The re. publicans elected their delegates to the national convention and laine cap- tured the entire lot.

Mr. Fortney is one of Bellefonte’s able attorneys, al. ways was an active and enthusiastic democrat and no doubt could represent | this county in the legislative halls at Harrisburg with dignity and grace. - Tue war talk and present difficulty with Chili is looked upon as political buncombe on the part of Harrison and his political advisors.

Editorial Association SENATOR Quays libel suit against the Beaver, Pa., Star for printing cer- tain cuts of a check during the last campaign, came up for trial on Monday, at that place. The same matter was printed in nearly every democratic paper in the state and our readers, no doubt remember it. The case excited consid. erable interest but the result ean be predicted with a certainty. The jury has been packed to begin with, as there is but one known democrat among the lot, the other eleven are all active re- publicans, Would they go back on Quay? Well, not very likely, - “> — Tue Lottery Sheet (alias the Gazette), since it has lost its grip on the influen. tial element of the republican party in this county, It is trying to insinuate itself upon the other mde—the demd. cratic party, and attempts to suggest whom it would be advisable to nomi. nate. In the first place, there is enough brains and common sense in the demo- cratic party of this county to make up its own ticket. In the second place, the mutterings of Fiedler and the Lot tery Sheet (Gazette), stand in bad repute and his suggestions will do more to in- jure the prospects of any man than to advance him in the party, Theendorse- ment of the Lottery Sheet is a death knell to the aspirations of any democrat in this county, $1.50 per year, | President | Itis| THE REPUBLICAN NAVY.

The Wales bears ber first bereavement with greater fortitude than the Prince whose quiet and haggard ance, when he appeared at a dow and looked upon the fs grounds in which he had seen his ily grow up about him, was more quent of his bereavement than would have been.
