The Clinton county Democrats held
their convention last week, 1D. M. May,
of Renovo, was nominated by acclama-
tion for sheriff; A. W. Bramgard, of
Lock Haven, for representative, and
Martin W. Herr, of Lock Haven, for
treasurer. The roll was called to nomi
nate a dictrict attorney, whereupon it ap-
peared that George A. Brown, the pres-
ent incumbent, had nearly all the votes,
and he was declared the nominee. A
dozen or more names were presented for
commissioners, and on the fifth ballot
John F.-Brosius, of Crawford twp, and
John Grugan, of Grugan twp., were nom-
inated. L.R. Paup was nominated hy
cclamation for county auditor.
On 24 ult, Wall street wis surprised by
tHe announcement of the suspeasion of
Morgan & Sons, one of the oldest bank-
ing firms in the city. The house was a
very conservative one, and had no deal
ings upon the Stock Exchange. The
firma dealt principally in securities, being
Leavy holders of the bonds of the Den-
ver and Rio Grande and other Western
railroads, and the continued shrinkage
in value of these securities is thought jto
have caused the suspension. Members
of the firm state that the assignment was
made in order, to protect the creditors,
Their liabilities are variously estimated
at from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000 and it is
not thought that they will rgpume, as the
house fought against a suspension as long
as possible, and only did so when it
became an absolute necessity.
An Associated Press dispatch says:
The suspension is attributed to shrink.
age in valve of railroad bonds, principal-
ly the Denver and Rio Grande, of which
they were large holders at high prices.

PEDDLING HIS RULINGS.
The damaging charge that Mr, Blaine
used his office as Speaker of the House
of Representatives as a means of advanc-
ing his private fortunes rests mainly on
Mr. Blaine's own letters and the records
of Congress, The Chicago Times wufli-
ciently summarizes some of the leading
facts on which the accusation rests, as
follows :
(1) As Speaker, Mr, Blaine male a
ruling that assured the passage of a bill
granting a big land subsidy to the Little
Rock Railway Company of Arkansas. (2)
Three months] afterward, Mr. Blaine
wrote to his friend Fisher (contractor for
the construction of that railway) asking
him to use his good offices with Mr,
Caldwell (who controlled the enterprise)
to obtain from the latter a proposition to
admit Mr. Blaine to an interest in its
ownership. “I do not feel” he said,
“that I shall prove a deadhead in the en-
terprise if I once embark in it. I sec va-
rious channels in which I know I can
be useful.” He was then|Speaker of the
House. (3) A few days later he wrote
again to “Dear Fisher,” thanking hira for
his “liberal mode of dealing with
and reiterating bis desire that he should
“bring Caldwell to a definite proposition ”
It is an inference that the intermediary
did not find Caldwe!l quite agreeable to
the views of Mr, Speaker, for, (4) Ccto-
ber 4, the latter wrote to Fisher again,
telling him the story of his ruling in the
Speaker's chair, showing that he, as
Speaker, secured to the company its ‘and
grant, and concluding: “At that time 1
had never seen Mr. Caldwell, but you
can tell him that, without knowing, I did
him a great favor.” (5) On the same day
he wrote another epistle to Fisher, ask-
ing him to read the Globe (a Boston
newspaper of lofty virtue, which he for-
warded,) and see how narrowly, by
means of his ruling, the Little Rock land
grant escaped defeat.
These are not all thelinteresting facts
in that interesting case, but they will
suffice for the present, because, as every
reader
ine,”
candid will see, their evidence
proves that Mr, Blaine used his office as
Speaker of the House as a means of ad-
vancing his private fortune, He got his
interest in the Little Rock enterprise.

Some still want Tilden, and it would
scare the Republicans if he
would be nominated next week in spite
of his declination.

The following remarks from the Fitts-
burg Post deserve attention :
We are apprehensive ex-Geév. Curtin
may fall a victim to the short-sighted
principle of rotation that prevails in this
in the country districts. Every
county of the district has a candidate.
Gov. Cartin is now one of the most use-
ful and influential members of the Hcuse,
a credit to his district and state and an
honor to Congress. Why rotate him out,
to give some one else a chance, who in
turn will be rotated as soon as he be-
comes useful. The South and New Eng-
land when they get a first-class man in
the House they keep him there, and are
the gainers. Pennsylvania has done her-
self honor by retaining the services of
Randall and Kelly for so long, and has a
substantial reward in their conceded
power. Congressmen are not made in a
day or a term.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,
The Philadelphia Record makes these
pert points on the Republican platform:
The Republican platform in so far as it
proposes anything new in the future pol-
icy of the party is an arraignment of its
past policy. It proposes to restore the
duty on wool which it struck off ; to re-
forn: the civil service which it has de-
baunhed ; to forfeit the land grants which
it give to corporations in fraud of the
rights of the people ; to restore the com-
merce which it has deliberately driven
from the seas ; to rebuild the navy which
has lapsed into insignificance under its
fostering care ; and to put down election
fraucs by which it has chiefly profited.
The propositions to establish a Bureau of
Labor ; to enforce the eight-hour law ; to
create a national system of education ; to
provide against the importation of con-
tract labor ; to extend the pension list
and to put down polygamy, gre deft at-
tempts to win unthinking voters by ap-
peals to their prejudices or their inter-
ests. All those projects have in view the
extension of a system of obnoxious pa-
ternalism by interfering in affairs in
which national legislation is either im-
pertinent or nugatory, The silver issue
the platform cleverly dodges. As there
is but one question before the people up-
on which party lines are drawn, the
whole interest in the Chicago declara-
tions of both parties centres in that ques
tion. The Republicans plant themselves
squarely in opposition to a tarifl for rev.

in all the protected industries such a

assurance ; but it
The inconsistancy of this per-
formance is emphasized by a following
declaration in favor of restoring the

ing labor and patting a new burden up-
on one of the great necessaries of life.
This is equivalent to making the work-
ingman pay for the wool that g
back, and charging him nothing for the
wool that is stulfed in his ears. On this
tariff question, if the Democratic party
fails to pick up the gauntlet thrown
down to it the saceeeding contest will be
robbed of all interest, It will be a mere
struggle for the spoils,

A LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE,
Boston, Jine 28. ~ About 4 o'clock
morning E. W. Jackson, book-keeper,
was on his way from Medford to Maiden
to catch the early horse car for Boston,
While passing the residence of Geo, K.
Goulding & large Siberian bloodhound
belonging to Mr. Goulding rushed out to
the sidewalk and attacked Mr, Jackson
in & most savage manner. The animal
jumped for the man’s throat, but caught
hold of his wrist which was put up to
ward off the attack. The vicious beast
having tasted blood fought like a tiger
and tore the flesh in several places from
the man’s arms.
The struggle lasted a considerable
time, during which the cries of Mr, Jack-
son for help couid be heard haf a mile
away, but unfortunately there was no
one in the vicinity at that early hour
and the man and beast continued the
struggle for life or death, The dog final-
ly got a vise-like grasp of Jackson's
wrist, which be crushed and broke be
tween his teeth. The band being his
right one, Mr. Jackson was at a great dis-
advantage. He finally succeeded, how-
ever, in frasping the animal by the
throat and, with the unnatural strength
of a nan whose life is at stake, succeed-
ed in choking the beast to death. The
man was taken home and the serious
wounds dressed. The dog has been
chained, but frequently broken away and
was the terror of children and of every-
body else who passed that way,

Next comes a row of single men, then a

those who were married at the time of
their death, the women in one row and
