VOTE THE WHOLE TICKET.
We can hardly deem it necessary at A? will be seen from the proceedings
any considerable length to urge upon : of the Democratic Congressional confer
the Democracy of the county the duty ; ence of this district, which met at Al
restiugiiion them of giving the differ- , tooua on jestc-rday weeK, and which are
ent candidates on the countv ticket a
UDited aDd energetic support. This i
duty naturally force's itself npon every j
man claiming to be identified with the ;
Democratic party, and as a consequence
anxious for its success, from the simple '
fact, in the first place, that the nomina- j
tions were all made in pursuance of a
method or system adopted by the Dem
ocratic voters of the county for the ex
plicit pumose of designating candidates
to be voted for at the general election.
Xo political party can successfully exist
in a county without a full recognition ,
by each and every one of its members of ,
the doctrine of implicit acquiescence in
the will of the majority when fairly ex- j can in the district by a majority that as
pressed. So firmly was Jefferson im- tonislied both friends and foes,and since
pressed with this fundamental doctrine , then Gen. Campbell carried the district
that he declared it to be the vital prin- ' at two Presidential elections of 1376 and
ciple upon which all Republican institu-
tions rest. If, therefore, county nomi-
nations when regularly made by the pro- :
per authority, are to be disavowed or
set aside through mere caprice, the or-
parm-ition of the party for all practical ;
Prpo might as well be abandoned,
am1 the rigl,t of every man t0 run for an :
o!Iice who desires to do so distinctly and
i squarely recognized. That may be a
pleasant theory for some shallow poli
; ticians to speculate about, but every in
; telligent man cannot fail to see, that it
would produce utter political chaos,
: and completely destroy all responsibility
j by a party for the official conduct of the
men whom it has invested with impor
! tar.t public trusts.
In the second place the duty of yield
ing

publicans themselves, that it does- not
contain the name of a single candidate
who is not fully competent for an honest
and intelligent discharge of the duties
of the office for which he has been nom
inated. Will any man who knows them

D. A. Lnther, the nominee for Sheriff;

isrn has prevailed to such an extent that
honest Pepub'icans haye been compell
ed to desert tlie machine and support an
independent ticket, which is not the way
it used to le when the Republican State
tickets were set. up by the Pooses, and
the people eitherdriven or cajoled into
supporting the nominees. Among the
adepf.s at the P ss business are the C im

A LXAMMOl'S SOMIXATIOS.
I published elsewhere in our paper, the i
nomination was unanimously conferred
upon Gen. Coffroth after the Blair con-
ferees, on the first ballot, had obeyed j
their instructions by giving a compli- j
mentary vote to A. V. Dively, Esq., of ;
that county. When a Republican Leg- j
islature, at its session of 1S73 formed
this district out of the counties of Bed
ford, Somerset and Cambria, it was be
lieved by the framers of the bill that it
would be a perfectly reliable Republi-
can district as long as that apportion-
ment continued. At the very first eke-
tion under it, however, in 1871, Hon
John Reilly defeated the ablest Republi
ISsO, while Gen. Coffroth defeated him
in 1878. In view of these results the
district may properly be regarded as be-
loncrinir to neither rrtv lnt. n
to be contended for. The wisdom as
well as the justice of Gen. CoffrotlTs i
nomination will not be onestioned hv !
an-v nian in eith" of the four counties i
of the district who claims to be a Dem
ocrat. That he attended with unusual
promptness and in nearly every case

It got up a new sensation by splitting into
three sections, opening a new field forspe
nlation as to the nature and habits of this
Piratic plass of pelpstial vovaeero. I rpgard
it as ypry kind in the pomet. in these dull
days to give the people something new to
wonder at.
A livine proof that the old saw that "only
the enod die von mi" is a lie from the whole
cloth is found in a Kentuckian now twpntv
three ears old. who never spoke a saucy
word, told a lie or swore an oth in his life
Here is a truly good man who didn't die
young, which reminds me of another pood
man, a companion of mv virtuous bovhnod
days, who never sauced his parents, never
told a lie or swore a wicked oath. A pro
fane word was an abomination in his sight
ypt for extreme provocations he was rrovil
dPd with a gentle litany which afforded to
nis irrated mind the p..mfort of swearing
without the commission of sin. Under verv
great provocations this good vonth would
say, "Darn it." The word "darn " to his
ponscientions mind, was a pomfortahle test
ing place a refreshment to hlc accerberated
spirit, that shrunk from saving the too fa
miliar word w ith an m in it. So very tender
was my good companion's con-eipne that
he had Treqnent searehings of heart after
savin "darn." and indulged in floods of
penitenee. At times he would ponder over
that hard word, "damn." and had n desire to
speak it with that awful curiosity which
gives to nn unknown sin a hold upon the
imagination. Once he thought, what would
happen if he should sav "damn" out loud.
Hp said he dwelt upon that subject with an
awful curiosity, which his good mother told
him was a temptation of the devil "But "
said he, "the temptation .?rew upon me so
that once in the sanctity of my own private
apartment, with the door shnt'and iocked I
thought I would boldly frv the experiment
of saying 'damn' out lond and see what
would happen." He said he did it and
looked np apprehensively to see if the walls
were going to fall on him, but thev didn't
and he covered his hod with bd Plothes'
and felt degraded. lie had committed the
sin and got not even the excitement of a
patastrophe. Thp Lord didn't think he
was worth ITis notipe. .Vow, that good boy
who never said a saupy word to his parents
wno nevei told a lie. and who never swore
but one harmless oath, and that under the
most extenuating eircumstancps, didn't die
young, but is ro rtv n live, kicking good old
man, who. with the good Kentnckian, is a
living proof that it is Dot true that "only the
good die young. "
Seeing "in public prints almost daily noti
pes of thp departure of IJev. gentlemen, with
their wives, going to enlighten the spiritual
blindness of the Pacific Islanders, and seeing
the report of an intelligent home missiona
ry, who states that in his researches on Long
Island, within less than one hundred mPes
of New York, he had found "one hundred
families who never had possessed a bible
and oeite a number of Individuals who had
never heard of rhrM." I would ask if it
would not be well to have some missionary
work done on l-ong Island instead of that
which is being done amid the jungles of In
dia the fastnesses of Africa, or th moral
darkness of the islands of the Pacific Oeean
ould it not be better, before spending the
lt dollar to enlighten the spiritual blind
ness of the racifip IManders, to evangelize
the benighted natives of Long Tsland ?
I have a daily reminder of the busy sickle
of the world's mighty reaper. He reaps and
cuts awnv an early opening bud. and then a
mature fruit, and elsewhere a withered leaf
from the tree of human existence, laying all
by in his great store, house, until the time
when the whole harvest of the earth shall be
fu! v ripe. I have just read a notice of the
death of an Allegheny connv gentleman in
bis eightieth year, named KelJv, wttti whom
I was intimate some fifty, five or sixty years
ago, he being a close friend and acquaint,
anec or mv father's family, and who at one
time wr.s estimated a millionaire. This once
prosperous, wealthy friend, I am grieved to
learn died in utter poverty, destitute of all
earthly means of comfort. Wonderful are
the mutations of fortune. May 1 when I
shuffle off this mortal poil. have' enough
kind, wealthy friends to set. that I am re
spectably Sepuitnred.
Death puts an end to most spaeions titles
the most dazling grandeurs and the mo-.t de
licious 1 ife. Earth's greatest, highest mon
areh ends in. "Here he lies." A sultan,
amusing himself walking out. observed a
dervish sitting with a human skull in his lap
and appearing to he in a very profound
19 erie. IPs altitude and manner surprised
the sultan who demanded the pause ,f his
being so deeply engaged in reflection.
'Sire," said the dervish, "this skull was pre
sented to me this morning, and I have from
that moment been in vain endeavoring to
d'seover whether it is the skull of a power
ful monarch like you or that of a poor der
