how short and handy are all the names

Hoxruilk! It appears that lioturn

Sherman in n startling way. IIo charg
es him with urging Wobbcr to commit
frauds in Kast Feliciana and aflorwards
procuring his murder, ll looks as if
John has been trifling with a bomb

The crises," is what tho liadical
leaders term the approaching investi
gation ol tho Presidential frauds. The
sentiment was properly soloctod. It
will be such a "crises" that will bring
rogues to tho surlace and many of those
now seated in pleasant places will be
disgraced and sent adrift.

The Ilarrisburg Fatrint makes return
of the following "straws," etc. :
The Lewisburg Chronicle, tbo Re
publican organ at the homo ol Senator
Dill, refuses to hoist the name of Col.
Hoyt for Governor.
The Huntingdon Journal (Republi
can) it fearful that J. Simpson Africa
will carry that county and pull the
Democratio local ticket through.
Resiuned. As soon as Mr. Dill rej
turned to Ilarrisburg after his nomina
tion for Governor by the Pittsburg con
vention, be resigned his seat in the
Stato Sonate. lie was olected in 1876
for four years, and bis torm would ex
pire with tho session of 188A. Mr. Dill
would have been justified by procodent
in retaining his office, but bis prompt
resignation was the proper step for him
to take, and will be remembered to bis
credit.
The Eastern War. The battlefields
of Turkey, having been turned into
fields of diplomacy by the interferences
of England and othor European pow
ers, in the war botwoen Russia and
Turkey, we bavo paid but little atten
tion to the question recently. Tbe
treaty entered into between the two
belligerents at Santa Stafano in Janu
ary last, by which Russia and Turkey
combined against thebalanco of Europe,
is bound to be wiped out and new
treaties enlorcd into, sanctioned by the
other powers of Europe. Tbo attemrlt
on the part of Russia to make the riv
er Danube Its southern boundary, bas
been frustrated by England and Aus
tria, and thoy have driven the two
powers so far that they have lor tho
aeoond .time consented to meet in a
European Congress in Berlin, where
U the controversies of the war are to

Thorough investigation in to tho electoral frauds
of IsTS should be made; fraud should be expos
ed, trutb vindicated and eritninals punished ; but
we oppose any attack opon tho Presidential title
as dangerous to our institutions and fruitless in
Its results.
The Republican party, centrblling the legisla
tion of the 8Ute, has refused to exeoute many of
tho reforms of the new Constitution t among
other things It has neglected aod refused to com
pel Ibe acceptance of all its previsions hy the
corporations of the State; to prevent undue and
unreasonable discrimination in charges for the
transportation of freight and passengers, aod
without abatement or drawback to any to give
to all equal means for transporting the raw ma
terial ot Ihe State in lueb manner aod to such
points as they may prefer; and to publish In

Tho Republican party creates Qw offices and
adds enormous perquisites to others, and fills
them with favorites whose chief duty is to man
age Its politioal machinery. Its ndmiulstration
ol the rotate govertimrnt grows more expensive
with each year ot Its rule. Legislation has been
dirtoled bv Republican lobbyists, who ia tarn
manipulate anal control the nomination, of Ihe
Republican party, and its candidates are the cre
ation of a junta, whose decrees are aocaptod ai
the irreversible mandates ef absolute hereditary
power. We denounce tbesemelbods, these meas
ures nad these men as unworthy Ibe support of
an bonesl and a tree people, and we invite all,
ot every shade of political opinion, tn unite witn
us in delivering the Commonwealth from their
hateful rule.
The resolutions were ununim.usly
adopted.
Promiscuous Gatiierinh. A Con
vention of Prohibitionists, Murphyitos,
Local 0) tionists, etc, male and lemale,
met in Alloona, on Wednesday last,
and put ticket So. 4 into tbo field.
Captain Dowler, of Bumsido, and T.
Ronton Dill ley were scored as the dele
gates from Clearfield county. Little
Blair had ten delegates, four of whom
were Hon. Archibald McCallixter, Mrs.
MeC, Miss Ida McC, and Miss Sallio
McC. Cambria turned out a good
flock too, among them Hon. A. A.
Barkor, V. S. Barker and Miss E. V.
Barker. These, two families wore the
"heavy weights" in tho Convention,
from tho Inct that tho fathers at one
time were both Congressmen, and they
havo tried various ways to got back
again, but it looks bluer now than
over, since they have cut loose Irom
tho parties to which tbey belonged,
and mounted the hobby-horso which
they are riding to death. Tba resolu
tions adopted allude to everything,
female suffrage in particular, but settle
nothing. All tho chief leaders in tho,.
movement were broken down political
hacks belonging to both parties, and,
of course, ready for improvements in
religion, morals, political economy, etc.,
but being as weak in the flesh as tho
balance of tbo race, it is very doubtful
whether they will commit many ro
lorms during the present perverse gen
eration. Tho nomineo for Governor,
P. II. Lane, of Huntingdon, is a fraud ;
Judgo Agnew is an ornament, hut tho
other two, Shallcross and Parsons, wo
know nothing about.
A Trie State or the Case, Tbe
people of Pennsylvania adopted the
constitution by a majority ol more
than fifty thousand votes. This elec
tion will determine whether tbey are
willing to defend their own offspring
or wbothor tbey will give it over for
violation to the barpioa of tbe lobby
The issue is very simple. On tho one
sido aro tho friends of the Constitution
with one ol its ablest defondcra in Sen
ator Dill for their standard bearer.
On the other aro the enemies of the
Constitution with Honry M. Hoyt as
tho candidate of their choice With
the oleclion of Andrew U. Dill the
provisions of tbe Constitution will be
carried into effect in good faith for tho
first time since its adoption. With
Henry M. Hoyt in tho office ot Gov
ernor, the warfaro of tho ring on the
Constitution will be maintained with
all its vlndictivcness.
On- por Brazil. The Philadelphia
Record says : "Throe hundred colored
laborers leave tho city of Washington
next week lor Brazil, to work for the
Messrs. Collins on tlie railroad tbey
are building, under the guarantee of
the Braiilian and Bolivian govern
ments. As tho doath-rale. of the negro
population of Washington is greater
than in any othor city of. tho country,
those laltorers may not find a change
to tho malarial regions near the equa
tor of any particular disadvantage."
Investigate. A writer in the St.
Louis Timet declare that the real par
ty aimed at by the Totter invostlga
tion is General Grant. The Demo
crats expect to show that the frauds
committed were within his knowledge
If this can be done it is supposed the
most formidable Republican candidate
for the Presidency in 1880 will be laid
npon the shelf.
Dill, Ross, Fertlff and Africa!
KLECTIXO FUTURE FBESl
The terrible strain upon our institu
tions caused by tho last Presidential
election, has awukoncd in the minds of
leading statesmen tho necessity of do
vising some measures to prevent the
recurrence of tho dangers that attend
ed the declaration of that clectorul
count, and (o provide against future
emergencies and complications grow
ing out of the election of Presidents.
Senator Eilitj.'.Js, Chairman of t,he
Senato Committee charged with tho
duty, bus reported a bill on the impor
tant subject, which admits the author
ity of every Stato to decide upon the
correctocs of its electoral volo. This
latter shall be decided by tribunals cre
atod by tho State, and in case of din
putes arising in the Electoral College,
Congress may havo power to investi
gate whether tbo tribunal appointed by
the Stato Is legal, and if it is, then its
decision shall be considered conclusive
and final. To give tiino for the full de
termination of such questions, the elec
tions shall be held one month earlier
than now, or in October instead of No
vember, while tbo meeting of the Elec
toral College shall not assemble until
the following January, ono month tut
or than at present, thus affording an
interval of three months for the cor
rection ol mistakes and a thorough
canvass ol the whole case. When a
single'return from a State is sent in, its
validity is not to bo questioned, nor can
It be rejected except by tho affirmative
vote of both tho Senate and the House
of Representatives. Should thotUcslion
ariso whether the propor Stale tribu
nal has decided upon tho legality of tho
electoral vote sent in, or in caso of du
plicate leturns, whother their respec
tive claims have been acted upon, then
the two Houses of Congress shall act
scpcratoly in tho matter, and only such
votes ho received as both havo agreed
upon. These aro tho essential features
of the bill, although it contains a num.
berol othor regulations chiefly relating
to tho manner in which the joint meet
ing of both Houses shall bo conducted.
JriiiiR Roh. The Hometown l)e
fender, published ttt the homo of our
nomineo for Supreme Judge, in allud
ing to the ticket, thus refers to Judge
Ross : "Our satistiction is heightened
by emotions of prido not exultant,
but honest pride in the reflection that
the choice of tho Convention has fall
en upon Judgo Ross, of our own homo,
for tho office ol Supreme Judgo. No
man beforo the Convention was better
qualified for a position of such meas
ureless importance or more entitled to
public confidence than Judgo Ross. A
profound thinker, a logical, analytic
and close reasoner, united with ripe
lugul learning, high literary culture
and an exquisite aenso of justice and
right, ho will bo an honor to the Su
premo Bench, and to which position
wo have the utmost confidence in his
triumphant election. His career as a
jurist is well known throughout the
State, as was testified by tho popular
vole he received on the first ballot, and
bis character as a citir.cn is without
reproach. In bis official career on the
bench in this and Bucks counties, dur
ing tho past nine years, he has sustain
ed an unspotted reputation ; against
tho purity of bis motives even envy
iteelf has never made a charge."
Hart Overboard. Tbo Cambria
Freeman says : "Quay was more suc
cessful in dealing with the lato model
Legislature than his friend and fellow
office seeker, Hart, who claimed when
he was a candidate for State Treasurer

byist. Through the treachery of Bus-
soy, a Democratio 8cnator, the BanW
Commissionership bill, Intended for
Hart's benefit, passed that body, but
after having past first and second read
ing in the llouso, and when it was on
its third reading (.wo days before the
adjournment, twenty Republican mem.
bcrs refused to face tbe music, voted
with the Democrats against it, and aa
a necessary consequence Wm. B. Hart,

and late cashior oi tho Slate Treasury,
won't ba Bank Commissonor undor ap
pointment by Hartranft, aided by Bus
scy's voto for conformation in the Sen
ate, as ho confidently expected to bo.
A Handsome Coupi.iiiENT. Tho ed
itor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, tbe
Democratic organ of tbe Buck-eye
State, in alluding to the proceedings of
tbe Pittsburg Convention, speaks to
Senator Wallaco in this way : "Tbe
ticket nominated is worthy and the plat
form unexpectedly good. The ticket
is understood to be and is the triumph
of Senator Wallaco, if any personal
triumph appeared in the result, but
there seems to have bocn nothing in
the contest to mar tho party unity.
Tho unassuming Senator, whose name
and face and charaotor, coiucido to toll
of the Scotch determination, Rooms to
havo been entirely triumphant among
the Democracy of the old Keystone
Stato. The victor is worthy of his vic
tory. He ia with tho foremost among
the Democrats of Pennsylvania in the
cause of the people, in the peoplo's'
great cause, and he deserves the confi
dence of the Democracy of his Stale to
a largo degree."
Altoona'i CoNCf.AYE The twenty
fifth annual conclave of the Grand
Commandory of the Knights Templar
of Pennsylvania, assembled at Altoona
on Tuesday, the 28th ult. Mayor Hurd
delivered an address of woloomo,
which was replied to by Grand Con
mander W. H. Egle, ol Ilarrisburg. A
large numbor of Knights were in at

.1 FRO FEB STEP.
. j n--r"i t - J. .i..-. -.
low days ago, presented a petition in
the I'nitcd States Henute, numerously
signed from naturalised citixens of
lihodu Island, asking for the adoption
of an amendment to tbo Ecderu) Con
stitution which would mako any dis
crimination against foreign born cill
ioiis in regard to th franchise impos
sible. In Rhode Island no foreign
born citisen can vote unless ho owns
real oslutu, while native born citizens
not owning real estate may vote upon
registering their names and paying a
poll tax of $1.00. Tho property quali
fication, though essentially unjust, and
un-American, is very convenient for
real estate owners; for, onco a man's
name is on record as holding reul es
tate of tho requisite value, he need
neither register nor pay a poll lax,
but. year after year has simply to walk
up and volo. But thu discrimination
belongs to an ago gone by, and should
bo abolished. Tho citixous of no Stale
bavo mado more fuss (for thu sir.o)
over "odious laws in other States," than
Rhode Island, and yet no other State
has a more intamous law upon its
statue books. Had the embargo been
entailed upon tbo negro, it would havo
been repealed long ago by the Stato
authorities.
A Goon I'l.tA.-The plea of Sitting Bull
that bis followers should be allowed to
retain their ponies and guns, because
"when we got into an agency we can
not gel enough to cat without them,"
is not unreasonable in view of the ex
perience of Indians with agonts of tho
Government. Rancid pork, spoiled
flour, rotton blankets and meagre hoof
have beon the tissual portion of the red
men and women who have intrusted
themselves lo tbo mercies of tho cor
morants oi the Indian ring. It is not
strange that Sitting Bull, while anx
ious to live in pcaco with thoso who
have robbed bis tribe of their domains,
should bargaiy for tbo gun and pony,
without which ho would bo a helpless
dependent upon a Government dolo.
IIo bos lived by tho chase since ho was
a child; tho fields and the prairjea have
been bis larder ; tho succulent buffalo
hump, the gumey antelope, and an oc
casional fat dog bis diet ; and he should
not be expected to confine himself sud
denly to greasy pork and bard tack.
Lot Sitting Bull keep bis gun and his
pony.
Tug Storm Kino A ternfio storm
passed over Richmond, Mo., on last!
Saturday afternoon, lovcling to the
d, ,,. ., , ., ,. .
over bait of the buildings in
the town.
Over Ono hundred bouses
were totally destroyed, and tbo loss on
property will reach 1250,000. Whole
blocks wcro oompletoly swept away,
and the debris was scattered for miles.
The storm tamo from the southweet,
passed to the northeast and was pre
ceded by a heavy fall of rain. Trees
wcro uprooted and carried through
the air liko feathers, as were tho frag
ments of houses, and in fact everything
the storm struck. Tho Shaw llouso,
a large brick hotel, was demolished
and its inmates buried in tho ruins.
From twenty to thirty persons were
killed and many wounded. Horses
and stock of all kinds were swept off
the earth like grass. A train load of
citizens from Lexington have arrived
to render aid, and physicians from all
surrounding towns have boon sum
moned to give medical attendance to
the wounded. Patrols have been de
tailed to guard the town.
A TiiUMntRlKn Report. Congress

of tho Presidential fraud, has address

sons for the examination, Ono clause
of his lettor reads this way i

there is nothing the next time to prevent

No page in tbe Biblo has more nak
ed truths strung together than aro to
bo lound in this paragraph. And yet,
tho Radicals bowl revolution I
Cuandler on Hand. Senator
Uowe'a attack on Hayes bas brought
Zacb Chandler nut ol tho Michigan
woods. He has turned up in Wash
ington with a now assortment of oaths,
which he drops as bo passes along
Pennsyvania Avenue between tho
White Uonso, and tbe Capital. The
Washington Fori in alluding to him
says :
"Tbe venerable Keehariab Chandler il said to
have brought with him to Washlogton several
qaalnt and ewrlous forma ef profanity of hil own
invention during bli lata respite from the active
cares ef oflioe. It Is also said that one of bia oaths
Is liable te be nfteea minutes in passing n given
peiat."
This Chandler was tho Chairman ol
tho Radical oommitteo in 1870, but
Hayes' Southern policy banished him
to the Northwest snd be now assumes
the role of tbe ground hog by coming
out of his holo, to see bow Howe and
Hayes are going to make it.
Exactly so. The editor of tin
Bellofonle ll'iid-Amim crucifies the Had
ical growlers in this way: "If Senator
Wallace ran the Pittsburg Convention
as the Radical papers allogo he did,
the Democracy of the Slate have only
Ibis to say : that they are thankful to
him for giving them to strong a plat
form and so popular a ticket, and that
be Is deserving of all praise lor having
the wishes of tho Demqerutlo massos
faithfully and harmoniously executed.
If our Radical friondsare right, It only
prove Mr. Wallaco' fitness for the
leadership they accord him, and that
the confidence reposod in bim by the
Democracy cf the Stato is neither mis
placed or misused."
A Conundrum. There ip not a bulk
in tbe United Stato navy that was

A itoYAL victim. Tho Emperor
William, while taking a rido in his
carriage on Saturday afternoon, was
attacked by an assassin named I)i
isoMiing, vriio hrcil twice with a
double-barreled gun. The Einpnror
received about thirty small shot in the
face, head, both arms, and back, but
by about six o'clock this evening his
general condition hud already improved
in a satisfactory manner. An immense
crowd from all parts ot the i-ity
thronged Into the avenue I'ntor den
Linden on the news becoming known.
Tho assassin is Karl Edward Nobcling,
aged 32 years. Us is a resident of
Berlin, a doctor of philology, an agri
culturist, and habitue of Democratic
Socialistic clubs. A quantity of arms
was found in his apartments. He con
fessed the crime, but obstinately refused
to state bis nativity. He is at the hos
pital station of Ihe Malkon market
police district, attended by his mother
and daughters. This is the second at
tempt that bas been made on tho
Emperor's life within three months.

n Appalmno Disaster. The
British Channel between Calais and
Dover was tho theatre of the last hor
ror. Un tbo J 1st ult., two German
steamers ran into oath othor, having
on board over 800 porsons. As may
be imagined, tbo details of tbo disaster
are most horrifying. The colliding
vessels wore tbe Kaiser and the Gross
er Knrfurst. Tbo weather at tbe time
of the disaster was fine and calm, end
what led to the oollision Is a mystery.
Both vessels were undor lull hood way
when tbe Kaiser Wilhelm ran into tbe
Grosser Kurfurst. The shock was ter
rific, the latter vessel Ailing with water
and sinking within Ave minutes aftor
the collision. To add to the horrors of
the situation, tbo boiler ol the vessel
exploded, scattering death and destruc
tion in every direction. From all re
ports received, It is believed that noarly
four hundred persons lot their Ijvc
hy tbo disaster,
"flpeaher Randall's defeat at the conTenlicn baa

There are thoee who go so far as to predict that

and the reel of the elate." Mif.aMa.il AW

There i not aapeckaof truth iu this
Washington dispatch. We know tho
reverse to bo true. When a remark lo
that effect was made in the Senator's
presence, ho replied, "nothing ol that ;
wo have a campaign on hand that
must bo pushed with vigor against the
enemy, and Randall must be let alone,
wo need bim in Congress, although he
had no business at Pittsburg." The
"war" indicated by the journal in ques
tion, is a bit of imagination on tho part
of the author.

ANII OPINION or UAVES' TITLE.
from tbe Philadelphia Times
Judge Biack wasalthuGirard bouae
recently.
"1 am ahy of you newspaper people,
but protmbly you have soma right to
think that (iiiie-ht talk on an occasion
so interesting a Iho present, when tho
Democracy of the old Stale is ubout
beginning a new struggle.
"Mr. Dill,' continued b, "is a per
fectly good nomination for Governor,
lie is u man of tine talents, remarkable
prudence, pure inorul and great politi
cal integrity. He comes from the
neighborhood of Simon Snyder, and I
hope if eloctcd that he will walk in the
footsteps of that great magistrate of
the ancient time. You ask what Sim
on Snyder did to make bia name illus
trious. 1 answer in tho words of a
Kentuckian who wanted to nominate
Nhunk lor president (Sliunk was very
much liko Snyder) : 'Ho armed the
state against the enemies ot the conn
try, vetoed the banks and gave tbe cor
porations hell.' I believe Mill will turn
out lo be as good as either of then. But
the great business now on band is to
put bim in, and that 1 confidently ex
pect wo will do very handsomly. Your
suggestion that I might dislike Dill's
nomination because Wallace favored
him and Randall . opposed him has
nothing in it. 11 there be a dispute,
personal or factional, between those
gentlemen, I don't know its merits. HI
Mr, Wallaco has won a victory let
bim wear his laurels and be satisfied,
and as to Mr. Randall you may rest as
sured that a man who tills, and worth
ily fills, so largo a space in the eye of
the nation is not seriously injured by
being outvoted in a state convontiou.
However that may be, we all know
that Dili is neither Wallace nor Ran
dall. As tbe nominee of the party he
is equally entitled to the respect, con
fidenco and support of both."
Judge Black then spoke in biirb terms
of the Democratic nominee for judge of i
llio supreme i ourt, Hut It was evident
that he felt great personal respect
perhapa it should be called wurm ad
miration for Judgo Slerrett- Ho gave
Mr. Fertig an enthusiastic indorse
ment, and there seemed to be some old
recollection ot Mr. Africa that quite
stirred him. On the whole he was not
merely satisfied, indeed thoroughly
pleased with the work ol the conven
tion. He did not speak very freely of the
investigation going on at Washington
into the frauds of 1870. It was easy
to see that he was under soma restraint
in this part of his chat, arising, perhaps,
out of a past or present professional
connection with the subject.
"I have no stock in the prospects of
turning out Hayes by quo warranto.
No doubt Hayes got tbe Presidency by
means ot a fraud. But hu got it and
bas il it was conceded to bim by the
House of Representatives, which ought
to hare withheld it Irom him. Posseaiion
under such circumstances is title to
every legal intent and purHmo. Mr.
Ilayes is rrestuenl lor lour years un
less hid term shall be abridged by im-
peacliniont, resignation or death.
"tan he bo impeached for tho Iraud
practiced to elect bim. ? Certainly not.
But if there was a fraud to w Inch ho
consented or tor which be bargained
beforehand and aftor be got into pow
cr he rewarded tho guilt of tho rascals
by giving them otllces, he is impeacha
ble lor that. So also is any subordi
nate officer wbo did tho same thing.
That a Irattd stupendous, shocking and
outrageous was perpetrated in Louisi
ana and Florida is beyond denial. It
has been already proved many times,
in a thousand ways and by clouds oi
witnesses. Tbe pending Investigation
can only bring out some particulars
showing by whom it was instigated
and paid tor. 1 hope tud beliove that
Mr. ilayes bad nothing lo da with it.
But certain 'visiting etatosmen' may
have gone down there and committed
the crime, using tho state officers as
mere instruments who did thoir corrupt
work on a contract. If one of tboso
visiting men became Secretary of the
Treasury aftorwards end carried out
the filthy bargain by rewarding tbe
criminals, then there is no law or jus
tice either ibat can save bim Irom im
peachment. An example ia needed. I
think the houso ought to have proceed
ed dislipctly and expressly on this
ground and moved to this objective
point, giving Mr. Sherman either a
clean vindication or a just condemna
tion alter a fair bearing. As it is the
investigation seem to De aimless. 1 be
mill is going, to be sure, but there is
nothing in the hopper that can be le
gally pounded."

Argus. Will tbe Democratio majority.

tbe election 1 Not at all. The limo
for them to have violontly disturbed
the macbinstora wbo overthrow the
republio In wbicb tho will of the peo
ple was Ihe law of the land, waa when
Hayes was inaugurated amid tbe re
strained anger of an outraged people.
Will the Republican minority? With
what decency can thev nrovoke din
order at the exposure of the crimes of
Hayes and hia ogonta? Are they pre
pared to indulge in lawless acts ? True,
they lawlessly supplanted Tilden. Are
they willing to go further, and invoko
disorder by tumultuous opposition to
retribution for tboir crimes f The groat
mass of the people, in both parties.will
frown down any such rebellious hos
tility to the lawful exercises of the
power of Congress. Although Gen.
Grant was elected in 1869 without the
vote ol Now York, yet Republican in
Congress in 1869 passed a resolution
for the appointment of a committee to
investigate the frauds in New York
city, and the excuse thoy gave was,
"that it was necessary to expose the
frauds for fear they might be practiced
In the future in the election of a Pres
idont." Tbe Butler Herald says if it
was ncocssary to do so in I860, why
not now, especially when every reason
able man knows there wore frauds com
mitted in Florida and Louisiana. It
will be seen also, that Republican in
I860 made a precedent lor Democrat
to follow in 1878,' nd, therefore, tbey
ought not to complain.
A Correct View. From an ex
change we glean tbe following fact
and figure, which do not present
very hopeful view to those Republicans
who think that tbe onwrd march of I
tbe Democratic party to complete con
trol of this country can be stopped or
stayed.' If they revert to the political
record since 18U6, thoy will be remind
ed that in that year they bad 27 major
ity in the Senate ; in 1869 they had 52,
la 1871, 50;, In 1873, 30; in 1876, 10,
and now tfcsy have but 2 ; and are sure
to be In minority noxt year. Of the
five euocessor already elected, two are
Democrats, and of the fourteen Repub
lican Senator whose successors are
still to be chosen, six are certain to be
Democrats, and the other are in
doubt. Tbe Senate, after the 14 lb of
Marco next, is certain to be Democrat
io by at least (en majority. Their
prospects lor regaining control of the
uouso are not very bright, Fifty
three seats n tbe House are held by
majorities of loo thsn on thousand,
and ot tbesv thirty four are Republi
can and nineteen are Democrat, and
ot thoee wbo went in by less thsn five
hundred majority, sixteen are Demo
crats ana nineteen are ltepublicsns.

ALL RIGHT
Tbe Lancaster Intelligencer ably re
marks: Persons wbo find it noccsyary
to define their own position regarding
tbo impending politicul campaign in i
this State, need have no uncertainty,
and have no occasion to give currency i
to any misapprehension, regarding tho
attitude of thu Intelligencer. Having!
never skulked in its lout nor remained j
for a moment indifferent to tho issue 1
of a struggle of the Democratic party
with its opponents, our readers know
that the Intelligencer and its editors will
be found where they hare always been
found, in the forefront of the battle,
and striving to plant tbo victorious
Democratic standard on the ramparts
of the enemy. In ibis causo il wel
comes tho aid of its old companions-inarms
as well as of thoee who, having
bocn long indifferent to the result, and
slragglers in tho rear, are now inspired
with tho enthusiasm ol tho hour to
lend thoir aid in achieving Democratic
victory.
Mr. Dill has been in the receipt of
continuing ovation from bis friends
and neighbor at home since his nom
ination, and tho words of solid sense
which he speaks to thoee who assem
ble to do him honor, fulfill tho expecta
tions of all who pressed his nomination,
and realize the full mcasuro of Demo;
cratic demands everywhere. The en
thusiasm created by tbo local demon
strations spreads to every quarter of
tno commonwealth, ana there is but
one echo in the call lor a vigorous,
uncompromising prosecution of the
campaign.
The high praise of Mr. Buckalow re
garding the Democratic candidate, is
fitly met by Judge Black' emphatic
declaration that ' Mr. Dill ia a perfectly
good nomination for Governor. IIo is
a man of fine talents, remarkablo pru
dence, pure morals and great political
integrity." More than this can be
neither said nor asked of any man who
is named for political honors, and it
could not come from sources ot greater
authority, nor that will command more
respect than Messrs. Bnckalew and
Black.
Exactly Khibt. Somo of our Dem
ocratio Tempcranco advocates aro of
fended because tho Altoona Conven
tion failed to put a Democrat on the
tickot. Tho four nominees, Lane, Ag
now, Parsons and Shallcross, are all
Radicals. That, in our judgment, is
right, bocauso all tho Democratic nom
inees are temperance advocates, hence
no Democrat need go elsewhere to voto
for a temperance man this full.
The Democratio or "Confederate"
