For many years it has been cus tomary in the distribution of county offices, for the Democratic party in this comity to give to the south side ol the river its proportionate share of the offices, according to the vote cast. As about two-thirds of the vote was on this side, and one-third on the other side of the river, it has been customary to choose the sheriff and county treas urer from the other side every third term, while one commissioner has been almost uniformly conceded. In this spirit of fairness a rule was adopted at the last revision of the Democratic rules providing that when two candidates are to be nomi nated for the same office, each voter should vote for one candidate on each side of the river, and that the offices ot sheriff and treasurer shall be filled from the south side every third term, 'as has been the cus torn in past years." This rule was intended merely to assure to the south side what had always been conceded to it. At the last primary election in .June the two candidates on the south side received the highest number of votes cast for county commissioner, and this happened because the voters on that side did not observe the rule that was made exclusively for their benefit. The north side divided its votes, voting for one on the south side, while the south side largely cast its votes for . the two south side candidates, and the result was the large vote for the latter. The county convention declared the nominees to be C. L- Pohe of the south side, who receded the highest vote of all, and J. A. Hess, who received the highest vote on IN THE COUNTY Surplui ond Undivided Profits 3150,000. this side, a decision which was en tirely in nccord with the custom of the party, and the rule made in compliance therewith. it ti this decision William B. Shuck wfis not satisfied, though he announced himself as a candidate "subject to the rules of the Demo cratic party." an I has entered the field ns a candidate for the office of county commissioner, on nomina tion papers. What this leads up to is this : Mr. Pohe will undoubtedly be elected, though 110 one should feel so sure of this as to neglect to vote for him. If by any means Mr. Shuck should succeed, it would give the 5011th side two commis sioners instead of one, and would no doubt result in the rescinding ol the rule not only as to county com missioner ' but also as to Sheriff and treasurer, and then the south side would cet the candidates only when it could secure enough votes to nominate them. Does the south side want this ? The way to avoid it is to stand hv the rules of the party, and vote the straignt uemocratic ticket from top to bottom. The Democratic ortranizat'nn in this County is working hard for the wnoie ucKct and it will leave no stone unturned in its efforts to elect It. The Executive Cnmmittpo !nA Chairman are deviant wave anA means how best to reach the voters and get them all out. Democratic voters, don't comoel the Cnmmiitpp to do this ; make some individual enort yourselves to accomplish it. Let us take some oride in tppnincr our county Democratic, and spend a few hours once a vear nn fWti7.n day in the interest of the party and win ine nope ot maintaining our supremacy. It will be a Knurr r satisfaction and gratification to us, wnen tne election is over, if we have a good majority, and we will also feel that our effoits have not been in vain, and see the utter falsity of the statement that our majority in the County is fast de clining. The Andrew Jackson Democrats in the County are not all dead yet, and this ear some of them will be much in evidence. Do not get into your head that this is an off year and then not ea to the polls to vote. It is not an off vear for we have an imnortant State office to fill, viz: That of State Ireasurer, and the Hon. Wm. H. Kerry is the man who will o-nirH the tax payers' money with an eagle eye. v oie tne straight Democratic ticket. M. II Rhoades. the Demnprntir Candidate for County Treasurer will be elected, but we do not want to take any chances on it ; so there fore let every Democrat in the County tro to the noils on eWtirm d:y and cast his vote straight for a ticket from the State down that has men on it who are honest, honor able and democratic. Let there be 110 stay-at-home Democrats. Let us show our Republican friends that Columbia County has still its usual democratic majority. Mr. Berry will eet the Democra tic vote of the state, the entire Pro motion vote, and the Independent Republican vote in every county. It is believed this is sufficient to iu sure his election if the Democrats turn out in force. Under these circumstances, let every Democrat be at the polls. We can win a vic tory if we will make the effort. It win not be for party, but for hones ty and against rascality in the state treasury. Vote for C. M. Terwilliger for Prothouotary and Clerk of the Courts. He is the regular Demo- cratic nominee, and is a Candidate lor a Fecond term as is the custom in that office. Mr. Terwilliger lias been a very good official, and attends to the duties ot his office well. Vote the straight Democratic ticket. o iua p bniA . Bnntli ine Kind Yon Ham Always THE PUBL10 TUN 1)3 AS QANQ'd Are the men of Pennslvania going to keep on voting that the members of the gang shall have the command of the great surplus in the State Treasury for their ptr sonai use r This question is pertinent in view of the constantly increasing evi dence that State funds are habitu ally placed oil deposit with certain batiks on condition that large loans snau be made to men high in the "organization" and quickly with drawn when such loans ate refused or the borrowers are forced to pay. Following the exposures made by Homer L. Castie and William H. Berry, J. B. Corry, a director of the Braddock National Bank, in an interview on Wednesday, said : A few ears ago the Braddock National Bank was made one of the State depositories. The State Treas urer consented to deposit some money with us. and sent. I think. a draft for $10,000. The dv nns it entry was hardly dry on our books until one of the ring politicians came to Braddock with a note for discount. We did not like the se curity he offered and turned the note down. The State dennit checked out immediately. That encieu me liraddoek Nat mm Bank's State depositoryship. About two vears ap-o a friend rf our bank approached J. G. Keliy, our president, with a proposition to get us a $20,000 State deposit if we woum aiscount a ungster's note. Mr. Kelly said to him: " Whv not make it $100,000?" A lew days afterward he rime back, say ine we could have ttm . 000 deposit if we would discount a $20,000 note for one of the ring politicians. I don't remember the man's name. We turned the note down and got no State deposit. I have been told hv n en who know that there are few banks that have State mouev on denosit that 1 don't have to make loans to rintr politicians. So notorious is this fact 1 would not consent to have the Braddock National Ra nk become a State depository on any condition. liarlier in the earnnaicn Senator Penrose said of a statement hv Mr Castle similar but not quite so ex- puLu: mere is not a damned word of truth in it." A dav or two later when Mr. Castle named the bank, Mr. Penrose admitted tW the statement was true. Neither Mr. Penrose nor the Andrews brothers, nor anv of the others involved are making denials now. Nobody doubts that thev would if they could. These are the uses for which a surplus running from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 is kept in the State Treasurv while the insane wards of the SUte have been kept huddled like swine in over-crowded, dilapi dated, unclean rookeries and creat public enterprises like the exten- sion 01 capitoi l'ark have been turned down. The public money in the State Treasury is the gang's private asset and it will be so for three years longer if the people this Fall do not vote Plummer out and Berry in. Harrisburg Patriot. Jerry A. Hess and C. L. Pohe are the regular Democratic nomi nees for the office of County Com missioner. In their hands the interests of the taxpayers will be carefully looked after, and the people's money guarded as well as it can be, and the County tax rate be kept as low as economy will permit. Both will make honest, capable and efficient officers. Their Democracy was imbibed from their parents and grand parents. They have sprung from the old line Democrats and they are entitled to an old time majority. Straight tickets voted by all of us will give them this.

Our atfele of lust week on that subject may therefore have been somewhiit premature as Mr. Bogart feels, though our informa tion at the time was that he intend ed to be a candidate, from a source which was considered reliable. Much pressure was brought to bear upon him to induce him to file papers, but his own good judgment and his loya'ty to his party pre vailed and he did not permit him self to be used in that way. Mr. Bognrt 1 as made a good county commissioner and hi has acted wisely in not spoiling his record by being an independent candidate It was only natural that he should feel hurt in nut being given a second term, as there are very few men who would not have felt the same way under the circumstrtiices, but he has gracefully accepted the situ ation, and this removes much of the complication in the commission er fight. - - Kttumed to Florid William II.
