adelphian for Governor, |
A dispatch sent out from Dellefonte |
to the city dalies quotes Ex-Governor |
Hastings as favoring Judge Penny-
packer, of Philadelphia, for governar,
and then caps the climax by saying
that Col. W. F. Reeder, the Republi-
can county chairman, is of the same
cpinion. It might have been necessa- |
ry to state that Ex-Governor Hastings |
was for Pennypacker, but it was alto-|
gether unnecessary to say.that Col.
Reeder was of the same mind, because |

both.

Harris inthe Treasury,
It is hard to realize that any good
citizen, even though he be a Republi.
can can derive any satisfaction from
knowing that Harris has taken charge
of the State treasury. A member of
the Legislature who would in violation
of his oath of office ask a fee for aiding
to secure an appropriation for a hospi-
tal in his neighborhood ought certain-
ly to weaken rather than strengthen the
party responsible for his election. The
man who could pot show to the satis
faction of a jury that the one who call-

of the administration to muzzle all

able to stifle all intelligent discussion
at home, and, by its policy of evasion,
suppression and silence, to keep from

concern them.
They denounce the purpose of the

of subjugation, to exchange the policy
of ** benevolent assimilation” for a
policy of extermination, deseefuting
