In no icspect whatever is ho tlio infeiior of his competitor, 'for w lioin not a word of commctidat io; ciin be u teicd that does not with equal force and tinth apply to Mr. Conrad himself. Hut alKwe and beyond all this is tho fact that lie will represent the district as it should be represented politically, and, if elected, will record his vote and nso his inlluetice against the infamous schemes of the most reckless aud dishonest ring that ever cursed a party or disgraced a State, net the least of which in fact the most important and all absorbing of which is the election two years beno of a United States Senator, a high and honorable position fi r which Don Cameron, a true chip of the old block, and the present notorious Secretary of War un der tho Infamous Grant dynasty, is admit ted to ho the "coming man," provided of course that John A. Lemon aud men of his ilk are returned to tho State Senate in suf ficient numbers to secure a consummation 8 devoutly wished by the ruling dynasty. 1 hia ono fact alone should alienate from Mr. Lemon not only the support of every Iomocrat in the district, without w hich ho culd never have attained his present po litical status, but it should turn from him nil honest and decent men ofhis own party, vho abhor as much as Democrats can possi b'y do tbedishonorableand disgraceful acts ir hich the Cameron faction in this State ha so frequently and so boldly perpetrated iu order to attain theirown selfish ends, and that too at tho expense of everything that should bo held sacred among men who love their country and honor its institutions, and who desire more than anything else fair play and an honest deal in mattors public as well as private. Let Democrats and all others who are imbued with such scuti mentsas these Roe to it that no man is elected to the Senate who will vote for Don Cameron, or any member of tho infamous l ing of which ho is tho acknowledged lead er, for tho high and houorablo position of Luited States Senator. Democrats, we must "hold the fort." The prospects are more than bright for a glorious victoiy. The well fed aud well paid minions of the government put forth all their energies nndpowers, aided by a heavy taxation on oflice holders, paid with your money, to carry tho great Western Kates, and were fearfully beaten in the attempt. With increased taxation on the ctlice holders they now seek in tho Eastern Rates to recover their lost ground. Shall re be less brave and invincible than our gallant Western bret hern ? Shall Cambria county be less brave ro less animated by Cioso patriotic sentinieuts which have here tofore prompted aud guided her? forbid if, Leaven ! No, every Democrat is con scious that our success will prevent a con tinuance of national war and sectional bit terness, and that while our own serried lio6ts stand firm, scores of honest Republi cans are with us to day who love our com mon country as much as we do, aud who are willing to aid in the restoration of a true Republican form of government iu place of the present miserable abortion which disgraces th country and robs the treasury with an unsparing hand. o p Gejt. Wadk-Hmpto5, the consei vative candidate for Governor of South Carolina, in a lato speech at Aiken, in that State, t ld tho people to oiler no resistance to ar bitrary arrests, but to submit quietly. If United States soldiers are ordered to fire upon them, the latter must not resist, but bare their breasts and be willing to die for the good of their country. The people are determined upon a peaceful victory and must give no pretext to their enemies to find the slightest grounds for the unjust cbrirs made by Grant aud his cabinet J Indiana he returns to his own State to fol agaiiiit thom. kw up aud tiuiau the good woik. l'ortva iv i , Item vera ts Cambria county, which has been well named "the star that never sets," will give i Tilden and Hendricks a majority of over ' 1200, aud will elect the entire Democratic ' county ticket without a single exception. t tiH wliv uli.ltltil iftA fill lit fin fcii 9 IVia2 not our whole ticket, nominated fairly in a full convention will open doois, present to the people good and true meu well de serving of their united supj-orl? Of Hon. John ReiUy we teed scarcely speak. Reared in the humble abode of honest povei ty, he, by hisbusiuess talent, by his energy, and by a character for puri ty and integrity that has never been and never can bo assailed, has reached his pres ent honorable and well merited position. W. Fiske Courad, the Democratic uora- ineo for State Senator, is iu all respects ! more than the peer of John A. Lemon, and as the district is Democratic we feel assured of his ti iumphaDt election. Our candidates for Assembly are without flaw and above reproach, both ling men of integrity and good repute. Cr.pt. John Downey, a Cambrian by birth, served his country gallantly in tho war of the rebel lion, and is now called a rebel becauso ho i no, a radical. James J. Thomas, the favorite son cf northern Cambria, is too well known to need an introduction from us. A fearless, outspoken and intelligent Democrat, the voto ho is sure to rccoivo will bear ainplo testimony to the high ap preciation iu which he is held. These are tho gentlemen w hom the people have nom inated against tho ring candidates, John II. Urowu, a brieilesa lawyer, and "W. II. Sloan, a young physiciau from Indiana county, neither of whom, however, arc re ceiving any aid or comfort from tho meu who were foremost in placing them upon tlio Republican ticket, although Democrats aro expected to voto for and elect them. Xext on the litt is our woithy candidate for Sheriff, Mr. John Iiyan, the chief object of radical attack and tho man above all others on our ticket whom the desperate le.tdois of tho Republican paity are iloiii;.' their utmost to defeat. Vain, however, -a ill Ik; their elioi ts, forduiing a residence iu our county of over tweuly-ono years, iiiott. of the lime as a nKirchant of ackno'.vl ed diiilegrity and unimpeachable Loi.esty. he h;is won A name and a fame tbat nrtst secure for him tbo eiid !semei't of a hire majority t;f our peop'p, especiuliy in viecv of the fac that he has never had a lawsuit and never oppressed any one in tho effort to secure his own just right.-. Always voting the Democratic ticket, ho never until now sought an office, although eminently fitted to till any position of trust or profit within tho gift of our people. Hut tho ring poli ticians who are opposing him say that he cannot electioneer, to which wereply that if to bribo voters by tho use of other peo ple's mosey and to trude and barter for vole bo electioneering, then John Ryan is certainly not an adept at the business. Rut if honesty, inteyrity and purity of life are passports to public favor in Cambria county, then Mr. Ryau will have no difti c ilty iu leading his competitor by not less than one thousand majoiity. And now a word or two about our candi dates for Associate Judge. Lion. John Flanagan, one of tho nominees for this important position, has already occupied a place on the bench for nearly five years, pei forming his duties with honor to him self and credit to tho county ; and as tho people aro well aware of his integrity and fitness, his majoiity in tho county will be greater than that of even Tilden and Hen dricks. Mr. John D. Thomas, the other candidate for Associate J ude, is an honest, industrious mechanic, who has spent almost his cntiro life in tho county. He belongs to a family whose Democratic reoord is above reproach, and ho himself, by his ac tive and untiring efforts on behalf of the cause, has done his full sharo in keeping that record bright and clean. True, wo are told tbat on on occasion ho opposed the nominees of his own party and aided in the election of tho Republican candidate for Assembly on that occasion. Without either affirming or denying this allegation, wo see no good reason in it for opposing bim at this time, especially when his com petitor is Richard Jones, who in return for on'if one Democratic vote cast by him dur ing hii entiro lifetime, was elected Associ ate Judgo for five years, but had scarcely entered upon the duties of the office to which the Democracy h?d elected him when he went back to his first love, from which he has never since departed. A man who thus betrays both patties is undeserv ing tho support of either, and tho voto which is sure to be polled against him on election day will show vory plainly that his political standing iu the county is very de cidedly below par. Of tho candidates for Toor Director and Jury Commissioner, Messrs. Wissinger and Cramer, it is almost ncodlos3 to say that better men for the respective positions could not have boon named. They .are both honest and upright man, fully compe tent and deserving, and that they will re ceive tho united support of tho party thero cannot be a shadow of doubt. Such, in brief, is our county ticket, and whether wo look .It principles or at men, we feel strong and invincible against tho coming contest. e do not attack the character of the opposing candidates, will ing as wo are to leave such dirty work to the rotten office stealer of the Johnstown Tribune, but we care not which of the can didates on the Republican ticket aro com pared with the Democratic uominees, tho latter are more than the peers of their op ponents in every respect ; and if we pub lished a paper like tho Tribune we could especially show, in the light of certain events which have transpired within the last few years, how Thomas Davis would compare with John Ryan, much to the dis advantage w aro sure of the first uarued gentleman. Ex Governor Cvhtin is fierhtimr a manly battle for Tilden and Ilendrirlf. Fiesh from his triumphant eanmatrr,, ;., Chant and bis cabinet; at the dictation ' of Simon Camerou and his son, J. Dou Cameron, lately appointed Secretary of "War, have oncu nioie placed their mailed ; hand on the throat of South Carolina, a Slate which may bo aptly called the "l'o- : laud of America," aud a President, sub missive to the most ci utl and insolent de- , inands of the corrupt crew of thieves and carpet-baggers of that State, has, by his j proclamation, placed the people of the ! State substantially under martial law. In the language of Judge Black, of this State, j "It is the most lawless outrage on record. ' It is forbidden by the express words of the constitut ion and by its whole spirit. Even ! if it were the exercise of legal power, it is a cruelty so base that no civilized despot would be guilty of it." It is a deliberate aud cold blooded assault ou the whole peo pie of the State. Rut they are patient and submissive undor long suffering and perse cution, and the Democratic State Commit tee have the patience and coolness to issue a calm address to the people, in which thoy feet of making honest men more deterroin exhibit an unselfish patriotism aud a spirit j d to see that respectable men are elected of self denial that will challenge universal , .. ., . .1 commendation. i ne loi.owing exrract t from tho address will serve to show tho manly and patriotic spirit that pervades all its utterances : We low In perfect submission to the pro clamation of His Excellency the President ami exhort our fellow-citizenf", whom wo represent in the present canvass, to yield full au.l entire obedience to vvery command in the said proclamation. We know that the clubs called rifle clubs are associations for home protection ; that they aro not combi nations as cjiarged by trie Governor of this state ; that there are but few that have arms or am muni lion ; that those, which have been equipped were so done with the sanction and sometimes with tho aid of the Governor and have been recognized by him as useful and appropriate bodies, and not ono of them lias been accused or" disorder. Wo know that their necessity was occasioned by the reck less distribution of arms and ammunition among the colored people by the state offi cials, awd we further know that our white citizens were, on tho 10th day of this month, madsacred at a peaceful political assemblage, when by iigreemont with C.

Southern War Claims. OOTERNOB Tir.PEN STIKES THE OCXS OF TilE UADICAI. Nfvt Toiik, Oct. 2 i. Gov. Tilden has addressed to Hon. Abram S. Hewitt a let ter dated to-day relating to his position in regard to southern claims. He vnotes tho fourteenth amendment of tho constitution, points to the fact that, it has been repeat edly approved by democratic state conven tions of tho south, and was adopted as part of tho platform of tho last national demo cratic convention, which declared it uni versally accepted as a final settlement. Gov. Tilden, after citing his own public declarations on thesubjoct previously made says : Should I be elected President tho provisions of the Fourteenth amendment will, so far as depends on me be maintained executed and enfoiced in perfect and abso Into good faith. No rebel debt will be as sumed or paid, uo claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave will be allowed, no claim for any losses or damr.go incurred by disloyal persons, arising from the lato war, whether covered by the fourteenth amendment or not. w ill be recognized or paid. The cotton tax will not le refunded I shall deem it my duty to veto every bill providing for the assumption or payment of any such debts, losses, damage claims or for the refunding cf any such tax. Tho danger of the National treasury is not j. .. - . from claims of persons who aided the re- bchiou but from claims of persons residing ! in tho southern states of having r.ropcrtv in those states who were or pretended to bo, cr who f.r the sake of aiding claims, now pretend to have been loyal to the gov ernment of the union. Such claims even of loyal persons, where they aro from acts caused by the operations of war have been disowned by tho public law of civilized na tions condemned by the adjudications of tho supreme court of the United States and only find any status by force of specific legislation of congioss. Those claims have become stale and aro often stained with fraud. They are nearly always owned in whole- or in part by claim agents, by spec ulators or lobbyists who have no equity aeairst the tax payers or the public. They should in all cases bo hcrutinized with jealous care. The calamities to individuals which were inflicted by the lato war, are for the most part irreparable. The gov ernment cannot recall to life the million of our youths who went to untimely gravet nor cempensate tho sufferings or sorrow of their relatives or friends. It cannot readjust between individuals the bunion , of taxation hitherto borne or of debts in- :mii Busiain me government which are yet to bo paid. It cannot apportion anew among our citizens the damages or losses incident to military operations or resulting in every variety of from its meas ures for maintaining its own existence. It has no safe general rule but to let by-gones be by-gones, to turn from the dead past to a new and better future, and on rhat basis to assure peace, reconciliation and fratern ity between all sections, classes and races of our people to the end that all the springs of our productive. industries may be quick ened and a new prosperity createtl in which the evils of the past shall bo forjrotten.

LETTER FROM A RF-PLBT.rCAX SEIGnROU OF JOHN RTAS, The following letter from Mr. Henry Gore, of Cambria borough, was left !y bim in the oilico of the Johnstown Tribune in time for the weekly Issue of tnat paper of the 13th inst., but the editor of the Tribune, to show his utter disregard of truth and fairness towards John Ryau, has failed to publish it. It is hardly necessary for us, remarks (he Johnstown Democrat, to say who Mr. Henry Gore is, because there is perhaps not a man more favorably known all over the county than he is. He has been a life-long opponent of the Democratic party, has been a delegate to almost every Republican convention that has seen held in this county, has beeu a member of the Republican county commiitee for the past twelve years, and has been the foundation and stand-by of the Republican party in Cambria borough. When such a man ad dresses a letter to a Repubiicau paper he bas a i ight to be heard, and when unfair partisan leaders try to suppress the truth i and circulate falsehood, it only has tho ef- m"c' 11 uie "pu .ncan canumaics can stand the course ot the Tribune we feel ....,;..,.!..,. i. r I .1' u .11 cc itjr III till. iuuiuiiliiv candidates can put up with it But hero is Mr. Henry Gore's letter, to which we ask the attention of our readers: To the EtHtxrr-ff the Johnstown Tribune: , TKAR StR, I notice an article siened "Jako" in your issue of the 10th inst., which every . one hero knows to b false. He says he went to school thirty years ao with Tim and Tom Davis, tha candidate for Sheriff that Tom went to the war and Tim remained at home; and that that is more than Mr. Ryan's friends can say for him. I can say moro than that for Mr. Ryan. He had two brothers in the army, fir of whom helped To raise Co. C, of the 5.1th Regiment, 1 V., in this town, and lost his life i n the service in South Carolina. His cousin, Peter MeDermott, who was clerkingfor him, went in the same company. "Jake" says when Tom Davis caiuo home he made middle Cambria biobsom like a rose. If my gray head serves me right it was Sam Henry and Lloyd's bank that made it blossom; but who helped to pluck it that caused its death and failure? Did "JuV.c-" or ha schoolmates from Jackson township? Again he says while T. D. was fighting for hiscouutry, Mr. Ryan was getting rich selling whiskey be yond the bridge, which evtiry j:iu knows and 1 can prove to bo a lie. . He never sold any whiskey in Cambria city ; lie followed the same business Ii3 iaiu yet. Tie says that lei displaced Mr. Xaylor as Post-Master. I know better.

Cambria City, Oct. 12, ItsTG. . OmTUARY 'hanois 1'. Hi.atr,. A dis patch from Washington city announces tho death on Wednesday afternoon, at his resi dence, of the venerable journalist and poli tician, Francis Preston lilair, in the eighty seventh year ofhis age. Mr. .Blair was born in Washington county, Va., April 12, 1791, and graduated at Transylvania Uni versity, Ky. lie studied law, but from ill health and weakness of voice, never engaged in the practice. Early a politician he was a friend nf Mr. Clay, and supported him for tho presidency in 1834, but separ ated from him after ho pave his vote for J. (J. Adams antl entered tho Adams admin istration. An article written by Mr. Blair in a Kentucky newspaper npou the nullifi cation movement, in the first year of Gen. Jackson's administration, attracted the at tention of the President, who invited him. though h was personally '.inknowti to the ' T : i . . , . ... , . - a icMut'in,, to reuiovu 10 vasnington and become the editor of a Democratic journal there. Under Mr. Blair's auspices the publication of the GLtbe was commenced in November, 18;,o and so continued until the accession'of Mr. Polk to the Presidency ' in March, 1843, who required him to sell, tliat journal to lUr. 1 bos. llichio, on tho ground that the change was oocesbary to the harmony of the Democratic psrty.

After the repeal of the -Missouri compromise he took a prominent part in the organization of the Republican party, with which he continued to act up to the close of the war, since which he has not figured In politics. Mr. Blair was an astute and well-posted Klitician, and whilst editor of the Globe wielded a large inllucnce with his party. Hon. John Reili,t, the Democratic can didate for Congress, has already served one term to the satisfaction of the public. Wo venture to say that tho district was never more creditably represented, nor did any f its representatives ever pay more atten tion to the interests of his constituents than Mr. Reilly. He was a Inmncx member, taking up but little time in speech-making, but devotiug his time and energies toward forwarding the public business. When ho had anything to say he said it, and said it to the point. Mr. Reilly did another thing that no other representative from this dis trict ever did. By his influence, his work and his vote, he aided in reducing the ex penses of the government for tho current liscal year $30,000,000.

A. liadical Dodge. An Ohio correspondent writes to the Philadelphia Times : The country bas been, and no doubt Btill is. infested with radical emissaries, whose part it is to personate supposed rebel officers from the South, who are woi king tip and talking up supposed rebel claims, which they profess to regard as secured in the event of Mr. Tilden's elec tion. Tho vileness aud shamelcssness of this scheme are almost atoned for by the ingenuity and cunning which conceived it. The Centennial grounds and the rail road trains are the favorite fields of opera tion. Let a few cases attest the plan of action. About two weeks prior to the October elections the writer was standing in the Arkansas state building, on the Centennial grounds, when, in the confusion of the crowd, he overheard a conversation near him which at once especially attracted his attention. The principal speaker was a tolerably intelligent gentleman, who pjo fessed to be from the state of Arkansas and to have been an officer of respectable rank In the rebel army. Tho other party was from Ohio. The supposed Arkansas rebel was warm in his expressions of hope and confidence in the election of Mr. Til den. He asserted that the Southern people had not hing to expect from Hayes' election, but that in tho event of Tilden's success they had a certain prospect of tho payment of a largo amount; Of claims which ho avowed were just and ought to le paid. His description of the kind and amount of these claims was simply ludicrous in its extravagance and folly, and was sufficient alone to stamp the man as an impostor or a lunatic. But he had evidently found his man, and was making the best use possible of his verdancy and credulity. Without hearing bim through your correspondent became absorbed iu tho attractions of the great show. Ou tho day after this the writer (who is a resident of Ohio) sauntered into the Ohio state building to take a look at the Toledo and Cleveland papers. .To his intense sur prise ho saw this same "Arkansas lebcT' sitting at the reading table, earnestly scan ning the Cleveland papers. Relieve me, this man was at once, by the writer, "sus pected of being suspicious." He was net seen by the wiitcr looking over tho Ohio vl5.;'..:o" register, V.c: !i" was casually asked if Lo was successful iu C.Z'.ug r.:;v Ohio -friends. -His reply was, "Oh, yes; several of thc-m."

He proceeded to tho smoking car, where, ho found a deeply in terested group of listeners suirouuditiir an eloquent "claimant," w ho was delivering himself of similar liugo to that which the I Arkansas mau had eiven vent t... n.n-! giveu friend elbowed his way to within sight of j tne reoei oiticer, ' when lie was not a little amused aud nonplussed by seeing au ac quaintance of many years, who wa then a resident of Ohio aud a Repubiicau candi date for a county office in ono of the coun ties of uorthtru Ohio 1 With much con fusion and with the statement that ho was boys" only making a littlo fun for tho and alsu with the request that our friend would not expose him, this "rebel claim ant"' subsided for the time. Other like instances have como to the knowledge of your correspondent. A prominent physiciau of Williams c nmty, in this state, w ho went to the Centennial as a Tilden Republican, eucountered one of theso bogus rebel claimants ami caniQ back a convert to Hayes, and created not a little sensation by his narration of what the rebels expected from Tildeu's election. Fortunately he has discovered the fraud, and is wow, as we learn, doubly couth med in his couvictious that we must have a change. Centennial Awards. The Great Competition tN the Piano Department.

Tho formal ceremonies of announcement were held this evening in Judges' Hall. President Ilawley, fortho Centennial Commission, presented the lists of thoso to whom diplomas and medals had been dccieed to the President of the United States, who delivered them to the several foreign and State commissioners.

Tho following extract, which will serve as an illustration, tells why tho judges in their report recommended the awarding of a diploma and medal to Steinway for the greatest concort capacity in grand pianos, as also the highest degree of excellence in all their styles, viz : "Largest volume, purity and duration of tone, aud extraor dinary carrying capacity, with precision and durability of mechanism ; also, novel disposition of tho string and construction and bracing of the frame."

About 8:30 o'clock Friday morning the wife or Ira Baker (colored), residing at Glen Loch, Ta., was seen rnuning along the road in a frantic manner. When ho reached the railroad station she informed a gentleman that sho had j.ust killed her four children, and then resumed her wander ings. The gentleman drove to the house, aud not finding the husband, hunted him, up. The two visited the bouse, and found the three children, aged respectively two, four and six years, in an almost lifeless condition, their heads being beateu to a jelly with a heavy club. The baby, aged two months, was covered up with a heavy feather, bed, the intention of the mother being to smother it. Tho three children cannot possibly survive. People went in senrch of the unfortunate wpmau, who is undoubtedly insane. A shocking accident, resulting in the almost instant death of Mr. James Thomp son, occurred at Lacytown, Forest county, on Saturday last. Mr. Thompson was working on a turn-table in the saw-mill of Collins & Holbrook, standing upon one stick of timber and driving another with a heavy maul when the maul struck a brace above his head, causing him to lose his balance and fall through into the race beneath the mill, a distance of about eighteon feet. In his fall the back of his head struck a brace, fracturing the base of in ukuii, ana turning turn over so that his forehead struck a saw log in the race, i breaking in the whole front part of his' head and exposim? tho brain. II i;r..,i about half an hour aftor the accident, but ' was never coubcious after he struck. rrm OF PHILADELPHIA. WanaXakkh'h Wapkii-m va ir.-. Wwiu-rtif .-uii:i!o--r V -., '. .
