OUR CANDIDATES.
On NovemlxT Nth every freeman
in Pennsylvania will lie called upon
to cast his ballot to elect a Governor
and other officers lor the ensuing
terms. It is a sacred trust reposed
in each and every individual to take
part in the government of his coun
ty, state and nation. The republi
can party has placed itself on record
as the party which has demonstrated
its ability to govern this country
through all manner of ordeals. Af
ter the direful control of G rover
Cleveland, the Republican party re
stored business, encouraged industry
and reconstructed the national policy
in harmony with prosperity. For
the important office of Governor of
the Commonwealth the Republicans
have nominated
COL. WM. A. STOSE.
He with his colleagues on thestate
ticket, make up an array of soldier
candidates. Gen. J. I'. S. Gobin,
for Lieutenant Governor, is a hero
of two wars. In addition to this he
served his state as the Commander of
the 3rd Ilrigade of the National
(iuardsof Pennsylvania, under whose
gallant command the writer had the
pleasure to serve for a term of en
listment. Gen. J. W. Lntta for
Secretary of Internal Aflairs is a
soldier of good repute among Snyder
County veterans. W. V. Porter for
the Supreme Court, Hon. Calusha
A. Grow and Hon. S. A. Davenport
tor Congrcssmen-at-Large are not
entirely unknown among the Re
publicans of Snyder County. The
State ticket is certainly made up of
.1 brilliant array of Republican war
heroes and they will command the
loyal support of every republican.
IlOJf. T. II. MAIIOX.
Congressman Mahon is too well
known to require an introduction at
our hands. He was a faithful, loyal,
patriotic soldier and has proven him
self an able conscientious representa
tive in the Hoiiscof Representatives
of the United States. Helms care
fully guarded and protected the in
terest of every soldier in his district.
He has urged the dcjiartment in
more than NOO cases to hasten the
consideration of tension claims at
the Department. In the House, he
has stood faithful to all legislation
for the benefit of the country at
large never forgetting the interests
of the jteopleof the Eighteenth Con
gressioual district. His unanimous
nomination at the recent conference
at Harrisburg was a greater compli
ment than is usually extended to
Congressmen for a third or fourth
term. His past record is a sufficient
guarantee of his future conduct.
IR. A. M. NMITII.
This is the year a legislature will
lx; elected to convene in January,
Dr. A.M. Smith won the nomination
last January by a nice large major
ity and he will be elected ou Nov.
8th. Dr. Smith is an affable gentle
man, a skilled physician and will
make an able representative. He
descends from good stock, being a
grandson of Hon. Ner Middleswarth
who represented this section in Con-
gress during his prime. He is a
gentleman of fine qualities, a pro
gressive citizen and a ready talker.
He was a soldier in the gallant 49th
P. V. I. and his loyalty to the sol
dier's interests has been fully proven
since the establishment ofthe pension
board in this place. He promises tn
represent the intents of Snyder
County und in doing this he is do
ing Ins lull duty.
IIO. E.T.GEMBEBLIXe.
lhere seems to be an unwritten
law in the government of the Re
publican party of Snyder County,
that if an oflicc holder serves his
people faithfully for one term, he
should have u second term. This is
Judge (Jeniberling's position at the
present time. I le is a poor man and
deserves re-election.
G. A. BOTDOBF.
IiJist on the list comes the office of
County Surveyor. It too is an im
jKirtant iwsition. Mr. IJotdorf re
sides at Frwburg and will make a
iaithlul and dutiful official.
PHILIPPJNE ANNEXATION.
Such an acquisition would not
strengthen us in any respect. On
the contrary, it would Ite a constant
drain upon our resources without any
substantial compensation fortheout
lay. hven when not in a state of
actual insurrection, the people are
turbulent, cruel, and unmindful of
the rights of persou and proj)erty,
and it will require a most vigilant
administration ot the law by honest
and capable officials to preserve or
der among them, even in the most
enlightened partsof the islands, while
in some pnrts it is at least doubtful
whether this can lie done at all.
Spain has tried it for more than three
centuries, except in the Sulu group,
and has signally failed. Millionsof
dollars have been expended and
thousands of lives have been lost in
a vain effort to enforce obedience to
the laws and customs of a country
having a form of ecclesiastical and
civil government which they were at
least partially able to understand,
and yet, when the hotirof trial came,
Spain found them her most malignant
and savage enemies. If we acquire
the islands we may have the same
experience. Reing incapable of self
government, they must be control led
for a long time, even as to their
locail concerns, by legislativeand ex
ecutive authorities of a government
six thousand miles distant.
They will constitute the most ex
posed part of our national domain,
and will require a much larger ex
penditure for protection than any
other equal area within its limits.
In all great wars the nations having
colonies and outlying dependents
have found them to Iki her most
vulnerable parts; and nearly every
island in the seas has passed, at some
period in its history, from one sove
reign to another by the operations
of war, most of them having chang
ed masters many times. If we nc-
iiure the Philippines, we will find
it more difficult to defend them a-
gainst any great Eurojiean naval
jMiwer than it will tie to defend the
ooastot the United States against
the same power. They will odd com
paratively nothing to our strength
or prosperity in time of peace, and
they will Ite a positive weakness to
us in time of war. JohnG. Car
