German language/ Member of Board I Pension Kxami- Our highest ambition is to please everybody, and give them the best value for their money. ' Our reputation for handling fine goods is justly mer ted and can't be disputed. We sell more Fine Clothing than all the other dealers in Punxsutawney, and they can't deny this fact. We would say to any who may want a Fine Suit or a handsome Overcoat that wr are going eatt this week for the purpose of buying our Fall and Winter stock, and we can assure our friends that if there is any nobby styles and novelties in Men's Suits, Overcoats, or-Boys' and Children's plething, we will get our share of nice styles. The cream as what we are after. . Our Men's Suits now comprise most everything in Sacks I and Cutaways. / We still have a complete stock of Boys' and Children's J Clothing that we will offer at a bargain. Some may think this merely an advertising dodge, but it is a bonafiide sale. You can see for yourselves the goods _ that have been reduced. Our past history for truthful ad* vertising is sufficieet evidence that we mean just what we We purchase the bulk of owr fall stock this month, and in order to make room Ave must get rid of a great many goods before we can have oyr Fall stock come in. s ! j ,< s i Our trade this season has more than dc ubled that of last year. Day after day we arc adding now customers to our list, and they come to stay. All broken lots of Sack and Frock Suits must be closed out. We have adopted this method in order to clean out all odds and ends. It has been our practice twice a year, after the Fourth of July and the First of January, to go through our entire stock and mark down all small lots and close them out regardless of value. Gtb, We favor liberal service pensions graded on time of service in the army or navy, for all hoDorably discharged soldiers and sailors who helpod save the nation, especially considering those who were prisoners of war, and a continuance of this pension to their widows and minor ohildren, not as payment for the debt of gratitude we owo them but equitable pay - ment for servioe rendered. 7th, The speedy adoption of the Australian ballot system or its equivalent. 8th, Such government regulation and control of all monopolies as will protect the peoplejfrom excessive charges. '■'tb, For a Sabbath law and its enforcement securing to the laborer one day in seven for rest. (JlHth, The relation of capital and labor Lis a pressing political issue, to be solved [only by a party that regards politics ag morals applied to pnblio aft'airs. We favor legislation that will insure to the laborer a just return for his labor and check the tendency to divest the wealth of the country from the hands of the many into the hands of the few, and will place the employed in all respocts on an equality with the employer before the law. Uth, All taxable property should be listed for taxation at its actual value, less any bonafide indebtedness of the owner thereof.

The platform was unanimously adopted and Chairman Harrity then announced that nomination* for Governor were in order. Then Judge Or vis, of Centre connty took the platform, and nominated Wm. E. Wallace. Wm. 8. Stenger then aroM to nominate Pattison. There were oriee of "Platform, platform." Mr. Stenger walked down the aisle amidst the cheers of the Pattison people. His very first sentence awakened the greatest outburst of enthusiasm. He said: "I arise to nominate Robert E. Pattison." This got the convention by the ears. It went wild; handkerchiefs and hats were waved by excited men in the galleriea, while two delegates opened their umbrellas and waved them. When order was restored, Mr. Stenger continued his speech. Ex-Senator Jacobs, of Juniata oonnty, seconded Mr. Wallace. He was followed by A. G. Dewalt, of Lehigh, who nominated Robert S. "Wright. Dr. Mc Cormick, of Lancaster, presented the name of Wm. U. Hensel, and Senator Brown, of York, named Chaunoey F. Black. Michael E. Ryan, of Philadelphia, seconded the nomination of Pattison in an able speech whloh created great enthusiasm. Arthur Thatcher, of Philadelphia, seconded the nomination of Wallace. Nominations then closed and Chairman Harrlty ordered the calling of the roll. The roll call wag followed with intense interest. When he had finished Wallace's vote was first announced. When Patti- j son's vote was announced the convention went crazy. It shouted itself hoarse. The corrected ballot as announoed by Chairman Harrity, was as follows: Pattison 200, Wallace 135, Wright 11, Hensel 11, Black 9, not voting 2. When the convention got tired of shouting, George W. McGowan, of Philadelphia, moved to make the nomination unanimous. It was seconded by a half dozen and went through like a breeze. Then Chairman Harrity announced that the next thing in order was the nomination of a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Instantly there was ories for 1 "Black, Black," from every part of the hall. John J. Maloney, of Philadelphia, nominated Chauncey F. Black. Mr. Steele, of Lehigh, placcd the name of Robert E. Wright before the convention. W. P. Collins placed the name of Hon. Hannibal K. Sloane of Indiana connty, in nomination and then the nominations closed. The roll call was immediately ordered. The ballot resnlted as follows: Black 191, Wright 107, Sloane 3. The nomination was made unanimous. Chairman Harrity announced that the nest business in order was the nominaton of a Secretary of Internal affairs. Patrick Foley, of Allegheny, nominated "Wm. H. Barclay, of Pittsburg, and hoped the nomination be made by acclamation. There were a half dozen seconds to the motion, and it went through with a rush, and Wm. Barclay was declared the unanimous choice of the convention for Secretary of Internal Affairs. Ex-Congressman Snowden moved that the Chair appoint a committee ol live to inform the candidates of their nomination. Mr. Snowdens motion was unanimously agreed to. Charles Sobimmeltiug moved that the Chair appoint a committee of three to wait upon the defeated candidates and ask them to appear before the convention.

Patttson won the fight in the first round with'a single blow, and the WallsM men are holding a consultation to decidp what bit him. Shortly after ten o'clock Chairman Kiss- ner oalled th(i convention to order. The first hitch came in reading the roll, and the contestants from Clarion raised * row. There was no contest over the eleetion of Mr. Cox for Chairman, and after the committee had been appointed the convention adjourned till afternoon. The committee on Contested Seats was the main battle ground, but Pattison had a majority of the members and he was given the bulk of the disputed votes. That virtually settled the matter, the nomination was merely one of form. The Pattison strength was first shown in the flection of permanent chairman and Pattison's henohman, Harrity, was put in. Then the committee on Resolutions read the following platform: The Democrats of Pennsylvania, by their representatives in State convention assembled) renewing their former pledges of fidelity rnd upholding the sacred rights of the people and the States, declare: First, That ballot reform is necessary, and to this end the necessity for the assembling of a constitutional convention for the pnrpose of removing the marked ballot clause of the constitution, so that laws may be constitutionally enacted for the assurance of the secrecy of the ballot and the freedom of the votes is recognized as imperative and unavoidable. Second, That tariff reform is necessary in order that manufacturers may be freed from the burden of unnecessary taxes on raw materials, the labor relieved of taxation of the necessaries of life and the consuming millions disburdened of the incumbus of having revet.ties laid on them for the production of a surplus which becomes the sport of party partisans and public plunderers. Third, That local tax reform is necessary in order that the taxation for county, municipal and township purposes may be equalized, the unjust discrimination against land values and in favor of certain kinds of personal property under existing laws may be corrected, and that the farmer may be relieved of the double tax on the value of his farm, and the price of the mortgage which may stand against it. Fourth, That the law requiring that the surplus in the State Treasury shall be invested in State or United States bonds must be observed and executed. Fifth, That we recur with pride to the administration of ex-P.'esident Grover Cleveland, and challenge comparison of the courage, fidelity and integrity of that administration, with the duplicity, variation and oorrupt surrounding of that now in power. Sixth, That we favor such apolioy with regard to the coinage of silver as will keep both gold and silver coins in oirculation> of treasury notes redeemable in the same. Seventh, That the right to be apprenticed to a trade should not be subject to the restriction of race or nativity, but should be onjoyed equally by the youth of the State without distinction, except as to merit. ! Eighth, That we depreciate and denounce unequal apportionments of districts for the election of representatives in Congress, and believb that the voters of the State should be allowed to make their own apportionments were made by law and each voter permitted to cast one vote for one candidate for Congress and no more. AVe accept the issue of Quayism tendered by the late Republican Convention and »f- arraign the Republican party for its usurpation of powers in the administration of the central government which the people of the States have not granted; for pl,.cing in the hands of a dictator, in the chair of the speaker of the Federal House of R. presentativis, the power to legislate for the representatives ot the whole people; lor Its open disregard for the provis ions of the oivil serfica Uv, which the P/eaident of its choice whs pledged to support: for its failure to fulfill its promise to the honorable discharged soldiers of the Union; for its ceaseless eft a t to promote Seciional strife and disturb the tranquility of the country; fur its lavish and reckless expenditures of the public moneys; for its passage through the House of Representatives of a tariff bill which increases the taxes on necessaries, ieduces ouly those laid upou Insures, uud is calculated to promote and foster Hosts; fir its failure to enforce laws a.;anisfi the Deportation of c 'Otrsict or pauper Inhere; for its attempt to pass a Frder.<l election law designed to excite a race war, and, finally and for its lmliffuvuw to the rUhuiadt lalor, its .i<'f« »t ..f the lalior liiil# in the last Legislature, its failure to  ' force articles l(i and 17 of the Constitution by proper legislation its cmnipt methods | ib popular electing*, su.i I's cringing subservet c.v to's. party boss Who' stands niute {lwlyre the most teriib'e inculpation evtr X"*E VA i C'ialtel1 HM"'""'- * public ■ llk'iai. . jft- wtili |>iii|'A'iUt>.nlututt of our : i" PUWXSUTaWNBT, PA., IDNESDA .
