To the ltepiibllcnn electors of Pennsylvania: The llepublicann of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen representatives, will meet in Mate con vention Thursday, April 21, I WW, at 10 o'clock A. m., In tho operti house, city of Hurrlhiirg, for tho purpose of nominating two candidates for reprosetitiitivo-ut-lurge in Congress and tlilrty 6wo candidates for Presidential electors, the selection of eight dclegatcs-nt-Iargo to the Ito publlean National convention, and for the Tansactlon of such otiier business as may bo presented. By order of tho Stato Committee. M. 8. Quay, Attest: jEitrj It. Kkx, Chairman. "V. It. Andrews, .Secretaries. SIt's u mighty poor prolueor who euuiiot improve on tho X raj-s those days. Fitz and Corbett are still talking over tho long distance telephone, unil saying, "Yott'or another." Ito.MB, that sut on her beveu hills and from her thnino of beauty Tilled tho world, Is put to it those days to rule herself. Wr. have tho Whitney, Carlisle, liussel and Olnoy booms, hut what tho country needs is a business boom, and that will come with the triumph of Republicanism. If this "favoiite bon" business keeps up the Republican score cards at St. Louis next Juno will hardly ho big enough to contain the names of all the candidates. Things are riiHercnt with our Democratic friends, ap parently. UuvcHN'uii Hastings yosterday appointed i'harles 1!. McMicliael to buccccd the lato Judge Henry Reed, upon the recoinuiendatiou of Senator tjuay's 1'hiladelphia lieutenants. This is another blow tho Governor has dealt lho Combine. Tin: fccw oik .Mercury says: It is rc- jiorted that Quay is a sure enough candidate for the Republican l'lesideutial Humiliation, Imt Matthew himself is not siying a word, lmt looking calm and serene, with tho ion lldence of a Christian who sits in a game of poker behind four aces." An exchange puts it this way: "The dealers who are now advertising report in creased business and cheerful prospects. Spring buying begins hefuro homo merchants are awaio of it, and it is the far-sighted ones ulio is new planting his advertisements." It is cjuito evident, from his published interview, that ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kansas, is partial to McKlnley for Presi dent, lie speaks of big Tom Ueed as a "local man." Tho locnlity In which ho dwells, however, takes in tho entire area of the I'nited .States, including Kansas. And so County Solicitor Ulrich has advised the Commissioners not to lecogulzo any Justices in Mahanoy City or Shenandoah except thoso commissioned as Justices for tho lioiough. If tho other Justices hi these two towns aro acting illegally, how about tho (Justices of I'ottsville, .St. Clair, Schuylkill Jlavcn, Ashland and hisowii town of Tama iua ? Why not wipe them all out at ono fell swoop ? It is evident that tho old gas companies in this statu have given up the attempt to light lho new applicants for charters on tho grounds that they have exclusive rights. Thcto were some fifteen contests of this character before Secretary of tho Common- wealth Hecder, all ol which wcro to have Leeu heard this month, but tho hearings liavo lecn postponed indellnitely. The depart incut will yrant tho charters except where there is a similarity of names, and in which ease tho applicants can change the names and re-apply. PnoF, J. W. Cooii:k, principal of tho High bi-liool, has formally announced his candidacy for tho Couuty Supcriiitendency, and his friends will uso every legitimate and honnr ablo means to securo his election to that important position. Tho action of tho School Hoard in unanimously adopting resolutions endorsing his candidacy is heartily com mended by all friends of tho public schools who know Mr. Cooper. His executive and intellectual abilities are unquestionable, und he has had the necessary experience to fit him for tho duties of the position to which he aspires.
