Our readers may not be aware of
the fact that at the last sesson of the

was signed by the governor on Juuu

marriage lioouso now good in uuy
county in the stato, instoa 1 of sim
ply in tho county of issue. The
party performing the ceremony
must make tho roturn o tho officer
who issued tho licouso. It would be
well for clergymen and others au
thorized by the law to perform mar
riages, to make a note of the above
act, as there is a heavy fine for a
failure to proporly report within
thirty days all marriagos performed.
The act went into effect at once. In
all other respects the law remains
as it was.

There is a vicious warfare being
waged in Pennsylvania against Hon.
Matthew Stanley (uny and the citi
zens of Snydor County are invited
to cousider the following facts in
casting their votes at our Primary
Nomination on August third when
Sonator Quay and Mr. Gilkeson will
run as candidates for Chairman of
the State Central Committee.
1. Senator M. S. Quay has for
eight years represented his stato in
the Senate of the United States at
Washington, D. C, and within that
time he has not performed a single
act, not recorded a single vote.
which can toe ' critizised ' -bavin-been
against the interosts of the
citizens of his native State.
2. As a United St ites Senator he
has by his great personal iullueuce
and political prominence secured the
passage of more laws, which direct
ly benefit our State ami our Coun
try, than has any Senator ever sent
to Washington, from Pennsylvania.
As a Senator, Mr. Quay has al
ways been found at his post of duty
and has exercised a most patient,
watchful and faithful care of the
tho public, political and industrial
interests of Pennsylvania and had it
not been for his wide influence, his
eminence as a statesman and as a
Senator, this country never would
have hud tho McKinley law passed
through tho Senate, an act which
meant tho saving of millions of dol
lars to the peoplo of Pennsylvania
and of the United States.
1. In 188, one year after his elec
tion to tho United States Senate,
when other men who had been
prominent in tho political affairs of
our Nation stood back and refused
to lead the fight. Mr. Quay went to
Now York, accepted the Chairman
ship of tho Republican National
Committee and won tho election for
President Benjamin Harrison. The
peoplo of Pennsylvania ought to bo
proud of such a man uud Senator
Quay to-day is recognized through
out tho entire United States as the
loading Republican Chieftiati who
will be called to tho front next year
to manage tho campaign for tho
election of a Republican President.
5. Senator Quay is a candidate for
Chairman of tho Stato Central Com
mittee, and his success means tho
success of the Republican Party in
18:iG and tho election of a Republi
can President. His defeat would be
a loss to our State and Nation
which wo could not repair and would
bo tho greatest encouragement to
the Democrats of the laud.
(i. What is this fight against Son
ator Quay f It is a selfish battle
made against him by "Bobs" Magoe
of Pittsburgh the campaign Lobby
ist at Harrisburg and by "Bosses"
Martin and Porter of Philadelphia.'
These City Combines are formed of
the vory worst and most corrupt
politicians ever known and thev
want to defeat Seuator Quay, who
has always stood by the country dis
tricts, and they, themselves want to
get the political control of Penn-
sylvania, and run our State as they
i no the large cities. Should tlici-o
"Hog Combines" win, our State will
bo in the selfish grasp of the rity
politicians and the country districts
will bo "out iu the cold."
7. Senator Quay himself favors
the country because ho lives i:: the
country himself, and if we wish to
maintain our Political Independence
we must preserve our Stato against
tho corrupt influences of the large
cities, drive back these hungry
bounds and see to it that they do
not defeat our very best friend, our
great loader, Senator ST. S. Quay.
Let the Snydar county Republicans
vote for Senator Quay and show
these city chaps that they cannot
boss our county.
Attention, Republicans !
In accordance to the call of the
Chairman of the Stato Central Com
mittee, "That the Delegate to the
State Convention shall bo chosen in
tho manner in which Candidates for
the General Assombly are nomin
ated," the Election will bo held in
the several,' Districts of Snyder
County on Saturday Aug. I), between
2 and 7 o'clock P. M. to elect a Dele
gate to Stale Convention and also
submit to you the choice for Chair
man of State Central Committee

Some of Uncle Sam's Business.
Complaints come from tho pa

Office. For the past threo or four
mouths the good citizens of Monroe

newspapers, etc,: never r;oi.w
their goods. A note was sont to the
Prothonotary of this County about
six weeks ago with the feo for enter
ing tho same enclosed. Neither the
note nor the money has turned up.
It is a matter of justice to the
Postmaster and his clerk to sny that
no suspicion rests ou them.
They themselves are tho victims of
these depredations and are doing
everything iu their power to locate
