To thc Editor of the Expr***:A s I have had the honor to be personally

acquainted with the Packer fam ily of Mauch Chunk, th e head o f which is now nom inated fo r Governor o f Pennsylvania, it m ay not be uninteresting or *»"«■■ to make a few remarks. Personally speaking, M r. Packer is to ta lly unfit for th e office to w hich he asp ires—he is equally unfit or un ­w orthy th e confidence r i th e people for whose suffrages he is a candidate. Mr. Packer is unknow n as a S ta te legislator, and he has no a b ility or influence as a Con­gressm an, and politica lly speaking, he hue b e e n a notorious failure. 1 w ell remember

neeting I attended in M auch Chunk, w h en hia nam e w as proposed for th e preei denoy, and 1 shall not forget th e derision w ith w h ich th a t proposal w as received.

B u t th ese objections (and to a certain t e n t th ey are potent) do not include a ll m y grounds r i opposition to Mr. Packer. I o b ject to h im because h e is blindly led b y th e nose b y tb e unprincipled Democrats w h o control th a t party in tb e S tate of Pennsylvania, and hia election w ould tarn th e goven u nen t r i tb e Cosnmonwealth into ir hands.
