Next Governor.
In another place will be seen an inter
view with Ex-Senator Lee of Venango
Countv, on the subje«t of the next Repub
lican nomination for Governor, copied from
the Pittsburgh Com-Gasette. Senator
Lee. it will be seen, expresses an opinion
very frankly and strongly in favor of the
Hon. Thomas W. Phillips of Lawrence
county. To all in this county who know
Mr. Phillips the views expressed by Sen
ator Lee meet with a hearty endorsement.
Mr. Phillips is favorably known to the peo
ple of this county through his long and
extensive intercourse with them in the oil
producing business. He has done more for
'hem than any other man in that line, and
in all his dealings with them has been re
garded as a fair and honorable man. He
is also regarded as an able and competent
man. and one in evi-ry way qualified to
fill the position of Governor. From pres
ent appearances the candidates will be
numerous and the Republicans of this Co.
and the State will have plenty of good ma
terial fiom which to choose a candidate.
H-ivisit won the last National election
upon the Tariff issue, a defeat, or even a
small majority, in Pennsylvania this year
would be heralded throughout the country
as a reaction in favor of Free Trade. That
would be a serious menace to party suc
cess next year, when a Governor, 28 Con
gressmen, and a Legislature—charged with
the election of a Vnited States Senator
will be chosen. We cannot afford to run
anv risks. We must poll a full vote, and
carry the State by a handsome majority.
To do this, in a so-called "off year," an ex
traordinarv amount of effort is required.
Republicans! get to work, before it is too
late'
KXGLAJH) ha? ever been noted as a mer
ccnary nation and oftentimes national av
arice has cost it dear. A problem has
recently come up for solution which will
severely tax. the national powers of dis
crimination between the value of money
and loyalty of colonial subjects. Since the
exclusion of Chinese emigration from the
United States, the Celestials have flocked
to the ports of British Columbia in great
numbers, that being their only hope of get
ting a chance to compete with the Caucas
ion in the labor market. Many landed
at these northern ports in the hope that by
scattering along onr northern border they
could cross into our territory despite our
restriction laws. So great has been the in
flux to Canadian tetritory that our neigh
bors are beginning to feel the burden heav
ily. finding, as they do. that one industry
after another is being monopolized by the
heathen. Already the Canadians have
made complaint to the home government
of the dangerous encroachment upon their
industries. They have met with little en
couragement, however. The British Gov
ernment finds that it has a large and profi
table commerce with the Chinese, through
Hong Kong and other open ports. Tore
strict the immigration of Chinese would
l>e to offend the Chinese Government and
damage to this profitable commerce would
result The wealth of many leading Brit
ish subjects is at stake and their interests
•will count for far more than the rights of
the colonists. Canada may protest and get
augry if she pleases, but she will get no re
dress unless she goes to the very verge of
rebellion and independence.
There are some evidences that the bar
gain offered by Bismarck was likely to be
accepted. When the Czar hesitated, Bis
marck asked for an increased war appro
priation and hi.- general course indicated
war and uiadu it difficult for the Czar to
borrow money. Now the official journals
deny hi* asking the appropriation, the
sign-' are peaceful, the Czar gets a loan
from the Kothschilds and Austria is vex

The Wyoming, which arrived at New
York f rom Liverpool, last week, had two
men on board which gave the Captain con
siderable trouble. They are mountains of
K urn pea n flesh, called the Naucke broth

est gymnasts in all Europe. This is won
derful when one thinks that two brothers
aggregate jnst I*loo pounds in weight.
They could not sail from Uamburg simply
because there was not a berth big enough
for either brother. Htnil is 7 feet 0 inches
in height, and weighs 520 pounds. Wil
liam is also 7 feet tS inches and weighs 4!H)
pounds. On the Wyoming they had to
take the cabin on the deck. Their beds
■were prepared for them oc the floor. The
specialty oompany they are to travel with
will have two beds built, and these will
form part of the baggage of the company.
The Naucke brothers will carry these beds
on the tour of the country from New York
to San Francisco

A New Candidate.
From th<> Pittsburg f/asette of last Thurs
day wo take the following:
Ex-State Senator J. W. Lee. the jolly
anil rotund Republican leader of Venango
county, was at the depot last night on his
way to Philadelphia. Ho has been in the
city for two day* past attending to legal
business. Mr. Lee has been devoting his
attention to law since fcis retirement from
the Senate, three years ago, but he still
watches political affairs with interest anil
occasion ly takes a hand.
• Thomas W. Phillips, of New Castle,
would make a good Governor," said Mr.
Lee, upon being asked about the race for
the Republican Gubernatorial nomination
next year. ''Secretary of the Common
wealth Stone has a largo following in the
Northwftft, and Senator Delamater has
manv frieuds, too. So has Adjt-Gen. Has
tings. But the man I hear spoken of most
frequently among the oil country Republi
cans is Mr. Phillips. If he were in the
field, and I had an opportunity for the
nomination myself, I'd step aside to leave
him take it. He is a broad, liberal man
and would make a good Governor. He was
a great friend of General Garfield and as
sisted largely in the Indiana campaign in
1880. He has beeu for years extensively
connected with oil developments, one of
the leading industries of Pennsylvania. He
has been quite generally talked of in the
Western part of the State. There is no or
ganized movement as yet to bring out Mr.
Phillips, but it is a fact that he has been
more talked ol for Governor in my section
than anybody else.
"The Gubernatorial nomination appears
to be anybody's fight. There are about
half a dozen good men in the field, all of
whom have their friends, and no man can
tell at this early day who will come out
ahead. There is some very lively work
being done in several counties, and unusual
interest is shown in the result. This is
good politics and it means that when the
nomination is made it will be a good one,
and all hands will turn in and give the
nominee a big majority."
Ex-Senator Lee has been repeatedly
mentioned himself as a candidate for Gov
ernor, but he himself says nay, "I am not
a candidate in any sense of the word," said
he last evening, "You cannot put that too
strongly. I am not even a dark horse.
But when the proper time comes I expect
to work pretty hard for somebody else."
Senator Lee said politics were quiet in
his section. As one result of the recent
prohibition election there was more apathy
than usual this year. This would have its
effect upon the Republican vote, but ho
anticipated no serious results as there was
no organized defection. He felt confident
of Speaker Boyer's election.
The mention of Mr. Phillips' name for
Governor adds another to the already in
teresting list of possibilities for the Repub
lican nomination. Mr. Phillips is Presi
dent of the famons Oil Producers' Protec
tive Association. He comes from a solid
Republican county. Mr. Phillips is urged
particularly as a business man. It is said
of him that from SIO,OOO which he had
fourteen years ago he has since not only
paid off SBOO,OOO indebtedness but has
amassed a fortune of a round $1,000,000
besides. This has been done by oil-pro
ducing. At one time he had wells that
produced 8.000 barrels a day,and even now
his wells yield 1,500 barrels, which means
an income of just that many dollars every
twenty-four hours.

The W. C. T. U. Convention.
The W. C. T. U., of this State has been
holding a State Convention at I'hil'a., at
which the usual lively times were in order.
Mrs. M. 11. Jones, of Pittsburg, was elect
ed President after a hot. but onesided
tight; Mrs. 11. 11. Forrest of I'hil'a, Cor.
Sec; Mrs. P. Amier of Scranton, ltec. Sec;
and Mrs. W. U. Woods of Huntingdon,
Treasurer. There were so many candi
dates for Vice President that no one could
be elected to that important office. The
real fights of the Convention were over the
party question and the Prohibitionists won,
decisively. The press dispa tehes state
that it was only with the greatest effort of
the presiding officers that any business
could be transacted because of the inces
sant whispering, kept up by the delegates,
which is, to say the least, most incredible.
BUT two weeks remain for the Republi
cans of this county to perfect their ar
rangements for the election. We call up
on our committeemen aud all others who
have the success of the party at heart, to
put their shoulders to the wheel. The ticket
to elected at the coming election is numer
ically a small one, but every niau on it is
a tried Republican, worthy of support, and
entitled to every Republican vote. See to
it, friends, that the vote is out.
