Every body knew that on the day of the convention. Fleming's nomina- tion was accomplished the same way. - -_— THE reason so many old soldiers were refused appointments in Centre county was because they were not politicians and of the stripe of the Bellefonte ring. They were good enough soldiers and Republicans but they did not join in with the right faction of the party. SCHAEFFER was raised on a farm and is a deserving young man in every re. spect.

Why Reform in the State Troasary is Needed and why the Eleotion of Edmuand A, Migler will promote it, 1. Because under Republican rule taxation has largely exceeded the needs of the State, and vast sums of money have improvidently gathered into the Treasury vaults, 2. Because Republican officials have failed to use or invest these moneys as the law directs, and the State has lost a large sum, amounting to nearly one quarter of a million dollars in two years, 8. Because, ut the command of a po. litical boss, these surplus funds of the State are deposited with favorite banks, corporations and firms, in sums ranging from ten thousand to six hundred thou. sand dollars, to be used for his private {a million of United States were earning four per i the State, and added the proceeds to the State has only one-half million dollars security for more than two and one. half million dollars thus deposited, 5.
