WARREN will be Two of Our Next County Auditors. A convention that made no mis take was that held In the Court House on Tuesday, which placed in nomination the county ticket to be j elected this fall. No selfish motive exerted itself in the least and truej harmony and patriotism prevailed throughout the entire proceedings. The men selected at this convention did not seek the honor and responsi-, bility which has been placed upon them, but their high public character and records rendered them eminent ly worthy of the leadership entrust ed to them and of the -entire <• »• ii denee and respect of till voters of the county. After a caucus, sufficiently long enough for sound deliberation, held in the grand jury room, the ringing of the bell was a signal that the ap pointed hour for the opening of the convention was at hand. The court room was soon well tilled presenting a body of upturned intelligent faces such as is seldom seen—all that were there made a picture entirely befitting the occa sion—representative men who rep resent a party that successfully rep resents a great Nation.

President Black then announced that the purpose for which the del egates had assembled in convention bad been completed and upon motion to adjourn he dismissed the audience, which tiled slowly out of the room, feeling reluctant to part from the duties made so pleasant by using good judgment and harmony. Thus ended one of the most remarkable conventions and demonstration polit eal ever held <.r seen iu the county of little Sullivan a demonstration that will bear rich fruit in Novem ber next, for if it means anything at all it means that good sound reliable men will till the offices of our coun ty as the general voter can not over look the excellency of this ticket and aid in the efforts to elect it. Much worthy praise is justly due the delegates who so ably took part in naming a ticket that is actually superb, and carried out the true prin ciples of the party.

Number 111, PARTY HARMONY IN PHILADELPHIA Local Republican Ticket Nomi nated Without the Slight est Friction, BRIDGE COMING 101 FRONT. The New Mayor of the Quaker City Shows Force of Character in Politics and in the Performance of His Official Duties. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Aug. 22.—The Republi can county conventions were held in His city today, and they carried out tlie harmony program to the letter. Wencel Hartman was nominated for sheriff, Thomas Dugan for coroner, Wildemore and Hugh Black for coun ty commissioners and Judges S. W. Penuypacker and H. .1. McCarthy were named to succeed themselves. The lat ter is a Democrat, and an appointee of Governor Hastings. Both judges Will be named by tiie Democratic con vention, so that there will be no con tests over the judiciary at the Novem ber election. There will, however, be no real struggle over any place on the ticket. Every man in it will be elect ed by a big majority. There will be no factional opposition to any one of them and all elements of the party will unite in working for a large vote tft the election. The selection of the candi dates was made after many confer ences of the leaders of the contending factions with .Mayor Ashbridge, who has labored unceasingly to bring about harmony in the party organization in this city. He has succeeded in a re markable degree. The prospective nomination of Lieutenant Colonel Bar nett for state treasurer is well re ceived In this city. A number of the young soldiers of the Spanish-Ameri can war, who volunteered from this city, have gone to Harrisburg to work and cheer for Harnett. Among them are the active spirits in the movement for the organization of the proposed "Barnett battalion," which is to be formed after the adjournment of the state convention and to take'part in the campaign. ASHBRIDGE MAKING A RECORD. Ashbridge is going to make a record for himself as mayor of this city. He has already impressed bis personality upon the community bv bis independ ence and his businesslike way of golnfc about things. He will not permit him self to be dictated to by the-so-called Republican newspapers that never find anything good in anything that any official does, unless lie is of the David Martin faction in local politics. Now the mayor wants it known that he represents no faction of the Republi can party and that he proposes to con duct his office for the best interests of the people, lie has consequently made himself a mark for tlie assaults of the insurgents, and he is being misrepre sented daily by the same newspapers that go out of their way to attack Gov ernor Stone, and when they cannot find anything in liis official acts to criti cize, they assail him personally. Mayor Ashbridge has served notice on the editors of certain papers that if they go one inch beyond the line of proper and legit mate criticism he will proceed against tlietn in tlie criminal courts. "I am not thin skinned," remarked the mayor a few days ago, "but there is a limit to what 1 will stand. 1 do not propose to be bulldozed into doiny, what I do not think is right, and when 1 conclude upon a policy 1 shall carry it out. despite these newspaper attacks, the political character of which the people are fully familiar with." PENNSYLVANIA FIRST IN CIIARITV The new mayor is a worker as well as a tighter. He showed this in the masterly maner in which he responded to the call of the secretary of war for supplies for the stricken people of Porto Rico. He at once put the full force of his administration to work to have Philadelphia make a prompt anil gen erous response to the appeal for aid. He remained at his office until after midnight while this work was under way, coresponding with the officials of the war and navy departments and en listing the assistance of leading and public spirited citizens of the city and state The arrival of the Panther, the transport sent by the national govern ment to this city to take the supplies to the strieken people, found the warves filled with provisions ready to be loaded on board and shipped with out delay. Mayor Ashbridge at once got In touch with Governor Stone and soon had the supplies so kindly ship ped by the residents of interior towns of Pennsylvania, diverted from New York, where they were togo under the first notice sent out. and brought direct to this city where they were started off as the first shipment from the Keystone state. READY FOR THE ENCAMPMENT. Another evidence of the up-to-date methods employed by Mayor Ash bridge is shown in his management of maters in relation to the coming na tional encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. This has involved an immense amount of work. It has meant the collection ot large sums of money to meet the enormous expense that is being incured in the public decorations and the proposed entertainment of dis tinguished visitors. I— v.
