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

would pass from the first. 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. It
penetrates to the nervea and bone, and
being absorbed into the blood, its healing
properties arc conveyed to every part of
the body and effect some wonderful cures.

You may as well expect to run a steam
engine without water as to find an active,

may know that his liver is torpid when he
does not rcli.-h his food or feels dull and

and sometimes dizziness. A few doses of
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
will restore his liver to its normal func
