Ventral Silas M. Bailey.
J. K. Craft, Cashier of the Ex
change BADk, Franklin, Pa., con
tribute the following letter to the
Venango Citizen with reference to
Gen. fellas M. Bally, Republican can
didate fur State Treasurer. It is an
eloquent tribute of an Intimate friend,
and Is worthy of repetition:
"Twerrty years ago 1 saw hint start
fron Wayncsburg, Green county,
witb the first company organized In
that couuty for the war; He was then
in the Vigor and strength of early
manhood, full of teal and enthusiasm
for the Union cause. An election for
officers of tue company had been held
and although there were older men in
tho company than Silas M. Bally and
some who were trained to arras, yet so
great was their confidence in his In
telligeneo, discretion and bravery, that
be was chosen as captain, and amidst
the prayers and tears of ths dear ones
left behind be started with his com
mand for camp.. Ou the . organization
of the Pennsylvania Restive Carps he
was placed in the Eighth Regt. and
his history Is closely linked with that
gallant command all through the war
From the time the army of the Poto
mac under ueu. Aicuieuan, leu ine
vicinity of Washington, until the ex
piration of his term of service on the
Peninsula of Virginia, at Antietam,
Fredericksburg, Chancellsville, Get
tysburg, and the series .pt brittle from
that of the Wilderness to Petersburg
General Baily performed his duty
most gallantly aud won by hard and
efficient service promotion to the rank
of Colonel, and after the troops were
mustered out was brevetted' Brigadier
General by President Johnson. He
returned to his home, again resumed
his place in business aud is respected
by all who know him, regardless of
party lines.
General Bally is a bafehelor, and
this brings up in memory a sweet face
which grew sadder and thinner
through the long weary years of the
war, aud a form that became more
fragile, as time passed, until it was at
last laid to rest on the hill side, and
the "Cckste" of earth was trans
planted to tho celestial home in the
skies; and this, perhaps explains why
General Rally never married.
A great many newspapers have seen
fit to find fault with General Bally for
being one of the "SOo"' at Chicago, but
when we take into consideration that
he was elected a delet?te, on that very
issue, nv.d over a man of great ability,
Hon. John If. .Ewing who was a pro
noun ;ed Biaitie man, we see at once
tLat he could not have acted other
wise than he did. He followed Grant
at Chicago as he followed him from
the Wilderness to Petersburg, and he
wan as true to his country and his cou-
scleucQ in tho one case as the other.
The objection Is urged agulnst Gen
eral Bally that he is the crndidate of a
"Ring," but this one thing I believe
to be most emphatically true, that ho
cannot be used by any man or ring'
He is thoroughly honest and straight
forward, and does his own thinking,
IIr has brains enou-rh to Ituow Lis
duty and, rest assured, nothing wiJi
prevent him doing

Will Mr. Wolfe Withdraw?
Philadelphia l'rens.
The Pre takes this occasion to pro
pose to Mr. Wolfe that he withdraw
from the canvass for State Treasurer,
fold his candidacy up ueiitly in a nap
kin and gently lay it away, and make
hia flirht for Mr. Noble in the most
direct way.
We advance this suggestion the
more confidently because of Mr,
Wolfe's previous good character and
the peculiar kind of contest he Is
waging for reform within the party
He complains that the present admin
istratlon of the Republican party is
not honest, aud he declares that bis
battle is purely for reform. Honesty
is of the essence of reform, and a gen
uiue Reformer can't get aloug with
out it. Nothing which misleads can
be said to be entirely honest, and
when we call Mr. Wolfe'a attention to
the fact that some people are going to
poll Wolfe tickets under the misap
prehension that they will be- voting
fop the Union couuty Rejormer, it is
only giviiiff hint credit for the good
that is in him to say that he will be
glud to seizc ujion our suggestion.
Mr. Wolfe, doubtless, Is as desirous
as anvbudy that the Issues shall be
well and clearly defined. We submit
to hint that nothing that he can do
will so much contribute to that end as
to withdraw in fuvor of Mr. Noble
and, for the remaining-days of the
campaign, stump for Noble directly
Inste.-id of ioimr, for Noble via Wolfe
Mr. Wolfe is most happily Htuated
for a stroke of tbis kind. Of the Hv
candidates ho is the only one whose
nomination is all his own to use as he
may think best. He gave it to him
self, and be can take it away from
himself. Having hauled down. hi
own nan he can run up Mr. ' Noble's,
aud sail no rjuoro under false colors,
The iVtf feels kindly toward Mr,
Wolfe and Mr; Noble, and tiite pro
position the very cream of the milk
of bumao-klndnessr-hv ui their Joiu
interest.
Perhaps Mr. Wolfe will explain
before b doses bis stumping tou
just what the Kembb pur-dun has to
do with General Bally and the State
Treasurer. An eulightened peopl
fail to see the connection as yet..

Republican Platform.
Jiceolvcd, That the Republican
fiarty of Pennsylvania .s lu the most .
learty accord with the Administra
tion of President Garfield, and, whtte
uniting in the prayers of all pood
people for his speedy recovery, pledgee
continued fealty and the most active
suppport iu the prompt and cuurag
eous correction of all governmental
abuses. As Republicans we are In
favor of any proper and well-consid-crcd
reform, either in the government
of the Nation, the State, municipality
or county, and we court suggestion t
to any or all of these ends, und only
ask that in their advocacy well-estab- .
Ilshed safeguards shall not bo harshly,
supplanted by experiments. The Ad
ministration of President Oarfl'eld lift
set the right example In this direction,
and while firmly adhering to the prin
ciples and better practices of the great
party which called it 5ita existence,
it yet insists upon faithfulness ami
honesty iu every branch of the public
service. That the bulletof an assassin
should not interrupt this work. It
should be pursued while its author
lives, and beyond his life, if thsoutfJU
increasing misfortune it should be
taken away. .
Jlaiolvcd, That the Republican
party lias ever been progressive and
reformatory, and while realizing that
nothing In government Is wholly
right we desire to be always jve
enough "to seek every avenue of ap
proach to the right to the end that alt
our people may enjoy the ever increas
ing blessings ot good government.
Resolved, That President James A.
Garfield, this tender and loving, thU
struggling and suffering, this pure ndt
brave man. now becomes the beloved
of this people and the admired of all
people. v it;uui:r mr ttuiwitin miit
our constituents assurances of deep.
and heartfelt sympathy, ami, keenly
appreciating the value oi such u lire tt
his country, we express the prayerful
hope that lie may soon bo restored to
the discharge of the important duties
for which lie Is remarkably qualified
and from which by a peculiarly infa
mous crime and an undeserved assault
for a conscientious exercise of proper
executive power, lie haa beeu tempo
rarily withdrawn.
fictoleed, That In State an in Na
tion, the Republican party is com
mitted to the course of economical
and honest administration; we de
mand the use of all necessary means
and tho enforcement of all law In
tended to prevent fraud and waste,
and we require a close aud watchful
guardianship over all of the multifa
rious interests committed to the care
of our organ Witt ion.
Resolved, mat in any revision nr
our tarill legislation which may oo
made care shall be taUen to Uisorlmu
nate in favor of our industries, and
thereby promote the causes which are
rapiuly niaKing America a coiiironnic
power in finances, as it already Is an
established leader in political thought.
Jteiolved, That the administration
cf Governor Hoyt merits our warmest
approval. We regard with satisfac
tion the results of a purely Republi
can Administration uuder his leader,
ship, in which all departments have
been faithfully conducted, the credit
of the State raised to the highest
point, and its finances placed upon a
proper basis without increasing tho
burdens of the people.
