Democratic County Convention.
This great body met Tuesday, 20th
inst., at the Court House, in Ridgway,
pursuant to a call. The usual examina
tion of credentials being the first thing
in order was duly attended to, and the
discovery made that there were no con
tested seats, no double sets of delegates
to occupy time in convincing each other
of the purity of their Democracy, on
motion of Maj. Kretz, the convcution
proceeded to a permanent organization.
Several gentlemen by reason of extreme
modesty declined the honorof presidency
of the body. Finally James M'Lcllan of
Fox tp., concluded that he could bear
about with him the honors of the office,
and consented to act as president, and
Mr. Garner of St. Mary's, was appointed
Sect'y. Mr. Hall then announced to
the convention that another convention
was in session, who were with them in
sympathy, working for the same object
to wit: Stretching their arms and
"shaking hands across the bloody chasm"
with their Southern Rrethcrn in arms,
and were certain of a common victory,
and moved a committee of confidence to
confer with their Lib-Rep. friends.
The committee of confereiu-c was
appointed by the Chairman, and con
sisted of Messrs O. I. Grant, of Ridgway,
Maj. Kretz, of St. Mary's, and Julius
Jones, of Rcnezett, whereupon one of
the committee read the chairman a short
essay on parliamentary law to appoint
the mover to raise a committee chairman;
Mr. Hall however obviated all difficulty
by declining, so the committee stood aud
the convention took a recess for half an
hour, to allow the committee to do its
business and repot t.
At the espirati.'ii of the half hour the
president called the convention to order
to hear tho report of the committee ol
conference who reported that they had
performed the duly as.-tignod them and
found that the Lib's, asked for nothinsi
but to be identified as with, auJ being
a part of the Democratic party. To be
identified, is to be like, like in feeling,
iu word and in action, hence the Lib
Rep, and Pom's are one and the same
party. The report on iiutfnn of Mr.
Hall was received and adopted and the
committee discharged. Tho convention
then proceeded to nominate candidates
t'ir county olliees as follows, lor I'ro
thonotary, Fred. Schoening, Dem.
present incumbent, for county com
missioner George K. Wcis, Dcm. and
then come the farce; the Lib-Reps,
wanted nothing but to be identified as
recently converted Denis., but 01: motion
of Mr. Hall there was another stretching
of arms, and a shake across the chasm
was had, and Thos. Irwin Lib-Rep, ot
Spring creek was put on the tail of the
ticket by receiving the nomination for
county auditor. Nest iu order was the
election of delegates to the congressional
convention to wit: C. It. Earlcy, O. 15.
Grant Denis., another shake and W. S.
Hamlin Lib Rep. Delegates to the con
vention to nominate Delegate to the con
stitutional Convention as fullows, J. P
Hall, and Maj. Kretz, Denis., then the
shaking process and J. L. Brown Lip
Rep, was appointed as a delegate. Then
come tho choice of Delegates for the
representative convention and resulted in
the choice of O, G. Messenger, lion.
Geo. Dickinson Dctns., and then came
tho last great shake, and I. Horton Jr.,
Lib-Rep. was made a delegato, and all
this out of compliment to the Lib-Rep.
converts. Next in order was the selec
tion of members of the county committee,
this was done nofwithout some sparring,
but it was done, by the choice of the
following persons to wit:
Benzinger Martin Sorg, Fox C.
R. Earley, Benezett A. II. Dixon,
Jay I. R. Spangler, Jones M. Wydott,
Millstone Chas. Hoffman, Ridgway
E. J. Miller, St. Mary's L. II. Garner,
Spring-creek Jeremiah Elliott.
Maj. Kretz of St. Mary's was chosen
chairman of the county committee by
tho unanimous vote of the convention.
The Major on assuming command ot tho
Elk county Democratic Brigade took
the floor, straightened himself so as to
be a little crooked backward, and made
declaration of his purpose, which in sub
stance was that be was going to leave no
stone unturned te secure a Democratic
majority in Elk county, he intended to
oommence tea days before Election to
bring Democratic voters to the polls,
(which means to "vote early and often")
and he wanted all hid Lieutenants to go
and do likewise, and bo issued his first
order. Alter all this work was done the
President deolared the cooveution ad
journed tine die, and the delegates went
witnersMvei tUey hated.
The stability of Republican measures
is shown in the adherence of Republi
cans to their men. We elected and re
elected Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency,
and have ro-nominatcd Grant for the
same of office. In Pennsylvania, we
elected and re-elected both Curtia and
Geary to the office of Governor while
for Presidiwt and Governor, the Demo
cracy nominated different men at each
election. First they had Douglas and
Breckcoridcre for candidates for Presi
dent then M'Clellan, followed by Scy-
Unour, and concluding with Orcelcy.
What better evidence of the unreliability
of a party, need a people havo to con
vince them of its unfitness to rule, thun

Another Democrat's Condemnation Of
GreeleT-
Gen. Joseph II. Geizor, an old Demo
crat, adJressed a large meeting in Colum
bus, OhioSaturday night, on the quest
ion, "What claims has Horace Greeley
on the American people for support, as a
Democrat, as a friend of the negro, or ol
the South ?" lie showed that Grealey
had been a secessionist up to and through
the war; how ho bad argued that dissolu
tion would bo a commercial benef it to
the North ; how when the effort for dis
solution commenced, he wanted the war
made so terrible that the Southern men
shold find no horn ;s; and how when the
war was progressing, when every patriot
was terrified, nud when men were amonjr
us to burn our cities, Horace Greeley
was hurrying to Niagara Falls trying to
carry out the secession doctrine he had
preached at the begiuing of the war.
The Feonle Demand tho Proof,
As our Democratic friends continue
to repeat the charge the corruption
against the present Administration with
out telling the people in what it is cor
rupt, we propose to afford them a little
assistance by giving them a few points
which they may use by the way ot pr.mf.
We have shown by official records that
tho Treasury Department has been hon
estly managed, its expenses reduced;
and we show the grand sum of 431,
045,31 08 reduction of the national
debt since March ;5, 1800, as evidence
of honesty and economy. When wc
add to this the fart that by this reduction
we havo pav.kI to the nuiioti 22.002.519
on interest alum?, a child can understand
that official corrupt iii could not be
followed by such magniuVent results.
The War and Navy Departments show a
decided reduction in their expenses, and
a glance at their annual reports shows
that the nation has received a dollar's
value for every dollar expended. The
most, searching investigation into the
n flairs of the three depjrtmetits miuirvi
has failed to fix upon Hie Administration
a .single jet of dishonesty. Our oppo
nents know this, but lack the honesty
to admit. Thry ma'c the. chi"jr, l,ut
unit t!i: nprr!jirat!nu. They liope by
persistency to make loud assertions pass
for proofs. Let the people deiuu'id ot
these demagogies whercvi r they speak
that they shall ;ive tho prnnf for every
charge they make. If thty know enough
to mak". a charge they should kno.v
enough to prm'c '.'.,
As this may meet the eye of some
''Liberal" oraiors v '.10 expect to stump
the country for Greeley, we give them
the benefit of another item, which may
tend tend to prove, their charge of cor
ruption against roe present administra
tion of tho Post Offiee Department, Il
will be very Useful to them when called
upon to provo their as-crtions. They can
rely 011 this statement as officially cor
rect. The total defalcations and the amount
reeevered on each during tho adminis
trations of Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson,
and Grant are as follows :

The Tammany Greeleyites are on the
constant howl about corruption iu our
uational finances. True it sounds a good
deal like "Satan reproving sin" for a
Tammany Grceleyito whether a Lib-Rep.
or Dem to find fault with stealing from
the publio Treasury, but we will let
figures show where tho thieving belongs
and who the thieves are.
We are indebted to the Hon. F. E.

If any one believes that Horace Gree
ley, at the head of the Democratic party,
could improve on the official integrity
show by the above exhibit, we recom
mend him to read the report of Commit
tee of Seventy who investigated the
financinl affairs of the city of New-York.
Ho will there get an idea of tho hocesly
of tho Democratic party, as shown
through the action of its loaders. If
theso men could steal $40,000,000 from
a single city, what sum Would satisfy
them if they had control of tho United
States Troasury 1
Another Influential Democrat fof Grant,
dipt. S. G. McKeo, Alliance, Ohio,
for twonty-five years editor of a Demo
cratic journal, has publised a letter show
ing that if be is to be compelled to vote
for. a Republican for President, ho will
at least claim the right to mako his own
choice between the men. In his letter,
which Is in the Alliance Local, he says:
"As I have for these long years been
wedded an bound to the Democrat par
ty through principle, I foci that I have
nothing to bind me to that organization
any longer, and shall cast my Vote for
Gen. Grant. In my connection with the
army of the Cumberland and the Depart
ment of the Mississippi, it was my good
fortune tc be with the General, and 1 al
ways admired him as a brave man, iuue
pendaut aud firm in the field aud in the
private circle; while his kindness and af
fection for the soldier w is u usual aud
the ' observed of all odservcis.' While
this was true, and Gen. Grant made no
distinction as to the political views and
opiuions of the soldiery, what was Mr
Greeley saying and doiug tor our party
lie was abusing us nud calling a'l the ap
probious names and epithets that a wily
and cunning brain and pen could foim
and conceive, 1 for one do not choose
to ca-t. my vote for this man Who uio
much to demoralise the party to which I
belonged, and who lias labored sihc'e
1S3G toeoviucethe world that all Dem
ocrats were knaves, poltroons, and horse
thieves. As I have 110 party organization
with which to sever niv connection, 1
foci that I have no sacrifices to make,
and I shall vote for lien. Grant and the
whole Republican State and county tick
ets this Fall."

N! MILLION OF LIVES SAVED.
Is he 6f the most remtirkable facts of
this remarkable age, not that So many
persons are the victims of dyspepsia or in
digestion, but its willing victims. Now,
we would not be understood to say that any
one regards dyspepsia with favor, or feels
disposed to rank it among the luxuries of
life. Far from it. Those who have ex
perienced its torments would icout such an
idea. All dread it, and would gladly dis.
pense with its unpleasant familiarities.
Mark Tapley, who was jolly under all the
trying circumstances in which he was
placed, never had an attack of dyspepsia,
or his jolify would have speedily forsaken
him.
Of all the multifarious diseases tn which
the human system is liable,
there is perhaps no one So
generally prevalent ns dyspepsia. There
are diseases mor acute and painful, and
which more frequently prove faial, but
mine the effects of winch are so depressing
to the mind and so positively distressing to
the body. If thcro is a wretched being in

A CONFIRMED DYSPEPTIC.
We havo said that dyspepsia is perhaps
the most universal of human diseases.
This is iniphatioall.y the Case in the United
States. Whether this general prevalence
is due to the character of the food the
method nf its preparation, or the hasty
manner in wlnoll it is usually swaNowol,
is not our province to explain. The great
fret with which we are called to deal is
this:
DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS
almost univei Sally.
Nearly every othor person you meet is a
victim, an apparently willing one; were
this not the case, why so many sufferers,
when a certain, speedy nnu Site remedy is

not .i mere assertion "he. exlnicts from
which they arc compounded arc prepared by
one of the ablest of German chemists. Their

Indigestion, Uilliousncss, Physical or Ner

the human race are not confined to his
celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his
invaluable Tonio. Ho has prepared an
other medicine, which is rapidly winning
its wuy 10 papular favor because of its in

These wonderfnl Pills, which are Intend

ple of the mandrake root. It is the medi
cinal virtues of this health-giving plant, in
a perfceily pure and highly concentrated
term. The Podophyllin acts directly on
the Liver, atininlating its functiins and
causing it to make its Miliary secretions in
regular and proper quantities. The inju
rious results which invariably follow tho
use of mercury is entirely avoided by
their use. But it is not upon the Liver
only that their powers are exerted. Tho
extract of Mandrake contained in them is
skillfully combined with four other ex
tracts, one of which acts upon (lis stomach.
one upon the upper bowels, one upon the
lower boweU. nud prevents any griping
effect, thus producing a pill that influences
the entire digestive aud nlimen'ary system,
in an equal and harmonious manner, and
its action entirely free from nausea, vomit

purgatives.
Possessing these much desirable qualities
the Podophyllin becomes invaluable as a
