Blaine was one of the stockholders «f

the original company which monopolized
te coal business in the Hocking Valley |
of Ohio and brought about the oppression |
of the miners which led to the present
g'rike. He is a noble citizen to pose as |
the special champion and protector of |
American Labor!
— i
Gov. Hoadly, of Ohio, is a man of
sense, judgment and mettle. When the
labor disturbance in the Hocking Valley
became formidable he boarded a train
moved to the storm centre. His
presence has had a good effect. There
has been no senseless slaughter of strik-
and
ers by wild militiamen, and the troubles |
of the miners are now in a fair way to
adjustment without bloodshed.

We think the Democracy of our county
are in a good mood as to the prospects of
the campaign. Cleveland and Hendricks
have the most enthusiastic endorsement
in our county. The Democrats upon the
state and county ticket will have the full
party vote, no doubt, and we look for-
ward to an old-fashioned majority.
Centre county tax-payers see the need
of Reform, and at the November election
they will vote very strongly in that di-
rection.
R. G. Brett's nomination for Prothono-
tary gives the best satisfaction to Demo-
rats, and his fitness for the place will
secure him many votes from the Repub-
lican ranks. Bob has been a working
Democrat all his life, standing by the
party thro’ sunshine and rain. He has
a good character and is highly competent
for the office. This is the kind of Demo-
crats whom we should reward, and it
was but an act of justice to nominate R.
G. Brett,

The great and gifted John Logan is de-
livering addresses out west on “The Re-
sults of a Protective Tariff ; or, Peace,
Happiness and Plenty.” If all the peace,
happiness and plenty that we enjoy in
this country is to be attributed to the
system of protection, then how much
more of the thing is necessary to estab-
lish an easthly paradise? Perhaps the
reaceful and happy miners in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Alabama can answer
the question.

‘here is a movement among the Pitts.
burg negroes to drop off from Blaine
The Pittsburg Commoner, a weekly paper
edited by colored politicians, say there is
a secret movement on foot among colored
voters of Allegheny county to bolt the
Republican party and that the move-
ment has gained great proportions, It
says that “the general sentiment is in fa-
vor of Ben Butler, and the Republican
party need not be surprised if the color-
ed people after this take an independent
stand in politics.”
The commissioners re-nominated in
this county have inaugurated economy
in the expenditures; they have com-
pelied the collection of outstanding du-
plicates thereby reducing the coun-
ty debt some 30,000 dollars, which
brings about a reduction of the county
tax. We think every tax-paver will feel
like saying “well-done,” and cast his vote
for the re-election of the old commission-
ers,

THE MAINE ELECTION,
The election was held in Maine last
Monday for state officers, four congress-
men and prohibition amendment, Tue
Republicans were expecting at least 20,~
000 majority.
The Lewistown Journal, republican,
given Robie 12,000 majority and claims
all the congressmen elected. The eon-
grescional vole is coming in slowly, but
indications are that all four present cons
gresemen are reselected. The constitn

majority,
Thus Maine does not give much impe-

the military service of this Btate during
the war. Not long ago William W. Ker,
the lawyer, was introdnoced to him, and
the first question the Governor asked
was whether he was not one of the four
Ker brothers who volunteered together
for the war. “I am.” answered Ker
“ What has become of the other three?’
asked the Governor. * Do yon kuow, I
remember the names of every family of
two or more brothers who enlisted in
Pennsylvania?” Ker then told him
what the fate of his brothers had been.
‘We were all six feet high. The eldest
went into a cavalry regiment and in one
of the actions befgre Richmond had bis
arm broken by a bullet. He staggered,
supported by a friend, to the rear, when
a second shot pleroed his body, paralyz-
ng the entire right side of it. At this
time orders were issued that the com-
missoned officers incapacitated for ser-
vice should be retired. Unwilling to
leave his regiment, he had special trap-
pings made for his horse, and strapped
to the saddle did afterwards good service
in the field, and was with the army that
hung on Lee's rear after his defeat at
Gettysburg in 1863. The soldiers called
him the paralyzed Capiain, and he re-
mained with his regiment in that oon-
dition until the close of the war. He
waa then appointed to a captaincy in the
regular army, but I met the messenger
bringing his commission with the words :
‘My brother has jast died.’ Our
youngest brother, who was only seven.
teen years of age, was killed in front of
Richmond. His body was never re.
sovered. A friend of the family, who
wes in the fight with him, said that a ball
struck him over the hear!, whereupon he
flung up his hands and fell over stone
fead. This was the last ever sean or
