STATE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Philadelphia, January 31, 1891
To the Electors of Pennsylvakia
The Democratic State Convention,
held in Harrisburtr. Tanuarv 10. iSnj
nominated its candidate and adopted
its piattorm with unanimity and with a
ocgree 01 entnusiasm mat has not been
t A ..
surpasseu. a representative conven
tion of nearly five hundred deWsi..
assembled from every Representative
district in the State, without
contested and without a dissenting
voice, ranged itseii in solid support of
the national organization of the party
and of the Democratic Administration
of the Federal and State Governments
It nominated a representative Demo
crat as the candidate for Represent!
tive-at-Large in Congress upon a plat
form in accordance with the last auth
orued deliverance of the Mtimi
Democracy, and with its exposition by
a Democratic President. It rWiir
ed their sympathy with and support of
me euorts 01 a democratic Congre-s
to relieve the country from business
oeprcssion and lrom all the bad effects
of Republican misrule. It declared
for a true American svstem which
would bring relief for languishing com
mercial interests, better wages to
American labor, and which will restore
American commerce.
Hon. James Denton Hancock, of
xranKiin, venango Uounty, the can
didate for Representative at Large in
Congress, is a man of high and pure
character, of large attainments and ex
perience, with the intelligence to have
convictions and the courage and hon
esty to avow them. He is the candi
date of the whole party, and is entitled
to its unanimous support
Gratified by these conditions, the
organization of the Democratic Party
in Pennsylvania, feels encouraged to
call upon the electors of the State,
without regard to party affiliations, t
rally to his support. We believe that
the principle of tariff reform has per
meated the minds of the people of
Pennsylvania, and that, in the language
of the Harrisburg platform, they are
ready to "record the vote of their
State in Congress for an enlightened,
liberal and progressive system, that
must quicken the prosperity of our
Commonwealth and promote the gen
eral welfare of the country."
We have everything to gain and
nothing to lose by discussion and ag'
tation. I therefore appeal to and call
upon the organization of the party in
every election district to disseminai.
the principles of the party as declared
in its platform and in the deliverances
of its candidate, and to promote, full,
fair and free discussion of the issues of
the campaign. To the end that the-t
may be efficient and Vl'trornra nr,nri
zation, I call upon the Democracy of
the State to perfect their organizations
by counties, election districts and by
school districts. Above all, let there
be a spirit of unity and harmony
througout the organization and iu
every district, so that a singleness tf
purpose may pervade the efforts of
the party toward the election of its
candidate, and unity of counsel may
be joined with efficiency of organiza
tion and aggression in action. If the
half million Democratic voters of
Pennsylvania will record their votes
for the nominee ot their party, Penn
sylvaniaawill take its right place in the
Democratic line.
J. Marshall Wright,
Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee.
GENERAL NEWS.
Gold, silver and lead have been dis
covered in Spruce Hill, near Bourne
ville, Ross county, Ohio, by A. W.
Stretchier, ot Xenia, who became
wealthy by similar discoveries
in California forty years ago.
Springfield capitalists are associated
with him. They have been pros
pecting over six months and will be
gin digging in two weeks. W. F.
Mitchell and Miss Sallie Mitchell own
the hill in which they have found the
valuable metal.
Eddie Brotherston a ten-year old
boy disappeared from his home in
Ashley about two weeks ago. Every
stream and pond has been dragged,
but no trace of him. It is supposed
he has been kidnapped.
Geo. W. ChiUls, proprietor of the
Philadelphia ledger, is lying in a
critical condition, the result of paraly

February "Cosmopolitan".
The Secret of the great success of
The Cosmopolitan is not so hard to
find, if one looks carefully over the
number for February. A story by
Vaides, fie f.imons Spanish novelist,
the first from his pen to appear in
any American magazine, is begun in
this number. Arthur Sherburne H?r
dy's story, "A Rejected Manusurit"
is charmingly illustrate I by I. MarolJ,
who we believe makes his first appear
ance in the magazines on this side of
the water. A j.roluscly illustrated re
ticle on the designing and bui ding of
a war-ship appeals to the in crest tak
en by all in the new navy, and a thrill
in? description of a naval combat un
der the significant title : " The Melo
bin and the Pentheroy'' describes af
ter the manner of the Bartle of Djrk
ing. a possible sea fight, the outcome
of which is watched by the entire na
val world. ''Gliding Flight" is an in
teresting contiibutto:i to the problem
of aerial navigation by one who has
studied the flight of soaring birds in
the East for twenty years. B'air.e
Goodale, who married a member of
the Sioux nation of Indian Wars and
Warriors. T. C. Crawford, the Wash
ington correspondent, gives the first
half of a startling stoiy, under the title
of 'The Disappearance Syndicate".
The poetry in this number by Sii E I
win Arnold, Graham R. Tomson and
William Young, is unusually good.
The Departments, ' In thi World of
Art and Letters" and the " progress of
Science" continue to have a contribu
tors men famous in both continents.
The Cosmopolitan for February in
troduces a famous Europe in author to
its readers Vaides of Madiid, and
