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. Yours respectfully,
Chas. Miller.

Among tho many new flowers and

There has long been a demand for n

combines these two , qualities. The
leaves ii re purple, the root round, al

it is evident that those having the wellaro ot the Kt pul-I.eaii party lit
heart want mi repetition of the Del-.unater episode, for disie the fact us you
may there is greater cause for apprehension than is piihiiely udinitted. 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. I.vmiiHTY.
