_
Wm.. B. HART,- the Republican can
didate fur State Treasurer, is a rep
resentative man in` the truest sense
of the word. He` went into office as
a clerk of the lowest class, and grad

nized - at every Step for his personal
worth, until he reached the responsi
ble poSition of the Chief Clerk of the
Treasury. Be IS a mechanic,. hav
ing served a regular - apprenticeship
to 'a. trade. He left hicratiVe em
'ployment to enter the army. and fight.
for the defense of his country, which
hedid as valiantly as any 'man - who
stood loyally by theold _flag: When the
war was over he received an appoint
ment unasked, and. has retained his .
pcisition in the Treasury by force
alone of his personal merits. The
same : influence—his own perional
worth--secured for him the nomina
tiim,for State Tteasurer. - That was
sficntarieous, and

The Philadelphia Daily Telegraph,'
independent, gi4es this goxi ,i 'sound
advice to honest working men :
'There is no reason or. excuse for
the organization •of a: new party of
any kind except • that good govern
ment cannot be accomplished under
those. already in existence; and a
new party when it• comes into the
field is bound to justify its existence
by proVing that a desire 'for good
governatent and not a greed for
pluniler is the animating motive' of
those' who conip'roie Its rank and file
and those who figure as its represen ,
tative Men. A new party, must have
dearly defined principles and aims,
or it ;lever can 'achieve any thing
more 'than mere transient' success,
and to achieve even a transient sue- .
cess it must seek to accomplish its'
end by' fair,. open and honorable
means. The great trouble with the
old Know Nothing, par was that It
sought to accomplish it ;ends by tors
tuous, underhand and grossly im
proper methods—the, principles , o af
that party are not necessarily now
under discussion—the so called
United :Labor party, which to all
seeming is even less animated, by

organization 'was, can scarcely. ex-. 1

Under our township system, the case of 1
these devolves upoti , ,the overseers of • the'
poor. These gentlemen geueraliy•-come 1
from the class of well-to-do-farmers, they
aka usually fully ocettpled, with their own
affairs, have little time tO \devote - to in

These considerations make it manifest
