Bepublican Convention.
The rt-turn jihIciii of the Ucpubli
mn primary election of Satunlay

one o'clock ami computed the returns
as published elsewhere in the 1 ost,
The following resolutions were
adopted :
'Whkukas, We the representatives
of the Republican party f Snyder
Vo., convention assembled liehcving
it to be right and projxT that we
voice the sentiment ot a united party
at tins time, therefore lie it
Kksoi.ved, That we congratulate
the country upon its growing pros
jierity, and we recognize the fact
dollar wheat and the increased vol
ume of trade ami business in every
branch ot industry, is largely due to
the able and wise course of the ad
ministration and its co-ordinate
branch, the Congress of the United
States.
Rksoia'KH, That we deprecate
and denounce the unjust enforcement
of the Cleveland Civil Service Rule,
which filled the departments with
ultra Democratic partisans to the
exclusion of sturdy, honest and in
telligent Republicans. We Ix-lieve
that the only rule of appointment
should be for merit, honesty and in
telligence, and we call upon Presi
dent McKinlcy and his heads of
departments to suspend the unjust
rule and make all appoiuments ac
cordingly. And lie it further
Reholved, That we call upon
Senators Quay and Penrose and Con
gressman Thad. M. Mahon to use
their best endeavors to procureamo
diBcation of the present unjitst Civil
Serv:ce Rule.
Resolved, That we cordially
and fully endorse the ticket this day
nominated; that we jxiint with pride to
the fact tnat Senator M.S. (iuay,Con
gressmairThad. M. Mahon and Dr.
A. M. Smith, our candidate for As
sembly, one and all, served their
country in the hour of danger upon
the field of battleand are worthy of
our fullest confidence and support,
and that we lcycak for one ami all,
from Congress to Associate Judge,
tin; loyal support of the wirty.
Kb.ui.ved, That Hon. Thad. M.
Mahon Ik- cmjiowi'red to select his
own conferences.
Reoi.veii, That we Ix lieve that
the sentiment of our county is al
most unanininous for that gallant sol
dier, Col. Win. A. Stone, of Alleg
heny, for (iovernorof Pennsylvania.
We therefore most cordially endorse
him and roMi-lfulIy request that
or sfcit e delegate, John F. Stetler,
Fxjr.,rast his vote for him and use
his influence to secure his nomination.

Mrs. Sliaw is a very genial and
lady-like woman. She rendered

at the piano. There seemed to be
more sociability displayed among
the chorus than is usual at such
times. The variety of selections
rendered at the concerts was com
mented on by the audience and duly
appreciated Dr. Perkins and
