OUR CANDIDATES.
The Republican County Convention
met last Tuesduy,at the Ridgway Bank,
to place in nomination a ticket 'or tho
several county offices to be voted for this
fall. Every township in the County
was represented, and the Convention
was in all respects sttiotly harmonious;
the candidates were none ol them
present, leaving the delegates free to
vote for whom they pleased. No wire
pulling or political tricks, usually indul
ged in to giin a nomination were dis
played in this convention. We will
commence with the highest office first,
and give a short sketch of each
candidate presented for the suffrage of
Elk County voters:
For Treasurer.
The name of Chas. McVean, of St.
Mary's, was presented for the nomina
tion for Treasurer and be was unani
mously nominated.
Everybody iu Elk County is acquain
ted with Charley ond his hearty laugh
has rrnde him popular with all classes
while his gentlemanly bearing and
strict integrity as a business man have
stamped him as a man eminently quali
fied to fill, and fill well, the important
trust for which he has been nominated.
For a quarter of a century has Chas.
McVean been known to the people ol
this county. He has been with us in
our good times and in our bad times,
and has been ever the same, neither be
ing puffed up by prosperity nor cast
down by adversity.
The nomination was iu no way sought
either by having delegates go into con
vention instructed nor by personally im
portuning the delegates after their ar
rival here. The office in this case seeks
the man; and, although the office is not
sought the nomination is accepted, and
should our candidate succeed in be
ing elected we all know the offico will
be filled with ability.
Mr. McVean was elected Prothono
taty of Elk County, and served from
1854 to 1857, and we have heard Capt.
Schoening say, that the records during
that period were never excelled. This
recommendation, coming from the cource
it docs, a once stamps Mr. McVcun as
a man capable of filling any office in the
county. While wo are in the minority
as a party at the same time Mr. Mc
Yean's personal popularity and con
cceded ability will gain him many
votes from tho Democratic ranks. Of
course party nominations are all right,
yet in county matters men are more apt
to be considered than parties. The
time is short for work, and we hope to
see an effort made among the Republi
can and Democratic friends of Mr. Mc
Yeau to give him a good complimentaty
vote.
For Commissioner
W. II. Osterhout, our candidate for
CoramUsioner, although but a few years
in the county, has by his integrity and
business qualifications made a host of
friends, lje is the proprietor of the
Eaale Valley Tannery, at this place,
(which is said to be one of the best ar
ranged tanneries in the country.) Mr.
Osterhout has been for two or three
terms, supervisor of the township, and
every one here c&n attest to the prompt
manner in which he has always atten
ded to the duties of his position, and al
though entitled to three dollars a day
he has steadily refused all pay for his
time. We feel proud in having such a
candidate, "and we believe he will make
if elected au efficient and active officer.
We know of scores of Democrats who
will erive Mr. Osterhout their votes
knowing him to bo a man of sound
judgment and excellent business quali
fications. We ask all Republicans and
as many Democrats as are in favor of
honesty and ability to give Mr. Oster
hout a vote, and his election will be as
sured. We will add, in conclusion, that the
nomination was not sought by Mr,
Osterhout, in any manner whatever, but
rather he has been moaned not to ac
cent, and it is only through the most
urgent and persistent efforts of bis many
friends that he has been prevailed upon
to allow the use of his name, lie will
nevertheless perform the duties of the
office faithfully and promptly.
' For Auditor
Geo. Rothrock, trotu Benezette, our
candidate for Auditor is said to be a
voud2 man of eood education and every
way qualified to fill this important,
though not very remunerative, otnee
We have not the pleasure of an acquaint
ance with Mr. Rothrock but hope to
tee him at the Advocate office should
ho have business in Ridgway.
For Surveyor
R. W. Pethkin, of Benezette, was
nominated for Surveyor, and not bav
ing a personal acquaintance with the
gentleman, we can only say that he is
said to be a man well qualified for the
office for which he has been nominated.

Pharmacen'ical Association adjourned

From Fvmry't 1'rcM.
For 79&;eran:e or Rofengaf
The observer who narrowly scans the
present "Teuiperanoe party" project
will sea that its success and by this
we mean the defeat of Governor Ilirt
ranft will bring the temperance re
form to a dead halt in Pennsylvania lor
years to come. The argument is readily
stated, and lies on the surface of the
movement. Every vote east for Brown
and Penuypacker is a vote withdrawn
from the Republican party. Without
tho continued ascendency of that party
adequate license laws are almost impossi
ble. The defeat of the Republican
party this fall will disastrously affeot the
canvass next year, when members of the
Legislature are elected. Aod then,
with the lawmaking and the law-repealing
power in the bands of the Democ
racy, whisky will be sold in Pennsyl
vania as freely as molasses. The ascen
dency of the Democratic party and the
abolition or modification of proper re
strictive liquor laws are facts so intima
tely related that the statement of the
one inevitably implies the other.
When hotly pressed, the coterie of
temperance politicians who disport them
selves before the footlights in this ab
surd farce, who arrange its machinery
and actively assist in the destruction of
the Republican party, acknowledge
that the immediate purpose of the
'third party" sobeme is the discipline ol
Iloxtranft. The Balety of existing
liquor laws and the popularity ot tem
perance work in general are to be sacri
ficed for the ''scalp" of Ilartranft. To
attain that purpose the only real tem
perance party ever in existence in this
State is to bo swept from the field. It
cannot be concealed that the defeat of
Ilartranft is in the near view of these
persons, and it shadows the whole pros
pect beyond. The fool who held up a
dollar before the moon and obscured its
face was ready to wager that the orb
was no larger than the coin. So many
of these enthusiasts do not seem to com
prehend that behind Governor Har
tranft is the Republican party, with its
tremendous capacity for the protection
of every vital interest in the State.
The vast aggregate of its followers are
persons in deep sympathy with real
temperance relorm. They regard the
continued triumph of that party as
one of the necessities ot the movement,
and they regard its defeat as the most
signal blow that prohibition principles
can possibly sustain. The infatuated
leaders of this foray do not appreciate
the advantage of well-ordered retreat.
They never sound a halt. They prefer
overwhelming defeat to a drawn battle.
It was this disposition which aided in
the defeat of Olmsted and Beath, both
of whom were gentlemen of temperance
proclivities. Ihe change of political
tupremancy in the Assembly is largely.
attributable to a similar cause. Ihen
came the repeal of the local-option law,
which, in our opiuion, would still be
upon the statute-book if the event we
have described had not transpired. The
repeal of that measure is an offence if
offence it be which may be divided
between the Democratic Assembly and
the temperance politicians who made
such au event possible.
It is useless te sound a friendly note
of warning to these infatuated people
They are fond of associating the present
movement with the diseouiagiug and
meagre beginnings of the Ami slavery
agitation. They are stirred with the
hope that somehow and at some time
their glory will not bo unlike that
matchless leadership. It is their boast
that they are far in advance of the
tempter of the times, and in zeal to
keep in the van the most of them have
moved out of view altogether, and are
useless as guides to any distinct destina
tion. By separating themselves in this
nay from the prevailing temperance
sentiment they attract some degree ot
publio attention, and this is a means ot
self-glorification which a certain class ot
minds cannot easily resist. Then there
are also certain restless spirits among
hem who are always astride some
moral "Rosinante," which they gallop
up and down the world all tbeir lives.
The vast array of temperance men in
the Republican party distrust a scheme
which tends to the restoration ol th
Democratic patty. Ibeir views weie
not consulted when the illy-considered
project was devised. It was pushed
through by a convention which had no
constituency in any comprehensive
cense. It was prompted by the mere
desire to discipline llartrantt. JNo pros
pect of electing the temperance ticket
was expressed by the most sanguine
member of the body. Nobody enter
tains to this day the "shadow of i
sbade" of expectation that Rev. Brown
wiil occupy the Exeoutivo Mansion at
HarrisLurff. Not a man in the State
believes that the defeat of the Repub
licaas would result in anything but irre
parable disaster to true reform, it was
a clear instance of self stultification an
elaborate of harikari.
Side movements io politics rarely ac
complish hoped-for results. The anti
slavery agitators were nothing more
than the leaders in a feeble protest
against a great national iniquity while
they acted independently ot existing
parties. But vast results wore attained
when they allied themselves with the
great party which most nearly ap
proached them, andhad infused in it a
portion of their own enthusiasm. Lin
coln was the ripe fruit of this sowing
and though not an Abolitionist on the
day of his election in the Garrisonian
sense, he and the organization whose
great heart he was were ready for decisive
action when the supremo moment ar
rived. The election ot Phillips, Gerrit
Smith, or Garrison to the Presidency
was never possible, but the influence of
their disciplined forco and fervor upon
the masses of the Republican party was
inculculble.
In 1797 the Bank of England sus
pended specie payments and remained
in suspension until 1823. During ibis
period the country possesses no other
circulating medium besides suspended
bank currency. Notwithstanding the
drains of a great war, the people pros
pered aod tho country more than doub
led its weaim.
riolott, th Honest Granger.
The nominee of the Democrats for
State Treasurer was a member of the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives
in 1846. He Was, during the session, a
member of the Committee on Banks.
Strong efforts were made, that year, to
repeal the charter of the Lehigh County
Bank. Tho Bank Committee were
equally divided about the reporting of
this bill. It was held over nearly a
month, as was understood, at the in
stance of Mr. Piolett. Daniol MeCook.
a younger brother of Dr. MoCook late
of Pittsburgh, was at Harrisburg lobby
log for the bill. Moses Y. Beach, of
New York, was the chief owner of the
bank. It was understood that Piolett
was in treaty with McCook about getting
this bill out ot the Bank Committee.
The whole facts as proved before Judge
rearaon, belore whom McCook was
afterwards tried, were about as follows;
Negotiations had been going on for
some time between McCook and Piolett
about getting the bill out of the com
mittee, t inally arrangments were made
that the money was to be paid the next
morning. All the parties were Demo
crats and boarding at the Buchler
House. McCook bad Col. Piper, of
Bedford, concealed, wrapped up in a
buffalo robe undtr his bed to hear what
passed at the'paymcnt of money, Piolett
was paid $400 in the notes of the Plain-
field Bank, of New Jersey, aod the bill
was to be reported at the next meeting
of the committee. Piolett, however,
blowed on McCook, and laid the money
oo his desk in tho hall of the House,
and stated that he bad been offored it is
bribe.
McCook was bound over and tried
belore Judge Pearson about a month af
terward and was convicted of the of
fense. Thaddeus Stevens defended
MeCook. On the trial Piollett was ex
amined as the chief witness; Among
other things, he stated having gone into
McCook s room and received the 8400;
he returned to his own room, sat down
and couted the money, and he said he
wept to think that anybody would be, or
could be bribed for 8400. Thaddeus
Stevens said. Gentlemen of the iurv.
have been doubting Mr. Piollett's
statement heretofore. Here is one part
I suppose to be exactly true. He tells
you about counting the money in Lis
own room, shedding tears. lie admit
ted that he was not aware ot its being
Jf Jamneid .Bank notes until this point ot
time, now, he knew that Plainfied
Bank was in bad repute, in fact he sup
posed it to be utterly worthless. These
tears fell not because of the attempt to
bribe him but because he thougt they
tiaa passed utterly worthless paper
money upon him. His virtuie could
not stand an aUenip to bribo him with
counterfeit money. Now, eentlemen of
the jury, had he not gotten into a pas
sion over it; had he gone to a broker's
and learned that ho could have had
them changed to gold aod silver for
from five to seven per cent., he would
have pocketed the insult, and yon would
have been saved the trial of McCook.
The Bank Committee all believed
that Piolett had been inviting this at
tempt to bribe him.
The Union Lumbering Ci inpany. of
Chippewa Falls, has suspended, with
liabilities to the extent of 8650,000 and
assets, according to the statement of the
president, of over twice that amount.
The whites of the seuior class of the
Boys' Central High School, New
Orleans, decline to attend because a col
ored man has been appointed professor
of mathematics for that school by the
school board.
An excellent old ballad has been
made into good modern law in Oregon.
1 he United Mates District Court in that
State has given 82,000 damages to a
young German girl nf nineteen whose
beauty was permanently spoiled by an
accident on board of the steamship Ori-
namme, ot the Oregon Company, last
March. The Judge gave it as his opin
ion that "personal comeliness is a con
sideration of importance in the case of
every daughter of Eve," since it may
affect her power of obtaining "a secure
and independent position in the com
munity by marriage " The opinion
must be admitted to be sound, and not
the less sound that it simply translates
into law the famous old verse:
'My face is my fortune, Sir, she said."
The Philadelphia Timet publishes an
interesting letter showing that the water
of artesian wells is not fit to drink.
there is an artesian well at Reading
- UOU ieet deep, costing 822,000, which
contains forty-stven grains of epsora salt
to the gallon. An artesian well at Fifth
and Cherry streets, Philadelphia, con
tains 116 grains of foreign rr.atter to the
gallon, and can only be used to con
dense steam lor the boiler. An artes
ian well in South street furnishes water
not fit for steam At Seventh street
and Passyunk road there are two artes
ian wells, each 100 feet deep, but the
water of both is so impure that it can
only be used for condensing. The
water at the Continental Hotel is not
pure. At Louisville there is a well 2,
649 feet deep, one io St. Louis 2,086
feet deep, one in South Bend, and one
in Terre Haute, but the water of them
all is impregnated with minerals, and
fit only tor medicinal uses. At Allan
lie City a number of wells have beeu
bored in the hope of getting pure water,
but not one yields water nt lor bouse
hold use.
Washington, D. C, September 13.
One of the special agents of the Pen
sion Office has just returned from the
West, and his reports made to the Com
missiooers discloses a remarkable series
of wholesale deceptions praoticed oo the
Government. He found parties in the
regular receipt of pensions, who not
only were not disabled from earning
tbeir living, but who could show no
trace of wounds or of impaired health
Numerous cases were also discovered of
parties personating dead men, and
women falsely representing themselves
as the widows of deceased soldiers and
drawing pensions as such. The Com
missioner now states that he is oonvin
ced that the Government is annually
paying from three to five million dollars
to fraudulent claimants.
ANNOUNCEMENT.

office of County Commliioor.
Not Correct,
A St. Louis paper having stated that
the authorities of Buffalo "have dcoided
that no woman having a husband shall
be accepted as a publio school teacher,"
tho Expret talks as follows:
Wc desire to inform these outside
critics that theidiotio aotion referred to
was not that of the Buffalo tchool
authorities, nor was it the action of any
body having any authority whatever in
the premises. It waj simply the im
pertinent action of thirteen men in the
common council who are shrewdly sus
pected here of having daughters, nieces
or friends unmarried ladies whom
they wished to pension off on the school
board in lieu of sorno of the efficient
and experienced lady teachers who were
so unfortunate as to have added to their
school experience with children, some
domestic experience. The geDtlemen
who weot out of their way to put up
this little scheme, have succeeded only
in making themselves the laughing
stock of the city, and the outside world,
too. The school authorities will con
tinue as heretofore to employ teachers
acoording to tbeir qualifications. All
the old teachers have within a tew days
been re-engaged, including those guilty
ef tho crime of marriage, in utter dis
regard of the absurd vote of the council.
