County Committee Meeting!
Unanimous Endorsement of Blaine I
Huntingdon County a Unit for the
Statesman of the Pine Tree State 1
The Republican County Committee of
this county met in Convention, pursuant
to a call of the Chairman, on Monday last,
at 2 o'clock, P. u , an unusually full dole
gation being in attendance, and after or
ganizing proceeded to the selection of a
Setrafkrial delegate to represent ihe dis
trict in the coming State Convention at
Harrisburg. Major James McPherran, of
Alexandria, and John W. Mattern, esq.,
of Huntingdon, were placed in nomination
and balloted for, and on counting the vote
it was ascertained that it was a tie vote,
each gentleman having received twenty
eight votes. Before proceeding to a second
balloting it was, at the suggestion of D.
Blair, eFq., resolved that both gentlemen
be selected to go to Harrisburg as delegates
having one vote each.
The following persons were placed in
nomination for Representative Delegates :
Joseph G. Isenberg, csq., of Huntingdon;
P. H. Bence, esq., of Three Springs ; M.
S. Lytle, esq., of Huntingdon ; Samuel H.
Irvin, esq , of Huntingdon.
The names of Messrs. Lytle and Irvin
were subsequently withdrawn, and Messrs.
Isenberg and Bence were declared tl , e
choice of the committee by acclamation.
The following resolution was offered and
adopted :
Resolved. That we hereby heartily endorse and
recommend the nomination of John A. Lemon, of
Blair county, as the candidate for Auditor Gen
eral, at the coming State Convention, and that
our delegates will act accordingly in supporting
and voting to secure, so far as they can do, for
him the said nomination.
After disposing of some other matters of
minor importance, it was suggested that the
members of the committee give expression
to their views on the subject of the Presi
dential nominee, in order that the delegates
might be better enabled to carry out the
wishes of the people in Convention .
D. Blair, esq., of Huntingdon, offered a
few remarks by way of suggestion, in the
course of which he said that the great and
absorbing question in the minds of all now
was in regard to the Presidential election.
[Cries of Blaine, Blaine!] This he said
was a question on which the committee
ought to take a vote here to-day. While
he had entire confidence in the gentlemen
elected as delegates, and believed they
would act in view of the best interests of
the party, yet still he was not entirely sat
isfied with the way in which things are
being done in regard. to this matter. He
did not wish, he said, to find fault, but
thought there had been too much haste
manifested in the matter, and believed that
it was important to have an expression of
opinion to-day in Convention, in regard to
tie preference of each individual member,
so that the delegates when they went to
Harrisburg would be able to know the
sentiment of the people of the county, and
proposed that the Chairman be requested
to call the names of the delegates, and
that each one indicate his preference as
to the coming Presidential candidate.
[Cries of vote by acclamation.]
The question was finally put by the
Chairman by a rising vote, when it was
found the committee were unanimous for
Blaine, without one dissenting vote. and
withont so much as naming any other can
didate.
The attendance, as we said, was very full,
and the members of the committee repre
rented very fully the sentiment of the peo
pie, so that our assertion of last week that
eight oat of every ten of the Republicans
of the county were for Blaine, was more
than sustained, and the delegates, after
this manifestation of the sentiment of the
people, will not go to the State or Nation
al Convention uninstructed as to the wishes
of the Republicans of Huntingdon county.
Tux latest news from Washington con
cerning the Curtin-Yocum elec ion con
test is to the effect that the case will be
remanded back to the people of the dis
trier for their decision, at an election to be
held for this purpose. This is certainly
a novel way of deciding a contested seat,
but, after all, we believe it is the fairest
way of getting at it. If the election goes
back to the people it is hard to tell what
the result will be. Curtin is very un
popular with the people, and had Mr. Yo
cum, during the time he occupied the seat,
acted with the Republican party, and not
played toady to the Democracy for the
purpose of retaining his seat, he would lay
the ex Governor out stark and cold in the
coming election. But his course in Con
gress won for him the contempt of both
Republieaos and honest bemocrats, and
when he and the apostate Curtin again go
before the people the hottest voters will
feel very much like the old woman did
when her worthless husband was engaged
in a r0n.91 and tumble fight with the bear,
they w 3n't care a d—n which one whips."

Feeling that we h?,(1 furnished M r.

without receiving pay for it, we p'aeed his
account in the hands of our attorney for

polite note, stating the amount of his in
debtedness, and giving him a certain
length of time in which to make payment
before suit would be instituted. In an
ewer to that note Mr. Blank writes a "flew

There's honesty for you. For six years
and a little over three months this man
has been receiving the JOURNAL—but that
he read it to little advantage is evident
from the style of his letter—at our cx
pew, and now when we want him to pay
us he flatly refuses to do so. We don't
know what some people would call such
conduct, but for our part we consider
it the basest kind or scoundrelism. We
would entertain just as high an opinion
of Mr. Blank if he had come down to
Huntingdon, entered our residence, at
midnight, and stolen $lB 58 from cur
pockets—provided be could have found
that amount, which is not probable if
we had many patrons like him. We look
upon this fellow as a scoundrel and a sneak,
who lives off tie labor of his fellows with
out giving them any remuneration for their
toil. He is a professional "dead beat," and
we think the best thing the citizens of
Warriorsmark could do with him would
be to send him to the "barrens," just over
the line in Centre county, or turn him
out in the mountain above the Furnace,
where he could enjoy, without money and
without prise, the air and water nature
has so lavishly furnished, and let him
there live and die unwept, unhonored and
unsung.
BLAINE TH E IDOL OF HIS PEOPLE.
The New York 7 ritune says that the
affectionate enthusiasm with which the
Maine Republicans greeted Senator Blaine
on Saturday, when he made his first public
appearance in a considerable time, was a
type of the admiration with which his
recent course must be regarded by the
whole country. It is a fact worthy of
public attention that in this whole Maine
business Mr. Blaine bas exhibited the
very qualities which his enemies have
always 0 .:17 I:id not possess. The
country ► s been rep atedly assured that
he was a brilliant debater, but a poor
cow: .or ; thatin was a good man to stir
up th ; muses on the stump, but lacked
the moderation (and dullness) necessary to
a statesman ; that he was too radical, that
he was reckless, that he lacked conservatism
and caution. It will do no harm to direct
attention to the fact that moderation, eau
tion, conservatism, have been the most
conspicuous features of the whole Repub
lican campaign in Maine ; as carried
through under Mr Blaine's leadership.
He has kept cool in a place where almost
any other man would have lost his wits.
Ile has not taken one false step, and his
campaign for popular rights has moved
steadily forward with the precision of the
machinery, impressing the country at
every advance with the justice of the Re
publican cause, and forcing his opponents
steadily backward. It is not an exagger
ation to say that his leadership has com
bined the highest political skill with the
soundest judgment in statesmanship. This
has been done too when public feeling was
at a white heat. A very little spark would
have kindled war in Maine, and the fact
that there had been no war is probably
due more to Mr. Blaine than to any other
man
THE Harrisburg Telegraph contends
that the question now at issue in Maine is
one of law vs. anarchy. It says that Gar
celon, a demagogue, acting at the sugges
Lion of interested partisans not citizens of
Maine, took advantage of technicalities in
the election laws to disfranchise thousands
of legal voters, forming a majority in
certain election districts. His act was
that of a knave. He assumed powers with
which the law did not clothe him, and
usurped the authority of the judiciary to
give color and force to an act which, as
Executive, he had no legal right to per
form. And now when the whole question
"rand and illegality, of defect in the
performance of certain duties devolved on
election officers, is referred to the conics
the Democracy which urged Garcelon on
to his act, and who were invested by that
issue with questionable power, deny the
right of the courts to exercise the fungi
tions which the Constitution invested them
with. Could anything be mere monstrous ?
First the Executive usurps the power of
the courts. Next, when cited to appear
in court hello° the highest tribunal in
Maine, its decrees are rejected, and the
whole machinery of the State Government
upset to insure success to a political fraud.
Thus the issue in Maine is now one of law
vs. anarchy. When will this end. as a
precedent, if anarchy triumphs in MAine ?

The Tribune Almanac for 1830
The simple announcement that THE
TRIBUNE ALMANAC FOR ISSO is now
ready is the only hint which the American
public requires in reference to this annual
register. This is the only Almanac pub
lished in the United States that has a
National reputation. The eclectic princi
ple lies at the base of a thoroughly digest
ed Almanac. THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC
does not have encyclopxdic aims. It is a
common sense manual of American poli
tics intended for actual use by a practical
public.
The general Table of Contents of the
present issue will be familiar to the public.
After the calendar pages and astronomical
observations is placed a digest of the pub
lic laws of the regular and extra sessions
of Congress, with summaries of the party
platforms adopted in 187$ and the Con
stitutional Amendments enacted and sanc
tioned in various States. The chapter on
the elections of United States Senators is
next in order, and is followed by a table
of the electoral vote for Presinent from
1864 and lists of the principal executive,
departmental, diplomatic and judical offi
cers. Among the Government, ciuner
cial and miscellaneous statistics are tables
relating to railroad mileage and business,
imports and exports, iron ship building
since 1870, revenues and expenditures
since 1875, appropriations for 1879 and
1880, immigration since 1870, coinage in
1879 and previous years, production of
gold and silver in 1879, imports and ex
ports of coin and bullion, National bank,
currency and savings, bank tables, internal
revenue statistics, public debt of the
United States, and value in United States
money of foreign coins. ~:iitiong other
civil lists are the rolls of the XLVIth
Congress, the Governors oldie States, and
the State Government and County Clerks
and s..lieritTi of New York. The body of
the work is res._:rved for e!eetion returns
from all tl:e Sta!es.
THE ALMANAC iv.s been compiled by
the lion Edward McPherson, a statisti
cian of National reputation, who has con
ducted the Hiles for several years. The
price remaiw. as before—twenty live cents
for each copy—with the usual discount to
the trade. THE ALMANAC for HSU will
be sent post-paid to any address in the
United States, on receipt of the price, and
all orders will receive immediate attention.

Enrrott .TouttNAl.:—As gate an amount of coal
finds its way to your town from the mines in this
immediate vicinity, an item may be of interest.
The fatal explosion in a mine of the Penn (its
Wad Company, near Irwin, December 29th, has
tonna wide circulation in our papers. This was
but a few miles creel here. As it was but 4A. at.,
few miners had yet enterei the fatal section.
Only three wore killed, but had it been a little
later the loss of life might have been much greater,
there being about tau hundred teen sit boys
employed in this wire. It is not known whether
the accutuulated f,re-dauip was the result of
accidental or malicious opening of the ventilating
doors. There are a number of surmises. As
these miners refused to enter the late strikes,
by many it is supposed to have been done by
neighboring miners. At the Coroner's inquest
the jury rendered the following verdict: "Deceas
ed came to their deaths by the effect of an explo
sion olgas, caused by its accidental firing; accu
mulation of which resulted from deranged ventila
tion. caused either by the careless or malicious
leaving open of doors in said wine, by persons
unknown " The miners of Irwin and vicinity
held a large mass meeting on January Ist, to
consider the above explosion. A series of resolu
tions were adopted, in which they indignantly
denied that the miners bad any-thing to da with
leaving open the mine doors. Secretary D. R.
Jones, has written a lengthy charge, stating that
the neglect is traceable to the neglect of the Penn
Coal Co. The care may be carried to the courts.
At the same meeting the question of wages was
discussed at length. The result was a demand for
60 cents per ton over a three-fourths screen;
drivers $2; and outside hands $1.50. After being
out a few days their demands were accepted, and
all went to work. The Penn miners received their
advance first, but would not work until the same
'was given to thoseof the Westmoreland Company.
After a general strike of this kind, the Companies
employ all the men they can, thus giving each
wan about ha!f his regular number of wagons to
fill; so in the end little more is made than before.
As the last demand has been so successful, coming
bet a few weeks after their last success, the miners
talk of demanding more.
It is wonderful to see the dimensions the coal
and coke trade in Pittsburgh C•ial Bed has as-
Business is ever active and manufactur
ing interests ever progressing. Why can't Hunt
ingdon county develop her great iron wealth, and
Huntingdon become the business centre her fa
cilities say she should become?
One of a geological turn of mind, with the time,
can revel in the luseiliferous shales all over this
section Carnegie & Co., ne•&r Larimer, use the
slack or fine screenings front the Penn and W..st
moreland Mines, which they wash before coking.
These 140 ovens light up the hills round about for
miles, and as I sit in my room the light is quite
perceptible. Their coke is said to he equal to
that of the Connellsville region. O. M. B.
