A female witness in a New York

General PniLir II. SnERDAx. is
strnggling with death at his home in

sympathetically watching bis condition
as day by day the dispatches have an

but little doubc that his final end is
near.
It is said that General D. II. Ilast
of this State, is to present the name of
Ohio's 1'inkstonian &:tesman, John
Sherman, to the Chicago Convention.
If General Hustings knew what is best
forShermau he would give him a corner
lot at Hastings in this couuty, and let
the Chicrgo nomination go. Sherman
In the future, might then remember
him with gratitude, but coupled with
the nomination at Chicago, he will al
ways remember Hastings with regret.
At the meetiug of the new County
Committee on Monday last, after the
counting of the vote at the primaries,
II. G. Rase and Herman Jlaumer, of

On Wednesday Grover Cleveland, of
New York,, was uomioatftd for President
by acclamation by the Democratic Na
tional Convection which met ic ht.
Louis on Tuesday and to-day (Thursday)
Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, was
nominated for Vice President. We
are unable to lay before our readers
this week the platform adopted by
the Convention but will do so next
week. The election of Cleveland to
succeed himself aa President of these
United States would be an assurtd (act,
no matter who would have been nomin
ated for Vice President, but in the se
lection of Judge Thurman for Vice
President, the Convention added a tow
er of strength to the ticket which will
compel the Republicans to fight for
every inch of ground in the otherwise
Republican Slate of Ohio. The Demo
crats now have their forces in the field
in tattle array, whi-e the Republicans
who hold tlieir Convention at Chicago,
on the l'J'.h lDtt., i!l in all notability i
be compelled to nominate John Sfcer-

Ox our local page we publish in tab
ular form the result of last Saturday's
Democratic primary elections. The
ticket nominated is a strong one and
caunot fail to receive the support of
every true Democratic. The candi
dates are all men qualified to perform
the dalles of the offices to which they
have been nominated and in regard to
locality the ticket is well aportioned.
FOR ASSEMBLY,
lions. D. McLaughlin, of Johnstown,
and John S. Rhey. of Ebenabnrg.
have been re-nominated, and as they
have both teen before the people here
tofore and are well-known throughout
the county, It la unnecessary to refer to
to them at length. Their reoomination
is an endorsement of their official integ
rity and their course in the last Legis
lature, well merited by both gentlemen
by the faithful manner in which they
performed their dntiea.
FOR SUETtlEF,
John J. Kinney, of Tunnelhill, receiv
ed the nomination, leading bis next com
petior by a majority of 733. Mr. Kinney
is a young man, born and raised In Tun
nelhill. where be worked in the mines in
his youth and since attaining manhood
baa been engaged in the business of
merchandising. lie is a man of good
business qualifications, possessed of a
good education and as a merchant
stands high with those having dealirgs
with him, and tha flattering vote be re
ceived at bia home is sufficient evidence
of the esteem in which be is held by bis
neighbors. His nomination is also a
deserved recognition of the party in
that locality who at all times have been
a bulwark to the Democracy in this
coaity.
FOR DIRECTOR OF THE rOOR,
James A. Wurtoo, of Clearfield
township, received the highest vote and
will be the next director. Mr. Whar
ton was bora In Clearfield township,
stands well where he is known as a
good citizen, an intelligent farmer, and
an honest man and as such possesses all
the requirements to make a careful,
prudent and effluent director ; one who
will see that the poor are carefully and
abundantly provided for, and also that
the Interests cf the people in the ex
penditure of their taxes are properly
taken care of.
FOR JURY COMMISSIONER,
C. A. Bock, of Carrolltown, bad no
competeior. Mr. Buck is a young bus
iness man of Carrolltown. well ac
quainted with the people in the north
of the county and is well qualified to
perform the duties of the office.
Taken as a whole, as we said before,
the ticket is a strong one, merits the
suffrages of all true Democrats and at
the next election will be triumphantly
elected.
To those who are disappointed In the
result, and, as a natural consequence in
all contests, there are a number, we can
only say that in the inteiests of the par.
ty, they must submit to the will of the
majority as determined by the primar
ies. That Is what each defeated candi
date agreed to abide by when be en
tered the contest, and what he would
have right to expect from the present
nominees bad the will of the people been
reversed and the rresent nominees de
feated. Let all bickerings therefore,
among Democrats, raised during the
primaries be dropped, and from now
nntil the election let us turn in on our
common enemy, the Republicans, and
give them such a drubbing in Novem
ber that they will hardly reaiizs what
struck them.

Business a,nd Presidential Elections.
It la an erroneous bat widely accept
ed idea that a Presidential election oi
necessity causes general sttgiatlon In
business. There is do reason why it
should do so. and we believe tout so far
as succ results are felt in bnsiness cir
cles, they are chiefly or wholly canaed
by tbe general assumption of Dusineas
men that commerce and trade must be
more or less paralysed by a Presiden
tial contest.
Why should a national election In anv
degree impede legitimate business ?
People eat, drink, enjoy and consume
in such years just as they do in other
years; and people who eat, diink, en
joy and consume must earn and spend
all tbe same whether there is an ebb or
flow in tbe tide of politic! ;bot business
will always become dull, with or with
out re. sou, whenever business men as
sume that it must be dull. With that
assumption to guide them, tbey limit
their operations, circumscribe their
energies, halt over even inviting pro
gress, and then they blame upon politics
what .thoy should blame upon them
selves. It is a serious error to assume that
change of party or policy in our Nation
al Government can materially affect the
general business or prosperity of tbe
country. Ne party can obtain the con
trol of this great (iovernment without
great leaders, and leaders of even aver
age wisdom know that prosperity In bus
iness and business trust in tbe Adminis
tration are indispensable to continued
power. The one aim of political lead
ers is power ; and as the sovereign pow
er of tbe Republic is in tbe people, tbe
success of tbe people's industries and
tbe prosperity of all are the aim of our
rulers.
We have bad many sodden and some
very violent political revolutions in this
country, but rulers and people, politics
and business, promptly adjusted them
selves to every new condition of affairs.
When Abraham Lincoln was elected
President In 1860, it was done by the
people over tbe protests of finance, com
merce and trade, and business was par
alyzed during the memorable struggle
because merchants and financiers all
predicted business destruction if (be
Republicans revolutionized tbe Gov
ernment ; but within one year after
Lincoln'a election, money and business
heartily identified themselves with bis
administration aud made tbe country
prosperous even with the severe exac
tions or civil war.
In there was the same conserva
tive abudder throughout finance and
commerce at the prospect of revolution
izing tbe political power of tbe country,
and business was paraljzed simply
because business men foolishly
paralyzed themselves. Tbe revolution
came; Mr. Cleveland was elected
and there is not an intelligent or dis
passionate man in finance or commerce
who does not feel much more security
uuder Cleveland now than be would
under any successor of either party.
All legitimate busir.ee? that is not tbe
mere bob on the kite of partisan politics
would be glad to see the Cleveland ad
ministration continued, and. with
Blaine out of the race, there is no prob
ability of any Republican candidate for
President wboae election should cause
any apprehension Ic business circles.
It is simply growing into a fixed su
perstition that there is always peril to
business in a Presidential election, ard
business men of eveiy class and faith
should at once reject it. There will
ever be grave questions to be decided in
national contest", bu; at no peilod
since tbe Issues of tbe war bave been
settled, bas there been any danger to
business because of the election or de
feat of any candidate for President.
Had Tilden obtained tbe Presidency to
which be was elected In 1S76. or bad
Hancock overcome the nominal major
ity that Garfield ob" mined over Mm la
1SS0 and reached the Wftlte House,
there would not bave been the auade or
peril to any legitimate business, and
whether Cleveland or tbe Rpublican
candidate shall be elected in November,
the country will continue In prosperity
aa lo"g as bar harvests ere bountiful.
No Republican administration could
continue for four years without reduc
ing the tariff at least to the ataudard of
the Mills bill and with the present cp
piessive taxes upon our industries re
moved, business prosperity must be
maintained.
15usines is mnt on just to itself iu
assuming that a Presidential election in
our free government most str tbe tide
of business prosperity, and just to the
extent that business paralysis is expe
rienced, to that extent 's business re
sponsible for a self-inflicted injury.
The consumers are not bothering about
a Presdentlal battle, and when consum
ers are not in trouble, what Is there to
make business dull beyond tbe senseless
superstition that business must be dull
wben a President is to be elected?
There will be millions more money ex
pended this vear then is crmmocly ex
pended by the masses. There will be
political clubs everywhere; there will be
mass meetings at every cross-roads;
there will be bands to Inspire enthusi
asm; there will be uniforms and lamps
and emblems by tbe hundred thousands;
there will be more newspapers read
than ever before; there will be a flood
of political literature at every door, and
with all these there will be as large le
gitimate earniugs and expenditures as in 4
tbe quietest of p9iitical seasons. It is
idle to say that a Presidential year
hinders business, except aa business
foolishly binders Itsnlf. Let business
men mak tbe bold experiment of as
suming that people eat, drink, erjoy,
am, and consume quite as much lu i
r evidential year as in any other, and
there will be no business paialvsis be
cause tbe people are taking a lively
band in tr election of thlr Chief Mag

Presidential Birthplaces.
On Saturday the house in wbich Gen.
Grant was born waa hauled through toe
streets of Cincinnati on Its way from tbe
river landing to the spot where it is to
be exhibited for an admission fee. It Is
to be returned to Mt. Pleasant, it is
said, wben it is through with its travels;
but tbe fact of its having been carted
around tbe country will detract in a
way not eaaily described from tbe in
terest tbat would otherwise be felt in it
hereafter. There la a certain loss of
genuineness involved in tbe liberties
thus taken with it.
Bat the fact that a bouse in v bich
President of theUulted States was born
is such a small and bumble structure
tbat it can be shipped from one place to
another at no great trouble or expense
is worth considering. Garfield was
ushered into life in a bouse even more
uopretentions. and tbe same Is true of
Lincoln. Johnson, and In a lessor de
gree of Arthur and Cleveland. The re
calling of these things reminds us of
tbe essential social and political equality
that prevails in tbe United States.
Ability, character and industry, either
in public, professional or buciuess life,
carry a man eventually where he be
longs in tbe ranks of men.
There is room to reflect, furthermore,
tbat our earlier Presidents were not of
hnmble origin, or. so to spak, from tbe
commou people. Waabiugtou. tbe two
Ad anise. Jeffersou (though bin princi
ples were Democratic enough). Madison,
Monro, were all aristocrats by family
decent and connection. Jackson was
the first President whose rarly life was
without ftocUi advantages. The Na
tion is really more Democratic now
than it was fr the first fluy years of its
existeuce.-.V. 1'. Wo.lL
Plata Talk From Mr. Titc.
Mr. Fitch, Republican Congressman
from New York City spoke on tbe 16tb
Instant on the Mills tariff bill.
After commenting upon bow every
member bad argued tor bis own district
and bow every member seemed to rep
resent, especially either tbe fanner or
the manufacturer. Mr. Fitch told abont
the varied constituency be represented.
He represented, be said, a district in tbe
npper part of New Y'ork City, wbich
was mainly a residence district. The
people ttere were not protected. Tbe
farmer bad eloquent advocates trained
in county and S.ate fair. Tbe work
men in the factories bad special advo
cates, who lay awake all night to study
their interests. Almost every ciaas nao
its advocates here except the million
a in s, whom nobody would own to rep
resect, and wbo baa no friends in tbe
House. Laughter. Among the
people be represented were policemen
and firemen and reporters and printers
and paper carriers and locomotive engi
neers on tbe Elevated Railroad. This
class of workmen bad no direct protect
ion. Tbey were not overpaid. Tbe
money wbich tbey received at tbe end
of each week was not more than was re
quired for tbelx necessities, and at tbe
same time tbev were compelled to buy
the taxed doll to 011 tbe taxed Christ
mas stocking or tbe taxed medicine for
the invalid member of the family.
Their wishes might be as Important to
tbe Republican party a those of tbe
farmers and manufacturers. If tbe
Republican party were to get rotes
from New York City tbey must get
them from those people. Tbey bad
elected bim, a Republican, to Congress
mainly because tbe Democratic candi
date refused to support any measure of
tariff reform and bad voted against con
sideration of tbe Morrison bill. Ap
plause on Democratic side.
Tbe day bad come, be said, wben tbe
present duties yielded so large a revenue
tLat a further accumulation of tbe rev
enue was actually dangerous. Was it
strange that at this time a readjust
ment was asked, and was It unreasons,
able to ask that the tariff wbicb put
jewelry at 25 per cent, and oil cloth t
40 per cent., wbich brought In silver
plate at 25 per cent, and cbildrens' cot
ton stock inga at 40 per cent, should be
moclfied On tbe theory of blessing
tbe manufacturers tbe masses of tbe
people or New York bad paid for many
years more for their meals, their clothes
and medicines than those things ought
to have cost.
Tbe gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr.O'Neill) bad said tbat New Y'ork
was in a large measure a foreign city.
It was true, of course, tbat New Y'ork
bad many foreign born citizens, and
among them large number who bore
tbe uarae of the gentler n from Penn
sylvania. Laughter J He bad little
regaid for tbe man wbo contrasted bis
own patriotism wilb that of bis grand
father, to the disadvantage of tf-e latter.
When gentlemen asking tor a fulfill
ment of Republican promises to reme
dy the admitted irregularity of the
tariff tbe answer of tbe manufacturers
was that if an article on tbe dutiable
list was touched the whole protection
scheme was in danger. Tbe bigb pro
tective manufacturers bad endless ob
jections. They bad a monopoly of ob
jections. If 'cheap vegetables were
asked for, tbe farmer objected. If
cheaper clothing waa asked for the wool
grower otjected. If cheaper cat pets
were asked for, the manufacturer ob
jected. If cheaper coal was asked for
the miner objected. If cheaper rice and
tigar vere asxed, the planter or jected.
Hr, for his district of consumers, ob
jected to this chorus of oj;cllons.
Laughter. If eveiy interest in this
country wbicb was protected was to cry
out at any proposed reduction of tbe
tariff in tha enteres', of tbe grett prin
ciple of protection, tbe people of his dis
trict might ssk that their monthly
wages and tbe limited incomes on
which they live should bave the protec
tion promised by both political parties,
and tbat not tye and bye. tut in the
Fiftieth Congress. Applause. lie
desired to consider tbe question at tbe
present Congress. Wfemer the Fifty
first, Fifty aecond or Fifiv-tbird Con
gress w s to be Republican or Demo
cratic was something tbat concerned
him at present very little. He proposed
to do wnat be could towards fulfilling
tbe premises of bis party on this sub
ject now wben be bad an opportunity.
His second otjection to the answer was
tbat it made the success of the Republi
can party a condition precedent to tbe
revision. If tbe revision was right aud
in tbe interest of tbe development of
tbe country, be for one was willing to
make it, whether there was political
capital in it or not.
If tbe gentleman wbo denounced tbe
authors of tbe Democratic bill would
prepare a better bill be would certainly
be glad to give bis support to tbat
measure in preference to any other; bnt
if be were asked to oppose the bill not
so much on account ot its contents as
on account or its authorship and histo
ry be must decline to do so, even if he
tood alone on bis side of tbe House.
iApplauae oc tbe Democratic side.
Is bad not declined tbe suffrages of bia
people on account of their political an
tecedents, and If 6,400 people forgot
their Democracy to give tbe district to
a Republican- be, in his tarn, would
forget tbe origin of the bill in consid
ering tbe question whether it were in tbe
interest ot bis constituents. Tbere waa
pometbing belter than Republicanism
or Democracy, and tbat was common
honesty.
