That class of political nobodies who are always willing to pio their faith to the re- fuse of Republican conventions, and are eternally prasing about gesting a Republi- oan on the Demoocratio ticket, received a solar-plexus blow, on Monday last, when Judge RICE announced that ‘‘under no oir- oumstances would he accept a nomination by the Demooratic convention.” While the declination of an honor that he could nos have secured in any manner, was en- tirely unnecessary, bis action will at least give that class of fellows who parade ae Democrats, but who always want to vote for a Republican, time to sit down and find ont exactly where they are at. To this extent Judge Rice did a good thing. His action won't change the situation a parti- ole but it will leave the political hermapb- rodite to take his bearings anew and force bim to adopt some otber plan, or con- jure with some other name, in bis effort to distract and divide the Democracy.

Their defeat by Renovo on Wednesday placed them in the position of tail-enders in the Central Pennsylvania league. Bat the boys are not discouraged and are confi- dent that they will yet strike a winning pace. One thing to help them do this isa far more liberal patronage by the people of Bellefonte. The attendance at the games is not large enough by any means. It not only fails in financially supporting the team bus quite naturally fails to give the players the vim and enthusiasm they should have to win. Last Friday Lock Haven and Bellefonte played their two postponed games on Hughes field, the visitors winning the first by the score of 5 to 3 and Bellefonte tak- ing the second, a seven inning game, by the score of 7 to 0. On Saturday Belle. fonte went to Lock Haven and was defeat. ed by the score of 3 to 0 in a six inning game. On Wednesday of this week Reno- vo again defeated Bellefonte on Hughes field by the score of 8 to 7. Out of eight games so far played Bellefonte bas won two and lost six.
