The Re- publicans polled but about half their vote in the State, last year. I[ they poll but that proportion this year, Mr. Thropp’s plurality for Congress will be at least five thousand. And it will be much larger, as the entire vote will be proportionately larger. —Jolustown Tri- bune. BeEprorp county is to be congratula- ted upon its being given the nomina- tion for Congress.

Mrs, P. J Walsh, of Philadelphia, mother of Pri- vate W. J. Walsh, of Company D, Sev- enty-first New York regiment, wrote to ‘the War Department about September 1st, asking for information of her son. The boy’s father by diligent search ‘found him at Montauk Point, sick and neglected, and after much trouble se- cured a furlough for him on September 13th. Three days later, after having \ been first taken to New London, then Of Meyersaale Borough. | Or Most Seriously | there | Tue Republican ticket is at last com- | ; | selves,’even if iransported to the front gress, and the Republicans of the dis- | trict are all glad of that fact and proud | ; PA: 0 Fe Harbor, then back to Montauk Point, he was finally landed in New York and taken to St. Vincent’s Hospit- al, where on September 19th he died. Then Mrs. Walsh received a letter from the War Department, dated September 22d, saying it had no record of the sick- ness of Private W. J. Walsh and no knowledge of his whereabouts. —Jolus- town Tribune. Joserit E. Turorre, of Everett. who has been nominated to represent the Twentieth District in the next Congress, is admirably equipped for the import- ant duties of a Representative. The need of the hour is practical statesman- ship. Mr. Thropp was born and bred in Pennsylvania, where his long and successful connection with the iron business, his thorough and practical understanding of its many details, to- gether with a wide range of general in- formation, high character and enthus- iastic devotion to his State, render his election at this time a perfectly fitting one and secures to his constituents a champion worthy of the great interests he will be called upon to represent. He is a protectionist of the broadest type. and the Pennsylvania delegation, by his election, will be greatly strength- ened upon questions which must be of supreme interest for many years to come.— Philadelphia Press.

The election approacheth,and lo! the ubiquitous candidate wandereth to and fro and up and down in the land; and behold his face is pleasant to look upon and his honeyed words are cheering to the soul. His breath smelleth like myrrah and aloes, only a little strong- er, and the rose of Sharon bloometh upon his nose. Ile carrieth a bottle of precious ointment in his pocket, the smell of whiel: is like the smell of Leb- anon. He saluteth everybody Ife meet- eth with, “Peace be unto thee ; my soul panteth for thee as the hart panteth for the water brook. My soul cleaveth unto thee as the tick cleaveth to the dog’s hide, and nothing can part thee and me;” and straightway the friend addressed taketh a sniff of his bottle and goeth on his way rejoicing. He goeth into the house of the American sovereign and kisseth the whole litter of young bipeds, and saith, “Behold their like is not to be found from Dan even unto Beersheba!” He wendeth his way to the next house and doeth likewise. He extolleth the virtues of every man he meeteth to his face, and | permit goeth into his closet and shutteth the door when he wisheth to speak evil of | his neighbor. He loveth everybody ex- | cept the uncircumcised Philistine that | seeketh to get the office which he craveth. The candidate goeth to the syna- gogue on the Sabbath day, and sitteth in his pew the very picture of piety,and he giveth tithes freely; and when the night cometh, doth he not go into the | back door of the saloon and regale the voters with a fluid elixir that maketh their faces to shine as the brightness of and filleth their hearts with patriotism to overflowing? lle telleth the people, if they do not hearken unto | him, the star-spangled banner will trail the dust, the American eagle, with a | wild seream will fall from his perch flat upon his back, and, with his drumsticks pointing towards the zenith, give up | the ghost; and then Wall street and the | devil will take possession of the land ; but if he be elected Columbia will | come up out of the wilderness as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, and sun | But, behold, his opponent speaketh | with like American sovereign is in a straight be- knoweth not what to do.

The Right Man in the Right Place.. American Economist. The people of the Twentieth Penn-- sylvaniadistrict are to be congratulated upon the prospect of being represented in the Fifty-sixth Congress by so excel- lent a citizen and so staunch a Protec- tionist as Hon. Joseph E. Thropp, Sec- ond Vice President of the American. In this case the prospect amounts to a certainty, as, Mr. Thropp is the regular Republican nominee in a district with a normal Republican plurality above 10,000. He is a fine type of the successful Amer- ican business man—brainy, bright, vig- { orous in mind and body, of sterling in- | tegrity and high character—the man of all others best equipped to efliciently represent the large industrial popula- tion and the important business inter- ests of the Twentieth Pennsylvania dis- For years past Mr. Thropp has of his section, and his election to Con- gress by a flattering majority may be safely counted upon.
