THE REPUBLICAN. W. U. CHENEY, - - - Editor. FRIDAY. AUGUST 9, 1893 fall lor Ntate Convention. TO TDK ItKPCBMOAM ELECTORS OF PBNH svLVANta: I am direoted by the Republican State Committee to nnnounce that the Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen representatives, will meet in State Convention at Harrisburg, Pa., on Wednesday, August 28, at 11 o'clock a. m., for the following purposes, to wit: For the nomination of one Candi date for State Treasurer, six candi dates for Judges of the Superior Court, and for the transaction of such other business as may be pre sented. I hereby call attention to the fol lowing rules declared to be perman ent rules of the Republican Parly in the State of Pennsylvania at the State Convention held May 23, 1891, as follows: "That the delegates to the State Convention shall be chosen in the manner in which Candidates for the General Assembly are nominated." "That representation in State Conventions shall be based upon the vote cast at the Presidential or Gub ernatioral election immediately pro ceeding, one Delegate being allotted to each Legislative District for every two thousand Republican votes, and An additional Delegate for a fraction exceeding one thousand votes, each district to have at least one Delegate." By order of the Republican State Committee. B. F. GILKESOX, Chairman. Attcßt: JERK B. REX. A. D. FETTEROLF, Secaretaries. Is it Ingratitude to Mr. Quay. Judging from the amount of mat ter printed on the subject one would suppose that Mr. Quay was the crea tor of all the prominent men in the Republican part}' in Pennsylvania. His friends talk of everybody who is inclined to favor the Governor and Mr. Gilkeson in the factional fight, as ungrateful to the man who made them all that they are. We may be a little bickward in political matters, or may not be sufficiently informed about the work ings of political machinery, which may account for our belief that in stead of Mr, Quay making so many smart aud prominent men they really made him. 11 is fair to assume, and history will bear out the assertion, that men are not made by roan. Tney are born, and instead of Mr. Quay mak ing them he merely discovered cer» tain ones who possessed the ability to assist him in his leadership and whatever compensation a compara tive few received through his position in the way of patronage, was well earned by services in his behalf rendered. Because they have for many years performed services, of which he was the chief beneficiary is 110 reason why they should be ex pected to continue to do so when other conditions and circumstances present themselves, as we find them in the present issue. Mr. Quay as an acknowledged leader, could easilj' command the services and assistance of the party workers when the best interests of the part} were at stake but when only personal supremacy, without any redeeming features is involved it is altogether another matter and the old man will discover that he reconed without his host. Mr. Quay was elected to represent Pennsylvania in the United States Senate and if he faithfully perforins his duties there it is all that his con stitutents expect of him. hut when lie neglects his high office in the Congress of the nation to come back and undertake to direct legis lation in the State it is more than the people will stand. Judge Woodward of Wilkesbarre, has received his commission to serve on the judgeship contest cominisHion. A six-ycor old girl in YVilliamsport who was accustomed to walk in her sleep, crawled out of a third storv window the other night'and fell 30 feet to the ground. With the ex - ception of a few slight brusis the little one was uninjured. President Cleveland enme into office in March, 1893, with a cash balance in the Treasury of $124,128,- 088, and the interest bearing debt was >585,000,000. By borrowing $117,000,000 by the two issues of 5 per cent, bonds and 902,500,000 on 4 per cent., the government has rais ed its interest bearing debt to about $"4T,000,000, and by refusing to pay debts overdue has raised its cash balance to $193,826,592. But all these operations do not serve to hide the fact that the change in the reve* nue system, to which the party in power sacrifices everything else, has left the government without revenue enough to meet its necessary expen ses. It is so often said that the Republican administration left the government in difficulty, notwith standing the actual cash* balance on hand, as above slated, that it nay be well to recur to the fact that the actual revenue fell only $5,000,000 below the expenditure* for the eight months of the fiscal year preceding the inauguration of President Cleve land. Under Ihe old laws there had been for fears no difficulty, and would bare been none had those laws remained in force without the threat pf a ehange of policy. Judge and Mr#. SitUer of Tunk bannock have returned from their western trip aa far as Owaaca l.ake, near Auburn, N. Y., where they are rusticating at the Judge'* old borne. Frank Middeudorf of Cherry, while attempting to board a moving L. V. freight train at Satterfleld on Thursday last, was thrown to the ground, his head striking the step of the car, fracturing Ills skull quite seriously; his foot was also run over by the train and it is rumored that the injured member will have to be amputated. Other than this, his friends have hopes of his recovery. lutcreatlng to Tax Collectors. Among the laws passed at the re cent session is an act for divesting the line of taxes assessed auain-«t real estate sold at sheriffs and other judicial sales. The preamble to this act sets forth that many persons have bought real estate at judicial sales, and afterwards been required to pay taxes levied on the property before such sales took place, ing great hardships on purchasers, and uncertainty has arisen whether sheriffs or other officers mating the sales should pay the taxes out of the proceeds in their hands. The new law provides that the lien of all taxes now levied, against anj' real estate shall be divested by a judicial sale, if the amount realized shall bo sufficient to pay such taxes. All officers having takes to collect against any land advertised to be sold, and all commissioners, before taxes have been certified for collec tion, must notify the sheriff of the amount of taxes against such proper ty, and the sheriff must pay these tuxes out of the proceeds of sa'e, provided, as above mentioned, there is enough money in his hands for the purpose.
