(irant was driven, lnnvev r, ly the irre
sistihle force of ul die opinion, pro
claimed hy the American press, to with
draw the nomination in order to prevent
its overw helming rejection. Williams,
who still lives in Wahini;toi!. 'appears in
a recent inverview as saying : "I am
satisfied, however, as I have ln-en all
aloiiir, that i rant does not seek, neither
will he accept, the nomination, unless
convinced that it is for the salvation of
the party, or of the country." A fellow
likelieuiire II. Williams expressing his
solicit tide for the salvation of the conn
try through a third term of Ciantism.

Two VK.Mts ai.ii. State Senator John
A. Lemon hail an invitinir, rosicct of
receiving tlie KepuMiean nomination foi
st ate Treasurer, hut as his election
would have created a vacancy in the
Senate from this district which would
have ln-en filled hy tlie election of a
I einocrat, the "Cameron managers in
ducel C il. I.emon to put aside for the
time his Treasurxship aspirations, so
that Cameron would not In deprived of
his vote in January lat for re-elect ion
to the I". S. Senate. As Col. Lemon's
term will expire Ufore another session
of the Senate, he concluded to take
another chance for the Treasury nomi
nation this year, and until three weeks
arohis success was regarded as pretty
certain. It seems, however, that M. S.
uay. for reasons which of course are
Ix'yoiid our know ledge, has a man of his
own for the place Samuel Butler of
Chester county who was a niemlicr of
the Legislature last winter. I'.utler car
ried the delegates last week i:i Wash
ington county, rinht in uay's own
iiciirhlmrhood. He also jrot them in his
ow n county, and through uay's ttaiii
ulatiou received, we have no doubt, a
very larne invoice of the fi-rty-six Phila
delphia delegates wh. were t let ted on
Wednesday last. (uay ami those who
do his biddinn have said that Butler
must lie the regulation candiilate. ami
he will in, no matter how earnestly or
indignantly Col. Lemon and "the rest of
us" may protest.
Tin: bolt ing members of the late hio
Creenback State convent ion met at To
ledo on Wednesday of last w eek, and af
ter a full and free interchange of opinion
concluded that it was incx-H-dicttt to
make a separate nomination f,,r iJoxcrn
or. This action of the seceding dele
gates is very generally interpreted in
Ohio as lieing equivalent to an endorse
ment of the nominat ion of (M-neral low
ing, the Democratic candidate, and as
materially i:u reasing his chances of suc
cess at the election in Itetohcr. Letters

The l.ate onntj CoiiTentioii.
The delegate to the Democratic '.
county convention met at the Court 1
House, on Monday last, and a report of :
their inconclusive proceedings will Vie
found elsewhere in our paper. It was a j
full convention, eacli of the fifty-one dis
trict lieing represented, and Ave are
Avarranted in saying that in respectabili
ty and intelligence it was the equal of
any similar Iwnly that has ever preceded
it. It contained many of the prominent
and leading meinlcrs of the party from
various sec tions of the county, some of
whom were veterans in the cause, while
the young and active Democrats sent to
the convention many of their most ellic
ient and reliable representatives. S-jch
was the exceptional character of the
material comjiosing the convention, and
yet. after an all afternoon session on
Monday, followed by an all night session
and continuous balloting throughout
Tuesday, with two or three femjmrary
adjournments, it signally and inqotently
failed to jerforiii the initiortant duty
which had lieen delegated to it by the
honest and confiding Democracy of the
county, and at ." o'clock, r. M.. brought
its protracted and inglorious career to a
close- by a final adjournment. This is
the first time in the history of the Dem
ocratic party of Cambria that a nomina
ting convention disbanded without hav
ing -rfornied its imperative duty of
nominating a county ticket and exercis
ing other jxiwers looking to the future
discipline and harmonious actions of the
party, and that a heavy res'xmsiliility
rests somewhere for this abnormal con
dition of affairs is as apparent as it is
disgraceful. We do not propose to dis
cuss the question of responsibility, but
leave it to the calm and cool reflection of
t he gentlemen who sought the nomina
tion for Sheriff, and especially to the
thoughtful consideration of the con
stituents of the delegates themselves.
Neither will we indulge in any crimina
tion against the candidates or their re
spective adherents, for the plain reason
that the blame for duty unperformed is
diffused over too wide a surface-. It
will be seen that from the very first to
the 'seventy-fourth and last ballot, the
, fririuls of the three leading candidates
for Sheriff constituted th , i -fourths of
the convention, hut as lu ither of them
would yield his well-maintained jiosition,
nor release his delegates from their alle-
giance, the idea that under such circum
stances a nomination could Ik made at
all was absurd and preposterous. The
doctrine seemed to prevail with the del
egates that allegiance to a candidate is
, peri-tnal and cannot be cast off. and
'. there didn't seem to be anylmdy in the
1 convention willing and unselfish enough
' to tell them that like all things earthly
it must have an end some time and
thereby remove the obstruction to a
nomination. Jt is a matter for congrat
ulation that after the final adjournment
of the convention therp was not the
slightest manifestation of ill-feeling or
bitterness among the delegates, but all
of them stood amazed at the magni
tude of their own folly, which was then
lieyond cure or reconsideration. There
; is only one oouise now to lie pursued and
i that is for the Chairman of the County
Committee to call it together as sxn as
it may 1 deemed cxjH-dieiit, to consider
the subject dispassionately and ileter
. mine what future action shall be taken.
It is yet four months until the election,
and there is surely ample time todo what
the late convention singularly and un
fortunately omitted todo. The future
harmony and success of the Democracy
of the .-oiinty require the nomination of
a county ticket, and the Committee, we
are sure, will take care that the neces
sary steps hainn that object in view
; shall lc taken in due t hue and according
to the rules and practice of the party.
AiMti.ru F. Bonn:, of Philadelphia,
who Avas (irant's (irst Secretary of tin
Navy, "and held thcrtosition just long
enough to make it very manifest that he
neither knew anything. inr could learn
anything, aliout its duties, returned to
his home aliout two weeks ago, after
several months" travel with (irant thro"
India. China, and Japan. The old gen
tleman stopied for a day in San Fran
cisco, and when he was asked by a re
torter a hot her (irant avouM accept a
nomination for a third term is reported
to have said :
"I 1kim- lie w ill refuse to accept the infer
nal other. In fact, so anxious have I lieeii
for 1 1 i in t decline that it w;is for the sole
purpose of endon voting to dissuade him from
making a sacrifice of himself that I left Phil
adelphia nnd joined him when I did. I
didn't have an opportunity to talk direct to
hii'i on the suliject. In fact. 1 never got any
further than hints, iiiiniiatius and sugges
tions. I am of the opinion that the nomina
tion will he forced upon aim. and that he
will he comelled hy tin- people to again hc
coine our President!"
All this might do for old Mr. Boric to
tell to the marines, and his expression of
opinion that Grant w ill be forced to take
a nomination is an insult to the Ameri
can people, as well as a c m Tension oT the
utter iNilitieal bankruptcy of the Repub
lican party. Wasn't the old man one of
the steamlioat excursion party down the
Dt -law-are two years ago last May. on the
occasion of C rant 's departure from Phil
adelphia, and didn't he empty a cham
paigne glass to Simon ( 'ameron's toast to
Gen. (irant as a candidate for President
in lssd? He surely has not forg tten
this little incident, as well as a good
many others like it that then and there
occurred. The late RoWrt W. Mackey
was one of the party, and ho had no hes
itation in say ing that it was perfectly
understood how long (irant was to re
main away, and that he was to Ik made
the Republican candidate in lO. Bo
ne's .statement, that he never that is
to say hardly ever had an opjMiitiinit v
while he was (irant's travelling com
panion to talk with him on the subject,
which at the outset he told the reporter
was the main object ho had in making so
long a journey, is exceedingly thin, and
is not calculated todeecive any man w ho
has w it enough to know w hen to come in
out of the rain.

Having tarried among out brrthrfln of tbc
Pennsylvania Iklitorial Aasociation for little
more than a day during their recent grand
and enjoyable excursion to Cape May, we
must be excused for only briefly alluding to
the incidents anil experiences of that delight
ful trip the serenth annual excursion in- I
tlulged in by the Association with which we
have the honor to be connected. Thin excur
sion, like all which have preceded it, was j
the handiwork in a great measure indeed :
we might say almost exclusively of the en-
ergetic and next to ubiquitous Secretary of 1
the Association, R. S. Menamin, Kq., of the ;
Prinftrs' Circular, Philadelphia, who has no
superior as a clever, obliging and eonrteona
gentleman, and scarcely an equal as a pro
jector and manager of such pleasant excur- j
sions as the one in question, which brought '
together not less than ."WO journalists and i
their wives, sweethearts and friends, male as
well as female. "With all his executive ahil- j
ity, however, Mr. Menamin conM notaceom- :
plish what he succeeds in accomplishing each i
succeeding year were it not for the large
hearted liberality manifested by the man
agement of the Pennsylvania Railroad and I
connecting lines on all occasions calling for
a recognition of the liberty of the press and '
the no less appreciated liberty of the direct
ors of the press to ride hither and thither
over their respective lines of travel without
money and without price, which as a rule
newspaper men must of necessity do if they
ride at all. For these courtesies the Pa. R.
Ti., which is acknowledged everywhere to
be the most thoroughly equipped and best
conducted railroad in the world, receives a
full equivalent in advertising and in the snp
! port It commands from the press of the State
in all honorable and praiseworthy efforts t
advance its own interests and extend its al
ready widespread sphere of usefulness.
So much for the great and indispensible
1 agencies which projected and made possible
the grand and successful excursion to the sea
; shore of which we speak:, and now let us take
a hasty glance at the gay party and pleasant
: soenes ib rough which It passed. As already
stated, ve were part and parcel of the expe
! dition for scarcely more than a day, hut we
are none the less aware that the editors and
their wives and sweethearts, to say nothing
i of their nncles, their cousins and tlieir aunts,
assembled in large numbers at the ftirard
House, Philadelphia, from which city they
crossed the Delaware per ferry boat to Cam
den on Tuesday morning of last week, and
from thence were wafted in a spe.-ial train
over the West Jersey Railroad, which is un
der the management of the Ta. R. R., and
like all line of travel which the latter com
pany has anything tc do with, is thoroughly
equipped an I has one of the smoothest road
leds it has ever been our pleasure to pass
i over. The trip from Camden to Cape May,
a distance of HI miles, was made in about
two hours, and when the "cily hy tho sea"
was reached the excursionists were conveyed
by carriages and other vehicle to the Stock
ton House, a commodious and elegant hotel
: which commands a fine view of the ocean
and is capable cf accommodating from S00
to 1,000 guests. This extensive and admira
bly conducted establishment is under the
supervision of Mr. Chas. Duljy, and is cer
tainly without a rival at Cape May in all
I that pertains to a comfortable and desirable
place of resort during the heated term.
How the excursionists, individually and
' collectively, enjoyed themselves apart from
' bathing, boating, fishing and strolling along
the beach listening to the constant raves of
the sad sea waves, wo shall not attempt to
describe, hut will "hunch the job" by saying
that Tuesday evening witnessed a reception
of the Pennsylvania and New York editors
i by theii brethren of New Jersey, the excur
. sion having been tripartite in its natnre, the
main features of which reception was an elo
t qnent address of welcome from Col. A. V.
tlohns, President of the New Jersey Associ
ation. and fitting responses by Messrs. Clin
. ton McMii-hael, of Philadelphia, and R. G.
Rerry, of Norwich, N. Y. Wednesday, the
i day of our arrival, was for the most part
damp and disagreeable, and the excursion
ists had to content themselves with indoor
amusements, the principal features of which
were recitations, singing, music, ere. , Hass
ler's cornet hand and the (Jem Quartette of
Yineland, N . .1., both excellent musical or
ganizations.takieg the most prominent parts.
Wednesday evening was devoted to the grand
banquet, which i.i every respect proved to
oe "A least tit reason ami a How of soul.
Interesting, instructive and eloquent speech
es were made in response to toasts hy a num
ber of prominent journalists, and Miss Clara
Unrton, the American Florence Nightengale
of the tate civil war and the Franco Prussian
war, also spoke a piece, the cornet hand and
glee club meantime discoursing sweet music
during intervals. Thursday afternoon was
spent in part on the briny ocean on board tho
steamer Republic, atrip on which was ten
dered by the owners and accented by in an v
of the excursionists, not a few of whoiu r-ani'e
back with a gnawing at their vitals which
was far from being agreeable. This on-seas
able experience was followed in the evening
hy a delightful hop, which we didn't stay to
witness and won't attempt to describe. It
is proper to say, howover, that in the midst
of the festivities a valuable set of silverware
was presented oi behalf of the Pennsylvania
editors to Mr. Menamin a.id his excellent
lady by the President, of the Association,
big-hearted and level-hemled Brother Stable,
of the Gettysburg I'fmipilor. Friday after
noon the Stockton House became a '-banquet
hall deserted" so far as the excursionists
were concerned, and ere ibis no doubt, the
participating editors are safely at home and
snugly ensconced within the sacred precitr.ts
of their respective sanctums. Peace lie with
them .'

fying the 151ood.
This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives St illingia.Man
drake.Yellow 1 ock with the Iodides
cf Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to euro.
Its ingredients are fo fkilfully
combined that the full alterative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless eA-en
to children, it is still bo effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enioys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all OA-er
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
Ii.tvc accumulated, and are con
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
OA-er every other alteratiA'e medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
