er's cemetery, and the funeral ser
vices were held in the Beformed

and impressive sermon by the min
ister was listened to with more than
usual interest. Bev. Haas spoke

tions which had beset the earthly
pilgrimage of the departed soldier.

county, Deo. 2, 1819, and was at the
time of his death GO years, 8 months

Standing Committee Meeting;.
The Republican Standing Com
mittee met ia the court house on
Saturday. One of the warmest bat-
ties that was ever waged for chair
man was the bone of contention.
The meeting was ealled to order by
F. H. Smith, temporary chairman.
Temporary secretary Grimm called
the roll and found all present but
George I. Flanders of Union town
ship. A motion prevailed to allow
Edwin Charles to be his proxy. Mr.
Charles declined and O. G. Rice the
other Union township committee
man was given two votes. The bal
lot for chairman resulted, Dr. A. M.
Smith, 20 votes ; G. W. Wagenseller,
18 votes and W. H. Grimm, 1 vote.
J. H. Rhoads of Mo a roe was elected
Secretary and Jerry Charles of Free
burg was elected Treasurer. The
following resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, The Republican candi
dates for President and Vice Presi
dent have been inaugurated under
the most favorable circumstances,
and the American people now have
an administration that is distinctive
ly American, we the representatives
of the Republican party of Snyder
county, affirm our devotion to the
cause of Republicanism pledging
ourselves to use our best endeavors
to secure the triumph of Republi
canism at the polls, at all times aod
under all circumstances. Therefore
be it
Resolved, That we ciil upon
Senators Quay and Penrose and
Congressman Mahon in whom we
have unlimited confidence, to use
their best endeavors to speedily
secure the passage of a protective
tariff law that will not only secure
sufficient revenues to meet the ex
penses of the Government, but that
will foster and protect American
manufactories and the best interests
of American workingmen.
lietoloed, That while we favor the
civil service policy of the Republican
party, we most heartily depreciate
the wholesale filling of the various
departments by persons utterly in
competent for the positions of th
late administration,1 and we call
upon our United States Senatora
and Congressmen td see all unworthy
appointees be removed and their
positions ' be filled bv mmn.f.1.1
Republicans.
Reiolved.Txii we endorse the
candidacy of R. H. Shindel, Esq., a
native of Snyder county for State
Treasurer, and call upon the Repub
lican party of the State to honor him
with the nomination, knowing him
to be a stalwart Republican, and n
gentleman in every respect well
qualified to fill the honorable and
reponsible position.
Reitoloed, That we cordially en
dorse the entire Republican county
ticket and bespeak its triumphant
election in November next.
