-whether Africans, Asiat
ics or Indians, shall bo electors of a
Stnto or not, bo taken away from tho
States no matter in what wny their
character as sovereign frecStntes lsclear-
ly gone from them. We nro not so dl
rectly interested in the adjustment of
suitragoln tho Southern States under
tho reconstruction laws of Congress, as
in tiiogeneral question of Stato power
over tho subject of suffrage. Though
wo may acquiesce in the former as an
accomplished fact as an exceptional
exerciso of Federal power over seceded
States which is beyond recal we must
claim for the latter an enduring interest
nnd vitality. Our brethren of Califor
nia have declared at their recent elec
tion that they will not agreo that Con
gress shall have power to creato Japanese
nnd Chineso voters for thnt Stato. They
claim for themselves entire jurisdiction
over tho subject of suffrage within their
State, and will not surrender it. Nor
will wo surrender our similar right, if
wo shall be wisely instructed by history
and by reason, und shall bo regardful of
our interests nud our honor.
Tho country desires not only peace,
but all the fruits of peace restored con
cord, restored prosperity, nnd a com
pleto restoration of constitutional rulo
in all tho Slates. Wo seek for this: wo
desire this with all our hearts. So fur
then as national policy is concerned,
our cnuso Is the cause of pcaco and of
good will among men; of puro nnd just
government conformed to fundamental
law mid inspired by a humane aud
christian spirit, and it Is opposed only
to mismanagement and wrong to tho
rudo rulo of tho military in time of
peace and to tho plunder of tho people,

Committee.

Clehioal Anecdote. Tho Rev.
Samuel Clawson, a Methodist preacher
of eccentric manners, sometimes called
tho "Wild Man," was very popular in
Western Virginia souio twenty years
ago. Ho was cioss-oyed and wiry made
and very dark-i-kiiined fora white man.
At times he was surprisingly eloquent,
always excitable, nnd occasionally ex
travagant. Ilo onco accompanied a
brother minister, Rev. Mr. R., a prom,
incut pastor, in a visit to a colored
church. Mr.R. gnvo tho colored preach
er tho hint und, of course Clawson was
invited to preach. lie did bo, and dur
ing tho hernion, set tho Impulsive- Afri
cans to shouting nil over tho hous-o.
This, in turn, set Claweon to extrava
gant winds and actions, nnd he leaped
out of tho pulpit like a deer, aud began
to shako tho hands of the colored breth
ren nud mix In quite happily. Ho wept
for Joy. Then, pressing through tho
crowd, he found brother It., nml slttino-
down beside him, lu threw his arms
around his neck, mid with tears stream
ing down Ills cheeks hu said:
"Urother R,, 1 almost wish I hnd
been horn n nigger. Theo folks havo
moro religion than wo have."
"Well, well," said brother R., "you

about it."
"Rkiikjht, bow oiiiu you to burn

How Smith Askod tho Old Man.
Smith had Just asked Mr. Thompson's

"Yes."
It therefore became ahsoliilelv mnu.

Smith said he'd rather noi tho Inter

It had to be done, nud so ho sat down

dropped in on lilin ono Sundny even

would slip from him quicker than nn

blurted out
"Mr. Thompson, sir : Perhaps It may

one of them now, ain't you?"
Smith hnd begun to think it all over

"Mr. Thompson, sir: I'erhaps It may
not bo unknown to you that during tho
extended period of flvo years, I havo
been busily engaged in th O Iirosis"nllnn

"Sit down, Smith, and help yourself
to beer. Don't stand there lioldin'

Smith hnd been knocked out again,
nnd so lie had to wander back ognin nnd

word as if it was tils only chance, and
went on :
"In tho hope that somo day I might
enter wedlock, and bestow my earthly

sir, and have felt that It is not good
for man to bo alone; therefore I would "
"Neither is It, Smith ; I'm glad
you dropped in. How's tho old man?"
"Mr. Thompson, sir." said Smith. In
despairing confusion.raising his voice to
ajen, "it may not bo unknown to you
