CAMPAIGN INQUIRER
The INQUIRER will be issued as u cam- j
a.aign paper from and after the Ist of July to
the 1—tl of October, 1866, to accommodate
those who are not regular subscribers.
The importance of the campaign should
stimulate the Republican party to place the
lxijt inKK in the hands of every friend of Re
publican principles in this county. The can
vass will not only be important in view of the
election of a Governor, but it will be recol
lected that a member of Congress, Senator,
two Representatives, and a full county ticket
from Prothonotary down to Auditor are to be
elected. Every member of the Republican
party should be alive to the necessity of
promptly distributing healthy reading matter
•among the masses. Bedford county must be
•carried against Copperbcadism at the coming
election. We were only beaten on an aver
age from 160 to 140 last fnl!. At least 160
deserters voted to make this majority. Since
then the bill disfranchising deserters has be
come a law and they will bo excluded from
voting at the next election. This gives the
Republican party a majority of a few votes.
Now then is the time to wrench the political
•ascendency from the party which, as a body,
has so terribly abused its power in this coun
ty (or the last four years, and to accomplish
this much desired result the I.vqcjbkr will
labor earnestly and deal most vigorous blows.
IJvcry Union >lan in the County, with
out an exception, should have a Copy.
Let our friends see that this is the case. A
little exertion will do it.
REGULAR TERMS:
The Jxqcihei: will be sent, one year, for
S 2.00, if paid in advance; $2.50 if not paid

Tub Dei.eoatb Elections. —The Repub
licans will hold their delegate election 8
throughout the county to-morrow. (Saturday)
to select two delegates in each election dis
trict to represent them in the County Con
vention to assemble in this place on next
Tuesday. We would urge upon the substan
tial men of the party the necessity of attend
ing these elections. Here is the place to
commence a good ticket, by selecting men of
judgment and charactef for delegates, and
when this is done you can rest assured that
the ticket will be such a one as will meet the I
approbation of the entire party. Very often
the men who have no interest in the public
welfare, or the party, hold these elections
and the result is that tickets are nominated j
that are far from containing the names of the j
best and most popular men.
There is one plan of electioneering that
we have always deprecated and which we
hope that every district in the county will
discountenance; it is this:—A candidate an
nounces his name for some particnlar office,
and a week or two immediately preceding
the election, he proceeds to canvass the coun
ty. the first district he enters he endeavors to
find two imln idaals who are willing to sup
port him tor the position to which he aspires,
he prevails upon them t> run for delegates,
and each candidate in his turn pursues the
same course, until there are as many setts of
delegates .ns there are candidates in the field.
This is no more nor less than an insult to
die intelligence of the district, and we would
suggest the propriety of our country friends
putting their veto upon all such interference
*ith their vested lights. The proper plan is
''>r the voters to hold a caucus previous to
opening the election and to select two of
Ul '■!' hest men to represent them. These
t' l ' 'demon can be instructed, and if they are
"":n .they ought to be, they will obey j
d" r instructions. The people have a per- j
right to say who shall be their officers!
an.) we Bre opposed to any under-handed inter- j
1 once with their privileges. Let the dele
tes elected to morrow he the best men in
, ! ooun ty, and not the suggestions of those ;
o have no other motive than self. If such
'"on come here as we have suggested, a ticket
*'ll be nominated that will carry terror into '
' °Pperli,- idism and insure its defeat.

THE COPPERHEAD CONVENTION. —The Cop
perhead Convention assembled on last Tues
day. and placed the following ticket in nom
ination:
Congress, A. H. Coft'rotb, of Somerset;
Senator, 15. F. Meyers, of Bedford; Prothon
otary, (). h,. Shannon, of Bedford; Sheriff,
Robert Steckman, of Bloody Run; Associate
Judge, George W. Gump, of Napier; Coni
mi.-sioner, David Howsare, of Southampton;
t'oor Director, Michael Diehl, of Colerain,
and Auditor, John D. Lucas, of Bloody Run.
fhe whole ticket lies, with one exception,
South of the Turnpike in the small space of
four districts. Bloody Run, with less thau
thirty Copperhead votes, has two candidates.
1 here is only one candidate, an unimportant
one, \\ est and North of Bedford. Great dis
satisfaction appeared to exist, and as far as
we were able to learn, no ticket has been
uomiuated for years by that party with as lit
tle enthusiasm. It fell like a dead weight,
indicative of its doom on the second Tuesday
of October.
LoAi'Kits.—Our town seems to be blessed
with an unusual number of the class of ani
mals. belonging to the genus homo, known
as loafers. They may be seen on almost any
warm afternoon on the shady-side of the
hotels: but Sundays are the mo6t prolific
days. 'Tis then these drones fairly swarm
about hotel fronts and street corners, and
block up the pavements, so that even the
church-going throngs are constrained to take
the street or pass by 011 the other side, for be
it known that loafers seldom exhibit intelli
gence enough to make way for passers by.
It is to be feared that these pests are on the
increase, and it behoves the good citizens of
the borough to see to it that measures are
taken for the abatement of this nuisance be
fore it attains such proportions as to make it
unmanageable.
STEAM MERCHANT MILL. — Messrs. John G.
Hartley, William M. Hartley and S. S. Metz
gar "raised ' their new mill in this borough
during last week, aud hare it now readv for
: the roofing. The building is 40 by 60 feet and
three stories high. They contemplate hav
ing it in running order by the middle of Au
gust. We hear it currently reported that a
Planing Mill is to be attached. These gen
tlemen deserve great credit for this enterprise,
fhis is the first application ot steam to a Mill
in this county. We hope the project may be
a paying one. and we have no doubt that it
will be, all the fogies to the contrary not
withstanding.
PROGRESS OF THE EPISCOPAL MOVEMENT IN
BEDFORD. —There seems at last to be every
prospect of our having an Episcopal church
in Bedford. The \ estry have just received
from an Architect in Philadelphia the design
of a very beautiful stone gothic edifice, which
if erected, will be quite an ornament to the
town. It is proposed to build on the South
cast corner of John aud the proposed exten
sion of Richard streets, being part of the
Watson estate, and will be a very pretty loca
tion. On referring to our advertising columns
will be found a notice of a public sale, under
a recent enabling act of the Legislature,
the the lots on Penn street known as the
Episcopal lots which will take place on Sat
urday, July 7.
A MODEL HOTEL. —Our friend Morrison
of Huntingdon is the beau ideal of a landlord
and keeps one of the best hotels in the State.
"Morrison knows how to keep a hotel" is the
spontaneous exclamation of all who have
stopped with him in his new house opposite
the Central Railroad Depot, Huntingdon, Pa.
We advise our travelling friends to give him
a call, and if they are not well entertained
we will agree to foot the bill. If any ot our
hotel keepers travel that way they may learn
a thing or two by stopping at Morrison's.
