THE SUREST .BO AD TO WEALTH IS THBOXJGH LIBEEAL ADVEETISING
To the Republican Electors of Petinsylvania:
After consultation and correspondence with
the members of the Republican Stale Committee,
and by their direction, I hereby give notice that
the Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly
chosen representatives, will meet In Slate Con
ven'ton at Harrisburg, Wednesday, August ID,
1891, at 10 o'clock A, if., for thepurpose of plac
ing in nomination candidates for the offices of
Slate Treasurer and Auditor General, for the
swmtnattonof elghteencandtdates for Delegates-at-Large
to the Constitutional Convention pro'
vtded for in the Act of Assembly approved June
19, 1891, and for the transaction of such other
business as may be presented,
Notice is especially directed to the fact that, in
accordance with the provtstons of the last men
tioned act, each Senatorial dlsirict is entitled to
a representation of three delegates in said Con
ettluttonal Convention, two of whom only can be
members of the majority parly tn said district.
The electors of each district are therefore re
quested to make proper nominations for dele
gates to said convention, the rules governing the
nomination of candidates for Slate Senator to
be applicable.
In this connection the Chairman desires to call
the attention of Republican votsrs to the recom
mendation of the Slate Convention of 1832, that
"they allow the greatest freedom in the general
participation in the primaries consistent with
the preservation of the party organization,"
Wit, II. ANDREWS, Chairman.
Euhopeans aro beginning to have
a more truthful conception of the
American people than they have
hitherto had. When touring In the
old country was confined to a com
paratively few, and they of the aris
tocratic class mainly, many of whom
were deeply Imbued with anglo
manlatsni, American character was not
fairly represented. To-dny there aro
ten European tourists to ouo of ten
years ago, and the majority of them
of the less pretentious, but more in
dependent and patriotic order; tho
kind of people not given to toadyism,
and who have a proper conception of
the greatness of their own country,
and hnvo spirit enough to give ex
pression to their belief.
The failure of the European grain
crops and the consequent demand for
American cereals, and naturally the
large advance in prices, have for some
days past absorbed the attention of
financiers as well as that of the far
mers, the latter being jubilant, while
the former are in afeverof excitement,
not knowing exactly what to do. In

of the Alliance party that the farmers
should hold back their farm products,

the farmers are not as a general thing

Their financial condition Is not such

They need the money too badly for

will take advantage of tho present

IlAnRisDuno, Pa., Aug. 18. Tho Ho
publican Stato convention, to assemblo
bore to-morrow, has only to nominate
candidates for two State ofHoos Treas
urer and Adjutant-General and yet It
Is attracting attention, nnd is clvou an
importance greater In somo respects than
II its worn were to bo tho nomination of
a Gubernatorial ticket and tho selection
of delogatcs-at-largo to attend the Na
tional convention.
Senator Quay reached here la3t even
ing with State Chairman Andrews, ex-
uoiicctor Aiurtin nna others. Uharlos
Emory Smith, Minister to St. Peters
burg, came up from Philadelphia ou tho
same train. Tho latter s M that It would
be unwise for the convention at this time
to express any Presidential preferences,
and added that ho thought the platform
would strongly indorse tho administra
tion of President Harrison. Of oourse,
some npprovlng reference would be made
to reciprocity ns well.
Thero will bo n pretty lively contest
for tho two offices to be filled. Gen.
Gregg will probably bo named for Audl-tor-Geuoral,
though Giles D. Price, of
Erie, is giving him a close raco. Which
ever one fails to got that place will
stand tho best chance for tbo Stato
Trcasurorshlp, though John W. Morris
Bey, of Allogheny, and ex-Speaker Thomp
son, of Warreu, aro now tho only avowed
candidates for that placa.
Au Interesting phase of the proceed
ings will be over tho selection of the
chnirinan of tho State Committee. Win.
H. Andrews cannot be re-elected, so tbo
probabilities are that Senator Quay will
seek to put tho selection In the hands of
tho candidates, which will mean the
choosing of one not unfriendly to him,
A fight may dovelop over this, as tho re
cent practice has been for tho conven
tion to make theseloctlon,
