THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1871.
The Pennsylvania Campaign for 1871.
We have .wo very Important officers
to elect in this State, this year, namely,
Auditor General and Surveyor General.
Both these positions are now filled by
Republicans, men twice elected to their
offices; wherein they have given the
very largest satisfaction. Can we fill
their places? This is the important
question of the period, and we must not
disguise it in any manuer. It is of no
possible consequence who is nominutcd
as candidates for election by the Repub
lican party so that we get good men,
honest and capable for the position.
What we want is victory in 1871, that
we may be in all respects prepared for
the great battle of 1872. Pennsylvania
is unquestionably Republican so fur as
measures are concerned. We can up
hold any platform embodying the great
ideas of radical reform. The people
have fairly tested what is meant by
radical Republican principle, and they
have confidence in it. With this fact
clear, all we have to do this year is to
be careful in our nominations. It is not
possible for partizan discipline to cram
a bad man down the throats of tbo Re
publican masses, and therefore it be
hooves our friends to be careful in tbeir
nominations for the State offices, to be
filled by election this year. Geograph
ical location will have nothing to do
with the result. What we must remem
ber is, that we are now dealing with im
portant measures, and with thtnJdng
men tcho have votes. If these facts
are taken into consideration, and the
nominating convention is guided by
their force, there will be no trouble to
win a Republican victory next October.
