Lieantenant Governor Stone, of Wars
ren county, has sonounced himself au
aspirant for the Republican nomination
for governor. This makes three formal
entries, Hastings, Delamater and Stone.
It would be rough on oar Dan if the Re~
publicaus should Sioae him,
Mike Musser is not the choices of two-
thirds the Republicans of Aaconsburg.
The negligent manner in which he con~
ducted the post office of that town, in
former years, does not strike the people
dowa there of his of-
fice,
itness for any
OT SI AI.
When Henderson gets throvgh with
raising the valuation of the farmers’
acres, and mules in Snowshoe, he will
give his attention to raising the wvalua-
tion of the ass in the Gazette office, and
try and pat the animal up a litile high
er. If Henderson would just rrise hime
self up out of the commissioners’ office,
thepeople would rejoice.

Mr. Riley, of Boalsburg. curacminee for
associate judge, stands well in his own
community. He is a good busivess man
a good citizen, aad a gentlemar of good
sound sense, He does not need to have
another to do his thinking. as is the case
with M. M. Masser, his opponsnt, run-
ning for the sama office, and who is
simply a creature of the Repubiican ring
of Bellefonte.

Centre county never had a more effi-
cient prothonotary than Lew Bchaefler,
Never one more obliging. Never one

Lew Schaeffer is always at his post, The
important records in his office are kept
with scrupulons care and faultless exact
ness, Keep him there, voters, and com
vliment a true sad faithfal officer, by an
increased majority.
It would be amusing to read all the
advice we get as to how the Reronrren
should be condncted—by persons who
kuow all about conducting a paper, of
course, although they never conducted
one. It would be just as amusing too if
the paper was conducted according to
the hundred different notions of these
kind people who charge nothing for the
advice that is given, and many of whom
pay nothing towards the support of the
paper. After all we think it best to go
on in our Wa way as that has Leen most
fruitful of success. Persons who know
how to conduct a paper don’t seem to be
scarce,
RI ———
A few days ago we listened to quite an
animated diecussion between two Re-
publicans and a Democrat, as to which
of the two commissioners will show the
larger score of days put in, Henderson,
or Decker. One Republican and the
Democrat thought Hendersor would
show the most days; the other Republi.
can, from Potters Mills, seeing Decker
pass oftener, thinks Decker’s shingle
will show the larger number of notches.
The Rerolfign will test public sentis
ment upon this race between Henderson
and Decker and give the result in next
issue. We predict Henderson scores the
largest row.
That Explosion Over in Ohio
The Republicans of Ohio are badly de-
moralized, and if they don’t go under
next month, by the weight of the]
ridicule the recent performances of their
leaders has evoked, they are iuvalneras

Since the failure of the Panama Cansl
Company the towns of Panama and Colon
have entirely changed in appearance.
Frout street, in Colon, or Aspinwall, as
the Americans have always called it, in
honor of the father of the Panama Rail-
road, used to be lined with large stores
of sll descriptions, from which the
various towns on the line of the canal
ated to get all their supplies. These
gbores, the irade no Jouger existing, have
all disappeared, and their places are
taken by small Chiness shops. In
Panama the visible marks of the collapses
of the company are the dwelling houses
and stores, which, in the palmy days
dating from 1880, the year in which the
digging of the canal commenced, were
80 abundantly put up and as rapidly
found vecupants.
