To the Republican Electors of Pennsylvania:
After consultation anil correspondence with
the members of the Republican State Committee,
and by their direction, I hereby give notice that
the Republican of Pennsylvania, by their duly
chosen representatives, villi meet in Stale Con
'' vention at Ilarritburg, Wednesday, August 19,
1891, at 10 o'clock A. M., for the purpose of plac
ing in nomination candidates for the offices of
Slate Treasurer and Auditor General, for the
nomination of eighteen candidates for Delegates-al-Large
to the Constitutional Convention pro
vided for in the Act of Assembly approval June
10, 1891, and for the transaction of such other
b uslncss as may be presented,
Noliceis especially directed tolhefact thai, in
word'ince with the provisions of the last men
tioned act, each Senatorial district is entitled to
a repreientatlon of three delegates in said Con
stitutional Convention, two of whom only canbe
tnembrrs of the majority party in said district.
The electors of each district are therefore re
quested to make proper nomlntUions for dele
gates to satd convention, the rules governing the
nomination of candidates for Sxite Senator to
be applicable.
In this connection the Cialrman desires to call
the attention of Republican voters to the recom
mendation of the State Convention of 1832, that
" they allow the greatest freedom in the general
participation in the primaries consistent with
the preservation of the party organisation."

THE "POST" AND PENSIONS.
- 7 Tho Evening Post complains bitter
tly because the pension roll If) lucreas
ing at ft rate which will carry the
number of names on It "up to about
000,000, or more than four times the
tiital as far back ns 1878," and asks
where Is thlB thing to stop?" It
ought not to stop until every old sol
dier who is entitled to a pension gels
It. Does the Post dispute that propo
sition ? Does it advise the Democratic
party, of which it Is an ally, to stop it
short of that point? Does it advo
cate the repeal of the, present pension
Jaws? Does it advice tho next House
of Representatives, which is Demo
cratic, to refuso appropriations for the
payment of pensions? This ia a fea
ture of Democratic policy, in which
about 1,400,000 old soldiers in the Nor
thern states are deeply interested,
and as to which they want a definite
avowal of the Democratic-Mugwump
Intentions. Perhaps the Post will
lye It to them and then, again, per-
aps it will not. JV. Y, Press,

Likcside stands to-day tho peer of many
ot tho most famous resorts of the country
Thoro is no placo on tho continent that
possesses more natural advantages and by n
judicious oxpendituro of mouoy tho artificial
advantages can be so added as to mako tho
placo second to no resort in any of tho
states.
Thero is a mint of money in Lakebido for
tho company that has tbo placo in hand.
Tho Pottsvillo Republican describes tho
place as follows : "Lakeside, with its beau5
tiful surroundings, is tho haven of rest in
tbo midst of a wido and stretching grovo
entirely separated from tho busy world
without. Notwithstanding its roughness
of surfaco and goneral storillty, the anthra
cite coal region posaosses many advantages
as a place for rosldenco and pleasure. Its
elevation above the sea levol secures pure
air and a healthy climate, while tho mag'
niflcent scenery with which it abounds is
unsurpassed by anything in tho country,
Much labor las been oxpondod to add tn
tho attractions with which naturo has been
so lavish at Lakosldo Park. Hero and there
through the woods are nlcoly cloarod walks
loading into shady labyrinths, delightful in
their retirement. Tho grounds occupy 200
acres, twouty-slx of which aro covered by
two lakes that produce tho finest spring
water loo in Pennsylvania; during tho win
ter.and.stnckod with bass and salmon.afford
excellont flhlng and boating to oxcursion

Tho improvement company says that by
tbo opening of the summer season of 1892
it Will havo a largo hotol on tho grounds,
will havo bathing houses bordering tbo
lakes and tho beautiful knoll that slopes so
gracefully to tho beautiful body of water
will be studded with handsome cottages of
exquisite design.
Some farmers who llvo in tho vicinity of
Lskesido and who look upon tho advent of
tho improvement cmpany as tho red moo

also wise enough to see that overy dollar

TUB POLKA.
Tho popularity of Lakeside as a resort in
tho day time has been established. On
Tuesday last six thousand pooplo from ail
parts of Kastorn Pennsylvania were thero
and thero was not one who did not speak of
the placet with enthusiasm.
A few days ago it was decided to test
Lakeside as a resort for moonlight parties.

Towards dusk noai-ly two hundred
couples arrlvod at Lakotide by rail and
carriage). Tbey were Indies and gentle

The first thing tbo visitors turnei their
attention to was tho immense dancing
pavilion. Tho structure, in tho language
of somo of the ladies, was "nerfeollv
grand." Then tbolr attention was turned
to the lakes.
Stand upon any of tho knolls surround
ing the lakes at Lakesido on a moonlight
night and watch tho reflection of tho
moonbeams upon tho crystal surfaco as tho
tiny crafte with the marry voyagers ply to
and frj. Just try it some time. Tbo
artist's brush has never pictured naturo as
hodisnlavs herself at Lkiirln DM n miv-m.

THE QUADIUIXH.
Half an hour on the water was followed
by aslrolUUrough the gioyo opposito the
ttotltng park. Then tho preparatory5
strains of the lamous Schoppa orcli9stia
shualled the dancors to tho pvilion aud a
few minuto3 later tho couples were march
ing over tho spacious floor.
Tho intorior of the dancing pavilion pro
sents a splendid appearance whon ilium!
natod. The plan upon which tho building
was constructed is not unlike thoso of thn
long, Queen Ann6tyleof hotels, along Ihe
Atlantio coast. On tbe sido of tho build
Ing fauing the railroad is an outsldo cov
oiod piazza twelvo feet wide and extending
tho entire length of tbo building. From
this piazza a full view of Iho dancing flour
may bo secured by means of largo win
dows, with which the building is plant!
ful y supplied. At ono end of tbo build
ing. Inside, aro two broad stair-cases that
load to a wido balcony extending tho
length of the building, on each sido. At
the opposito ond is a stago for tho orchestra.
A largo Chickering piano rests upon the
stage, which, by tho way, is large enough
for concert purposes. At this end of the
building thero is au annex, which is being
titled up as an ice croam parlor and restaur
ant This parlor is largo enough to accom
modate nearly throe hundred pooplo at ono
timo.
The hnp was a splendid tuccess and it
will no doubt bo followod by a number of
liko ovents before the season closes.
Thus the popularity of Lakeside as a
moonlight resort is ostabllsbod. As ouo is
homeward boupd on the train he overhear"
the oozing ot onthusiasm : "Why, I had
no Idea that there was such a plaoe in tho
ooal regloni." "What a delightful placo it
is. I am sure I would like to llvo there."
"I oannot seo .why pooplo want to travel
hundred of miles for a health resort when
thero Is ono at their door. I am delighted
with it."
"Shenandoah," yells tho conductor. As
I stroll homeward I bear the chordB of
"Moonlight mi tho Lake." There it plenty
ot it at Lakoiide.

Charles O. Palmer, of this town, has
been suggested as a suitable person for tho
nomination for Sheriff on the ltepubtlcan
ticket. While the Hkkald believes thoro
aro many other available men for tho posi
tion in the party, it must be admitted that
Mr. Palmer would mike a formidable
Ottiididate and oould be elected. Uo is
well known throughout the county as a
hard-working and onsclenlious miner
and, no doubt, he would be accoptablo to
U pirties. Although the IIkkalo is
4ltclind to other matorial at present, it

Palmer.

Joo Well, of Pottsvillo, who is seoking ,
tho Democratic nomination for Sheriff, was
it Lnkosido on Tuesday and circulated as
Ane of tho most jovial Germans on tho
grounds. "Joe" made a favorable im
pression, as usual.
Thoro ia no longor any question as to who
tho Democrats will nominato for Judge
this fall. Tho nomination of John A.
Nash, Esq., of Poltsville, is oonooded.
Among tbo.latest candidates nnnouncod
for delegates to the Constitutional Conven
tion is that of John ,1. Coyle, of Mahanoy
City. Uo is popular and no doubt would
add strength to the Republican ticket, be
ldes being deserving f tho honor at tho
hands of his fellow workers.
