To the Republican Voters of Snyder County : Having been urged personally aud by letter by farmers, business men, laboring meu and other representative Republicans to stand for the nomina tion for Assembly, I desire to thank all my friends for their encouragement and assurances of support, but I could not, under the circumstance, consent to enter a canvass In the dead of win ter, when many of my personal frleiid on account of age be kept away from the polls. I know that my friends earnestly do sired me to become acaud'ulate, and I regret that our parly management of recent yea is has been Influenced by factional feuds and framed, in its prim ary work, more by a selfish than by popular Interest. I have always, so far as I pesroually have been concerned, been opposed to early primary nom inations for the reason that aside from preventing many voters on account of old ageor long distance aud inclement weather, from getting to the polls, they simply mean, in the first instance, "political speculation" benefit a few men at the expense of the majority. If I understud the public sentiment correctly, I am positive that the people themselves will, ut a distant time, in sist on an alteration of the rules so .as to make a mid-wlntcr nomination a political impossioility. I am at any time ready to strike a blow at that prejudice which takes from the voter and the tax-payer any part of his right to participate in public affairs and I stand prepared to assist my friends anywhere and at any time to restore our party practice to that good old method which will guarantee to every man a fair field and no favurs. Every citizen and every tax-payer should have an equal right with every other citizen and every other tax-payer in public as well as private matters and as a citizen and tax-nayer of Snyder County, I desire to assure my friends that no public or private call will be treated lightly by me when I am ac corded a just and fair opportunity to serve them.

A gam; of interested polilieiaos may succeed in forcing the nomination ol an oh. Jeetioimble candidate, but the average voter thinks for liiin.ielt' when it tomes to easting the ballot and not infrequently w hen tin- election returns come in, the nominee finds himself in the cold and very badly left. It does not pay to foist the creature of any sclf-conslituled leaders upon the pally under the guicof "tin people's candidate,'' for the people have pretty well learned to recognize who is oftheui as eoinpan d to those pliable statesmen who discover that they belong to the hard listed lmiirm ois only on occasions when they have an axe to grind. Amciicuti people will not nlv;iys he deceived. Mr. Andrews is a safe man to whom yon can pin your faith. His self-ini-molulion has made him admired by all parlies anil respected by all factions. They have implicit confidence i. i his Integrity. His olllcial pulchritude is without Haw or blemish. There is no position in the State that his talents do not lit him for tvith a hie.li degree of excellence. His impartiality and tact are predominant trails in his character. He is at all times lair and candid. His ready absorption of facts, power of analysis and skill in clas-ilii-atioii con stitute in him u most forceful combination; and his influence, thoinrh quiet is none the less poteuti d. thus enabling him to readily overcome obstacles that would daunt even u stronger man. To no class Is Wesley it. Andrews more popular than to the old soldier, and what lie has done for the grizzled veteran would till a volume of ample proportions. When the great hosts of the Grand Army of the Republic, as semble at the national capital next fall, when old acquaintances will be re newed and new ones formed, no IViuisylvaiiiaii will be more sought after by the delenders of the Keystone State than will be Comrade Andrews; and to them will be extended no heartier welcome than that from their follow soldier and companion of the weary march and the battle field.
