The convention ratified the work
of the Staff Committee by a vote of
290 to :;i
Walter K. Hitter, of Williams
lort, viis nominated fur auditor

ana county, for State treasurer.
Tho platform fully and unqualifi
edly indorses free silver and W. J.
Bryan. It. denounces tho Dingloy
tariff law, demands intervention in
the Cuban war, scores tho legisla
ture for extravagance, asks that the
Statu Treasury be investigated, sym
pathizes with tho t liking miners

commends the organization of Demo
cratic Societies in every district.
Mr. Harrity it is said will dispute

- The Convention was iurlmlent. and
indulged in a characteristic free for
nil fight,
ReadiriK, Ta . Sept. 1. The Demo
cratic state convention, which mt In
this city, nominated Walter E. Totter ot
Lycoming county for auditor general
ind M. E. Brown of Blalrsvllle for state
treasurer. The matter of the selection
of candidates was entirely overshadow
ed by the fltrht to force the retirement
of William F. Harrity from the national
committee. The opponents of Mr. Har
rity succeeded In pushing through hy a
vote of 290 to 134 a resolution Indorsing
James M. Ouffey for his position. Mr.
Harrlty's friends contend that the state
convention has no power to declare his
seat In the national committee vacant
and that he will not surrender without
a flpht.
The platform reaffirms and reiterates
the principles of the Democratic party
as expressed in the platform adopted by
the national convention at Chicago in
1SH6 and says: "We are firmly and un
alterably opposed to the single gold
standard, 'Ahlch has been the direct
cause of the financial distress that has
followed upon our people since its adop
tion, and we are In favor of a complete
and Immediate return to our original
specie basis as It exlsfted prior to the
demonetization act of 1673. We con
gratulate William J. Bryan, the glori
ous champion ot a righteous cause, for
his masterly leadership In support of
these principles."
It denounces the RlnRley tariff, critl-

Jamas 8. tteucora Nooiiiifttd For Treas
urer of ftVnuaylvikiila.
Harilsburg, Aug. 27 The Republican
stale convention, comprising 3M dele
gates, was held In this city and
nominated James S Heocom of West
moreland county for state treasurer and
Major Levi U. McCauley of ChefCr
county for auditur general. The latter
hud no opposition, but the Alleghany
county- delegates, under the leadership
of Stale Senator C. L. fclugoe. placed
the name of State Senator Jul.n W.
Crawford of that county before the
convention In opposition to Mr. bea-i-oin.
No active canvass was made in
Crawford's behalf, howevei, and he re
ceived but votes besides the 31 cast
lor him by his home delegation.
The platfuim latilies and reaffirms
the St. Lours declaration of principles,
congratulates the people on the pansage
of the Lrlngley bill and the return of
prosperity, pledges the party to main
tain a Just, reasonable and equitable
civil service system, denounce ex-
I'lesldellt Cleveland for his "abuse of
Us poweis," declaims for stale and nrvl

c) nor Xiusili-KB, regieta lbs defeat of
the reformp by the late leclplature and
commends the passage of the bill re
uniting the payment of Interest on state
deposits. The administrations of Au
ditor I'.enerul Mylln and State Treas
urer Haywood are commended, the le.
Isl.'iture is also iralpd for the enact
ment of laws In the Interest of the la
boring classes, and the Pennsylvania
' nature and reprtsentntivefl in con
tacts are thanked for their position on
the tariff question In the extra session.
The harmcny which prevailed was of
the mod pronounced s"ort, and ther
was not a ripple on the surface to mar
the serenity of the proceedings. The
d, leirati s appeared to take only a lan
guid Interest In the work of the con
vention, although the nominees, when
they wore Introduced at the close of the
meeting, wre plvtn a cordial greeting
The convention was held, as usual In
the Horrlsbuig pera House. While
there was a full attendance of dele-fritc-s
the gathering was notable for
the absence of the usual throng of vis
itors and shouters that has marked
the conventions of the party In past
venrs.

quently with her husband took up
her aV.odo in Milford. For some
ttmeshe has been nllheted witli a
tumor an l a year or mora afro an
operation was performed for its re
moval. Tho relief however was not
permanent as it became apparent
recently that she must again sub
mit to the perils of the surgeons
knife, and last, week she nderwent
tho second operation at tho Hospital
in Port Jervis which resulted in her
dentil at that place on Tuesdaj'
abiiit noon. She was of an unob
trusive disposition, domestic in her
tastes and habits, and made her
home attractive and cheerful to her
family. Her doath is a sad blow to
her surviving husband who has the
wrtrmest sympathy of his friends in
this trying period She is survived

He Would Be on Hand.
If appears from a story told in con
nection with a caucus held in Troy,
N. Y., n few yeara ago, that tho na
tives of Erin in that oity were fully
alive to the opportunities of the
Americans, and did not wih to be
left behind.
During the caucus in one of the
lower wards of tho city, ouo John
O'Brion was nominated for a minor
position on the ward ticket to be
voted for at the charter election.
Some inquires wore made of one
Patrick O'Brion as to who this per
son bearing his name might be, as
no one in the neighborhood could
call him to mind.
"He's me brother," said Patrick
O'Brien, with cheerfully alacrity ;
"he's not arroivod in the counthry
yit.but he tuk ship av a Wednesday,
an'll be here in toime for 'laction. "

If a bushel of wheat is worth a
goM dollar and a gold dollar is
worth two dollars and thirty -five

of wheat will it tuko to pay a debt
of one hundred dollars ?
The condition of tho farmers is
bettor to-day with dollar wheat und
potatoes seventy-five cents then
daring the war when the prices of
his produce were much higher, but
tho cost of articles he bought pro
portionally high. Tho purchasing
power of his dollar is far greater

There is a very narrow place in
tho road near Raymondskill just
back of the Howell farm. Some
years ago considerable dirt on the
upper side slid down which has
never been removed. The brush and
weeds on the lower side have now
boon cut away and that discloses a
state of narrowness which should
be remedial. A few hows work
with a road machtno would greatly
improve tho width of the' highway.
Hay fever is ascribed by some to
the fine dust arising from weeds
which 1s inhaled, and causes tho un
pleasant irritation experienced by
many. The weeds should be cut
down and taken awa v. Our streets
need considerable attention in this
direction and we trust the proper
authorities will give the matter
prompt consideration. Some farm
ers on tho road in Dingman have
set a good example, by trimming up
the fences along the road. Tho im
provement is marked, and they will
roceivo the thanks of travelers.

What Wide Tire. Do.
Elaborate Uists of the draftof wide
and narrow tired wagons have just
been complotod by the Missouri Ag
ricultural Collego Experiment Sta
tion, Columbia, extending over a
period of a year and a half. These
tests have been made on macadam,
gravel and dirt roads in all condi
tions, anil also on the meadows and
plowed fields of tho experimental
farm. Contrary to public expecta
tion, in nearly all cases draft was
materially lighter when tires six
inches wide were used, than with
tiros of standard width. The load
hauled was in all cses the same.and
tho draft was most carefully deter
mined by means of a self-recording
dynamo-meter. The beneficial ef
fect of the wide tiro on dirt roads is
strikingly shown in some rocnt tests
at the station. In atrial when a clay
road was so bodly cut into ruts as
to bo almoit impassable for light
vehicles and pleasure carriages, after
running tho six inch tires over this
road twelve times, tho ruts were
completely fiUod and a first-class bi
cycle path made. Columbia Herald.
