(.Subject to Decision of Congressional Convention 1 For State Senator, E. J..JONES. Elk. (Subject to Decision of Senatorial Convention.] Our State Ticket. The Republican State Conven tion, last "Wednesday, nominated a very strong ticket, composed of able gentlemen. The contest for Governor was a very animated one, one of the hardest contested ever known in this State. Gen'l Elkin, the defeated candidate, who is very popular with the people, made a gallant fight, ably support ed by a host of friends. His de feat docs not "sour" him and he will be found in the front rank, valliantly working for the success of the entire ticket. John P. Elkin is an able, honest and popular gentleman. The people are not done with him and four years hence lie will be their nominee without a reasonable doubt. If every Republican will follow the advice of John P. Elkin, there will be no laggards. Judge Penny packer, the nominee, is an able, upright and conscientious gentle man and will lie elected by a rous ing majority. His popularity at home will give him, in Philadel phia alone, over 100,<H)0 majority over any candidate the Democratic party may present. The PRESS, and we believe every Republican in Cameron county, will give the ticket loyal support. The party is thoroughly united and presenting a ticket acceptable to all factions there should bean increas ed Republican majority in this county. Let us all labor for the advancement and cementing of the party. The Sentiment of the State. The Republican press of the state, which was more than ordinarily divided on the gubernatorial nomi nation before the convention, is uniting heartily in the support of Judge Pennypacker. Here and there is silence on the part of some one unusually disappointed, but it is only for a day, says Philadelphia Press. In general the newspapers that were the more earnest supporters, of Mr. Elkin before the nomination are warmest in their commendation of Judge Pennypacker, recognizing in him a candidate who can be supported by all factions of the party, one who, with his position on the bench, has been free from all tin controversies that have stirred up the party in the State in the past few years, but who is a consistent vnd thorough-going Republican. There is no ground upon which personal or factional opposition to Judge Pennypacker can stand. The Democratic press, vexed and disappointed because the Republi can Convention has presented an unassailable candidate, can be expected to magnify and even dis tort every insignificant circum stance to its advantage. It may even raise vain hope in the Demo cratic breast, but all such effortwill have the effect to more completely unite 'til Repvbl'>an elements in support, of the candidate of the Harrisburg convention. At their best, the Democrats could not hope to present a candidate who would in character and fitness assure the people a more honorable Adminis tration than that which Gcvernor Pennypacker will give them. It is not sui'prisir" therefore, | well known ashe is, that Judge Penny packer should instantly command the cordial support of the Republican press of the State. It reflects in the highest degree the sentiment of the Republican people, and assures a campaign in which there can be no fear of the result. That it will be acompaigu of spirit and enthusiasm may be taken as certain, and every Republican citizen will honor himself in wliat ver he can do to secure Judge Pennypacker the greatest possible majority. The larger the vote cast for the head of the ticket, throughout the State the greater will be the number of Republican Congressmen elected. This is a vital feature of the canvass and one that will not bo overlooked. The Republican sentiment as manifested since the conv< at ion is altogether gratifying, \V AS HI MiTO.N LETTER. (From our JCegtitir Corrcnpondcnt.) Washington, June Kith, 1002. Editor Press:— On Friday the President seift to Congress a message devoted exclu sively to the subject of Cuban reci procity. There is nothing domin eering or dictatorial about Mr. Roosevelt's utterance. It is a striglit-forward, forceful appeal to Congress to carry to a successful issue the great work begun when the United States declared war against Spain because of the op pression which she had visited upon Cuba, and which ended with the establishment of the republic of Cuba. Mr. Roosevelt urges Con gress not to curtail the magnani mous policy of this great and power ful nation by halting before the complete fulfillment of the pledge she has made to Cuba, to the world, but, more than all, to herself, not to permit sordid and selfish reasons to deter her from insuring to the new born republic that measure of prosperity which can result only from generous reciprocal conces sions. He expresses the lirin con viction that such concessions will not injure any industry in this country. He dwells upon the fact that, by the limitations which we have placed on Cuba's foreign policy throughthe Piatt amendment we have obligated ourselves to grant her special concessions in return. Before Mr. Roosevelt sent his message to Congress it was urged upon him that such a course would be inexpedient, that it would have a tendency to injure his chances of a renotnination, that it might even injure the chances of Republican victory at the polls but these objec tions had no weight with the President. lie regards the enact ment of a liv providing for Cuba reciprocity as a duty and with him the conviction that a certain action is his duty outweighs all other considerations. His manly exposi tion of his convictions cannot but command the respect of true Ame ricans whether they take issue with his reasoning or not. In the words of the late respected "Jerry" Rusk, "lie seen his duty and lie done it. " The responsibility now rests with Congress. So far as I have been able to learn the President's message, while commanding respect,produc ed little effect upon the opponents of Cuban reciprocity. They say that Mr. Roosevelt's views are purely sentimental and that lie is mistaken in his conclusions as to the outcome of a reciprocal arrange ment. Senator Elkins said, after the message was read, that he saw no reason th change his views, that the President had revealed no new phase of the situation and that in his (Elkins') opinion, the Sugar Trust would be the only beneficiary of Cuban reciprocity. Senator Bard declines to diseuse the situation beyond saying that he had not changed his opinion. Representa tive Towncy said: "The Presi dent is mistaken and the only result of his message, if it has any, will be to make the opposition more solid than before." Repre sentative Long said that the Presi dent's message would result in the prompt passage of the Cuban bill, but Mr. Long has held that it, MN MN IMIMIIIII DR.

On ' Saturday Senator Elkius introduced a resolution providing for the annexation of Cuba as a state. The determination of the Senate to vote on the Nicaraguan Canal bill 011 Thursday will "clear the decks for action" on the Spooner bill which will probably be redorted from the Committee on Relations with Cuba to-day or to-morrow. It is still impossible to foretell what action the Senate will take on the canal question, although it is generally believed that the Spooner resolution will be passed. The ; greater part of Friday was spent by the Senate in secret session, the nomination of General Crozier as Chief of Ordnance being under consideration. Senator Proctor ! made a vigorous speech against the 1 confirmation of Crozier while ' Senator Cockrell upheld it. Senator Foraker also spoke in favor of confirmation as did Senators Warren and Harris but 110 final action was taken and no statement was made public. The Democratic Congressional Committee says that it will change the party plans. ('an this lie taken as an assurance that the democratic party really has any plans. - The Congressional campaign of the Republican party will be carried 011 the record of the past and not on promises of the future. Facts count for more with the people than fancies, theories and prophecies.

President Roosevelt has received as a gift from Cuban veterans the Cuban flag which first floated beside the American flag originally planted in Cuba. This was at (riiantanamo, June 12th, 1898, when the American marines first landed. While many, very many, of the Republican papers in this section of the State feel keenly the defeat of Mr. Elkin, but they, likeGen'l. Elkin, are loyal to the party. They will follow his lead for Judge I'onny packer. Elkin is 110 laggard, neither are his friends and admirers. A Splendid Bomedy. Neuralgic fuiins, rheumatism, lumbago and sciatic pains yield to the penetrating influence of Ballard's Snow Liniment.
