There was mhuch tugging, pulling and button- holing of delegates and such during the previous to the assemblage of the and many fellows who wught they had their slate all right found that some other fellow was ahead when the balloting was over. So it goes ~we trust all are satisfied and slept well the following night—the writer did, only that dream of brass bands and other organizations coming with their little subscriptions haunted us. Really the way of the candidate —the unsuc- ceasfal one—is hard. eoca———— ici a “A Voter” wants to know whether the board of Commissioners re nominated made proper efforts to have recovered back into the treasury from the late Sheriff ‘the sums alleged to have been obtained illegally on board, and for removing fish-baskets. The sum ob- tained for removing fish-baskets was near $700 and overcharges on boarding prisoners some $1500, as claimed by the Auditors, Messrs. Musser and Proudfoot, which, upon examination the Auditors refused to admit, and these amounts were charged back, and so far as any da- ty devolved upon the Commissioners thereafter, we believe they faithfully dis. charged it, and obtained back to the coun- ty treasury the larger part of the sheriffs fish-basket pay and overcharges on boarding prisoners, The reason “A Vo- ter” may not be aware of these facts is becanse the Commissioners did their da. ty without blowing their horn over it, hence many are not aware of it, We shall endeavor to obtain the exact facts in the case and furnish them in a future issue. Suffice it to say the Commissioners did their duty. 3 » day convention, i} bd Riis — AN EXCELLENT RECORD, A correspondent of the Buffalo News after stating the few objections urged against Gov. Cleveland and satisfactorily explained them writes as follows: Ist—He signed the bill creating a bu- reau of labor statistics so long demanded by the workingmen. 2d--He signed the tenement house ci- gar bill, which prohibits the manufac- ture of cigars in tenement houses and which was so largely agitated in Buffalo and other cities three years ago. 3d--He signed the bill abolishing the manufacture of hats in the state prisons 4th—He signed the bill abolishing the contract system in the state prisons, Sth—He signed the bill forbidding the employment of children work in reformatories. 6th—1le signed a bill making the la- borer a preferred creditor in cases of as- signments, 7th—He signed a bill prohibiting the employment of children in manufactories in this state. 8th—He signed the bill to investigate the working of the contract svstem in our prisons and to provide a labor sub- stitute for the contract system, and ap- pointed Walter N, Thayer, president of state trades assembly, as chairman of the commission. 9th—In 1833 he directed the superin- tendent of prisons to discontinue the use of the shower bath, the yoke and the cru- cifix in the punishment of prisoners, and through his instramentality these means of torture heretofore used in our prisons have been forever prohibited, 10th—He signed the bill to protect widows and orphans from swindling in- surance corporations. 11th——He gave his signature to the em- igration bill to protect emigrants from extortion and robbery. 12th—He approved the bill to prevent pawnbrokers from robbing the poor and unfortunate, 13th—He signed the bill for the better protection of these who place their earn- ings in the saving banks. 14th—He signed the bill which pro- vides for the testing of steam boilers, that laboring men might be better protected from accident resalting from the careless indifference of wealthy corporations, 15th—He asked the last Republican legislature to appropriate sufficient funds to allow laboring men to continue work on the new capitol. This the Republican legislatuse refused to do, preferring to squander the state funds on commission and political investigating committees rather than for the benefit of working: men and asa result of this policy 600 men were thrown out of work on the state capitol not a month ago. These are measures which the laboring men have asked for years by petition to the legislature; by public meetings and agitation and by appeals to party con- ventions ; and these are the measures which Gov, Cleveland has favored: not on the stump, not in convention, not in promises, but while never promising any- thing has done everything to advance their interests. And yet a few men, who profess to represent the laboring men, cannot vote for him. What has Blaine or Butler ever done for the workingman ? They have been in publie life more than twenty-five years, yet their records are innocent of any effort in behalf of the la- boring men whose votes, they now ask, as against Gov. Cleveland, who has done more in his short official life of twenty months than all the Blaines and Butlers in this country. Laboring men, stand by your friends. Let no political charlatan sell your vote like merchandise in the markets. Let no man professing friende ship for you, dicker your influence to Blaine or Butler, but stand by the only man in public who has dared to do more than he promised. on contract A SLEDGE HAMMER REMARK, One of the delegates to the Inde- pendent Republican Conference in New York, last week, was Dr. Quimby, of Jer- sey City, a man of high character and standing in his state, and anjex-Republi- can member of Congress. He knows Mr. Blaine as well as one man knows anoth- er, and in a speech at the Conference, among other things he said: “The Dem. ocratic party is not half so dangerous as the Republicanism represented by James G. Blaine, I was in Congress when Blaine was Speaker, and it brought the blush of shame to my face to see that it was the representatives of corporate mo- nopoly who always had ‘Lis ear, It is our duty to support Grover Cleveland, who has given the great State of New York a period of wise and pure govern- ment.” Who can say it neater? as —————— When the convention was over on Tuesday of last week, we heard a candi- date console himself with the remark, “Well, I guess we are all licked.” When the November election is over our Republican friends may borrow the expression, vo — GOV, CURTIN. The masses of the Democracy of this digtrict and of the State desire the re- nomination of Gov, Curtin for congress. As far back as 1870 and 1871 Goy, Cur- tin began to weaken in his Eepublican faith. He then held a first-class appoint- ment, that of Minister to Russia. In 1872 he resigned this high position and re- turned to this conntry and at once iden- tified himself with the Democratic party by entering the Buckalew campaign as one of the most earnest speakers, He carae over laying down a position, not From 1872 to 1878 Gov. Curtin was active asking for one, in every campaign, speaking in many states and spending hundreds of dollars out of hi et for the good of the party. It wasonly after six or eight years of this kind of 8 Own pock- valuable service that he was mentioned for congress and received the nomina- tion in consideration of the great servi- ces he had rendered. In congress he at once ranked among the foremost deba- ters and most influential members, and h il th is speeches have struck the popular heart and his votes have been in th rection of the people's interests. Let him be re-nominated MR. BLAINE'S GREAT OFFENSE. The Patriot says: The story of Blaine's immorality, the truth of which is estal- e di- ished by the affidavits of several repu- k Y, tch table citizens of Millersburg, Kentuc certainly another hideous on the tattooed man's record, catalogue of crime there is no 3 ble In the offense puts against society so dangerous and demor- alizing as that with which Mr, Blaine is charged. Next to the murderer there is no criminal so hideous in the sight of moral men as the seducer. This is shown in the fact that since th the devel- opment of jurisprodend earliest of a went » the killing 2, Wil RLLNg man who has debauched an inn¢ and pure young wom common consent, But the this grave ofiense against morality fastened on Mr, Blaine, it is a matter of congratulation that the democratic pa- pers have not given the filthy and sick- ening details of the affair to the public, Common decency and consid an is condoned by while barge of committing i8 ideration for the morals of the reading public are alike promoled by the silence that has been observed, Thus far a single west- ern journal has had the exclusive func. tion of circulating the scandal, N¢ ocratic committee and no democratic cit- izen has given it countenance, Ii sents the republican candidate in titude that should and would dem- pre. repel : ¥ many persons from supporting him, because the public justifi of a seducer on sight it is not a reason why the first man he meets should be. come the executioner. . ef The Democratic county convention last week re-nominated four of our pres. ent county officers, namely, Mr. McClain for Register, Mr, Bible for Recorder, and Messrs, Greist and Wolf as Commission- ers. These gentlemen discharged their duties during their present terms with a degree of fidelity that it was thought for the public weal to give them another lease, It was right, they have proven faithful and honest, obliging and prompt, and the affairs of the people for the next term will be attended to with the same fidelity added to which will be the advantages from rife experience, Give them your greatest majorities as servants who were tried and not found wanting. ¥ es the shooting such Will Curtin be the next congressman for this district ? This question we an- swer by asking another, Can the state afford to loose Gov. Curtin in congress ? If left to the popular vote of every county in the district, Governor Curtin would have two-thirds of the Democracy in favor of his re-nomination. But the will of the masses in these counties is thwarted by the clamor of candidates for Congress in each county, and the perni- cious complimentary may defeat Gov, Curtin’s re nomination when the congr. conference meets, We can hardly afford to loose Gov. Curtin, His usefulness to the state and nation in national congress demands that he be returned. We know of no man in the district who can fill his place with the same distinguished ability, Centre county is proud of Gov. Curtin, and her Democracy presents his name for renomination with rare unanimity, eimai —c———— Don Cameron again has it said that he is not a candidate for re-election to the U, 8, Senate, You don’t catch a Camer- on napping. smmaris—s fp inf aai—e—— “My ovran Mz.
