REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. To tbo Republican electors of Pennsylvania: Theitcpublicnns of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen representatives, will meet In Stato con vention Thursday, April 23, 1890, at 10 o'clock a. m., In tbo opera house, city of Hnrrlshurg, for the purpose of nominating two candidates for rcprcscntatlvo at-larKo in Confess and thirty two candidates for Presidential electors, tbo eelcction of eight dclegatcs-at-largo to tho Re publican National convention, and for tbe ransnctlon of such other business as mny bo presented. By order of tbo State Committee. ST. S. QUAY, Attest: Jkkb B. Hex, Chairman. "V. IL ANOnnws, Secretaries. THINGS POLITICAL. Tho Republican htalo convention will bo held in llarrisbiirg on Thursday, and us tho hour for tho convening of that important body draws uenrer Interest in tho Presidential canvass increases correspondingly. Pennsyl vania has long been tho banner Republican state; in tho person of Mathew Stanley Quay .she has a candidato for whom tho party workers would rally to n man ; tbo tidu is setting his way, and it would not surprise the knowing ones to find that Quay would receive the second highest vote on tho first ballot. Mr, Quay's gicnt strength is attribu table, in a groat measure, to his loyalty to Republicanism, who is never gruater than his party, and never away from his post when tho interests of Pennsylvania are concerned. In his political career he has shown courage .and magnamlty to nu unusual degree As .Republican opinion now trends, Pennsyl vania's choicu will bo tho choice of tho St. Louis convention, and tho nation's choice in November. Let thero bo no anxiety over tho McKiulcy boom. It has reached tho zenith of its glory. Tho press bureaus have played their part, and even Mark Hanna's "lubri cating oil" fails further tu keep the machinery -moving smoothly. Tho second important business of Thurs day's convention outside of tho unanimous endorsement of Senator Quay is tho adoption of tho platform. New York, Massachusetts, .Maine and several other states have spoken in no uncertain tones in favor of sound .money and a protective tarill', and Pennsyl vania will speak also in tho same strain Protection to American industries, a dollar north ono hundred cents at any time, ami reform in municipal government will be the J.oynuto of tho cumiialgu in this state. Tho delegates have a duty to perforin, in this respect, that' they cannot evade, and what tbo platfurfu contains should bo in few woids and. to he point no ovasivo or juggling (......eta. i-Tho AjO selec tf chuirmai im portut to convention will likely bo called upon elect u successor to Senator Quay as innaii of the State Committee, audit is important that tho selection he made by tho vomcutiuu as was done last year and not leave it in tho hands of tho two candidates to bo nominated on Thursday, prank Willing Leach Is making a winning fight, Jind ;f ull sigus fail not ho will succeed Senator Quay provided, always, the latter decides to retire. Tlie delegates to the state convention from this county compare favor ably with any who havo in preious .years represented Schuylkill in a similar capacity. They aro intelligent, conscientious ineii, who are not to bo traded away by .politicians, as insinuated by tho Miners' Journal of yesterday. The lling at tho dele gates in the Journal is unjust und unde served, and should not havo been given publicity in a newspaper controlled by a delegate to the national convention, oven as a "rumor." Whilo wo believu the majority, 5f not all of them, will bupport Mr. Loach for stato chairman, we also believe they will do go because they consider liim eminently fitted for tho olllco, and that tho mass of the people they represent hold the sumo opinion, Noj dear Journal, if tho Schuylkill delegates voto for Mr. Loach they will bo only express jug the wishes of their constituents, and not a few would-be leaders who are anxious that thai" do utherwise. Speaking of Mr. Leach's candidacy brings to mind his opinion of tho "rural press." Ho Is quoted as baying that "with out tho support of tho interior papers no man can succeed In Pennsylvania," That is truo. Tho rural prew wield a grout power in moulding public opinion and aro tbo .greatest single political power In tbo com' iiiouwealth. There aru a number of political loaders in tho state, and several in this county, who realize to their sorrow that what -Mr. Leach says in regard to tho itiral prow is truo In overy particular. And tliero aio others who will also bear testimony to tho tatumcut before many more summers. Sluoo the opunty condition political news is somewhat source, but before iiiauy days the hundred and one patrlntu who uro to anxious to serve the dear people will again bo pressing their lespective claim upon a jgulhble publie, a number of Whilo wo believe there aro has-beens" In Schuylkill county who, furthogood of tho party, should hi relegated to tho roar nud ullow more wvr' by lncti to take tlioir places, wo aro also ot tin opinion that there is entirely too juarli factional fooling displayed. Every dci laratlou of war from ouo faction against the oth r. overy statement of the attitude of thin or l'i at leader, Is only additional fuel for -feeding the fire of discord, Tho Republican lurty of this comity lias all it can do to suc cessfully fight tho common enemy, Democ xmy. The bickerings aud had blood engendered by fHctlntml uiililswilhin our own ranks, if continued, will ultimately place Schuylkill again In 1 he Democratic column. The braul-gauged nnd lilieral-minilctl Itepub Means should cotue tu the limit and I'llt it stop to theso blckerliiKs. The only way to put an end to these criminations and re criminations lies l.i the party Itself Schuyl kill county will never exert her full measure of Influence, in tlie councils of the stale organization mi long ne the local actional fights continue. What is true of the county lenders Is also true, to a loss uxtoutjof Shenandoah Repub licans. Undor 'our form of government every American citizen has tho right to imp ire to public olllc. Tho ambition is n laudable ouo; and It Is this general right that onuses so many to thirst for political proferment. Shenandoah Is tholargost town in the county, and from a Republican standpoint has novcr had its quota of olllco holders. It Is true tho factional fioling Is not as strong us hi some other towns, hut It exists all tho name. There isun uudorciirrent that works detriment to tho aspirations of a Shenandoah Republican for political preferment, and is tho ono causo that tho town's full quota of plums aro not forthcoming. Oct together, gentlemen, and work In harmony. Tho antc-conventlon canvass will bo on in all its glory soon, and among tho list of aspirants for county olhYos will boa number of Shenandoah Republicans, cither of whom aro worthy tho honor they seok. Party fealty and capacity for tho olllcial position make them each strong candidates. But let their canvass be mado in tho proper spirit, with a fair field to all. PITHY POINTS.
