State Chairman Walton and his associates in the direction ol' the Republican campaign are highly gratified over the enthusiastic re ception of Representative Tener and other candidates 011 their tour of the State. Mr. Tener and his associates on the ticket have made an excellent impression and have aroused the Republicans of the counties they have visited to a high pitch of enthusiasm. In his speeches Mr. Tener has emphasiz ed the good result of Republican admiiistration in Pennsylvania. He has made it plain that he in tends that his admiiistration shall be as satisfactory to the people as that of Governor Stuart. Kvery far minded man in this State will concede that the Republican party has never presented a better ticket than the one before the people this year. The delegates of the Ilarris burg convention could not 1 have im proved upon the selections they made. The ticket is composed of able and public spirited men. There is not the slightest doubt ol Republican success in Pennsyl vania this year. Mr. Tener and the other candidates 011 the State ticket will lie elected. That is clear to everybody. Rut the Re publican majority should be so large that it w ill be progressive. If the Republicans goto the polls they w ill not only elect the State ticket but will elect a solid Re publican delegation in Congress, and a State Legislature that w ill choose a Republican United States Senator. Then the Keystone State will have done its duty. It will have proclaimed to the country that it stands uncompromisingly by the principles of the Republican party in State and nation. It will have set a wholesome example in a year when enemies of the Republi can party are active, alert and hope ful. I)r. J. W. Murrelle of Athens is the guest of Mrs. John Smith. Pennsylvania Not "luiggard" in Conduct of Financial Affairs. 11l former papers the writer thinks ho showed conclusively that PeiMisylvni»iti has never been a "laggard" state in the constitution of internal improvements for the transportation of her coal, iron, lumber, petroleum, and farm pro ducts to market, and of obtaining needful supplies in return. He en devored to show that Pennsylvania, instead of being a "laggard" state in the cause of education, was a niong the very first to recognize the importance of the subject and provide means for tin* education of all the children in the common schools. It is now proposed to show that the old Keystone state has not been ••laggard", delatory, or slow in pro viding ample means for the yearly payment of her governmental ex penses. and the extinguishment of a public debt of more than $40,000- 000 incurred principally in digging canals. The Republican party, which has been in control of the state govern ment most of the time for fifty years, has been unjustly charged with burdensome and inequal tax ation of the people with the mis management of the public funds ex travagance in the public expendi tures and "grafting" by the pub lic officials. These untruthful charges caused by party animosity, w ill lie renewed and repeated daily and hourly from now until after election in November next. Let us examine this matter a little. To provide for the yearly govern mental expenditures, to pay the in terest 011 the public debt and finally extinguish it was 110 small under taking and could only have been ac complished by exceedingly able and far-sighted men who have been at the head of the government and who have successfully accomplish ed the desirable result. Every dol lar of the public debt has been paid and the interest stopped. Taxes have been imposed on the rail-roads, banks and other rich corporations, which provides ample revenue for all purposes without taxing farm ers' lands. Formerly the farmers' state tax was nearly as much as their county tax. but now every cent of it has been removed. In the entire fre dom from any debt Pennsylvania is not behind but far ahead of near ly all other states, and in their re lease from all land taxation, the farmers of this state are favored and benefited above the agricultur ists in most other parts of the Un ion. The editors and orators who declare that Pennsylvania is a "laggard" state, that her patient people have been misgoverned, plundered and disgraced by her public officials, have 110 evidence whatever to support their charges. 1 hey slander a great common wealth and its people either through ignorance or through mal ice. doubtless the latter.
