CENTRE TOWNSHIP.
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONTENTION.
in accordance with
the
resolution
nasseJ at a meetinz of the
Demo-
cratic Executive Committee on Juiy
51. 1 So?. I hereby eive notice that
the Democrats of Pennsylvania by
their duly c'nosen representatives wi.l
meet in State Convention in William-
sport, on Wednesday. bEpiEMiiSR ir,
1895, at 10 c'clock A. M, for tne
purpose of placing in nomination
candidates for the office of State
Treasurer and Judges of the Superior
Court, and for the transaction ot sicn
other business as may be presented.
In accordance with Rule 6, Section
1, unanimously approved by tne
State Convention September 19, 1&95,
representees snail consist of repre
scntative delegates, one for each one
thousand votes cast at the last preced
ing Presidential election or for a frac
tion of sucn vote amounting to nve
hundred or more, in the respective
representative disficts, provided that
each representative district shall have
at least one delegate.
R. E. Wright, Chairman.
Matt Savage, Secretary.
When Mr. Buckalew said in his
convention speech last Tuesday that
the result of the election in this coun-
ty last fall was owing to the hard
times ar.dthe action of a few base
men." he meant somebody, but he
didn't mean those who were hard a;
work trying to get out the vote at that
time.
The resolutions adopted by the
convention last Tuesday endorsing
Judge Eucher for Superior Judge, and
Senator Cochran and Represenative
Fritz and Creasy for their course in
the legislature, and Collector Grant
Herrlna for his administration of the
office of Internal Revenue Collector,
were all well merited compliments,
and were passed unanimously.
It is admitted, even by those who
would like to see the Derrocratic
party without any financial or politi
cal reserve upon which she micht
draw in the hour of financial or politi
cal distress, mat the Treasury situa
tion is regarded as encouraging, aside
from the decline in the gold reserve ;
for the receipts are gradually approxi
mating to the expenditures. Admit
ting the recline in the gold reserve,
it must also be admitted that the re
ceipts are increasing, and that trust
worthy of:.cu!s express the belief that
they will soon equal the expenditures;
so what is the use ot repining.
D. C Dewitt, Ks'i., of Towanda, is
a candidate lor the nomination of one
of the six Superior Court Judges to
be named Ly the Democratic State
Convention at Williamsport on the
nth of September next. Mr. Dewitt
is a thorough lawyer and a good Dem
ocrat and would doubtless add strength
to the ticket. He is the only candi
date in this section of the State and
we see no good reason why he should
not be nominated. His pre eminent
abilities have been called into play in
all of our national elections and there
are few who are better posted on the
public questions of the day.
CIECIMSTAlfcES ALTER CASES.
The virtuous attitude of Stanley
Matthew Ouay a reformer of all
monopolies and all national and
municipal corruption as now fully
outlined in his manifesto of the oth
instant, is something of a surprise to
mends and strangers alike. The
very things he now proposes to do
should have been done long ago, for
they are no doubt quite needful for
good and pure government, whether
national, state or municipal. The
trick seem:) to be to do them. But
why so late about issuing such a
worthy manitesto. He says in it
among other things, "our success will
commit the State organization against
the use of money in politics ; to a
firm resistance to corporations con
troling legislatures, town councils,
. primaries and elections." That's
enoughj and should his success do
nothing more than this it would be
glory enough to cover a dozen future
campaigns nd entitle him to a gran
ite monument higher by three feet
and four inches than that of George
Washington, who couldn't lie out of
cutting the cherry tree when his
father spoke to him about it.

and Secretary Gresharn and their at

Nicaragua affair, Gov. Hastings and
the LCh's'ature use ! this lanauue:
We condemn and denounce the
tujuneuess, ihtatormesn ana lack of
national and patriotic rpirit which
has characterize J the administration
at Washington Hi deal.rg with th.s
complication, and
" We regard as a betrayal of
fundamental American )rinc'ple.
and wiled on the part cf the Chief
Executive and the hea 1 of the depart
ment of State, to interpose resolutely
and effectively arvint such forcible
invasion of a sister republic, and
against such infraction of the principle
and precept of the Monroe doctnn-j.
They d.rected that a copv of t.r.s
insult should be sent to the President
and Secretary.
A few days after this resolution was
approved by Governor Hastings the
death of Secretary Gresham was an
nounced, and straightway this body,
the General Assembly of Penn
sylvania, passed the followinz joint
resolution which Governor Hastings
just as promptly approved :
" hereas. Phis House has heard
with profound sorrow of the death of
Hon. Water O. Gresham, Secretary
of State of the United States, and
desire to place on record its appreci
ation of his worth as a citizen, and Irs
patriotic devotion to his country in
hour ot pern, as well as am vo''e
service to the American people in
timt of peace ; therefore be it
Resoived, I hat in the death of
Hon. Walter Q. Gresham our country
has lost a brave and ga.lant soldier,
an enlightened jurist, and a statesman
of broad and liberal views, and that
bis services to bis country on the
battlefield, as well as when he held
the important and honorable po.i
tion of Postmaster General, Secretary
of the Treasury, and Secretary of
State, will always he gratefully
REMEMBERED EY THE AMERICAN PEO
PLE."'
They directed that a copy of this
be sent to the " bereaved family !'
w ithin two weeks they had denounc
ed Gresham as utteily lacking " na
tional and patriotic spirit," and prais
ed him for his " noble services to the
American people in time of peace."
On May ai, according to them he
betrayed ' American principles and
neglected " his patriotic civil duty,
and on June 5 he was eulogized by
these same detractors as a "States
man ot broad ana liheral views.
whose services as Secretary of the
State will always be gratefully re
membered by the American people
Will the Pennsylvania Legislature

COMMERCIAL-
Dun's Review oftheioth instant
says : Easiness continues unusually
active for midsummer, and, though
there is perceptible relaxation, there
are no sisins of reaction. It is said
that about 100,000 miners will have
their wages increased after the 1st of
October as the result of the recent
amicable settlement between coal
miners and their employers in West
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
Taken altogether the crops of the
year promise much better than was
expected, and the efiect is highly en
couraging. Lven thoush all crops
should not be full, there is quite suffi
cient to warrant the encouragement
now perceptible.
" 1 he outgo ot gold continues, and
excites some comment, because it is
felt that the bond syndicate could
arrest the movement at once if it
pleased by reducing the rate of ex
changes."
If any bond syndicate, whatever,
has to day power to either make or
unmake financial trouble for this Gov
ernment then the sooner the Govern
ment can enact such legislation as will
place us financial affairs beyond the
control of such syndicate the better.
We think it will hardly do to say this
is impossible where an honest effort
is made. A universal or poor man s
bond would soon fix 'em ; but this we
fear we'll never get.
Decline in Steam Railroad Earning.
The aggregate gross earnings of all
railroads in the United States report
ing for July, or a part of this month
is 34.99535 an increase of 17
per cent, compared with last year, and
a decrease of 10.9 per cent, compared
with the corresponding period in ion a
On trunk lines the loss compared with
July, 189a, is 5. 8 percent., western
roads, i.a per cent, and southern
per cent. loss. Whatever the loss in
steam traffic may be, it is no doubt
more than made up by the earnings
of the electric roads, which certainly
tend to reduce the earnings of all
steam railroad companies even though
the privilege of carry fi eight denied
them.

Not discriminating in favor of churches
(somehow lightning often strikes them
without regard to denomination or
apparent zeal and fidelity) the First
Baptist church was struck, making a
large hole in the roof immediately
over the pulpit and tiding cons; Jera
b e damage to the interior of the
church. The hail accompanying the
storm are reported as being as large
as walnuts, and as having broken all
windows exposed to their fury. Many
people were stunned by the sharp
electrical concussions, and sonu never
recovered consciousness. At Fair
mont, S. C, one terrible bolt struck
four of a family down ; two to instant
death, while two may possibly recover.
At Glen Springs an old negro woman
was shocked beyond recovery. At
Winfield Nicholas Kipp was struck
dead, and fell prostrate over the sleep
ing body of his son. The father was
in the act of closing the window when
stricken. George J. Mallin was also
stunned by the severe concussion and
after recovering consciousness he
found the angry ciouds above him h s
only covering, the roof of his house
having been blown o:T and the hetvy
downpour of ram having thoroughly
drenched him. His damages are esti
mated at $Sso. At least a half dozen
barns with contents are leported as
destroyed bv this storm in the county.

Franconia, wr.h his valuable crop of

The loss is here reported as $i a.ooo,

John G. Rirhman's barn and contents
was a loss to him of $1,000. In Bucks
