The boss bank failure is telegraphed from Europe, it sets all other, any other half doacn bank failures, in this or any other country in the ahade. 1 ie Cite of Glasgow bank closed its door* on •j inst., with $50,000,000 liabilities— only 50 millions! The bank waa established in ISSd, and had fifty to sixty branches. This is the heaviest bank failure in Scotland since 1557, when this concern also suspended. The other Scotch bank were asked for assistance, but after ex amining the books, at a meeting refuse*.! to do more than redeem tlio note circu lation of the city of Glasgow bank, which is stated at three and a quarter million dollars. The failure has caused great excite ment throughout Scotland and in the Ixindon stock exchange, where there was a heavy fall in Scotch rauroad se curities in consequence of a pressure of Scotch holders to sell. The failure ofj the bank is generally attributed to its resources being locked up in bills, shares and debentures of various kinds that were not readily convertible. Would like to know what ths repubs nominated a ticket for—they can only elect a commissioner. The greenbackers will beat the repubs, and the democrats will beat both pubs and "back"**. The democrats of Worth county. Mo., have nominated E.S. Garver, a former typo in this office, for Assembly. We congratulate Klias—he will make a good representative. Caldwell, greenback nominee for sen ator was cashier of a broken bank.of the bankrupt firm of Wm. M. Lloyd On his arrival at his home in belle- ; fonto. in the fall of 1572, the democracy , of Centra and Clinton counties turned out and gave the great war governor one , of the most magnificent receptions evot i tendered to any public man in this state, i The town was literally packed with en thusiastic democrats who had come to do Gov. Curtin honor; the torch light parade on that evening was one of the | memorable events of Bellefonte. 1 rom the Watchman office hung a mammoth , banner, inscribed npon it, "M eUvtne to Gov. Curtin," in three feet letters. 1 \e ry democrat rejoiced in his heart t..at Andrew li. Curtin waa with our party and that the democracy wore to have his valuable services. The ltt| shared by the democracy of the entire Keystone state and of the whole I nice. Gov.Bigler resumed his pace upon the democratic ticket us delegate at largo to the Constitutional Convention, that (iov. Clirtin might have his p ace, and to that position 1,0 W,IS * llVt,k d by i>- ceiving every democratic vote in the state. Six years ktTI pa id rfMUHfit l" portant events in the history of Gov. Curtiu, and that gentleman ha- remain ed with our party, hsttleing came-' ly every year for the success of its principles and nominees, and bo.dly eudorsiug its platform of principles. Certainly Andrew G. Curtin, with all his ability and the prestige of lus great name was an accession to our rank worth b*trin t \ and for these he was wel comed by the democratic hosts. The democratic party is not in a posi tion to slam its doors in the face of men who ask to join us from the republican rauks. If we would win we mustgetour gains from the opposition. And it would be the craxyiest folly to close onr door's on the best material in the oppi -ition ranks. Then why is gov . Curtin not worthy the confidence and vote of ettiy demo crat " What better evidences ot a man's sincerity can be had than that which we find as ictat*.--! in the above brii f facts? Gov. Curtin tn cfiCgress will be a representative of whom every cdigen of this congressional district can feel proud, and the district will do it-elf great Locor by sending him there. Gov. Curtiu is a democrat without reservation. Every speech ho has made lately and since 1)172 contains the declaration that the democratic platform has his warmest approval. Lai every democrat, then arouse to his 1 duty—goto work for the whole ticket, and see that his neighbor is right. A democratic defeat this fali ia.u: - defeat • for many years—the next governor will hold four years. It will have a damag i ing effect npoc the next presidential election which is . cprtain for the democracy, unless they now fritter away • the chances. There are no more return ' ing-boards to cheat ns. We need only ■ once more march up determinedly to the • work, and it is done. Democrats of Centre. *do your duty. IX) not endanger the success of the party 1 by petty bickerings. 3len are nothing principles and the triumph of them is all. 1 Democrats, go to work—our whole ticket from Dill and Curtin down to Coroner is worthy of your most earnest support. ♦ ♦ Telegraphic despatches from India leave little room for hope that the .

A political friccd. writing from Belle fonte, Pa., says : "We are having a hard contest in this district, but thai) certain " ly nominate and elect Ex-Governor An • drew Gregg Curtin to congress. He is a j native of this county (Centre) and we have carried it for him. He a ill prove an invalnableauxiliary to the democratic 9 phalanx in the House, while his talents . and exjieruince will place him in the front rank as a debater and a tutes , man." We fully endorse all that our corrcs • pondent says of Ex-Governor Curtin. tie is a fine type of the true-hearted sons of the noble old Keystone state. Wnen tbe Union w as imperilled, he put forth all his energies of mind and body 1 to save it. As governor of Pennsylvania ' he administered the affairs of that great I commonwealth during our civil and fratricidal war in such a manner as to .' gain for him high ejyic honors and the warm approval of his government and • the people. The mission to ituseja was conferred upon him as an acknowledge-1 rnent of extraordinary services, and he also won the soubriquet of "The War Governor." I With the forms of the Union, Gover i nor Curtin seeks to restore its heart find spirit. He therefore rudened his high office in Russia to return home in ] 872, I and engage, as he did, heart ami soul, j in the great work of "bridging over the bloody chasm" between the north and the south. He thinks that "peace hath her victories as well as war;' that now is the time to build up the prosperity of our country; and to accomplish this great end, there should be tiie gigantic abuses and corruptions with which the republican party bristle* uii over. He will wage war to the knife, and knife to the hilt, against all "Credit j Mobiliers," "salary grabs,'J whi.-ky rings and against the and Camerons, father and son. All with villainous measures and thieving men will feel the weight of Jiisstoels, Hence, the nation is interested ii i Governor Curtin's election. The democracy of the west, inoteovto , owe liiui a large debt of gratitude for Ids bold and eloquent speeches made in IS7G in belialfof reform and of our candidates Especially were Governor Curtin's great powers felt in Indiana—that battle-field i upon wliich the gubernatorial and pres idential elections were fought and won. i The latter to be afterwards lost by a fraud —a crime the greatest ever com- • mitted against elective government, and ] which it is the duty of all honest men to rebuke and punish. (Mrtin hill prove a ( riant in that work. The Harper family, known in l'nn valloy, is one of the oldest in it. It was ' and is large, Influential and ever found | active in support of democracy. lour of the Harpers have left tins valley and ( gone to Uellefbnte, where they have for ten r more years engaged in the mors , cantile business and their standing | there i- No. 1. These have been among , the most active workers in the demo- | emtio ranks, all their lives. None of i this hard working Harper family has 1 ever before asked for an olHcfl although ■ anv of thetn is competent to fill an) 1 otfieo in this eotinly . Now we have, for ' tiro first time, one upon the tieket, n nephew of the one- referred to above, who is a competent, worthy, self-made man, ami lie has been fairly noiri- , mated for I'rothonotary, after afairean- t vass, and over other equally ns good 4 men. Now why should he not have | every denuvratio vote It is a recogni tion duo the I Inrpor family alone, ray- j i ing nothing of the fitnes- and excellent t character of J. ( . Harper, who is now < upon the tieket. Let no democrat be I' guilty of ingratitude. Because he i voung is no reas n at all, and beeau-e he is admitted worthy and competent is i evorv reason why every democrat -iiould vote I r J. ('. Harper for l'ro- ( ihonotarv.

Well, he'll not come to the Judgeship. The people have fixed upon I the right gentleman, C. A. Mayer, and Mr. MVormick'a own course is the very best proof of it.

[ Philadelphia Timcsj Many a poor fellow went to the front with the lighter heart on the assurance from the great War Governor that his 1 family should be protected and that if ' be f-il in battle his children should l>e 1 provided for as the wards of the .-late. " How noble this promise was* redeemed ' cannot be unknown to anv who is fa -1 miliar with the history of Pennsylvania " during the last seventeen years; nor ran " it be unknown to such that it was owing " to Gov. Curtin's untiring zeal and ex • Inordinary energy that it was done. 1 No other State iu ibo Union can sav, as ■ Pennsylvania can, that the honored e --' mains of every one of her soldiers who • died in the service of the Union are buried in the soil of their own £tate, ' and that every soldier's orphan who ? needed assistance has been cared for at 1 her expense. Over seven thousand or -1 phans are living witnesses of Andrew G. ' Curtin's performance of patriotic dutv. - This story, as weil as U;at of his fulfifl -9 ment of ail the obligation* of loyalty- in 1 the raisingand equipment of troops with J an enthusiasm that overrode all obsta • eles, is known to the whole eonntry. - There may be honest difference ofopin -9 ion as to his political faith and conduct, 8 but no attack upon the war record of • Gov.Curtin can be charged to any other r account than ignorance or malevolence, t and its motive cannot he uiddpu even 1" by the ample though threadbare cioak of partisanry. ■•♦ • ■ STASI) UP ASD ASsWERI The democratic party and its candi dates have nothing to defend. The re - publican party bus been iu power in 1 the state and nation without intcrrup - tion for eighteen years. The control of • one bouse of the legislature or of con -1 gress by the democratic party gave the 8 latter merely a negative power which s could avail but little iu the enactment c of laws for the relief of tbe people, s Thereforce the republican party is re -3 sponsible for the legislation of the last • eighteen years. If corruptions have been fostered to the injury of individ uals, if capital has bhen protected to the disadvantage of labor, if the tariff has I been tinkered and .finance botched, if ■ the public revenues hare been squun* t dered and the treasuries of the people ' plundered, the party in power, not the 1 protesting minority, is chargeable with ' the fault and the crime. It isthe rcpub* I lican party, therefore, that is on the de -1 fensive. It is the republican leaders that are on trial. Nor can this party 1 now under indictment by the grand in -1 quest of the people hope to escape by bringing a cross action against this or ' that*" democratic candidate.
