l'bslen's folks were coining dowu, and
they said they were; said they were
coming down with Phalens but did not
care about riding with them. They said
it was not on account of the candidates j
they said Wiudfeldor had given Phalen
some money, Jiromley and Douovan
c;ine back lrom the school house to the
hotel. James Phalen and I were eluc
ted delegates. We all came back to the
hotel about the tsame lime. They re
mained at the hotel f rom to J of an

EVENING
TELEGRAPH !
THE BS3T NEWSPAPSB
, femsylvakia:
Contains more Telegraph, Local and
oenenii isews than uny paper in the State.
As
A F1EST CLASS NEWSPAPER,
the Evening TELEGRAPH will continue in
lead the coming year. Its well known ex
altcd character in the past will bo main
tained in Uie ltiiuve it will continue to ad
vocate the cause of the people, without ref
erence lo individual interests, and will re
probate all semblance of demagoguery, In
whatever quarter it may appear.
Tho TELEGRAPH will maintain its po.
lilical independence of ull semblcnce of ull
pitrtizan "rings," and a (the same time will
advocate the principals of the Republican
parly and support its nominess when they
are deserving of support.
The TELEGRAPH will continue in tho
future, as iu the past, to excel iu the quan
tity nnd quality of its
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS,
care being taken to exclude everything of
an objeetionublo character.
The TELEGRAPH will be unequalled in
ibis city the preeent season iu the matter
of
EL'LL AUD RELIABLE SPECIAL COR
RESPONDENCE, as we have now regular correspondents
stationed at W ashington City, Harritiburg,
Philadelphia, New York and Cincinnati,
aud special coi respondents elsewhere. This
feature of the TELEGRAPH will be nn
equalled, and will commend it to all who
want th news fresh and trustworthy.
The TI LFGRArn will continue to main
tain its excellent reputation iu a
LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC AND AR
TISTIC. way, and in the quality and amount of se
lected miscellany will not be surpassed by
any journal any where. Iu tbe matter of
IMPORTANT AND LATE TELEGRAPH
IC NEWS.
Our arrangements are such that we cannot
be equalled by upy cotemporary in Hub sec
tion, or surpassed by cotemporics nearer
the Eastern news centers.
Iu a word, th TELEGRAPH the present
year. 1874, will aim to be among
THE FOREMOST JOURNALS OF THE
COUNTRY,
to whhjh and neither pains nor expence
will be spared by the publishers.
. Tbe Full and Reliable marl(et"'reports of
the EVEN IK G TELEGRAPH make it es-
Eecially interesting to merchants doing
usiiess wiih Pittbbugh, as its reports are
fully twelve hours in advance of the morn
ing papers printed here, and uncqnaled by
