A Good Ticket.
It has been many years since the
Democracy of the county has been
as fortunate in the make up and
location of its ‘county ticket as
that given by the Convention of
Tuesday last. No one will dispute
the qualification of any one named,
and a glance at the location of the sev-
eral nominees ehows how fairly all
parts of the county were served, We
are not much of an advocate of loca-
tion, unless fitness accompanies the as-
prrant, but when entire fitness as well
as location can be ‘secured, the ticket
cannot be’ otherwise than - popu:
lar and the action of the Convention
in making it ‘heartily endorsed and
approved. HOHOE ant
While the county has yet to make
its contest for Congress, it has for its
candidate a gentleman who'hae the gen-
eral confidence of our people, as ig proy-
en by his unanimous selection for the
place. In presenting Mr. WILLIAMS
for this position Centre county does it
with the full assurance, to the Democ-
racy of the other counties comprising
the district, that if he is honored with
the nomination, that they’ will bave a
candidate in évery way worthy their
confidence and support, and when elec-
ted, a representative who will carefully
and faithfully guard every interest of
the district. Mr. WILLIAMS is a prac:
ticing attorney at the bar in this place,
filled the office of the Prothonotary for
two terms in a manner highly satisfac:
tory to the public, and if nominated
will not only polla large vote at home,
but do his full share to assist the Dem-
ocracy of the other counties in winning
an overwhelming victory. As Cen-
tre county has not been honored with
a congressional nomination since the
present district was formed, ita ‘repre-
sentatives will go to the district Conven-
tion earnestly ‘asking that Mr. Wity.
1aMs be named as the nominee,
For Legislatare, it will be seen that
the present member Mr, Jory T. Mo
Cormick, of Ferguson township, and
Mr. Jas. Scuor1sLp, of this place, were
chosen. Mr. McCormick has seryed
one term as Representative, and earned
for himself the reputation of being a
careful, attentive and obliging member
of the House. He was always at his
post and ready to serve his constituents
in any manner their interests required.
With an intelligent 1dea of the work of
the’Legislature, a full knowledge of
the needs of the people of the county
and an earnest desire to do that
which is best for the interests of all,
Mr.iMcCormick cannot fail to be a
strength to the ticket and an influen-
tial member at Harrisburg.
Mr. SemorieLD, who will be Mr. Mc-
CorMick's colleague in the next Legis-
lature, is from this place, and is person-
ally known to three-fourths of the voters
of the county. He has built himself
up from the humble position of jour-
neyman saddlér, to that of one of our
leading business men, and has advoca-
ted the policy of the Democratic party
and the interests of the people, from
nearly every political rostrum in the
county. In anything he undertakes
he is as consciencious as he is earnest,
and when sent to Harrisburg his efforts
will bejust as persistent for the infer-
ests of the whole people as they have
been for the parly which has honored
him with the nomination. In Mr.
ScmoriLp the tax-payers of the coun-
ty, as well as the workingmen of the
state, will find an industrious and wor-
thy representative, one, whose every
effort will be put forth in their behalf,
and who {will neither be hood-winked
nor brow-beaten into the support of
any measure ‘intended to oppress or
harrass them.
From ‘five gentlemen, all of whom
were entirely worthy and eminently
fit for the position, the Convention ee-
lected Mr. W. F. Swith, of Penn town-
ghip, asthe nominee for Prothonotary.
Mr. Suits is about. forty years of age,
was a teacher for years, and for some
time back has been following the hon-
orable calling of a farmer. He has
been a Democrat from boyhood, and
has always done his full duty as a
member of the party organization. He
enjoys the entire confidence of his Dem-
ocratic neighbors, as was evidenced by !
the fact that he received the support of
every delegate from the districts on his
side of the county, and has the quali-
fications and disposition to make a
most efficient and popular official.
For the important and honorable
position of Associate J udge the Conven-
tion named, as it was instructed by the
Democrats of the county to do, C. A.
FauLksEr, of Philipsburg. Mr.
FAULKNER is in the prime of life and a
man of of most excellent judgement,
and determined character. He has
the confidence of the people of his sec-
tion of the county to the fullest extent,
and although an uncompromising
Democrat, has for a number of years
been elected collector of the Republi-
| can borough in which he resides. To
the people of the northern and western
ends of the county he is well known
and admired for the many qualities
that go to make up an honorable and
worthy citizen, For many years, in
connection with his father, he was
proprietor of one of Philipsburg’s prin-
cipal hotels, and during all, the time
he was connected with that business
there never was a charge made that he
had violated any law, nor was there
ever a remonstrance filed against grant.
ing him a license. A man ol high
character and pcsitive opinions, of
good judgment and the highest regard
for the honor and welfare of ‘the com-
munity, as a Judge he will faithfully
perform his duties without “fear, favor
or affection’ and, we predict, to the en-
tire satistaction of the law abiding citi-
zen of the county.
W. J. SINGER, Esq., who was nom-
inated by acclamation tor District At-
torney, is a graduate of the law office
of Messrs, Orvis, Bower, and Orvis
and has been a practicitg attorney for
about three years. He is a young
man of most excellent attainments,
popular with all who know him, well
versed in the criminal laws of the
Commonwealth and will make “an
efficient and popular official, He is a
native of Curtin township and has
worked himself up to the position he
occupies by untiring industry and
persevering efforts, He is deserving
and will receive the - support, of. every
voter who admires real worth and de-
sires to see in the public prosecutor's
office a worthy, conscientious: and in-
telligent official, We doubt if the Re-
publicans will place any ope in nomin-
ation against him.
For County Surveyorthe Convention
named Mr. Horace B. Herring, "of
Gregg township. He is a son of Samuel
‘Herring, Esq., than whom the county |,
lias no better citizen’ or more ‘worthy |’
Democrat. - We have no personal: ac-
quaintance with young Mr," HERRING,
but have the assurance from those
who know him’ well, that he has every
qualification to fill, with entire satis-
faction, the position for which he was’
nominated. He is careful, painstak-
ing and competent, and will receive, as
he deserves, the heartiest endorsement
a harmonious party can give to a
worthy candidate.
Such is your local ticket, Democrats
of Centre. Goto work and see that
no wan upon it receives less than one
thousand majority at the polls in Nov-
ember.
AREER SRA
A Good Omen
The Democrats of this county have
reason to congratulate themselves on
the harmony and good feeling that pre-
vailed at Tuesday's Convention, as
well as upon the excellence of the
ticket that was named. We do not
know that we have ever witnessed the
proceedings of a Convention in which
there was less bitterness exhibited, or
a more harmonious acceptance of its
work, and we are sure no better or
more unobjectionable ticket has been
presented for the suffrage of the peo-
ple for many years.
From among the names presented
tothe Convention it would have been a
very difficult matter, in fact it would
have been an impossibility, to have
made a ticket that would have been
strong. They were an exceptionally
good lot of candidates, who presented
themselyes for nomination, and the
fact that they were all worthy of Dem-
ocratic recognition, is shown in the
spirit in which those who were unsuc-
cessful accept defeat. The {man who
cannot be a Democrat in adversity, as
well as in prosperty, is not the kind of
a man the party wants to give its
honors too. There were none of these
kind of candidates on Tuesday, and
now that the Convention is over, the
defeated aspirants will vie with each
other in giving to the successful ones
the same earnest support they would
have expected had the result been in
their favor.
Tt isa good sugary for the party,
when so little of resentment is felt af-
ter the nominations are made. It
shows a healthy condition of the body
politic, and promises a glorious victory
for the principles we all hold dear.

An Extraordinary Case.
Either Mr. H. C. Frick is an extra-
ordinary}man physically or elee there
was an extraordinary attempt made to
have the public believe that he was
more dangerously wounded than the
facts warranted, at the time of his at
tempted assassination. It was exactly
thirteen days from the time Anarchist
BergMAN attacked him, in his office,
until he was back at his desk, with
his sounds all healed and as well as
ever. For a fellow, who it was alleged
had received three bullet wounds and
two knife thrusts, all of which it was
stated at the time were severe and
dangerous, to be healed up and entire-
ly recovered in the short space of thir-
teen days, is getting well so exceeding-
ly quick, that it leaves the impression
that there was a good deal more news.
paper coloring to the affair than there
was danger in the wounds. Either it
was a cace of extraordinary physical
recuperation or of extraordinary lying,
and we are inclined to believe it was
the latter.
§ SY
At Homestead there are no new
developements: The lock-out contin:
ues. The State Guard is still on duty.
Foreign workmen are daily gathered
up to take the place of the Homestead
laborers who refused to accept a reduc-
tion of wages. The Republican press
aad Republican Judges stand by the
monopolists.. The tariff still protects
Carxecie and Frick, and the work-
ingmen are left to protect themselves
against the conspiracy of combined cap-
ital, the Pinkertons, and and all the
other evils that vicious Republican
laws have entailed upon them.
Great are the promisesof Republicans,
and great the benefits their protectien
gives to workingmen ?

A Strange Discovery Made in the Grave of
Roger Williams.
it is said that for the purpose of erec-
ting a suitable monument in honor of
Roger: Williams, the founder of Rhode
Island, his private burying ground was
searched for himself and wife. It was
found that everything had passed into
oblivion. The shape of the coffins could
be traced only by a black line of car-
bonaceous matter. The rusted hinges
and nails and a round wooden knot re-
mained in one grave, while a single lock
of braided hair was found in the other.
Near the graves stood an apple tree.
This had sent down two main roots
into the very presence of the coffined
dead. The larger root, pushing its way
to the precise spot occupied by the skull
of Roger Williams, bad made a turn as
if passing around it, and followed the
direction of the back bone to the hips.
Here it divided into two branches, send-
ing one along, each leg to the heel,
where both turned upward toward the
toes. One of these roots formed a slight
crook at the knees, which made the
whole bear a striking resemblance to
the human form.
There were the graves, but their oc-
cupants had disappeared; the bones even
had vanished. There stood the thief
the guilty apple tree, caught in the very
act of robbery!
the organic matter, the flesh, the
bones of Roger Wililams had passed
into an apple tree. The elements had
been absorbed by the roots, transmuted
into woody fibre that could now be
burned as fuel of carved into ornaments;
had bloomed in fragant flowers that had
delighted the eye of the passer-by and
scattered the sweetest perfume of spring;
more than that. had been converted into
luscious fruit that, from year to year,
had been gathered and eaten.
Now who ate Roger Williams ? Can
you tell ? -Kentucky Homestead.
Streater Re-elected.
His Action in the Iams Case is Endorsed by His
Command.
HoumesTEAD, August 8.—Lientenant
Colonel James B. Streater was to-night
unanimously re-elected to his position
in the Tenth regiment, his term having
expired. Colonel Streater became fa-
mous for his connection with the Pri-
vate Iams case. The unanimous re:
election is an endorsement by all of
Tams's companions 1n arms of the pun-
ishment meted out to him. Iams was
in Homestead to-night, and after the
election three hearty cheers were heard
from the provisional brigade across the
river. The discouraged private inquir-
ed the reason and was greatly chagrin:
ed when he learned the truth.
The re-election of Lieutenant Colo-
nel Streater apparently gives the great-
est satisfaction among the militiamen
in camp here. The entire camp gave
three cheers when the election was
Sas known. Colonel Hawkins start-
ed it,
The advisory committee to-night
gave out that since Saturday between
150 and 160 non-union men have left
the works, The committee is not sur-
prised over the Duquesne surrender, it
having been expected for a week.
There is no discouragement here in
consequence.
The Duquesne mill was running in
full this evening and there is much re-
joicing in that town among the mer-
chants. A few Homestead men were
near the mill gate at 7 o'clock this
evening and hissed the men when they
came out. There was no violence
though.

they are said to be headed for the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad on their way to
Texas. The sheriff and Prosecuting At-
torney Fortney have sent out a deputy
to every railroad station in the country,
and the sheriff himself has gone to Terre
Alta, the most important railroad and
crossroad center in the county. It is re-
ported to-night that the gang was seen
going through Brandonville early this
morning, making for the railroad.

General Stevenson Denies It.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 8.—Gener-

representative about the recent topic
printed in which his name was ass0ci-
ated with the Knights of the Golden
Circle, General Stevenson replied : “1

there was any truth in their stories I
would not have been elected twice to

his delivery wagon newly painted. To
subscribe liberally to every public, char-
itable and church entertainment, ad-
vertise for nothing, paying their own
way to everything and then be called
prejudiced and mean spirited because a
column is not devoted to that particular
aflairr Do you wonder there are

turned out galore to welcome home the
gallant soldier boys who had been called
away so surreptitiously, about a month
ago, to defend the honor of their State
at Homestead.
A telegram, received in this place on
Monday, stated that they could be ex-
pected on any train and a later one car-
ried the intelligence that the 8-54 ex-
press, on Tuesday, would carry our “so-
jers” into Bellefonte. Preparations for
giving them some slight welcome home
celebration were immediately undertak-
en and Geo. L. Potter arranged the en-
tertainment, which proved much of a
success, 8s well as being very enjoyable
to all.
High street,near the passenger station,
was ablaze with colored lights and rock-
ets when the train pulled in. 'Twas
with difficulty Cap’t Reber conducted
his command through the throng that
crowded the street. The Pleasant Gap
band played “Columbia,” while the pa-
rade was formed,and when the first cheers
bad died away it beaded the march up
High to Spring, thence to Bishop, to
Allegheny and the Diamond where it
was dismissed. All along the line hand-
kerchiefs and hats waved for Co. B.
After the dismissal at the Diamond
the boys were marched to their armory,
where knapsacks, guns etc., were put
away. Then they returned to the Court
House yard and listened to the address.
of welcome, delivered by Gen. Jas. A.
Beaver. Other speeches were made by
prominent gentlemen after which a
sumptuous feast was spread for them in
the yard. They did regular Homestead
work at the tables and it took the wait-
ers flying to keep them supplied with
the good Bellefonte]delicacies = which
were served. The rest of the evening
was spent in hand shaking and a gener-
al good time.
Everyfmember of the company was
in good health and just as glad to get
back as we were to have them.
