After the roll of delegates bad been called the nominations were made as followsThe President announced the nomination of Pro thonotary, Register and Recorder to be first in order. Upon motion of Ulysses Bird it was deemed by the convention inexpedient to make a nomiuation for this office. Con sequently no nomination was made. The next in order was the nomina tion for Sheriff. On motion of E. V. Ingham this nomination was laid over until after the other business of the convention had been finished. The next in order was the nomina tion of Coroner. Dr. M. E. Herr mann of Dushore was the unanimous choice of the convention and was made the nominee. The Standing Committee was then elected. They aro as follows: STANDING COMMITTEE. Jlem ice —Thos. Shell.

Dunham in a neat little speech made a motion that the con vention endorse the wise, honest and na trio tic administration of President Harrison and that we cordially endorse the candidacy of Henry K. Boyer for State Treasurer and pledge him our best efforts to secure his election. Carried. This finished up the entire busi ness with the exception of putting a candidate in the field for the office •i Sheriff. The delay in this mat ter was caused by the absence of the candidate in view who was inter view Lug the loaders of the l'rohibi tion party residing in town by whom it was stated, were about to put a full ticket in the field. Wra. J. Lawrence, the choice of the Repub lican party for the nomination of this office refused 'to accept should this rumor prove true and went to investigate hinmelf. On learning ndthing definafe in relrftion to the mutter he was forced to accept the nomination. When his name was propopod the convention applauded him and it was with much difficulty that the president ceased the cheer after which E. V. Ingham nominated Wra. J. Lawrence df Dushore for Sheriff. The nomination was sec onded by a large number of dele gates. The motion was then made by acclamation with a hurrah by the convention. Thw concluded the work and on motion adjourned. F. H. INGHAM, M. C. MILLER, Secretaries. ■Following is a sketch of the life of Mr. Lawrence. Wm. J. Lawrence, the nominee of the Republicans of Sullivan county, for the office of Sheriff, was born upon his fathers farm in (Jherry twp.,about one mi'e from Dushore lioro, in 1856. His father, John Lawrence Esq., was at one time Sheriff of the county, and is one of its best known and most prominent citizens. Mr. Lawrence Rved with his father, worthing upon the farm in summer and attending school during the winter until he reached the age of sixteen, when he determ ined to start out on his own responsi bility to secure an honest living by means of his only resources, a good mind, a sound body and a willing ness'to work. During the winter of 1873 and li he taught school in Cherry twp. The following year fee went to Wilkesßarre and engaged in the lumber business where he remained for about a year, wheu he decided to loam the carpenter trade. It was about this time that the panic of 1877 began and in consequence of the numerous failures and the great scarcity of money, work at this trade was almost entirely sus pended. The wages were so low and the work so wncertain, that it was impossible for a young man learning the trade to earn a liveli hood. The outlook was certainly discouraging but Mr. Lawrence with | a determination to surmount diffi culties characteristic of bitn, resolved | that although compelled to seek other employment until better terms shouki warrant him in completing, the trade, he would ultimately re-1 turn to it and master it. He ac~ oordingly went to work in the mines and passed through that discourag ing period of striKcs and hard times. Only those who have had the actual | experience as miners during a pro-i longed 6trike or though a period of great finaucial embarressment can form a just estimate of the trials and privations incident to a miner's life. In the winter of 1878 he was very seriously injured by a mass of falling rock, in consequence of which he nearly lost his life. Up on his recovery he returned with his family to Dushore where he be gan working at his trade. Here he remained until after the great fire at Milton in which place he contracted for the erection of several buildings. Upon his return to Dushore he form ed a partnership with his brother, Charles Lawrence, also a carpenter. In connection with this thev have recently opened a furniture and un dertaking establishment. Mr. Law rence is regarded as an exceptionally strong candidate. Ilis clean record, his freedom from all taint of partisan politics, his high character as a man, his excellent standing in business circles, and his kind, obliging, and unassuming manner, render him worthy of the support of the voters of the county regardless of party affilliationa. Mr. Lawrence merits the success he has acheived. He has risen by dint of hard work and industry alone. lie is a friend to the workingman for he is one him self, and if elected to the responsi ble office of Sheriff, the people of Sullivan county, ean rest assured that its duties will be carefully aud conscientiously performed.

Sept. 14th, 1889. llarrlaun and the Soldier*- President Harrison's action in tbe case of Commissioner Tanner is wise, just and brare. It shows that the President has the courage to do his duty in the face of difficulties. Corporal Tanner is unquestionably popular with the Grand Army. His shattered lioibs, his persona heroism, his dashing speech, his ex altation of tbe soldiers above every thing, all give him a high pkieo iu 'the hearts of his comrades. There was danger that the displacement of such a man, t hough actually in their interests, would bo misunderstood around the camp-fires. Yet in the face of sudh a risk'the President has ■seen his fluty, and lia9 courageously done it.i Mr. Tanner has 'brought this doom on his own head. It is personal to him and means no issue *wlth the soldiers of the Republic. He has "been his own worst endmy. His weakness and folly have brought their own punishment "Well-mean ing and liigh-spiritetl, the place proved too big for him. His indis cretion and lack of sense aroused antagonisms, excited resentments, prtt the Administration in a false position and injured the'cause of the soldiers he meant to serve. He was insubordinate and defiant with his superiors. He was truculent and insulting wiith his peers. He put his liberal policy in the most extrava gant manner and in the worst light. With his prodigal bravado and his foolish statements he managed to create the public impression that, without being dishonest, he was a loose and reckless spendthrift lie thus became an embarrassment not only to the Administration but to the true interests of the soldiers themselves. The President has proved a better and wiier friend of the Grand Army 'than Mr. Tanner. No policy of pensions can prevail without popu lar support. Mr. Tanner was arous ing opposition on all sides. Ilis lavish promises and inconsiderate utterances created a feeling that he was ready to strip the Treasury re gardless of all other consequences. ; The result was that every proposal j from him Was received with huspi- I cion. A measure which from other | hands might encounter no criticise | was instantly under fine when heap- i peared as its sponsor. He was in-1 cessantly attacked by the whole ! foroe of the opposition, and had put it out of the power of his friends to defend him. Thus, while he honest ly intended to be the best friend of the soldiers, he was in reality their worst foe. His resignation re* moves a fatal handicap, and permits the just consideration of pension measures on their merits. The Ad* ministration had declared itself in favor of a liberal policy with the soldiers of the Republic, and Gener :al Harrison, himself one of their number, will have abundant oppor tunity to show that he is also one of their wisest and truest cham pions. The country will sustain and ap-> plaud the President. He found ft weak spot in his administration, and he has manfully made a change. The soldiers themselves will come to see that it is for theirgood.and the people will recognize it ag the act of a sincere, earnest, couragoous, high minded Executive. — 1 T. F.
