II r, batrman, and gentlemen of tho con

i thank you most cordially for this evi
dence of your good win ami eonndinoe,
and if your choice be ratilled at the p 'lis
next November, as I expect it. will lie, 1
promise you most earne-it and loyal ser
vice in behalf of the people. Kxpericnco
is worth a good deal iu HsrrisbQrg when
you consider that during each legislative
session a thousand lulls aro presented, and
it is a task iu itself to determine tbe good
from the bad. If l go back n,-xt. January,
I go bick with tho experience of two
terms. with many friends to aid
in tho battle for the people's in
terests. Kow I want to say frankly
to this convention, nnd I believe it is jus.
lico to myself and to my friends to
sny it now that when I cniuo from
Harrisburg I had 110 thought of run
ning the third limo for your suffrages;
and until ncry recently did I enter tho
Campaign, Hut when 1 returned from
liarrisburg verious guntlemen of inllu
encu, iu fact, dozens aud dozens of people,
uiany of them from tho North End, told
me frankly that two years before they had
opposed me, but that they Were anxious
and determined to do ail iu their power to
baye me returned again. I gave them no
assurances, but tho sentiment kept 011
growing. My friends came to mo repeat
edly, and finally I stated that if it was tho
wishes of the people of the First legisls
tlve district that i should again go to liar
risburg, I would do their bidding.
I stated hrf-ira that 'lure wire some
thing! to learn there that would be of in
terest to the people of this district, and lbs
only reason, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen
of tbe convention, tba 1 am bejoro you
today as your candidate, is that I may bo
of sufficient set vice to the people to war
rant their returning me to Rarrisburg,
Mr, FaM then explained tho contro
versy ho bad With Mr. Von Storoli dur
ing his lust campaign disposing th
allegations made that there was any
binding agreement on hiipirtorbti
friends at n conference bold at that
time, i.b Mr. Von Storcli publicly and
In print refuted to abide by the result
of the conference, resulting finally in
Mr. Farr running hit campaign with
stickers, Secretary Uarrity refusing to

Cordially for their evidence of good

Not only in the inaotmmtof good
moaiurea, but also in his -IT .i ts to de
feat bad men-tires, has Mr Farr been
of semes to the people. In oue par
ticular one Mr. Farr saved the city of
Soranton serious losses in taxation by
his defeat of 4 vicious bill to tax at
half ratal agricultural lands of ten
acres or more lti cities of the third
class. There are nearly 5.000 acrea of
this Kind of land in tho city of Scran -ton.
It is nnsessed by the ncro and
thotl who own single lots in the vicin
ity of such lands have learned that
they pay us much tax, eometimss more,
for a lot as the owners of the acres pay
011 an aero. The bill above mentioned
to tux these ncres at half-rules phased
the Hlattf eenato at the last session. Mr.
Farr mude the tight against its passage
iu thu hous., and is accorded tho credit
of having defealei it, thus saving lo
Scrnutoii and other cities of the third
class thousands of dollars of just tux
that would have been lost by tho oti
uctmeiit of that bill,
