HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE, CONTINENTAL HOTEL, > PIIILADELPHIA, Pa., June2o, 1891 ) TO THE REPUBLICAN ELECTOR OF PENN SYLVANIA: After consultation and corres pondence with the members of the Republican State Committee, and by their direction, I hereby give notice that the Republicans of Penn sylvania, by their chosen representa tives will meet in State Convention at liarrisburg, Wednesday, August 19, 1891, at 10 o'clock, a. m., for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates for the offices of State Treasurer and Auditor-General, for the nomination of eighteen candi dates for Delegates-at-Lurge to the Constitutional Convention provided for in the act of Assembly, approved June 19,1891, and for the transact ion of such other business as may be presented. Notice is especially directed to the fact that, in accordance with the provisions of the last mentioned act. each Senatorial district is entitled to a representation of three Dele gates in said Constitutional Con vention, two of whom only can be members of the majority party in said district. The electors of each district are, therefore, requested to make proper nominations for Dele gates to said Convention, the rules governing the nomination of can didates for State Senator to be ap plicable. In this connection the chairman desires to call the attention of Re publican voters to the recommenda tion of the State Convention of 1882, that "they allow the greatest freedom in the general participation in the primaries consistent with the pres ervation of the party organization." WILLIAM H. ANDREWS, Chairman. FRANK WILLING LEACH, Secretary. The democrat who made the dis covery that tbere was £87,000,000 loss in the U. S. Treasury now than there >vas on the first of July, 1890 thought that he had found a veritable mare's nest. He was right about there being that much less money on hand, but in order to have made his statement complete he should have included the fact that since July 1, 1890, there has been paid out by the Treasury for the pur chase of bonds 113,810,843, just |iJG,Blo,B4i{ more than the reduction in cash spoken of. Thus another democratic campaign yarn is dis posed of. And so it will be to the end of the chapter. The thoughtful people of this country will not be stampeded by democratic misstate ments or partial statements of facts. There is no mystery in the republi can administration of the country's financiers ; the facts and the figures art» always accessible. JAMISON CITY ITEMS. \ Weather is very warm. E. J.

Fair just escaped but Andrews run ning to a stump abont three feet high got close to it when the log struck the stump breaking it off about 2 feet. The stump struck young Andrews on the left bide breaking his ribs which caused in stant death. It is supposed the young man never knew what hit him. He was in the employ of Sherwood & Davidge.
