WASHINGTON GRANGE BESOLUTIONS
The report of the general appearance
of the Pennsylvania agricultural ex.
hibit at the World's Fair, by those
who saw it, and the resolutions phase.
ed by the Washington Grange, Fer-
guson township, greatly vary. The
Washington Grange resolut ions, which
are long enough to cover the entire
Pennsylvania exhibit, were mailed to
this office fron Harrisburg. Strange !
The resolutions, indeed, are windy,
but they will fail to convince those
who 8AW the exhibit that the exhibit
itself is not as big a fake as some of the
officials who are strutting about try-
ing to convince the public, and the
farmers especially, that there was
neither graft nor deception in the St,
Louis affair.
The Reporter was once deceived by
smooth letters, giviog half-truths con-
cerning the Pennsylvania exhibit at
the World's Fair, written by some of
the officials, and it now prefers to ac-
the resolutions referred to as re-

After posing for a period of six or
eight years as the head of the Stalwart
wing of the Republican party in Cen-
tre county, it is now ridiculous to try
to disprove that Judge Love isa po.
litical judge. His party would better
accept the situation as it is, and make
a fight to re-elect the ackuowledged
head of the Republican party.
A
Mr. Kimport is thoroughly fitted
for the position to which he is aspir-
ing. He is acquainted with every
phase of the work to be done in the
prothonotary’s office. Besides, he
will know how (and do it, on) to
treat the tiller of the soil when he
comes Lo the offiow —~no matter whether
on busicess or for a social chat,
ss iomtesnndlsmaa—
The chances are that Judge Love
will not die a poor man for, necording
to the Bellefonte Republican, he oan
earn twice ns much si the bar as on
the bench. His practice at the bar
will begin at the expiration of his
present term.
The farmer who desires to elevate
one of his own cines will find it a pleas
ure to vole for Mr. Kimport for pros
thonotary, and suggest (0 his veigh-
bor--withoutl regard to politios-—to do
the same.
