That tire Democratic State Conven
tion which met fit Krie on tVetfiresdar
of last week reflected the earnest and
sincere wishes of the friends of honesty
ami reform in tlie government of this
fctate is now an acoeptetl (act. That
it did its work faithfully- and well is
manifested ly thejthtindersof applause
with which the nomination of Cyki s
Ij. Prksiiino for Governor and the
selection of Victor K. Pmi.F.'rr for
State Treasurer has lieen received by
the peopj.k from the shores of Lak
Krie to the banks of the Delaware.
Since the nomination for (ovei nor, in
1SII, of tl at stein and incorruptible,
(ierninn Democrat, Frank K. Siil'NK,
no other nomination lias creatctl a
moro enthusiastic response than that
of Cyrus L. Persuing. What can we
sav to the people, of Cambria county
about his admitted ability and ap- ,
proved integrity, in addition to what
we have so often and so earnestly said
heretofore? A needs no plat form on
which tostaivt, for the plain and simple
reason that he is a firimj and njica.
iittj platform in himself. His private
as well as his public record is before
the jK-opIe of the State without a spot
or blemish, and cannot be successfully
assailed. Of his triumphant election
we do not permit ourself for one mo
ment to doubt, for in A.s pure and un
tarnished name the people of Penn
sylvania will march to a great and
glorious victory on the second day of ,
iSovember next.
When Cyrus Ij. Pershing is invested
by the taxpayers of this State with the
executive government of their ailairs,
he will lie the same unrelenting ami
avenging foe to the thieves and plun
derers of our own swindled common
wealth that Samuel J. Tilok.n, the
very incarnation of hoiiestgovernment, !
!. I
now is t the Jhuuocrnttv and J;nwb- ,
liran thieves of the State of New York, i
I lldcn and 1 ershn g were both cast in .
the same mould, ami as 1 ilden now iu ,
Xew York is heroically fiirhtinfr the
battle of reform, so will Pershinir
j .r
Hconrge the plunderers of the people of
Pennsylvania and inaugurate a new!
and better era in her public affairs. j
Victor K. Pioi.ktt, the nominee for
State Treasurer, is an able, pure and i
honoreil citizen of Bradford county. !
"When we say that he is the complete j
AutiHde of the present corrupt Ke-
publican State Treasurer, Itolicrt V. '
lacke', and that he has alwaj-s lieen '
the sworn foe of the rotten and de- j
bauched political faction in this State 1
of which Simon Cameron is the head ;
and front, we pay him the highest '
compliment that words can possibly j
bestow upon him. When fie assumes
control of the money of the jieople, 1
honrst men will be put on guard and '
treasury thieves will be sent to the I
rear.
Democrats of Cambria county 1 such .
is the ticket, honestly, fearlessly and !
without any corrupt outside influence '
or dictation, which the Erie Conven
tion has presented to the consideration
of the Democracy of the State for their
supK)rt. Let the verdict at the bal
lot boxes in Cambria county be the
decision of the friends and neighliois
of Cyrus L. Pershihg. As glorious
jjemocratic iamona county answers
in favor of sustaining an honest, jure .
and bold man, so will the people of the
entire State respond. j
Tun Philadelphia IJrenin'j Jlullefin
ably reviews the currency resolutions
or the Erie platform. W hile the Jlul-
Ittin vehemently denounces the plat-
form, the large majority of the Repub
lican newspaicrs of the State are trying
to crawl on it. Some of them have
commenced already. Put having dis-
posed of the Democratic platform on
the curiency, the JIarrisburg J'ofriot
very jertinantly asks the Jlulfetin to
have the goodness to give its renders,
an analysis of the financial plank of the
platform adopted at Lancaster. That i
plank is very short. It is iu the fol
lowing words: "Free tanking, a safe
and uniform national currency adjust
ed to the growing wants of the j
country." Is that a declaration for
hard moiie, greenbacks or nationnl '
bank notes ? Does it mean contraction
or inflation ? If it is not a mere jar-
g n of words, what does it mean ?
The Jhilb-tin has shown great alacrity
iu explaining the Democratic platform,
but though more than four months
hare elapsed since the Lancaster con
vention it has not yet defined the
meaning of its own.
To glorious Victor-K. will Pershing
Piolett the Democratic hosts of Penn
sylvania on the 2d day of NovwnN'r
next.

The Platform atul the Men.
The Pittsburgh Post knows what it i
is talking about when it declares that
the action of the Kric convention has
pleased the people of the entire State
to a, 'much fuller degree even than the
inos. hoieful expected. That diller
j ences of opinion, continues the"W,
, would exist as to matters of policy was
) to be expected among men who are
i intelligently seeking for what is right.
Rut there were no vital differences ot
: opinion presented forthe considerat.on
!oi the Convention, and the result or its
labors fully answer the public expec-
tation. !
The platform of principles enuneia-
tea cover the entire grot m, am. ma.- ;
lenges the severest scrutiny and cnti-.
cism. A redress or grievances, a
restoration of honest and economical
government, a complete purging of
the State Treasury and government of
the corruptions that have so long fes
tered there, and relief from financial
evils, are things which the jieople ini-
1 jieratively demand, and what they are
bound to have.
The idle clamor of a few Ilingsters
alxmt the currency will avail nothing.
The Democracy do not depart from
ancient faith that gold and silver are
i the constitutional basis of the currency.
To reach this without bankrupting the
masses is the aim of the party. The
w isdom ot this course is made a noarent :
l.v ttii.K-inir thf roeult. nf tht -rnel ;
fallacy of forced resumption. It is
yet more than four 3-ears until the
time fixed by the act of last winter,
and what is the result? Already the
current-" is locked up, business is
prostrated, manufactures is nearly at a
standstill, and the condition of things
18 growing worse every tlay, and unless ; port, 1J. M. Spcor moved to adjourn tor one

The prcscntcurrency system, with all ! by a vte of 137 against 101 uot to adjourn,
of its evils and detects, is the work or i
the Radical leaders. The Democracy
propose to take hold of it and work
out relief by a process that will not
crush the masses, and render it next to
impossible for the laboring man to gain
a subsistence for himself ami family
The government shall not discredit its
own currency that is in the hands of,
the people. The ieopIe have faith in
it and the Democracy say that the ;
government, tK, shall have faith in it. !
When the faith shall become mutual, '
then we shall have attained resumption
without having done violence to the
interest of any one.
How is this mutuality of faith to lie
brought about ? There are two plans
proposed. The first is by the Radical
leaders, which proposes to still further
contract
the current--, and compel
specie resumption when there is no
specie with which to resume. When
people cannot get currency with which
to pay their debts it is worse than
nonsense to talk about forcing them to
them
. - . . . 1
niptcy WOllld lm the result.
On the other hand the Democracy
arc opposed to all attempts to force a '
1 ' . . 1 I
resumption of specie payments, as not 1
only unwise but absolutely wicked. !
There is another and a better way to
reach a s.ecie liasis, and that is by
stiniulatinir and nromotincr the indus-
v & r ---------
tries of the country, pruning gradually
away the evils of our present currency
system and building up material pros
perity, by which means the legal tender
currency can be gradually but most
certainly brought to a par with gold.
In this way we will reach the specie
basis with the wealth of the country
still distributed with a fair degree of
c'ialit among the masses. 15y the
Radical process, present distresses will
be increased ten-fold, and when, aftei
years of suffering and deprivation, the
specie basis is reached, the few will
have all the property, whilethemillions
will be left penniless and bankrupt.
Now as between these two proposi
tions it is not hard for intelligent men
' to choose, and we feel assured that they
I will choose the one that leads to the
j desired object through constantly in
. creasing prosperity.
I Of the candidates nominated at Erie,
it can truthfully lie said that their hon
esty is above suspicion, and that they
j are the enemies of the Ring that has so
, fearfully debauched public sentiment
: in this State. Already the Ring or
gans controlled by such Ringsters as
i Errett and Mackey have begun their
jackal attacks upon them, but it will
only add to theii strength. The peo-

Mr. Snyder, one of the anti-Ohio men on
the platfoini committee, called upon Mr.
I Hughes, its chairman, to present iu re
j port. This was greatly applauded. MV.
i Hughes the chairman, declared that if the
j convention would adjourn until three p. m.
I it would save time and enable the commit

that the withdrawal of ex Gov. , Bigler's

of Mr. Pershing and secured his nomina

HOW HE ntXtlVED THE NEWS 0,WJV0M-
1M AT ION HIS VIEWS OX THE ABSORB- f
'.'1KG QtESTION OF THE HOfrX.'
' A special dispatch from Pottsvllle to t3i
Phila. Time, bearing date Sept. W, says :.
The news of ihe-nommation of Uiqge
i'erahing lor tTovernor nio noi ieaV w
until about 9 o'clock this morning. It gave
great satisfaction to the jtirige a many
friends, and these are of both parties, as
his able administration of justice in this
county has Commanded the admiration or
all gootl . citizens, and his pleasant social
qnalities make all who come in contact with
him feel tht they are in the society of an .
educated gentleman. Judge Pershing is
one of the? most tvna."dng of men, never
nalrii. nA;A lL Kl.in 'lii tfl till OIlS
Iiim feel proud of their judgment. Judge i
i ersnuig i e cv ivi-n quite s mimun v
gratulatory dispatches from the . most
prominent men in the Democratic party, j
which Reems to Verify the assertion of The ,
Times' Erie correspondent that there is no
personal antagonism against Mr. Pershing.
At the couit house to-day he was sur
rounded by an admiring crowd anxious to
hear what the gentleman whom they be
lieved would be onr next Governor had to
say. The nomination seems to have been
unexpv-cted by htm, and be says he had no
rfesire for it, aud only the earnest solicita-i-
. - . f e j. i j i.; i : . I . S n
lion ot menus iiniueeii nun w peiiini ma
nitma to go before the convention. Ibit
that lieing mumnated, he will, if elected,,
cheerfully undertake the duties of t he office,
and perftirm them impartially and to the
best of his ability. Ire "believes that the
great need .of the present is to secure for
l the people an honest ami economical govT
i eminent, and to awaken so deep an hrtcresf
j in public affairs among the ' whole mass Of
) the people and such a jealons a'ppreemtfi'ii
j of the reciprocal lights and dirties of the
j governing and the governed, nd thatsnrch
i an ut ter disregard of these rights and du--;'
ties as has characterized the administration
'of public afTWtrs during, the past fifteeir
I vears may in the future be impossible.
That i thorough reorganization of all
branches of government is necessary so that
no more ersim shall have public employ;
ment t ban is necessary to perform the work.
On the subject of the finances Mi. Pershing
was reticent, not desiring to express any
opinion upon a subject which had so little
to d with tbe oflioe for which he has been
nominated. He said that political plat
forms meant very liftle at this day. That
in the United States every year, for many
years, an average of seventy-two platforms
had been adopted, and. jet but little, if
anything, bad been accomplished by them.
That he supjssed many Republicans would
sland on t he Democratic platform and vote
the Republican ticket, and tir-e vsr. The
judge has not j-ct received any official no
tification of his nomination. If the ople
of Pennsylvania should elect Judge Persh
ing they will certainly have reformer for
1 Governor who, in the administration of
j lHiblic affairs, w in" know neither friend tior
for, snn will never be influenced by either
fear or favor. He came to this county in
the interest of refmm, and in the few years
he has boen here he has unflinchingly per
formed cvery diity of his ollice as judge.
The iMJopIe of Schuylkill comity appieciate

where she was least looked for. In the
mountains of $chuyrkill, where disoider
and lawlessness have so long reioned, the
people in a fortunate hour called Cyrus L.
i Pershing from his distant home to hold the
scales of justice before themv He came a
j stranger, and with the single puiose of
j discharging his responsible duty with lidel
; ity. In this epidemic of official peculation
( it was deemed safe for tbe ComiiHsshiiem
; of Schuylkill county to poeket illegitimate
j profits iu the construction of a new county
j building. They reasoned that it was done
1 elsewhere ; that nearly every city bad its
I confederated band of plunderers, and that
j they escaped the toils of retribution-. They
pointed to I hiladclphia, where millSum 1
j are stolen ns if in ojeii day, an ! justice
sleeps over the public wrongs, and why not i
plunder in Schuylkill, w here law was often- j
powerless and jtn-tice as often mocked?
j They stole but a few thousand dollars
j not more than would satisfy an average
; Council committee in a small job. But
; seven thousand dollars all told were filched
j from the public treasury, and they felt
sain. ti ere iney nt wemciatic com
missioners, in a Democratic county, with
Democratic juries, a Democratic District
Attorney and a Democratic Judge? And
with such political power to aid them, who
could call them to justice ? But they were
brought before a court in which Judge
Pershing presided, and there justice was
blind to social position, to political inllu-
ence aim to olticial honors. To the utter
consternation of the plunderers they were

brave, just Judge quickened the inteirritv
of officers of the court and of tho jury by
the sterling impartial manner in which he
discharged his own duty and denned the
duties of others. The evidence was con
clusive, for the truth was protected by the
honest "administration of the law, and con
viction followed. Yesterday the closing
scene in this impressive lesson was enacted.

for the election of Judge Pershing to the

of his othcial acts as the represent
