The 13il v Review. Towanda, Pa., Monday, Sept. 19,1881. EDITORS . # S. W. ALVORD. NOBLE N.ALVOKD ** Daily Jtevietr" only 35 cenlt per mouth. Try it. A Grand Endorsement. In seconding the nomination of Sena tor Davies iu the late Republican conven tion, Hon. J. W. Lee, of Venango, made this neat little speech. More could hard ly be compressed in the same space. Senator Lee isla young man, but one of the ablest and purest of the public men oi Pennsylvania. Bossism cannot long keep such men to the rear. MR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION I desire to say at the outset that I shall not utter a word of disparagement of the gallant gentlemen who has already been placed in full nomi natiou before the Convention. I read with pleasure the resolutions passetl by the convention in his owu county, ex pressive of their coulidence in him wheu they placed him in nomination live days ago. I have not the least doubt that he is entitled to their most implicit confi dence. This may be conceded. But met as we arc to take counsel with each other for the party's welfare, it behooves us to speak plainly and eaudidly. Since Gen. Bnily has no demerits it is to be regretted if his nomination is possible or probable, that his merits and name are so little known throughout the State. It is his misfortune and not his fault that his ser vices to his country were rendered so long ago. We are charged with the responsible duty of selecting a candidate for a great party for State Treasurer of the richest Commonwealth iu the Union. A Com monwealth with over four millions of in telligent, reading, thinking,discriminating people. The battle this day inaugerated will be fought out at the polls less than two mouths hcnco by eight hundred thou sand voters. You must remember that this contest will take place in the lull that always succeeds a great victory, such as made James A. Garlicld President when political feeling was wrought up to the highest pitch. Two problems are presented. You must get the votes out at the polls and you must induce them to vote for your candidate when they are there. The people are not williug to be mere "hewers of wood and drawers of water." They demand to be allowed to participate iu the nomination of candi dates that they arc afterwards called up on to elect. No party however numeri cally strong can afford to do violence to the will of the people. Their opinions Should be consulted and their known Wishes respected. As we solicit their suffrages we should coiicilate their favor by placing in nomination the best possi ble candidate. We but act as their agents iu the accomplishment of this purpose. I have the honor to second the nomi nation of a candidate whose nomination the people have anticipated and approved. For two months his name has been her alded iu the newspapers through the State as the probable nominee of this Convention and there has been no word of adverse criticism. Ilis fitness has been conceded, his merit and strength universally allowed. When and by whom was it discovered that it would be un wise and inexpedient that he should be nominated? Not by the people, for his nomination received the sanction of their approval faom the llrst day his name was meutioued. It is with satisfaction that I speak of his public services because I speak from personal kuowledge. By his eloqueet and able advocncy of the right; by his intelligent discrimination in mat ters of legislation; by IDS unswerving de votion to principle; by his unflinching fi delity to the interests of the people, he deserves this nomination at their hands and they have cheerfully accorded it to him His name will be a platform, we shall need no other; his service a sure guarantee of success; his nomination a harbiuger of victory. Ilis public servi ces in the Senate have been as conspitu ous and meritorious as his conduct on the field was brave and gallant. In the name and in behalf of the people of the State, the west joins with the east in presenting to this Convention for State Treasurer, Senator Wtn. T. Davies. The Governor of Michigan appeals by telegraph to the people of the United States for aid for the sufferers by forest fires. He says the number of meu, women and children left without shelter is now estimated at fifteen thousand. Probably the estimate is below rather than above the actual figures. Suppose half the peo ple of this county were to be rendered homeless and shelterless before Wednes day, and left without any dependence tor food or clothing, except the charity op others! And that, with hundreds of near and dear relatives dead and unburied. Surely the Governor of Michigan will not appeal in vain. There is a long Winter ahead of the sufferers, and although im mediate needs may be supplied by gener ous contributions, there is no fear that more than will be needed will be sent. A noticeable feature of this year iu Southern trade has been the large amount of machinery shipped South. Mich of it is intended for the equipment of new manufacturing establishments in Geor gia, South Carolina, Northern Alabama and other Southern States. This evi dence of progress in a new direction is as important as it is encouraging. Let manufacturing interests become a pronii neu t factor in the prosperity of the South and we shall here very little of "free trade" from that quarter. Business Cards.
