Brighter Will Grow His Name.
General Grant is no longer President.
He bas filled tbe measure of rjuuim dis
tinction in this country, and if free
government is perpetuated, b will be
one of tbe brightest of historical char
acters during tbe thousands of years
to come. Tbe people who do not like

of. When tbey denounced bim, their
prospects In tarnish bis name is about
as likely to succeed, as if ibey bayed
the moon with tbe hope of extinguish
ing tbat luminary.
As apes roll by, lesser will erow their b!ime.
As ages roll by, brighter will grow his name
The Next Auditor General.
As the time for the meeting of tbe
Republican State Convention draws
nigh, at which nominations are to be
male for the ofiice of Auditor Gen
eral, State Treasurer an-J JuJge of
the Supreme Court, we take oppor
tunity to urge on the Republicans of
the State the nomination for Auditor
General of Hon. Howard J. Reeder
of this plaee.
It is important that in the ap
proaching campaign the Republicans
of this Commonwealth the Republi
cans of this Commonwealth should
select as their standard bearers men
of such character and traditions as
not only to thoroughly cement the
party, but also give perfect assurance
to all that it deserves the confidence
and support of all citizens of the
Commonwealth. And for no office is
it more important that the candidate
should be conspicuous for his high
reputation for honesty, capacity and
strength of character than in that of
Auditor General, the final Anditor of
all the accounts of the States the
real watch-dog, zealously guarding
the Treasury from all corrupt attacks.
