Clark Brown is an honest, upright,
thrifty farmer, and will, of course,
make a good County Commissioner.
By the election of Wm. "W. Wor

will have an accomplished accountant
and an affable, upright officer.
The political communists are still
(depending, and tho country is becom

It looks now as though tbo Consti

our members of the Assembly to 200
members.
James T. Brady 4 Co., a second,

followed Jay Cooke & Co. into pros

Stale Convention refused to endorse
Gen. Grant, but our Clearfield Rads
on Wednesday night glorified him to

The New Firm. The New Wash

The twain have taken a Savage sub

Rev. Edwin W. llutter, a leading
clergyman of tho Lutheran denomina
tion, died in Philadelphia on tho 21st.
He was an active politician in his
younger days, but had dodicated him
self to the ministry since 1850. Ho
was GO years of ago.
Democrats, by voting for our coun
ty tickot, from Dr. Boyor down lo
Goorge Thorn, you will be voting for
gentlomen who would never have bolt
ed, had they boon defoatcd ut the pri
mary election. Becauso their word is
just as good as their note.
A True Test. Reader, when -ever
yba bear a politician canvassing the
religious viows or opinions of his rival
instead of his integrity, ability or
moral fitnoss, sot that man down for
a fool or a knave. Thoro can bo no
doubt on this point. This tOBt is as
true as tho ncodlo is to the polo.
No ono of our nominees is bettor
qualified for hit position than Mr.
Fielding. lie is an ablo lawyer and
will, of courso, make a numbor one
Distriot Attorney. Tho reforming
Modoc's bavo such an abiding faith
in his integrity, thut they adopted
him without any hesitation.
Another defaulting Ruvenuo Collec

tbey say the country was never so
prosperous. Well, then, we supposo
defaulting will become more frequent
and the country still more pronporous.
Go ahead.
Patton, Murray, Fulford and Mc
Bnally all gavo glowing description,
on Wednesday night last, at the Mo
doo marriage, of tho wondorful pros
perity of the oountry, which all arose
from tho fact that we are govornlng
the country. If suspensions croate
prosperity, lot us have more of tho

' "Subject to the action of the Demo
cratio party at the primary eloollon."
Tbii is what Potter, Suvage and Wise
remarked to everybody. Now, thoy
hove violated thoir pledge of honor
and have told thomsolvcs to C'u ra
ining, Tallon A Co. Talk about cor
ruption and fraud at the primary oleo
tion I If there are any greater frauds
than these three Individuals, we woald
like to have thorn pointed out. A Rad
ical may support them with consisten
cy, but no Demoorat, who loves his
parly, can toto for either. .
Parly TYraio.
We bavo no fault to find wltb any
man who, In a proper mannor, for
sakes the Democratic party and joint
the enemy. The samo moral rule
which controls honorable men in their
businoss and sociul affairs, should con
trol them in thoir politics. If a man
believoa the doctrines of the Radical
party wrong, lot him join tho Porno
crats. And vice versa. This is manly
and dignified. But to forsuko a party
and join the enemy oftor being de
feated, partakes too much of the Bono
diet Arnold plan, and cannot bo de
fended by any man who prefers truth
to falsehood and moral integrity to
duplicity. Dr. Tottor, Mr. Savago
and Mr. Wise, oftor pledging thoir
word and honor to abide tho result of
the primary election, and then going
over to tho onemy, have dono just as
wickod an act, in our estimation in a
moral point of viow, at Arnold, the
traitor, when ho joined the British.
Had tbey joined tho cnomy beforo
seoking a nomination at tbo bunds of
our party friends, we would bavo re
spected thorn. But, as it is, wo must
denounce their movoment as unbe
coming honorable mon, and their act
cannot bo defendod by any christian
or Heathen code of morula. Tbey
havo disappointed and compromised
all thoir real friends, and must look to
men who wanted to imprison them a
few years ago, for suportors and do
fenders. The Change.
We have for years boon a strong
adherent of the Crawford system of
nominating candidates, but it bus
been so alarmingly abused within the
Inst three years, that wo havo been
compelled to surrender to the advo
cates of tho delegate systom, or a blend
ing of tho two systems with proper
safeguards. The proceedings of tho
convention which mot in the Court
Room last week, will be fuund clo
wboro in this issuo, and we ask our
friends to give the now rulos duo con
sideration and a fuir trial. A very
largo portion of our people have al
ways been Blronuoudy opposed lo the
"Crawford system," and the action oi
the lute convention was so harmoni
ous and strong for a change 54 to 19
that wo have surrendered our views
and call upon all those who bavo felt
like us to fall in, so that every evil of
the old system may bcoome abrogated
and harmony exist throughout our
organization, and so that the most
erratic Modoo must ezoluin, "see bow
thoso brethren dwell logolhor la har
mony." Wo really think thut tho
cbungo must satisfy tho most captious
opponent of the old system, whose
friends will lo a man give the now
rules a proper interpretation and a
cordial support.
II V Explain.
Tho fact that tho Modocs adopted
onr nominees for District Attorney,
Auditor, Jury Commissioner and Cor
oner, is no evidence that these gen
tlomon sympathize with the New
Washington and Curwonsville ring
store. Tho reverse is the fact. Mr.
Fielding, Mr. Brown, Mr. Sliugart and
Mr. Thorn, all denounce tbo movo
ment. Tbey were nominated with-
nnt. ihnir consent, and of oourso conld
not prevent tho Modocs from endors
ing them. Hud their movemont boon
in tho interest of reform and harmony
they would have endortod our whole
tickot. But us tho election of Mr.
Savago is their only motivo, they aro
consistent in acting just as inconsis
tently as possible.
Our nominees for tho offices named
being peculiarly woll qualified for their
respective positions, it is but natural
that they should bo elected by a very
lurgo majority. On the 'other hand,
our nnmiuoes for Assombly, Sheriff,
Treasurer and County Commissioner
are fur better qualified to discharge
their respective duties then their op
ponents. Honco, thoro is not a single
reason why any Democrat should vote
tho Modoo ticket.
David W. Wise. Up to within
throe months thoro was not an indi
vidual within tho bounds of our coun
ty for whom we bad greator rospoct
than Maj, Wise. But sinco that time
ho has boon so decoptive and vascila
ting that he suoms to havo undergone
an entire change. His ambition seems
to have run off with bis good senso
and ho now prelrrs to bunk in tho affec
tions of his enemies, instead of his
frionds. His qualifications ore undis
puted, yot not a whit bettor than
Mr. WoiTalfs, who Is seeking tho of
fico of Trcamror in an honorublo man
nor, and Domucrals will fail to dis
charge thoir duly to the party In pre
ferring Mr. Wise lo him.
James Savaiie. We unhesitatingly
say that this gentleman is wholly un
fit to nil the utlice he is seeking. It
it tho height of presumption on his
purl and that of his friends to press
him. Wo have known him personally
for a numbor of years, and having
ourself served over a year in tho ca
pacity of Sheriff, we havo no hesita
tion in saying that ho should nover bo
elected. Woro there any hopes of
this, we would speak much plainer j
but we simjdy want all good mon to
stop and inquire before casting their
ballot for this office.

For the first time In many years, an

eoivod from tho party. Other have
been repeatedly supported for ofllco
With base ingratitude thoy now turn
upon their boneactor and took lo
strike It down.
Professing lo bo political reformors,
thoy havo nominated a lickot, but
have taken no other step to correct what
they allege to be frauds in our nomina
tions, if they had been nominated,
all would havebeeu well. Their viows
would have been loudest o support ol
the ticket.
The party, through its dolegalot in
Convention assembled, have thrown
around our nominations evory safe
guard to provont mistakes in tho fu
ture What moro do these men aK r
Tbey teok their own election. That
accomplished, they are content. They
aro for nothing more than this.
Domouruts, this is not a question ol
men. It is a contest lor me existence
of your party in this county, and the
principles you advocate. Do not bo
deceived. Thoso mon hnvo stoppod
outside of our organization. Vi'liilo
we rosnect them, personally, they are
unworthy of your support.
J hoy havo invoked tho aid of tho
Republican organization. The Re

The Baroai.1 Concluded. Last
Wednesday night was the time, and
tho Court Room tho place, whore
Pulton k Fulford, ably assisted by
Judge McEnully, sold the Radical
paty out to the Modoo chicls. The
stipulations are that Pulton & Co.
must rote tho Modoo ticket straight
through, and if it is elected, thoy ure
lo havo a deputy .Sheriff and a deputy
Treasurer, and tho county funds arc
lo bo kept in the First National Bank
of Curwensville, and next full tho Mo
docs must voto the ticket fixed by
Pulton k Co., whelhor tho present
tickot it elected or not. Treason,
treachery and spoilt ore just what
these fellows aro after. Was there
over a more systematic "ring" combi
nation f And yet, these mon havo
tho impudonco to bowl ''ring,'
"clique," etc. The devil seldom
troubles such fully dovolopod hypo
crites, from the fact that they aro
scaled and dedicated to his service.
It is unnecessary for ut to spend
any lime to tell oar readers who Dr.
Boyor it ; becauso, he is personally
known to two-thirds of our citizens.
A prominent Republican, in a private
letter to us, remarks: "I have had
business in Harrisburg, during the
sitting of the Assembly, for at least
fifteen years; yet, during all that
limo, Dr. Boyor is tbo only man from
this district who invited mo to his
room, while a member of tho House."
That of itself stamps bis character us
a legislator, und would bo well enough
"to copy," at printors would say.
Meeting Numuer Two Tho Cur

on Wednesday evening last, and aftor
Fulford, Murray nnd Patton eulogized
Mackcy and Gordon, the Radical nom
inees for Slato offiuors, as such, thcy
dcemed it inexpedient to nominato a
county lickot. In other words, they
endorsed the New Washington ring
tickot. Putton, Hemphill and Ful
ford aro therefore politically inter

What a brood of roformers tbey will
hatch.
Pbosi-erous Times. The suspension
of the government pel banks, Jay
Cook k Co., and their confederates
throughout tho country, causos all the
"toil" stumpers and statesmen lo von
tiluto themselves on our unbounded
prosperity. They any tho country
was noverso prosperous beforo. Then
why not huve another and a moro ox
tened suspension in a short time, and
make us still moro prosperous 7
Still more Prosperity. Tbo Phil

"Four hundred nnd fiftoon more

men laid off this wock, or two-thirds
of the whole force of the establish

wo are, anyhow.
Dr. Boyor it ono ol Iho live mem

sending him to Harrisburg, the citi

t'uttlo, McKicrnan, Ogtlcn, Miller,
Coutricl, lest and a number of other
delegates, the question was taken by
calling tho yeas nnd nays on Mr. Wal
lace's preposition, und resulted, yeas,
54 ; nays, 10. Tho motion as amend
ed was then adopted.
Mr. Krhard, Ihon in effect, renewed
a part of dipt. Ogdcn't proposition :
yfesoeset, That the ameudod rulea be submit
ted to a vote of Democrats at the next December
election, togotber with tbe Crawford System.
AfLer debating tho resolution for
soiiio time, tho yuas and nays wore
demanded on tho resolution, and re
sulted, yeas, 17 ; nays, 55.
Tho lollowing resolution was then
offered by I. Test, and adopted :
t'esofeeW, That tho Convention meet on tbe
Tuesday following tbe left Saturday of May, at
4 o'clock, p. b ., in Clearfield borough.
Arsefred, That the Bamee of all tbe oandidatee
for office, must be announced at least, three weeks
previous to the time of holding the primary
election.
At this point, Senator 'Wallace was
culled out and made a very sharp
speech, followed by lion. John II. Or
vis, ol Ccntro county, who, with bis
ueuul ability, mado a full statement
in rcferenco to the workings of tho
rules adopted by the convention for
tho future regulation of our party af
fuirs in this county. After which the
convention adjourned.
Dr. 1'otter. While Savage and
Wiso aver that they wore cheated out
of tho nomination, Dr. Bolter unhesi
tatingly says he was not cheated and
that Dr. Boycr had legal votos enough
to bent him. Ho therefore places him
self in a moro ridiculous position than
any of tho other Modoo candidates,
and muni be running merely for the
fun of tho thing. Tho doctor hat our
sympathy; but, like tho buck sheep
story, bo has got into bad company
and wo cannot follow him.
. Cold Comfort. The World says
Among the resolutions adopted by
tho National Itepublicun Convention
in 1872 was one pointing with pride
to tho support given by the party to
tho 1 uciflo liuilroad oulerpiso, and as
suming that support to be worthy ol
spcciul admiration. Jt also declared
that tht Pncitio ltuilroad and similar
vast enterprises havo boon reiiorously
aided ami successfully conducted.
1 he developments winch have lollowed
show just how they wcro aided and
oondut-tod. The liepnblican leaders
in Congress have voted away the pub-
I to money, and tho ring in the milroud
have refunded a largo share of it to
thene very Congressmen. And now
comes the rumor of a like division on
tho pnrt of the western division ofthe
1'nclio road. Thoso enterprises were
generally aidod by tho Koouhlicnn",
who in turn received a generous share
ol tho aid. J bey have suceesefully
oonducted a large amount of funds into
tho pockets ol tho JCopuhlican states
mon, besides furnishing a corruption
fund to elect United Suites Senators
snd Congressmen. Thore are good
reasons, solid reasons, groenbaoked
reasons, and coupon reasons for the
Ueptiulicant to declare that thoso on
terpriset have been successfully con
ducted.
The BoRnFRs.-The Philadelphia
Prr.it snys : It is said that at tho time
of the failure ot tho First National
Hank of Washington ex-President
Johnson had 800,000 in it to his credit,
on which ho was receiving six per
cent, interest, which was his only
revenue. Should tho bank bo unable
to (lisuhsi-L'O its obligations tho ex
President will bo nlmost ponniloss.
Another csso which will cxcito sym
pathy Is thut of Mrs. John 0. Wilson
whoso husband, a member of Congress
elect Irom Urotron.roeontly diort. Mr.
Wilnon had SI, 000 on deposit in tho
bank when he died, and arrangements
wore making by Judge M illmms and
Sonnlor Kelly to obtain the monoy for
tho widow, who is wholly without
moans, and is now touching school to
support her family. Still this same
tress remarks thut this nation can
nover componsitto Jay Cooke for hit
patriotism during the war. Wo sup
pose if he does rob half the widows
and orphans of tho war, it will bo all
right, becauso he was "Inil."

1 hit has been a vory bad year lor that,
kind of chi'istinns,
iHlling and Appropriate.
The indorsement of Senator Illnplo
by the Itopublican convention of Ore
gon, moots the pretty noarly unatii
inoui approval of tho ltepublicao prest,
who consider tho resolution which
passed that body as very fitting and
appropriate. Ho do we. Sonutor Hip
pie has changed bit name without
legal authority, it it truo, but half of
Oregon hat done the tame. 11 is con
sidered impolite out in any of iIiobo
now states to ask a man what was hit
nume in tho cant. Sonntor Hippie
desortcd his wile and children in
Pennsylvania, whon ho wont west and
left hit finanoial affairs in rathor a
mixod state. Hut again bulf of 0
quarter of the Orcgouians aro popu
larly tupposod to have dono tbo sumo
thing. One of the best and most re
liable sources of immigration to the
now states oonsislt in the absconding
of husbands, and it would bo exceed
ingly impolitic for new stato mon to
stop up this source of supply by harsh
and discouraging reflections. Hon.
Mr. Hipplo teems to have committed
bigamy, but thon a good portion of
the men ol Oregon have done thut too.
Though publio opinion thore docs not
exactly justify bigamy, yot It regards
it leniently. To deeert tbo wife of
one's youth and marry a western elope
girl to raise up a fumily wilb, It to
oxporience ono of those youthful "mis
fortunes, faults, or shortcomings,"
which ought not to prejudico people
against a man's character in after life.
Such being the stale popular feeling
in Oregon, it is only "Siting and ap
propriate" that Sonator Milchol Hip
pie should not bo condemned for mere
ly doing what other people do. To
condemn him would impliedly con
demn too muny other citizens of Oro
gon, and therefore the Republican
convention would not dare to do it.
The Buimi.t Burst. Jay Cooke &
Co., have failed, cut ry ing with thorn a
number of smaller firms. The history
of a great lund speculation is tho his
tory in Iho great majority of cases oi
gas bag fortunes and disastrous col
lapses. The sad part of the story in
rel'erenoo to the iuiluro of the head
and front of tho North Pacific railroad
enterprise is, tbat aided by tho influ-
ccce ol preachers, christian statesmen,
und similar shurks, who win the con
fidence of trusting people only to oe-
tray nnd ruin, Jay Cooke A Co. have
induced thousands ot tamilios to en
trust about all their worldly wealth to
their koeping, who will now find them
selves penniless. Many thousands
havo also listened to the plausible lies
told by hiroling decoys, who sorlcd
"i(ev. belore their names, and cx
ponded their ull in moving their fami
lies into northorn wildernesses only to
find themselves the holpless victims of
a needy corporation, duo millions
upon millions of bard earned dollars

The colored citizens of Summit county
Ohio, havo aeked tho Stale Constitu
tional Convention to abolish the word
"negro" from tho Knclish language
at least lo prohibit it from being used
in publio documents and school hooks.
This it childish. The word is a good
and necessary word, and is no moro
discreditable than "colored or Atri-
can, noithcr of which is so definite or
correct. Ihe blacks are just as much
black as tho Whiles aro white ono
color it as good at another, but to

ent stato of affairs, it is oflen neces
sary to discriminate hot ween them.

From tho Peoria Review: "in a vig
orous chase after rats, Friday after
noon, a boy on Jefferson street broko
down a shelf in the cellar and immo
lated six jars of preserves. Ho guzod
on tbo ruins without a sigh, caught
and killod the rat, laid it among the
debris, and daubing bis faithful dog's

him up stairs, whilo tho boy hid in
