THE OONVENTIOI.   .
The Republican county conveution bas
met and delivered. Its work for the
most part is praiseworthy and satisfactory.
Tbe ticket named, for the most part, is a
strong one and will commend itself to the
united support of the party.
Congressman Mahon beads tbe ticket,
and his nomination by unanimous vote
and without opposition is a just tribute
to an able and faithful Rep resent a' ive in
Congress. Franklin county has responds
ed in unison with the other counties of
the district and echoes back tbeir greetings and plaudits for her favorite son Mr.
Mahon will sweep tne district with his
old-time fury and just nothing will be
left of the man at the far side of the track.
Judjre Stewart's nomination is in an
swer to a universal demand for his con
tinuance on the bench he has done so
much to adorn. There never has been a
moment since his first election when tbere
was any thought of- bringing forward an
other. He is not "only the unanimous
choice of his own part), but practically so of all parties and all people.
Whether an opposition candidate is
placed in the field or no, Judge Stewart's election will be practically unanimous. There is but one thing that
may defeat htm for the Common Pleas,
and tbat is his nomination by tbe State
convention for Superior Court. It is
with mingled joy and sadness that this is
adverted to as one of the probabilities ol
tbe future.
The renomination of Hon. W. W.
Britton was one of the conceded certainties of the convention. No forecasts
omitted his name. The convention did
wisely in recalling the genial and
popular "Squire." His record was excep
tional and simply demanded bis return on
all grounds of decency and the eternal
fitness of things. He will sweep the
county like a prairie fire.
The other legislative nomhiati-- fell fo
Hon. W. C. Kreps by the small margin of
six votes over Waynesboro's favorite Dr.J,
O. Criswell. -There is nothing to indicate
that the prize was unfairly won. Mr.
Kreps is the choice of the party. Waynesboro is not given to kicking. She asked
tor Dr. Criswell's nomination and she
pressed for it. Her demand at the door
of the convention was so emphatic that
none could mistake der desire. Tbe candidate brought as bis credentials the
overwhelming vote of his immediate
constituency. He was followed into tbe
convention by a large retinue of devoted
follower-, representing the best political
blood of the county. There was everything
to make tbe handwriting on the wall plain
that Waynesboro wanted the nomination
Waynesboro has been turned down, rudely and roughly down. Waynesboro expected better treatment and she deserved
it. Waynesboro ie not given to kidking,
but there is such a thing as going too
far—such a thing as snapping the tie that
binds.
Mr. Kreps' nomination was asked by
him for the purpose of affording him an
opportunity to "redeem bimSElf." Thi-
same  thing   was   done six   years- ago,
"The   Repblican    party    is    exceeding!}
generous—more       so,      possibly,   than
just.    No  one   questions    Mr     Kreps'
ability, but whether he   will   be stronger
now than he was six   years ago is a question for tbe   future     He   bas dod biles*
grown   stronger   since  then      Whether
the^increment will  be scflicienl  to  lam
him is a question   for   ttbe ballots.     H<
threw   bis    fife     Greencastle   votes   t<
Britton as well as the majority oi Aorrim'f
votes.    For   this  Waynesboro   wiil'noi
feel specially grateful.
Dr. Criswell defeat can partly be liid
at the door ot Quincy township. First
district cut him and tbe Second didu't
give him a single vote. They ;idmitte<
that tbey were there for Waynesboro's
scalp; that we had always downed tbem
and tbat tbey were going to get ever
witb us." This is as unkind as it is unjust.
John T. Pensinger, of Chambersburg
captured tbe much coveted and much
fought for prize of Sheriff. Washington
township presented two clean and excel.
lent men; and there were others. The
convention's choice was Pensinger by a
large majority. The nomination is a yery
strong one and will be highly acceptable
to the party at large.
For District Attorney the convention
named John W. Hoke, Esq., a very
bright and solid young lawyer, who will

be strong before the people and who, in
the event of his election, will make a
most painstaking and able guardian of
the interests of the Commonwealth.
The resolutions approve tbe administration of President McKinley, bis course
in the Cuban matter and pledge him support in whatever move he may make. They
also pledge support to the ticket. No
mention is made of Quay and the deligates
to the State convention are uniustructed
on tbe governorship, but are named in
the interest of Judge Stewart and expect
ed to do whatever is necessary to secure
his nomination for Superior Court.

nation was a foregone conclusion. Kreps
had come to town yesterday morning
flushed with tbe confidence of victory.
When he saw those Criswell badges floating in tbe breeze and heard the yell ot
"Criswell" going up from every corner,
he took pause and began to think a thing
or two. Thenceforward the situation became exceedingly warm between the twi>
and it look the secretaries' tally to determined the result.

A Theatre Hat —viciion.
On February 26 a woman was elected
from tbe Castle Square Theatre, in Boa
ton, for refusiug to take off a large and
obstructive hat. It happened .during an
afternoon performance. The Boston Aldermen haye made a law that obstructive
hats shall not be worn in Boston theaters,
and tbat managers wbo permit them shall
be subject to fine. The practice of the
managers is to band women whose bats
are objectionable a card on which the law
is set fort and compliance with it requested. This was done in the case of the
woman in the Castle Square Theatre, but
she declined either to lake off her hat or
remove to another seat. After an hour
and a half of patient and gentle means,
the management got a policeman and
c eared a path for him, and then the wo
man got np and retreated. Her money
(25 cents) was refunded at tbe box office,
aod she indulged herself in a free expression of her views i s to the treatment she
had received.
There is a difference of opinion as to:
the expediency of ordinances regulating
women's bead gear in theatres, but there
must be pretty general agreement tbat a
woman who wears an obstructive hat and
won't remove it, and is put ont in conse-
quenct,"gets no more than she deserves.
As between regulating theatre hats by
State legislation and by city ordinances,
a city ordinance is much to be preferred.
A city is a big family, and is warranted
in solicitude as to some details of personal
behavior which the legislators of a State
have no warrant to meddle with.—Har
