Weight in - deciding whp the candidate
shall be. In thus insisting upon the
equitable arrangement which has
been approved by the voters of both
counties, Bradford has no desire to
overshadow or ignore the true and
plucky Republicans of Wyoming
On a proiktr occasion, there would be
a disposition to make Concessions to

for Wyoming to set up claims which
she has herself, through her represen

TUE NOUSTEE VOU t,ILDEGMEIBII.,
The protracted conferences for the
purpose of nominating - a candidate
for Congressman, have been happily
and satisfactorily ended , by the selec
tion of. C. C. JADWIN, of Wayne
county. We, havt ,at no time been
under apprehensions of , difficulty,
notwithstanding the
, delay in adjust
ing the matter, because the candi
dates presented Were entirely satis
factory as to their" character and
availibility, and we had/ never
doubt but,. that in due time a conclui
sion would be reached. 'lt was - not
unreasonable that each county should
have its faVorite; that it should press
the 'claims of locality with zeal and
pertinacity; and it was also.e.erfain
that each county had also put for
ward.its peat man, any One of whom
would be an acceptable candidate.
So far as Rradford county was
concerned; there was but one voice
in nominating Col.. OVERTON. He
.
has proved himself a useful and.re
liable member during the years he
has represented the district.- It was,
felt that the experience gained would
make him of more service than a
new man could poisibly be, and that
in urging his
. re-electien the best in
terests of the people of the district
would be subseryid.
Mr: JADWIN, the of the ccin
terence, is entitled to, and will re
ceive the full vote of the Republicans
of Bradfoi.d. is' an 'active en•
ergetic buSinesa man ; was warmly
supported I>y tlie 7 ,best men of Wayne
county, and will poll la vote largely
in excess of thejtepublican strength.
If the voice of his neighbors has any
valuel the - endorsement they give
him ie highly. creditable. He is a .
sound and reliable Republican, and.
has borne a prominent. part in' up
holding the banner of the - party
under adverse circumstances. The

CORNELIUS 41, SABRES.
We take the following brief history
of our, eandidate for Congress from
the CarbUndale Advance of Abe 16th
instant:
In the Fifteenth District Congressional
Conference, O. C. Jadwin, of Wayne
county, has been nominated on the'three
'hundred and third ballot, by. a vote of
eleven to five. Bradford, Wyoming and
Wayne counties voted for him. The
nomination was then made . unanimous.
We congratulate the Wayne Republicans
that their patience has at last been ,
warded. .
The district lin composed of the four
counties of -Bradford, Wyoming, Susque
hanna and Wayne. Each county had a
candidate, to which the conferees adhered
with great tenuity. The first meeting
of the conferenoe was held at Hontroee.
as we have; before stated, whence after
balloting ineffectually for two days. they
adionrned to Scranton. • After a similar
Session at the latter plains, they again ad
lourned to ; meet-on Monday evening. of
tbis week .M Stusquebanna.: The }saint ,
Was readied there on Wads:sudsy after
noon, and should give perfect satisfaction
/throughout the district. '
Mr.. Tadwin is a native of this city, and
here spent his boyhood ardearly -youth.
He is in the beat sense of ` the term a
self-made man. The son of a poor me
chanic, his youth was passed in a constant
struggle against adverse surroundings.
At an early day be exhibited the quali
ties which have since made him successful
in life.' Descended on his father's aide
from one of the oldest 'Maryland families,
and from a Puritan ancestry on the ma
ternal Side, he/combines in a remarkable
degree the iinpulsive, generous and chiv
alrous features of the bed type of South
ern character, with the energy, steadiness
and thormigh-going business.c.haracteris
tics of the New Englander. Before enter
ing his ",teens" he had become self-sup
porting.: At the age of eighteen be was
teaching school t and he;was the seventh
teacher in Lucerne county who received a
professional certificate of the highest
grade. His leisure was devoted to self=
culture, and he was soon distinguished
among the best mathematiisiane b and gram
marians in the county. ' •
' At the age of twenty-two he entered
the service of ,the L . & H. C. Co. as civil
engineer ; following the profession - for.,
three years, and for one year acting as'
mining engineer. He next became inter , eated in a colliery'at Archualdi in this
county, but in consequence of a strike
among the miners, the
. basiness was-not
successful. / The , ability which he mani
fested in various forms attracted the at
tention of 14 S. Pierce, the Well-known
banker, and led to a proposition by Mr.
Pierce to furnish the means for him to
study law, with a view to forming a busi
ness connection at Scranton after his ad
missiOn to the bar. Mr. Jadwin, however,
had determined on an enterprise in a dif
ferent direction, and in 1862 he purchased
a large drug and chemical manufacturing
establishment in Honesdale. Under his
management the'husiness rapidly increas
ed, and is now one.or ; the largest of the
kind in Northern Pennsylvania.
Since reaching manhood, M. Jadwin
has Igiven much attention to political
questions, and he has for many years been
prominent as 'a working Republican..
When he first interested himself in the
politics of Wayne county, thq Democratic
majority then was' nearly a thousand. He
took a leading part from year to year in
the campaign, which has resulted in de
veloping Republican strength and disin- .
tegrating the Democrats of: his county.
He was chairman of the Republican Coun
ty Committee when the party gained its
.first success. . •-• • ,
In 1870 the Republicans . elected the
Sheriff and Treasurer; and in the follow-
ing year, an Associate Judge Visa added
to the list of Republican officials. Since
that time the Democratic majority. in
Wayne county has been'an uncertain and
frequently a negative quantity.. ' and to
day the President Judge, both Associate
Judges, the Sheri ff , the District Attorney,
the Register and Rec Order, two of the
three Commissioners, and two of the
three Auditors, together with one of the
two Representatives, are Republicans.
Jadwin has at all times aidt.d in the
improvement of local institutions. He
has been three times elected a 801001 di-
rector and baa been largely instrumental
in bringing the Honesdale schools to their
present state of efficiency. . With the ex
ception of this position, we believe he bail
never held any office. In 1874 the nomi
nation for'State Senator was offered him,
but he declined it in faior of Mr. Watson,
of - Susquehanna _ count's' In 1876 he re
ceceived the nomination of his County
Convention for Congress, but in the Dis
trict Conference be finally withdrew. and
Colonel Overton, of Bradford comity, was
nominated, In • 1878 be declined to be a
Candidate, and his County Convention in
dorsed Col. Overton. This year he _has
again received the nomination'in bia own
county, and it has- been ratified. by the
district.
As a political student, Mr. Jadwin has
few superiors. No man probably in our
State understands more thoroughly the
history of parties, and the measures they
have respectively advocated and opposed.
None are more decided and earnest than.
he in upholding and advocating the great .
measures and cardinal and beneficent
principles Of the - Republican party. His •
nerninatiorr is not in accordance with the
senseless traditionary idea that Congress

and most useful members of Congress
have not been lawyers, audit is not at all,

THE great Victory of. Tuesday means
not only that the Republlkan party will
elect its Presidential ticket, but that. It
can again secure control - 'of the lower
House. of Congress, which was wrested
from it by the great Southern fraud six
yearaigo. The election in Oregon, which
is now- represented by a 'Democrat, re
sulted in the choice of a Republican; in
that of Vermont, a RepubliCan-National
was replaced by a straight Republican.
In Indiana the gain of three RePublican
Congressmen is assured. Ohio contributes
six additional Republican members to the
next House. The present Howie of Rep
resentatives is divided as follimrs : Re
publicans, 130; Dernocrn* 149, 4 Republi
can-Nationals, 5 ;__DenWitcratic-Nationals,
7 ; Nationals, . 2 ; the whole nini.her, 293,
making a majorityof the House 147. As
the Republican ;party does not want any
uncertain Support, the five Republican.
Natialialsnre left out of, consideration, so
that it:needs Seventeen votes to Make a

given them eight, and pet aps nine, of

"You have a tannery in this vicinity.-

skilled artisans in the bridge works to
see how-they are benefitted by a tariff of
twenty-eight dollars and upwards upini

gets). But (Or this duty on manufactur
