OHIO'S democratic state convention convened at Cleveland on Tuesday to make nominations for govern or, lientenaut governor, nud otber state officers. The choice for govern or is likely to fall upen one of these three congressmen; Thos. G. Pow ell, M. A. Foran, and J. G. Campbell, with Foran in the lead. JOSEPH C. P. KENNEDY, a promi nent citizen of Washington, aged "5 years, was assassinated on Wednes day afternoon, July 13th, on Pennsyl vania Avenue, of that city, by John Daly, who had been discharged from the workhouse that morning, and is said to be demented, lie stabbed his unfortunate victim with a case knife, as he was posting a letter in a mail box, causing death in a few minutes. It is to be deplored that cranks of that type are allowed to run at large. IRELAND'S future, since the passage of the coercion bill, is getting to look darker every day. Evictions, arrests of Irish leaders, and outrages incident to suppression will be numerous, and all thisintjueen Victoria's jubilee year. What a mockery ! But the chances are that while everything looks serene to the tory government, the people at large in England and other countries are watching the possible crimes and there may be a powerful uprising and at a moment when the tories least iook for it. THE Sons of Veterans of this state are now consolidated into one divis ion, with Col. E. J. Smith, of Ilarris burg, iu command. This makes Pennsylvania the banner division of the order, uurahering 175 camps with a membership of 4,309. The Legisla ture at its last session passed a bill giving the surplus arms and equip ments to the Sons of Veterans, which will make the order more of a mili tary organization than ever. The national encampment? will bo held at Des Moines, lowa, August 17, 18 and 19. TIIE Constitutional Centennial, to be held in the city of Philadelphia, this fall, is the next event of import ance which will attract tbe attention of the people of the United States. In as much an it will celebrate the 100 th anniversary of the adoption of the constitution of the United States, it differs entirely from all former ccle brations of tbe kind. But it is as much a Datioual celebration, as the centen nial in 1876 was. The Commission in charge of the ceremonies has decid ed on a programme embracing—first, an oration and poem in commemora tion of the signing of tbe Constitu tion ; sccoud, a grand military dis play in which not only the States and Territories but the general govern ment will join, and, third, an indus trial procession to mark the progress of a century of constitutional govern ment. It stands to reason if there is any otber nation on the face of the glol>e that has as much cause to leel proud of its religious and political liberties, of its model government and its scien tific and mechanical achievements as tbe new world and it is not to be won dered at that its people are patriotic enough to'celcbratethe inauguration of all these advantages oyer other coun tries. The following letter of Chairman Mc Clain on Congresional, Judicial aod Senatorial Conferee system was written in reply to one from- Murray Hush Esq., Chairman of the committee ap pointed by the State Central Committee to devise an uniform system of Con gressional, Judicialand Senatorial nomi nations in districts composed of more than one county. The Committee is to report to the State Convention. BELLEFONTE, Pa., June 25th 1887- MUUKAY RUSH, Esq., Randor, Dele ware Co., Pa. Lear Sir Replying to your favor of the 20 inst, would say that I have very radical views as to what the Com mittee of which you are the Chairman should submit to the State Convention and through it to the people, touching the subject of an uniform plan of Sen atorial, Congressional and also Judicial mouinatious in Districts composed of more than one county. I prosit me no section of the Stale has suffered more from the ('enforce Sy.i tern in District nominal ions, than we have in our Judicial (49) Sen a tor in I (34) a id Congressional Dis tricts, in the last ten years* There docs not seem to he any pow or vested In lit her the Statu Committee or State Convention to adopt an uni form plan and compel olxervatice by llie distiicts and, 'any action by eitlie; body will simply bo advisory, which should, however, do much to bring the subject home to thocaieful considera tion of the people in the several dis tricts and thereby possibly biing about desired reform. From an experience of ten or twelve years had with conferees and confer ences, 1 am clearly of the opinion thai representation in district conventions should be enlarged to one delegate or conferee (instead of 3 delegates for each countv,) for each S(H) votes or majority, fraction thereof, said delegate or conferees to be elected by single dis tricts to le erected in each county, the hoiuidat kes of said sing'e districts to be defined by their respective County Com mittee. The County Convention should have nothing whatever to do with districts conferee or delegates, and when a single district is composed of more than one election district, the membeia of the County Committee for each e lection district embraced in single dis trict, meet as return Judges nnd certi fy to the County Committee the result of thi delegate election in said single district, and the Chairman of the County Committee to certify the same to the President of the district Con ventions. Each county in the several Congres sional, Senatorial ntxi Judicial districts In the State to be apportioned,based on lhe last Presidential vote, of compact and con tiguous territory. No ward.bor ough or precinct or township should lie divided iu the formatiou of a single district. I enclose you tlie paper sent tne filled out as directed, which I trust is satis factory. I shall endeavor to be at Al lentown and hopo to see you personally trusting yourCommitteecan accomplish a step forward in the mode of district nomination. I am Youis Very truly, JAS A. MCCLAIN, Chairman. The following resolutions endorsing the above letter were unanimously passed by the County Committee at its recent meeting; WHEREAS. The manner of nominat ingCongrcsßional,Senatorial and Judicial candidates by means of the conferee system which gives to each county that may be contained in a Congressional, Senatorial or Judicial district regard less of the uumber of Democratic votes cast by each county, equal repre sentations in the said conference is in jurious, uuwise, foreign to our system of representative government, and has proven a great injury to the peace and harmony of our party in every part of our state, is a fruitful source of frac tional fights and continually breeds discord in our ranks, therefore it is hereby Resolved, That we heartily endorse the plan proposed by the chairman of this committee in his letter of the *24(11 inst. to Murray hush, chairman of the committee appointed by the State Central Committee to devise a unifoiiu system of making Congressional, Sena torial and Judicial nominations in dis tricts composed of more than one coun ty." And as the representatives of the Democracy of this county wo call upon the State Convention which shall meet at Allentowu on tiio 31st of Au gust next to adopt such plana and le lieve the party in Congressional, Sena torial and Judicial districts from the curse of the conferee system. WASHING TON LETT Kit. (From our regular correspondent) WASHINGTON,, July it, 1887. The salutary eih-cts of Jthe lessons taught by the recent exposure of the rascalities of Bacon in the I'atout olNce,.intl Harvey intho Treasury, are perceptible in many ways. The heads of the Bureaus are more diligent and viligent as well as exacting regarding the method of conducting the public busi ness, and the clerks appreciate the state of affairs by increased activity and thorough ness in ]>erformii!g their alloted tasks. In all the Departments there is an ill-concealed fueling of apprehension,not to say as to what a day may bring forth, ami your correspondent feels safe in predicting that the end is not yet—that others in high plac* es are cowering in abject fear of an impar tial investigation of their doings—realizing that the result would l>e ruinous to them. I have good reason to believe that a genera' hut quiet examination of the accounts of all disbursing otlicers is I>o ing made by direc tion of no less an authority than the Presi dent himself. Postmaster General Vilas was partly en gaged this week in much needed work of re vising the postal regulations, which have not been amended since 1877. The Post master General also found time to reply, in the negative to the postal clerk, asking per mission to bold a convention to discuss the needs of the service, and advising them that the proper way to secure those aims and ends would be to make such suggestions to the Department as might occur to them in the practical performance of their duties. Up to the present this month, Govern ment receipts amount to about 511,000,000, and the expenditures, inclusive of £12,000,- 000, in pensions, to £18,501,102, making an enormous excess of disbursltncuts over re ceipts. It is estimated that the receipts for the balance of the month will be £1,000,000 a day, and that the expenditures will be fully as large. The total amount of IKUKIK redeemed under the call, which matured July Ist, is £18,000,250, leaving still out standing of the call £1,626,050, the whole a inouut of called l>onds notwithstanding is £5, .'t00, 450. At present the Treasury tinds itself unable to supply the heavy demand for notes of small denominations,hut orders have been issued to do so as soon as practic able. To prove that President Cleveland, who has probably received more abuse ami ad verse criticism from the soldiers than any of his predecessors, is really their best friend, having done better by them than any other President, it is only necessary to refer to the records of the Pension Office. During the tirst two years of his term, President Cleveland has approved 803 private pension hills, Gen. Grant in eight years, only approved 485, Hayes in four yearr, 504, and Garfield and Arthur hut 730 in the same time. In addition to this, Presi dent Cleveland has approved three general {tension hills—March 10th, 1880, increasing to twelve dollars the pensions of 711,787 widows,minors and independent relatives of Union soldiers: August 4th, 1885, the pen sions of 10,030 infirm and mamictl Union soldiers of the civil war from £24 to £SO to :Mi, and from £3O to £37.50 to £45 per month. The act of J an. 27th, 1887, which liasalread y placed upon the pension rolls 8,455 sur vivors of the Mexican War and their wid ows, and during the present fiscal year that number will he increased at least 25,000. The Pension Office records democrats be yond the shade of doubt, the assertion of ltcpuhliean corresjsindents to the contrary notwithstanding, that 131,180 more certifi cates of pension were issued during the first two years of a Democratic Administration than during the last two years of Kepubli can control. And during the same time the sum distributed to pensioners by the Demo crats exceeds by £10.017,028,90 the amount distributed by the Republicans for the same purjmse and time. It is also suscepti ble of proof that in the matter of new kiiam es added to the pension list, the Cleveland Administration is 15,408 names ahead of the last two years of the Republican regime. Such strong atguments as these are suffi cient to put to shame the Republican charge that President Clevelaudand the Democracy arc unfriendly to soldiers in the Union.

RLOOMINGTON, 111., July 15—.Cen tral Illinois is experiencing the most intense heal known in this section for many years, aud it has been rendered less euduranle by the long drought.

The crops aie suffering gieatly, and iu some places they are badly "fired." They Didn't Close Their Hotels. HUNTINGDON, Pa., July 18.—'To-day was the time ap|M>iuted by the Hun tingdon hotel keepeis to close their places of business ar.d they had made all Ihelr arrangements to do so by dis charging their clerks and servants, but a number of lending business men pre vailed upon them to keep open. This was hailed with delight, as the closing of the hotels would have proven a se vere blow to transient men and the public generally. Still Lighting Fires With Kerosene. PITTSBURG, Pa,, July 17.—Two more victims of the oil cau were icported, making five fatalities from the rame cause in tho last twenty-four hours. At Apollo, Pa. Mrs. William Dougherty tried to kindle flire with oil, with the usual result. The can exploded? throw ing the burning fluid over her clothing, and before the 11 tines could be extin guished she received burns, from which she died* A similar accident happened at McDonalds, Pa. A Relgian woman named Moshen was lighting the fire with kerosene when her clothing look fire and she was fatally burned. Her husband was also badly scorched iu his attempt to extinguish the flames: PETERSON'S MAGAZINE for August is ut baud, in even belter season thin usual. This second number of the new volume is fully equal to that of July, and to say so is to bestow very high praise. The steel-olate is charm ing, and the fashion and needlework designs aie first-class. Miss Bowman's serial. "Aloug the Bayou," increases in interest, and the humber abounds in capital tales and pretty peoms. Un less the other magazines for the month liave very unusual attractions to offer, they will have to !>e content to see "Peterson" bear tiff all the honors.

(■etting Around the Inter-State Law. CHICAGO, July 17. Before the inter state cotnmeice law went into effect the favorite practice of the railroads who d.'sired to cut rates and discriminate in favor of large shippers was to grant re bates. This being prohibited by the new law, some of the western roads now hit upon a plan by which they will discriminate in favor of certain ship pers. Instead of granting rel/aUs,these roads, it is said, are now paying ten per cent, of regular rates to persons se curing them busiiifss. While these roads pretend to pay such commission to freight solicitors only, yet it can easily be seen Ibat the commissions can be paid to any member of a large firm on the pretence that such party is H freight solicitor.

UTICA, July 17.—An accident hap pened to the president's train last night while returning from Clayton to Alder Creek. The train was brought to a stop before the president's party be came aware that there was an accident.
