4 61h founts gultopte Henry A. Parsons, Jr. - Editor THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1873. Republican State Ticket For Judgo of the Supreme Court. HON. ISAAC G- 6oKDONr CP JEFFERSON COUNTY. For State Treasurer,. HON. It. W. MACKEY, O? ALLEGHENY COUNTY. The Democratic County Convention at the Court House on Tuesday, 2d iobt., pursuant to" call, and its proceedings were conducted with a spirit of harmony ud unanimity that could hardly be ex pected even allowing the efforts of our eotemp'irarv across the way to have had their full effect. The ticket nominated is like the of fence of Hamlet's uncle. It needs more than the presence of' one respect able name upon it to disinfect it and render it at all fit for people with ordi narily sensitive olfactories to associate with, at least we would prefer to be to the windward of it. Carbolie soap, "bromo-chloralum," chloride ot lime, and other disinfectants may clean up this Bwcel-scented posy, but we would prefer three ordinary sized rattlesnakes and a well-developed case of small-pox in cur house. We haven't space, ability, or material to give a full review f the ticket this week, but give in another column a part of it, which we hope will be accepted by our readers as a sort of an apology until the return of our devil from New York, whither we have sent him, for men and. material to do tho subject justice. Letter from Ohio. Cincinnati, Ohio, ) September 2nd, 1875. j Dear Advocate : With the thought that a letter fiom jour's truly might be welcome or otherwise, and per haps both, I take up my pen, and pro ceed. You and I know ot a certain editor, or ex-editor, who used to cut the letters of some of his correspondents pretty freely : perhaps my letters ' will bhare the same fate at your hands. It would, perhaps, be more to your taste and jour subscribers too if you were to cutout all between "Dear Advocate," and the signaturo. However I hope for more mercy. What the worli is doing in Elk, I hear onee in a while ; but whether there are six papers there, or more,. I couldn't say from actual in spection. Let it be recorded that this should be remedied. POLITICAL Of course you have heard of the vari ous political births in Ohio, this year and last : the political deaths will come in next Fall; First of all. you will please understand that I'm still a Democrat j and feel more copper bottomed than ever. So don't expeot anything but a fair whacking away at the subject gen erally,. For I have too good sense, I hope, to thrust forward Democratic views through a Republican paper, even it I thought you would publish them A paper, now-a-days, should publish the vews, as it is; and iu that way I pro pose to give it. Nevertheless, allow me to say, between us two, that if a hungry patriot can't be suited in either the Re. publican or Democratio party, lie had better get up a little establishment ot his own, or joiu the 'Liberal" party of sore-leads and political bummers. Th situation iu Ohio, is, however, decidely iuterostiug. The famous Allen county resolutions, which culminated iu the Liberal or New Party, or Third Party movouient, Convention, (as it is differently called) at Columbus, O., on July 30th, were gotten up in this city and sent off to Allen county, so as to make it appear they came "ftesh" from the "people" in the countvy ; apart from the influences of the city ward pohticms They were intrusted to the famous Cunningham, and introduced in the Dcraocratio Convention of Allen county and the joke of the movement coming from the Democratic party will be better appreciated when U is considered that Cunningham's Dcmocraoy ii not over four or five years old, and only cooled off to be moulded into Liberalism, when the Allen Democracy declined to per mit him to erect his breeches pocket into an abiding place for its teanets Here, iu Hamilton county, botU old par t!p are nrettv well edit up : the buck r i sliders fronr Republicanism, I admi are not e Buuwrous as those from Do inocraej ; but it is hard telling who be lings to any party just now. The Lib erals nominated a ticket iu this county last Friday, and the Time newspaper, (the administration tule) came out day after the convention, and after prais log toe ticket, insinuated u was ini amy . . . .. - J. -A of the Republican party to MB success ful, and if success were attainable through the aid of good men on the new ticket, the Republicans should make me of that meafls to succeed. Next day it took the back track with a vengeance, and now takes its loyal "pap" like a little mnn. Tho Gazette, strict, blue-nosed, straight laced, dignified Republican took up the new party with if editorial tongs, turned it evf, studied it and then chucked it away with holy horror : the Commercial, the leading pape of the wept, (and otie of the few real ett- papers of the United States) in Liber alism, cackled over 4he youthfuj party in high glee, regarding' it as the one thing altogether lovely ;. the Enquirer, the Democratic copper lined (that's me) organ,, treats it as small game which, may be, w a mistake and goes for the Republican candidate for Goveuor, in rather a lively style. The German pa pers are equally divided. THE AFRICAN IN TUB LUMBER YARD. Not to be outdone in busting things in general, by the white trash, the col ored aristocracy of Ohio, met in solemn and dark concluve at Chillicothe, Ohio, lately, and resolved with a whereas, that they regretted the Republiea party considered its favors done the Africani in the nature of a fee simple interest in their votes- Col. Bob. Harlan, a good- looking, smart chap of Cincinnati, (he is a son of Ex. Gov. llui lan (of Ken tucky) and a slave woman,) with a Fed eral appointment, in the Post Office, to the tune of 83,000 a year, tried to get in a RESOLUTION endorsing urant, hut . lh nnnvptitinn. ii.rW tho Inad of Peter II. Clark, wouldn't resolushe worth a cent on Harlan's motion, and the meeting broke up in a row. The truth of this matter is that Peter H. Clark is mad because Bob Harlan got the office he wanted for himself. That the negro vote may bo counted for the Republican party, in Ohio at bast, I think is beyond a doubt, and, to me, it seems as though it would be exceedingly ungrateful in them to desert the republican for the democratic party, all the latter organization ever did for our colored la tube of the flock, could be readily packed away in a flea's eye. Personally, and seeking to make no one responsible for my assertion, I never was in favor of granting them the ri"ht of suflra"e. A number of GERMAN AND IRISH met in sepeiute conventions last week, and vigorously resolved that they had been doing the work of the great parties long enough ; and, unless their elaims were admitted, they would hereufter (as the Irishmen resolved) vote with what ever party most fully recognized their claims for office ; hod the Germans did substantially the same. They are every one of them SORE-HEADS who nave been the ' lite iiarnacies, feeding off the great parties, and are mad because somebody else has got a grab. The respectable IRISH AND GERMAN element is already denouncing tho move ment. Many, whose names were used, have published cards denouncing the whole thing. It is a species ot Know nothingism which the people will very properly denounce, The (Jeriuan aud Irish aro too sensible to bo led by the demagogues of their nations. From what I have written, you will see the coming ritniT IX OHIO will be n exceedingly lively one. In my-next I will try to be interest ing, and p.njj something. Understand, I am simply frying to tell you the facts, and if any expression of a partizw na ture, be wedged iu, excuse it ; the op pinions are my own, and who then could expect them to be sensible? L. J. K. They find in New York that there is no provision in the mw license law for prosecuting those who sell without a li cense. A lady correspondent writes that she knows very little about the back pay question; but she ingoing to draw her back hair up over her head, according to the prevailing fashion, if it lifts her off her heels and endangers her equill- drium, and she would like to know what the newspapers are going to do about it. A local journal reports that at Tre roont, Schuylkill county, recen'ly a dog pursued a laree rat into a brewery, and the rat seeing no means of escape, jumped into the throat of the dog, just as the latter had extended his jaws for the purpose nf RPizmor the animal. It be caroe wedged in the dog's throat, so that it was impossible to remove it, and the dog died of strangulation. We are couronsly Temioed that the New World is becoming an old world by the recent discovery of ruina of three Spanish cities in the mountains of Tata manes. ;osta nica. a century has passed since those cities were inhabited, and among tho ruins is a lort witb can nnn all decayed and rusty. The remains of the first white settlements in America should be as interesting to American an tiouarians as the bezzer-iofeasted reiki . . 0j ancient Heme. NEW STORE AND NEW GOODS.
