conclusion that the Bugs set the trap and
the Democrats fell into it. If we were
allowed to give our opinion we would say
the traps were set by a few old trappers

Mr. Speer and his friends announce very
confidently that Stenger's conferees will
go fur him (Speer) when they meet next
Thursday. We should expect the Cham
bersburg people to "go for" Speer out of
gratitude for the mannerin which he went
for them in a letter, written by him, from
that town, when he was there as a militia
man in September, 1862. The following
extract will be good reading for those who
intend to go for him :
"This morning we all moved to 'Camp
" Dorris,' half a mile west of 'Camp Mc
" Clure,' and near five miles from here.—
" It is a beautiful grove, and we were just
" finishing fine corn stock (sic) tents for
"ourselves when the order came, (11 A:
" as.,) that Company 'F' was detailed for
" special duty in Chambersburg. 'Fall
" into line, men,' soon followed, and in a
" moment we were off. The road was very
" dusty and half a mile of it we came at
"double quick. When we reached the
" Court House steps here there was not a
" citizen from whom we could get a buck
"et to bring us water ! And yet these
" are the people whose homes and property
"ws have left our homes and business to
"guard ! They richly deserve ;'a rebel
" raid, and I do not believe there is a man
"in our company who does not entertain
"this sentiment. As our men sat, dirty
" and weary, on the steps of the Court
House, I glanced into the lawyers' offices
"on either side, filled with well-dressed
"loungers, and then cast my eyes along
" our line, and saw five lawyers from Hun
" tingdon who had closed their offices and
" come to prosect these cowards ! My
" cheeks colored with indignation, and I
" felt like uttering upon Chambersburg
" Byron's imprecation against Southwell.
" It is now after three o'clock, and I have
"had no dinner. Mr. W. S. Africa just
" informs me that he and several of our
" men have been refused dinner at the
"'Franklin Hotel,' although the money
" was tendered. I do not know the pro
" prietor of this house, but if he has a
" soul in his carcass larger than a pin-head
" his conduct fails to prove it."
The italics are Mr. Speer's own. Stenger
being a lawyer is probably one of the
"loungers" who fill
.in the picture of
Chambersburg. We hope his conferees
may see their way clear to "go for" Speer.
The people of this county would like to
have the opportunity this fall of disposing
at one brush of Speer and his mongrel'
confederates. We are all or Speer's
nomination. We will all -"go for" him
here. By way of contrast to the brilliant
literary production of our Congressman we
leave it to the literary gentlemen of Cham
bersburg to look up Byrou's imprecation
on Southwell.
A STRANGE MIXTURE.
The Democrats at the Newport Con
gressional Conference who came from the
other counties were wonderfully puzzled
at the delegation that put in an appear.
ance from Huntingdon county. First,
there was Dad Lewis, "Chairman of the
Republican County Committee," an origi
nal Republican himself, and, according to
the Globe, the representative of all the
original Republicans of the county. He
and Guss wanted Speer nominated. "How
is this," said a Snyder county Democrat,
" the original Republicans want Speer nom
" mated, he can't be a sound Democrat, or
" else he's so weak on account of the salary
" grab that they know they can easily
" beat hint." Next Uncle George, Chair
man of the Democratic County Committee
was there, and he joined with Dad, the
original Republican, for Speer. Now "Un
cle George" is a straightout, dyed in the
wool, Kentucky resolution, 1795, Jackson
Democrat, and when he declared that Speer
and Speer only could carry Huntingdon
county, a Franklin county Democrat want
ed to know "why Chambers McKibben, a
" regular old liner, a real relic of the gen
" uine Bourbon Democracy could not car
ry it for Senate? What kind of'Demo
" crats have you, that will vote for a young
" fellow like Speer, a salary grabber at
" that, and go back on a veteran like Mc
" Kibben who has been a Democrat for
" seventy-five years, never took double pay
" and never was slapped in the mouth by
" a State Convention ?" This was a poser.
Uncle George couldn't avow that he and
Dad Lewis were the bosses Of two political
huckster shops and would trade off every
thing for Speer, for that would let out the
secret and McKibben's friend's might fear
that he would be sold out too, so the ugly
question was not answered. The truth is
Uncle George is ashamed of Guss and Dad
and the rest of the crowd he is expected
to trade with, and at home his friends don't
push him too bard on the subject as they
object to the profanity that is sure to fol
low.
Then there were Bruce Petriken and
Baily, flanked by a patrtotic squad of Re
publican soreheads who were drafted to
go down on free passes and chalked hats.
The whole thing got badly mixed up.
Speer promised friends that by ten
o'clock Thursday he would telegraph his
nomination, but ten o'clock came and the
dispatch didn't. The Democrats from the
other counties were not fools. They had
heard the back-pay thunder of the Wilkes
barre Convention, and similar rumblings
in their own county conventions. They con
eluded that it these Huntingdon county
soreheads were Republicans they might be
playing possum to get a salary-grabber
nominated, and an easy victory insured,
and if they were not Republicans but in
tended to be Democrats, they ought to have
the manliness to say so and not come snif
fling liked whipped school boys about a
Democratic Conference. Altogether they
got into such a muddle that they deter
mined to take a week to allow the air to
clear, and after three days struggle and no
result they adjourned, and sent home the
heterogenous crowd of Chairmen of Coun
ty Committees, lawyers, retired grumblers,
ex-Republican office-holders who can't get
in again, Speer, Guss, and the whole ring
streaked, spiekled and striped delegation.
Try it again ye braves.

'rho Bedford Comity Colluos
siollal Imbroglio.
Williams Honestly Carries the County.
"Holiest John" at His Old Trick
The Primary election in Bedford coun
ty was one of the most hotley contested
elections that has taken place, in that
county, since the celebrated Cessna and
Jordan contest for Governor, in 1864. In
a number of districts a full vote was polled,
and when the smoke of contest rolled away
the certified delegates stood Cessna 34 to
33 for Williams upon the over-shadowing
question of Congress. The Williams men
excepted to the regularity of the election
of the Cessna delegates in Rainsburg,
Colerain and Saxton. In Rainsburg the
election was held by one individual, a vio
lent Cessna man,
A during a greater part of
the time the polls were open, and a dis
honest return is alleged, which gave Cessna
one of a majority. In Colerain a similar
majority was returned by voting Demo
crats, while a like result was obtained in
Saxton by opening the polls one half
hour before the time stated in the call,
to give some Cessna glen a vote who were
leaving on a train, while Williams' men,
leaving on the same train, were not in
formed of the fact, and consequently did
not vote, and by voting a young man under
age. These facts the Williams men were
prepared to prove before the Conven
tion, had they been permitted to do so.
On Tuesday, when the Convention
assembled, Cessna, by virtue of his position
as Chairman of the County Committee,
called the Convention to order, and with
the effrontery peculiar to the man, made a
violent speech in his own behalf. He was
called to order by Mr. Hetzel, of Everett,
but not until he had said his say would
the irrepressible little John take his seat.
Esquj . p Lingenfelter, a very clever gen
tleman, but who generally happens to be
on hand when Cessna has any discreditable
work to do, was elected permanent Chair
man. .John believing his case safe in the
hands of the Chairman and his faithful
henchman from Dutch Corner, the Right
Honorable Thomas Hughes, withdrew
considerably riddled by the shot poured
into him by Hetzel.
Mr. Hetzel then moved that a Committee
of three be appointed on contested seats.
Mr. Hughes, posted by his master, moved
a substitute to the effect that all contested
cases be heard by the Convention. This
unprecedented trick was declared carried
by the adept Chairman. The Cessna men
gave notice that they proposed to contest
the seat of the delegate from Southampton
township. The IVilliaws men gave notice
that they proposed to contest the seats of
the delegates from Colerain, ltainsburg
and Saxton, and moved that they take up
the cases in alphabetical order. This was
not according to Hughes, and the honest
Chairman decided that Southampton must
be heard first, though at the bottom of the
list of districts.
The Lashleys, warn' partizans of Cessna,
were called, and swore that Democrats
were voted sufficient to give Williams the
majority certified. The other side proposed
to call the officers of the election and
prove that the Cessna then had voted Dem
ocrats, and that the two men who had
voted for Williams, and who were charged
with being Democrats, voted the Repub
lican ticket as often as they did the Dem
ocratic, and that Mr. Williams had a clear
majority of the Republican votes, exclusive
of those in question, but the Cessna men
had gained the control of the Con
vention, and they were determined that
their friends should be voted in and they
overrode all objections, evidence and pro
tests, and admitted their man. The Wil
liams meu, seeing that there was no hope
fur anything bearing the least semblance
to honesty, had no other resource left but
to withdraw in a body, which they did.—
And no reasonable man, after examining
the manner of organizing the Convention
—tbc tricks which Cessna resorted to to
defeat the expressed wish of the Republi
cans of the county—can hesitate a mo
ment to approve of their course.
The action of Mr. Williams was most
honorable. He opposed the withdrawal
of his delegates. He resisted everything
that he thought would jeopardize the in
terests of the party. He counseled unity
of action in every respect, and through
his influence his delegates nominated the
same ticket nominated by the remainder
of the Convention. He was willing to
sacrifice his own interests for the welfare
of the party, but the representatives of the
people determined that he should be a
candidate, and he expects to be, in obedi
ence to their request, until the Conference
shall decide the matter. The facts which
we have stated above will, we believe, be
la•id before the Conference, and he will
ask that body to do him the justice which
the County Convention wider the control
of a convenient chairman refused to grant
him.
Under the circumstances we presume it
is not like'y that Bedford county will get
the canflidate for Congress. The bitter
feeling which this contest has engendered
would produce a disastrous result in ease
either were placed in nomination. Mr.
Cessna. "can step down and out."

SPEER'S DECOY DUCKS.
On Wednesday, of last week, the Hon.
Robert Milton B. P. Speer, with a party
of choice spirits at his elbow, embarked
fur Newport to accomplish Another Demo
cratic nomination for Congress. The par
ty was a lively one, albeit it was consider
ably mixed. For the purpose of showing
our people who the persons are who are so
extremely anxious for Mr. Speer's 'lumi na _
tion, and, who were, for the mere asking
and a free ride, willing to go to Newport
to make the Democratic Conferrees there
assembled, believe that their favorite is
onnipoteut in this county, we will give
their names just as they were given to us :
Dad Lewis, Benj. Graffius, Bill Korb,
George Jackson, A. L. Glus,J.W. Green
land, James Port, Thos. .Burchinell, jr.,
De. Shade, Jno. M. Bally, Beq. &Vass,
Nicholas Isenberg, John. Rower, Joh n
Miller, Jas. E. Glasgow, Gee. M. Creswell.
117/. F. Cunningham, Benj. Foust, and
William Williams. The Democrats are
printed in Roman and the simon-pure Be
publicans, those fastidious fellows whose
pure-white souls are shocked at the very
idea of voting a ticket that might, in some
way or other, be countenanced by some
one who, a dozen or two of years ago,
voted a Democratic ticket., in Ath'es.
These names were handed to us and,
from what we know of the most of
them, we presume the list is correct. Does
any one suppose it was pure love of
the Republican party that took that pole
(ion, that claims to be Republicans, to
Newport? Some of these very melt will
be prominent at delegate elections in the
future and swear they are as good It Tub
licans as those who have always stood up
to the party. Yes, some or them mil. have
the audacity, though they have hardly
voted a regular Republican ticket for
years, to claim that they are leaders
of the party. But, thank heaven, the day
for this kind of treachery awl deception
has passed ! The people can no longer be
duped, and we mean they shall not be.
These men have made their record and we
hope they will have the manliness to stand
by it. If they are only decoy ducks, decoy
ducks let them be. They have allied them
selves to Mr. Speer to bring defeat upon
the Republican party and they must take
the consequences of their rash act.

11. 11. Bingham, of Philadelphia, was
unanimously chosen Treasurer of the com

to appoint secretaries or clerks. The at.
tendance was unusually large, and the west
cheering accounts were given of the pros
pects in all sactions of the State.
Ds_ The Republican County Conven
tion of Bedford county placed . Gen. P. S.
Elliott. of Everett, in nomination for
State Senator by a very decided vote. It
gives ns pleasure to record our friend's
success. He is eminently qualified for the
plate, and we feel confident that it' he be
the choice of the conference and secures
the election, as he undoubtedly if
nominated, that he will make a record
that will be alike honorable to himself and
his constituency.
The Republican County Conven
tion which assembled in Bedford, on Tues
day of last week, placed the following, ex
cellent ticket in nomination, viz : Gideon
D. Trout, of St. Clair, and James M. Pi
per, of Hopewell, for Legislature ; Jacob
Evans, of Londonderry, fin. Commissioner;
Hiram Blackburn, of Union, for County
Surveyor ; Levi Carpenter, of Ifarrison,
for Auditor; and Cyrus L. Over, of Mid
dle Woodberry, for Director of the Poor.
air The Temperance men who were
last year wheedled into voting for Mr.
Dunn as a Temperance candidate and are
now asked to vote for McNite on the ticket
with Alateer, should make inquiry of the
"original Republicans" who were at New
port as to how long Dr. McNite laid there
drunk, to the shame of his friends, and
until some humane attentions were neces
sary to preserve decency. We refer all con
scientious enquirers to the people who
were there and witnessed the spectacle.
.Izel.. The "genuine sinam pure" fellows
—those consistent chaps who loathe rene
gade Democrats, au:], at the same time,
have one at the ho.td or their County Com
mittee—would fain make the Democrats
believe that they are going to stand up to
them. Remember, these very fellows said
at Newport that they were only for Speer !
They would vote fin no other Democrat !
This is just like them. You can't trust
them.
re In the light of subsequent events
that little "resolute," in the Democratic
convention, yielding the Senator to Frank
lin, in consideration of her yielding the
Congressman to Huntingdon, seems to
have been rather premature. Too much
was taken for granted. Shouldn't wonder
if Huntingdon county would 0, out a
Democratic candidate for Senator yet.

FROM ORBISOXIA
ORISISONIA, Sept. 14, 1814
In our borough, on next Saturday, an im
portant question, will be submitted to file vote
of the people. Our school house is in a di
lapidated condition and altogether insufficient
in its dimensions for the accommodation of
our present juvenile population. Reconstruc
tion and enlargement of the present structure
is compulsory if we wish to avail ourselves of
the state appropriation. In view of these facts
many of our citizens are desirous of erecting
a school house, suitable in its dimensions and
arrangements to meet present and approach
ing educational requirements. In the existing
state of our school finances it will be neces-
sary to borrow $3,000 for the erection of the
requisite structure. Some of our citizens are
opposed to involving the borough in debt,
and it must be acknowledged—horror of debt
—both as regards individuals and communi
ties, is a laudable quality, nevertheless, an en
lightened view of the case will render it pal
pable that a present liberal expenditure will
ultimately be actual economy and will not
certainly involve any increase in the rate of
assessments. The last triennial increase of
valuation was $30,000.00, the next will prob
ably exhibit an extension of double that
amount. The present school house is totally
inefficient to supply existing educational re
quirements. Repairs and extention are inev
itable if the borough is to avail itself of the
State appropriation. Considerable expendi
ture is compulsory and all that the advocates
of the proposed measure require, is that the
present expenditure be competent to secure
the accommodation which will assuredly bs
required in the near future. The incessant
patching of dilapidated structures is more
costly in the end than absolute reconstruc
tion. Mapleton, MillCreck, Mount Union and
Three Springs have school accommodations in
advance of Orbisouia, and it ill becomes a lo
cality with the brilliant prospects of this bor
ough to be lagging behind in the onward
march of educational improvement, and it is
to be hoped that the citizens of Orhisonia will
exhibit in this matter, that public spirit and
patriotism which is characteristic of our coun
try and which has placed the United States in
its present position on the muster roll of
nations. PHILONATIIE 1.
President Grant is reported to have said
that he has no intention of using the Fed
eral troops anywhere in the South except
where absolutely necessary to preserve the
public peace.
An editor in a neighboring town elo,es
an article on the corn crop by saying :
"We have on exhibition in our office a
pair of magnificent ears."
Thatcher, a sou•in-lacy of Brigham
Young's was arrested at, Salt Lake City,
on Friday evening, charged subornation
