Our Ticket. Wo feel highly com
I'limcntod by the action ol tho Stato
Convention, not becauso that body
nominated us tor an office ; but for tho
reason that it put our ticket in the
field Trunkoy, Schell and Noyos. In
May last, aftor looking over tho field
and having convassod the claims of
tho sovoral aspirants and tho interests
of the party, wo ramo to tho conclu
tsion that with a Tnm hey and a big
yoyes wo could i-hcll tho enemy out
of their political cntronehmonts, and
wo havo no doubt but that tho people
in Novcmhor next will rntily Iho ac
tion of the Convention by a largo ma
jority. roLirivAL rit a vm.
Wo notifo that tho"Workingmon"
and "Labor Unions" aro organising for
the purposo of electing men of tlwir
class to office and in this way euro tho
ovils with which Radicalism has afllict-
od tho country. The scheme sot up by
the lenders looks plausible, but when
investigated it proves to bo a hngo
fraud. To illustrate: The "laboring
men" of Cincinnati bavo nominated a
horny-handed Uvitnl Statu Commit-
ffiWr for (iovornor of Ohio, a brawny
newspapor editor for Stato Treasurer, a
bony and sinewy ofHrr hniitcr and ox
Republican politician for School Com
miNsioner and another labor begrimed
iMrd manager for Clerk of tho Supromo
Court. Our "laboring" friends had
better pick their flints and try again.
They should not go forth to tbo battlo
mounted on a sot of old war horses who
would shy at the sight of a sawhuck
r an anvil. What is demonstrated in
tho Ohio caso is truo of all others with
out exception. This labor reform busi
ntsss is workod up by demagogues,
common loafers, constitutional thieved
and social vagabonds generally, and
tbe result is communism, A division
of property every six months with
those classos, who, if a division was
made every month, y0uld have nothing
ia ten dsvs after
prlmo of life, and at tho vergo of that
maturity of mental power, which, in a
sia;iJ body, grows and strciitbenB
until tho allotted period, of man's lifu is
passed. Ho is in his forty-ninth, your,
and if ulectod, when his Constitutional
term of twonty-ono years shall have
passed, ho will 'bo in his seventieth
year. II is character as a man is above
reproach, and his record ns a Judgo is
that of ono who is pure, ablo nnd of
sound judgment. His district cmliraccs
much of tho oil producing tonilory ot
tho Sluto, and in ils litigation many
now and perplexing questions oro con
tinually arising. In grappling with
these., and in adjusting conflicting in
terests growing out of such complica
ted issues, he has been eminently suc
cessful, and his judgments, it is said,
havo been rarely roverscd by tho Su
premo Court. On tbo bench, as in
privato life, Judgo Trunkoy is cour
toous and self-poised, a good listener,
but prompt in decision and firm in ad
herence to his viows. If ho shall be
elected, as wo believo bo will bo, tbo
Stato will have secured a vuluablo addi
tion to its highest judiciary. Judge
Trunkoy was born in Mercer county in
1828, and presided in that district dur
ing bis first judicial term. Ho is, liko
his prohablo competitor Judgo Ster-
rett a member of tho Presbyterian
church.
The candidate for Auditor (enerul, Is
Hon. Wm. P. Schell, of Bedford. Ho is
in bis fifty-fifth yoar, a lawyer by pro
fession, and a man of unblemishod in
tegrity. Ho has been a member of
both brancbosof tho Stato Legislature,
and was Spoakcr of tho Houso of Rep
resentatives in 1833. Ho has always
bocn an earnest and active advocato of
tho interests ot the laboring classos, but
has never pandered to demagoguoism
in that political field. - In 1872 bo was
tho nominee of tho labor reform party
for liovernor, but withdrew in fuvor
of llr. lluckaletv. Ho was the clear
choico of tho Convention and of the
party, and wo think will mako a coin
potent nnd efficient Auditor (ionoral.
Col. Noycs, tho candidato for Stuto
Treasurer, is our neighbor, and many
of our lumbering pcoplo havo been
brought into contact with him in their
business pursuits. Yo know him fa
vorably as a genial gentleman of strict
integrity and futrdealing. Ho is a na
tivo of Now Hampshire, but for about
thirty years ho has resided in our lo
cality, and pursued ibo business of a
lumberman. Ho has repcatodly rep-
resented Clinton county in tho House
of Representatives, and is now a mem
bcrof tho Board of StatiiClmrities. The
bluff and hearty manner, tho whole
souled disposition, and tho probity and
upriglitnoss that havo boon tho invari
ablo characteristics of tho life of Col,
2ioyes among the people ot tho Wost
Branch, have endearod him to ail
classes, and made him popular with all
parties. Ho will run fur ahead of bis
party in Central and Northern Tonn
sylhnia, and his administration of the
finances of tho Stato will bo markod
by honosty and reform.
o cannot as highly endorso tbo
form of tho resolutions adopted by tho
Convention as wo approve ils candi
dates, ui tncir matlor wo approvo,
but they are couched in language
which conceals rather than oxprossos
tho thought. On the two vital issues
tho curroncy and tho labor question
no incisive, ringing and bold declara
tion is made. Theso, and thoso alone,
aro the questions that now agitato tho
public mind, and a groat party should
boldly assort itself upon the living is
sues of tho hour. It is said by an ox-
change that thoy aro tho production
of Sennlor -Wallace. We happen to
know thai this is not corroct. lie sub
mittod a sorios of resolutions to a mem
bor of tho Cotnmittoo which woro com
plete in thomsclvcs, but no trace of
their clear cut thought is discoverahlo
in this medley of ill-assorted phrase's.
Any ono who will comparo the plat
form ol 1870, writton and reported by
Senator Wallace, with this ono, will
at once seo tho difference llo is al
ways conciso, never diffuBO, and if his
views bad bocn accepted by tho Com
mittee on Resolutions, tho nomocracy
of Pennsylvania would not now occu
py tho uncnviublo atlitudo of attempt
ing to conceal its viows upon tbo only
real issues of tho campaign. We find
no fault with what is said, but wo re
gret tho manner in which it is said,
and tho fuiluro to say all that was
necessary.
Tho ticket is a good one and it will
bo clocted.
ol justice n suci. tuat all who know
him havo implicit coufidenco in bis
fairness and integrity. In his own
section ho is universally esteemed, and
will receive tho votos of tho people
without distinction of party. Whn
first olectod President Judgo ho over
came a largo Republican majority and
was re elected over a vory p.-, ular
competitor in Iho district in ticb
ho now presides. His name is a towor
of strength to the tickot, especially in
tho norlhwostern counties.
Hon. William P. Schell, whoso namo
has been placed upon the ticket for
Auditor(tonoral,iswoll known through,
cut tho Slato as a gontloman of excel
lontcharactcr and possessing oxoeulivo
abilities of a high character. Some
twenty-five years ago be was Spoaker
of tho House of Representatives, and
was a member of tho Stato Scuato
lrom 18S8 till 1SC1 from tho tlistriel
tlion composed of the counties of Hod-
ford, Huntingdon and Somerset. Last
year be was again elected to Iho House
of Representatives from the Bedford
district by a vory handsome majority.
In 1372 ho was tho Labor Reform can
didato governor, but a short timo bo-
foro tho olcclion withdrew in fuvor of
it. Buckulow. Mr. Schell has ninny
personal friends in both political par
ties and thus becomes a very formida
ble candidate. II is fitness for the office
for which ho has been nominated is
unquestioned, and tho interests of tho
Stato will be safe in bis hands.
Hon. Amos C. Noycs. tho candidato
for State Treasurer, is a self made
man, who, by patient industry and
upright dealing with bis fellow men, has
won the esteem of tho largocircle of his
acquaintances. Ho has served a num
ber of terms in tho House of Repre
sentatives from tho Clinton district,
and his legislative Bcrvico is distin
gushed for his independent action on
all public questions, His career in tho
legislature was that of nn honest nnd
fearless man, who dnrod to support or
opposo nieusures accordingly as they
commenaeu uicmseivos to bis approval
or seemed to him to require his opposi
tion. 1 hose who served with him will
bear us out in tho assortion that no
purer man than Amos C. Noycs evor
sat in cither branch of the legislature,
lie bus business capacity of a vory bu
perior order, a necossary qualification
of a fit candidato for the office of Stato
Treasurer. Tho li nances of the Com
monwealth mny bo safely entrusted to
bis hands. Col. Noyes bos much per
sonal popularity throughout tho Stato
and will mako a splendid run ospcpiul
ly in tho region in which be has re
sided tho greater part of his life.
We have only words of approbation
and praise for tbe candidates, becauso
no evil can bo spokon with truth of
any of thorn and their gonuine person
al worth will not be disputed by those
who know thorn as wo do. The tickot
is an exceptional strong ono and with
a thorough and efficient canvass will
be elected. Utirrisbvrg Patriot.
