' Organization or IHxorganl
xeition. ' In our paper of tin's week will be
' found two documents of importances
to the- Ihimpcracy ol Clearfield coun
ty. Ono is a cull for a Democratic
Convention, issued outside- of tlio or
' ganirntion, accompanied by the pro
, feedings of a meeting, hold at Cur
' wcnsvillo, in pursuunco of itiitt cull,
nt wliitu mealing resolutions Lavo
; boon passed and a call for a Primary
; Kloction of Delegates and a County
Convention to nominuto a ticket is
mado. Tlio oilier document is a let
tor from a number of Democrats, (o
tho Cbairman of tlio County Cointiiil-
too, asking bim to call togelhor his
Committeo to take into consideration
tlio propriety of a cliango of tho sys
tem of nominating candidntos, and
this loiter is acquiesced in by the
Chairman muking I lie call desired and
a mooting of tho Committeo appoint
cd to bo held on September 9th, 1873
. Wo thus bavo a distinct ixsue uiudo
belweon action within tho organiza
' tion and palpablo and avowed disor
ganization. Those who havo attend
od and are acting with the Curwcns--,
villo mooting scora to forget that the
Democratio party has a recognized
system of discipline and action ; they
have attempted to correct their griev
' ances, if such they have, by striking
a blow at their party and giving aid
and comfort to tho liepublicans.
Those who sign the lottor to tho Clmir-
. man, recognizo a system of organizn
lion, claim that wrongs oxittt and ask
that tboBe wrongs bo corrected within,
not outsido of that organization. The
griovanccs, detailed in tho resolutions
of tho Curwensvillo mooting, may or
. may not exist ; if they do, they are
but a repetition of what has osourrcd
ot every Primary Election fur years,
and they can and should be corrected
by the Democracy themselves, with
out the aid of Mr. Fulford or of Cur
wensvillo Republicans. It seems to
bo admitted on both sides that tho
system of nominating needs amend
. mont or change, and it is tho plain
duty of ovary one who loves bis pur
' ty or socks its purity to aid In mak
ing that umondmcnt or cliango; but
it is equally his duty to act in doing
to within tho organization and not
outsido of it. Iloro is tho line of dis
tinction to which wo call tho atten
tion of all right minded Democrats.
Tho question is simply ono of organi
zation or of disorganization. Will
yon aid the liepublicans or sustain
your own friends? For -those who
are in this movomont for pomonal
ends, whoso motto is "rulo or ruin,"
wo havo no tolerance. They know
belter and they havo, by falsehood
and douhlO'dculing, deluded lionost
men to their own undoing. Their
Oily Gammon wiles nnd bold asser
tions are powerless In the light of
right and truth. ' Mo havo had this
game altomptcd beforo and it hns
found merited failure as it certainly
will now. ; To combino with Itepubli
enns and out tho ticket may bo all
vory well to thoso n ho havo again
and again been defeated at tho polls,
tut to thoso who lovo thoir party and
its principles, who seek no office and
novo no personal ends to attain, the
plain path of action within tho organ
ization and tho support of tho ticket
seems to bo the right ono. If, in this
Primary Election, wrongs have boon
perpetrated, it is but fair, to ask have
not ull boon guilty of the same wrongs
in a greater or less degrcof It is
just, loo, to remember thut every sys
tem of nominating become, in a pe
riod of yoars, subject to abuso, nnd
its amendmont or correction becomes
a necessity, whilst to Democrats It is
conclusive to suy that the wrongs com
plained ol must bo righted In the Con
tention of Return Judges or within
the pale of parly organization. Tho
gentlemen who engineer tho Curwens
villo movement are not snitcd with
action vitkit tho pnrty. They have
keen disappointed in a pet candidalo,
nd they 1iot attempted to break up
tho Democratio organization lo attain
theirowa ends. Have they ever sought
and action f Havo tho defeated can
didates appealed from tlio decrco of
tho J let urn Judges, declaring who
woro nominntod, to tho recognized
tribunals of tho parly f Why is the
Republican Convention postponed
and n tickot to bo formed for them
and the Curwensvillo meeting f Why
is It understood that a full Democratic
ticket Is to ho put in 4he field und Re
publicans aro to havo no part or lot
in itf 1 How patient nnd long-suffer
ing our Republican bruthron aro, that
they cun lido their timo nnd meekly
volo for tho ' Democratio ticket that
tho Curwensvillo meeting dictates.
Why is this Democratic meeting hold
at Curwcnsville J ' It is idlo to pursue
this snhjert further. , Tho wrongs, If
wrongs ihero bo, can be and are to be
corrected within the Democratio or
ganieulion and not outsido of it. Tho
remedy for the shortcomings thut have
been universally prevalent in tho ad
ministrations of tho Crawford Coun
ty System is not to be found in cut
ting tho regular ticket and sustaining
Republican and boiling combinations,
but it is to to found in tho purifica
tion of our own household under the
control and direction of our rocognized
tribunals and in tho support of tho
regular ticket, which is binding upon
all, bocauso it has been so duclurod by
tho only power Democrats can recog
nizo. Tho wholo issuo presented is
that of organization or of disorgani
zation, of a! J to Republicans or tup
port to your own household. ,
The Stale Contention,
This body met nt Wilkos Burro on
Wednesday, the 27th of August, nnd
nominated James R. Ludlow, of Phil-
odelphia, for Supreme Judgo, and
! rank Jl. Uitchinhon, of Pittsburg,
fur Stnlo Treasurer. They were both
nominated on the second ballot. Mr.
Ludlow is ono of tho Common Pleas
Judges iu Philadelphia and Mr. Hutch
inson is tho Treasurer of tho Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad
Tho nominations aro politic und the
very beet thut could have been mado.
As cvidenco of litis wo quoto from

a bn.incss man of high character, waa nominated
tor ine Btaie Treasurorship.
Our townsman, Judge Barrett, ro-
ceived 11 volos on the first ballot for
Supremo Judgo, and our Philipsburg
neighbor, Ex-Sheriff Perks, received
33 votes in tho first ballot for Stato
Treasurer. A. W". Leo was our Rep
rosentutivo Delegate, and Jtinics P
Halo, of Osceola, was our Senatorial
Delegalo. '
The proceedings of tho Convention
were eminently proper and tho reso
lutions adopted excellent. The Dele
gates discharged thoir wholo duty ex

should havo been expelled. It is true

it may prove a warning to him never
to show his faco in n Duraocrnlio con

We aro ploa9od at the treatment llio
Congressional bnck-pay grabbers re
ceived. At least half a dozen of those
follows bad themselves manufactured
nto delegates and hovcrod around tho
Convention for tho purposo of over
nwuing tho body, but they wcro hissed,
kicked out and condemned in a very
decided manner. Tho Convention
was evidently not a machine moved
and controlled Ly one man, Ilko tho
lato Radical Convention, but each
member declared his indepondonce,
assorted bis manhood, demanded his
rights nnd denounced wrong cvery-
wnero. u was a real Democratic
body. Wo will publish tho proceed
ings in full next week.
The Call. Tho circular addressed
by a number of Democrats to tho
Chairman of tho County Committee,
and found clscwhcro, although only
in circnlntion for about ono day, con
tains over 1200 signatures. Wo would
ko to publish all tho names, but that
id impossible. Wo however give Hie
names of somo of tho citiwuiH who re

to show that nil aro hut Modocs who
reside in the disa.Teetcd dihti itU. Wo
havo no doubt Lul that within three
days 2500 Democrats would sign tho
call, woro it necessary, for thu, over
throw of the reul "ring" or "cliniio''
employed by tho Rudit-als. If there

il does not cohabit with thu enemy.

That wo should bo put out of tho

A Cow porsons, over sinco our Pri
mary Election, havo done their vory
best to rniso a disturbance in our par
ly organization, just because "their
man was noli nominuttd. 'Alter a
two month's tramp ovar the county
by about a dozen of these would-be
reformers, soliciting signatures to a
printed petition found below, Cupl.
Jack and his bund of Mudocs, to the
number of from thirty lo forty, met
in tho public School House, in Cur
wonsvillc, on Thursday, Ihe 28lh ol
August, fur llio purposo of rectifying
all party wrongs in thiscosnty. Liko
the old Jews, they want somobody
stoned to death, fordoing just what
they Ituvo probably ofton dono thom-
selvcs. - These men csluom. it a crime
for a Republican to. vote at our Pri
mary Election, yet it is notorious that
these- sumo individuals havo entered
into n bargain and rale with a portion
of tho Republican leaders to carry
their point, mid aro holding daily cau
cuses with thorn. If thoso men aro
honost in thoir movement, thoy are
wonderfully impolitic at all ovenls ;
because, who ever heard of reforming
a party by going outsido ot tliut or
ganization and coquetting with its
enemies f This nlono is enough to
shako tho confidence of thoughtful
men who lovo and revcro tho princi
ples of tho Democratio partv.
Thoso relormors say that "thoy will
not submit to a cliquo in the borougli
of I Icaifiold and the wiro-workcrs in
their employ." We know nothing of
the "ring," although wo have resided
bore for fourteen yeurs. But, suppose
wo concedo that thoro" fs a '"clique"
hero, how much bolter is tho ono at
Now Washington, for it is said there
is ono doing business thoro t To this
we prcsumo ihero will bo but little
objection so long as it does not enter
into partnership with the Radicals for
the purpose pf defeating our nominees.
It is the right and duty of ovcry
Demoerut to denounce wrongs within
tho purly, If ho hits just grounds for
his belief that they oxist, and to ad
vocate and suggost reforms, but to go
outsido of the party organization is
rebellion, and never corrects evils or
strongthons tho party. Tho move
ment under consideration would bo
right if inudo at the right timo and
within the party organization. Hut,
under thd circumstances, it can do
tho party no good, and if tho move-!
nient is mado for tho purposo of slrik-
ing at a low individual members of
tho party, then this is still A biggor
"cliquo" than wo havo in Clearfield,
and if ono "cliquo" is wrong all aro
wrong and descrvo to bo denounced
by the parly organization. Upon this
point wo may have something to say
oeioro ino election comes around.
The following aro tho proceedings
ol the t urwenBvillo meeting :
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.;
The undersigned members of tho
Democratic party of Clearfield coun
ty, believing that the rouctil Primarv
Election, held for tho nomination of
candidates to bo supported at the Oc
tober Election, was unfairly conduct
ed, are not satisfied to bo bound by it.
Having heretofore supported every
tickot pluccd in tho field, and having
stood by the party and its organiza
tions under good and evil report, wo
fool it to be our duty to-sco that fair
nominations are made. At tho re
cent election Republicans were allow
ed to vote in most of the townships,
minors and persons not citizens, voted
wnorevor they bolonicj to "tie rina."
and would promiso to vote in tho right
way. Tho result was that nil tho
candidates for tho important offices
were selected from the borough of
anco of the express wishes of hun
drrili who havo signed a paper au
thorising Il and who dosiro to stand
by the party whenever Democratio
nominations aro mnile, but. who be
hove Hint honesty and fairness in pol
itics should prevail fend that fruud vi
tiates cvory contrnct.
And wiimiKAs, This meeting Is sat
isfied Ihat tho Primary Election, held
for tho nomination of a Democratic
ticket, was conducted in open viola
tion of tlio rules of the purly and in
so fraudulent manner 'as hot. to bo
binding on any Democrat; tho nomi
nees In many instances procuring their
votes by tho most uufuir and Improp
er meuiis. " i ' ( , ' , ( '
"And wiikrias, This meeting has
met to douluro Hint while they stand
firmly by tho principles of the Demo
cratio party, and U'lend lo do so as
members of that party, thoy will not
submit to a cliquo in the borough of
Clearfield in dictating lo the party
who Biinu nnu wno Bitaii not manage
the affairs of tho county, As tax
payers thoy foul il thoir boti n Jen du

rifying tlio channels through which

Resolved, That in the ouinion of
this mooting llio nominations Dublisli-
ed, as boing mado by tho Democratic
party of Clout Held county, are not

Jiesolved, That beiitif satisfied that
Republicans woro allowed to vote al

stances is sullieient in itself to render
tho nominations void; wo cunnot agree
thut tho Republican party shall make
tho nominations for the Democratic
parly, lest they might aid in making
such as would bo most easily beaten.
Jlejolved, Thut wo cannot agreo as
Democrats to be bound by nomina
tions mado on tho fuilh of returns
from townships where fraudulent re
turns wore figured up by a few wiro
workcrs in thoir employ and doing
the bidding of a combination of can
didates. Jtesolvrd, That this meeting recom

equal number of delegatos from each
township and borough. ' ,
Resolved, That this meeting ap
rirovo and endorse tho old and time
honored principles of tho Democratic
party : that they are in favor of so

government as to confer the greatest
good upon tho greatest number; thut

In somo of tho townships more

To Tim Democratic Co. Committee

To the Chairman of the Democratic Co.

Sibi Wo address you in the Inter

fear no danger from such an alliance.
It has boon tried beforo and rosqltod

foci that the present system of noml

its results. ' Its faults and weakness
have bocome apparent to nil well

We beliovo that tho remedy for the

And rocognrzing those gontlcmcn as
Democrats ol good standing in tho
organization, I cheerfully acquiesce in
liioir request, and do hereby c-ail i
meeting of tho Democratio Co. Com
mitleo, to be hold at my office, in
Clearfield, on Tuesdat. tho th of
Sfpteiirer, 1873, at 2 o'clock P. M.,
oi said day, to take Into consideiation
tbe proprioty of holding a convention
at September Court for the purposo
of amending or changing tho system
oi nominating candidates. Notice of
tho mcoting is font by mail to each
member ot the committeo.
D. L. KREHS,
Chairman.
Must de Short. Tbe editor of the
Reveille, although he slicks very close
to his business, seems lo be short of
copy, from the fnct that ho has taken
to discussing privato business and pub
lishing extracts from privato letters.
Wo surrender. We cannot compete
with him in that line, although we
havo lots of such lotlcrs on Land,
Resides, we prefer not to discuss pri
vato affairs in our columns, but would
rather fill the space In our humblo
way, from now until October, in de
fending the Democratio party and lis
candidates against tbe assaults of ils
enemies. We believe that is our duly,
and wa will discharge it as best we
can, If wo aro scalped by tho Modocs.
Well Answered. Somo Chestor
county loyalist addressed a nolo to
llie editor of tlio w est Chestor Repub
lican, the organ of Chester county
Radicalism, inquiring: 'Who is Gor
don 1" The editor answers bis inter
rogator thus: "An hninblo exponent
of iilnckstone, residing at the Capital
of Jefferson connly." That should
certainly bo very satisfactory to any
noi ovoriy captious.
