D.iVID IVIL.VOT and the "Razor Strop
Man'' arrived here on Tuesday last, the one ta
king up his quarters at the Washington Hotel
and the other in'front of theMengel House—
the former coming for the purpose of shrieking
ihr "bleeding Kansas" and the latter to har
rangue the people on the excellent qualities of
his razors. Both drew crowds, in as much as
both are very eloquent gentlemen, and the peo
ple wanted to see which could tell the "biggest
rams." In our humble opinion (although the
•Razor Strop .Man" strained his utmost) David
beat his competitor slightly, but it is our opinion,
also, that if thesaid David wants to come with
in 50.000 votes of the poll which Gen. Packer
will run on the second Tuesday of Octob-r,
next, that he will have to "spin" longer "yarns"
than any he has produced yet. That's so.
OUR THJXFS are due to the brethren of
tile press, generally, and to the Somerset Dem
iitrtil and Ilollidaysburg Standard, in particu
lar, for the kindness with which they welcomed
oar debut on the stage editorial. It gives us
I pleasure, also, to notice the many and high en-
I miums passedjupon our venerable predecessor,
I *hase hie-long devotion to the interests of the
P Democratic party have won fhrhirn the esteem
H af every honest and pure political partizan.
I OX MONDAY last we had the pleasure of'
R a call from Jas. Lewis, Esq., the able editor of
I tee Huntingdon Globe. Mr. Lewis gives us
■ dewing accounts of political matters in Hun-
B'.agjoa and says that the prospects of carrying
