Ridgway Is lively this week owing to the session of court. Frank McQIoln's potatoes look as wellasthey did before the frost scorched them. McAfee has a new lot of samples, and is now making summer suits dirt cheap. George Walker and A. F. Eby have gone west in search of a place to locate. Evp Cook, of Wilmarth, brought a nloe lot of trout to town Monday morning.

We give the tickets and platforms of the three parties, this week, as a matter of reference. Company H will parade to-day (Decoration Day) at 4 o'clock P. M., sharp, in full uniform, The Treasurer's sales of unseated lands will only appear once more. The salo takes place on June 10th. The farmers in some sections of Fox township are cutting their wheat, the frost having completely killed the crop. The youngest child of Sam. Miles, a little girl not yet three years old, died on Tuesday of diphtheria, after an illness of but a few days. G. G. Messenger missed a five gal lon keg of brandy the other day. All he knows about it is that when he looked for the brandy it was not there. B. F. Ely is suffering with nn ex tremely painful swelling in his hand. He was piling hemlock lumber, and thinks he must have a sliver in his hand. Hagerty has on hand a large as sortment of ready-made clothing, and is selling at very low prices. A suit of clothes for Jive dollars is among the bargains he offers. The man who was looking on Zion's hill for his cow the other morn ing had to ask a neighbor to point out the right one. Don't mention this to Postmaster Hagerty. Col. It. B. Magcc, Commanding the Seventeen Regiment, has notified Captain Schconing to keep his com pany in good trim as their services may be required at no distant day. Hon. Geo. A. Jenks called at this office yesterday, but did not leave us a specimen of his writing. As ho did not get the Democratic nomination for Governor we presume he might get a .i'sit" In China marking tea boxes, Thomas Ncill says he has a great many chipmunks on his farm about a million and a half tothejacre; that is, you could get that number on an acre is you piled them high enough, and he is willing to have some good man with his gun try his skill. Thomas Welsh, who was arrested for an assault on Deputy Constable Kline, plead guilty, Tuesday, before the court in session here, and was sen tenced to pay a fine of $25 and costs, and to undergo an imprisonment in the county jail for sixty days, and stand committed. The new bridge across Elk creek will have one stone abutment and one wooden abutment. Won't that look rather cheap? Elk Democrat. Yes, especially the wooden abutment built by Democratic Supervisors. The stone end was built by Flynn & Maloney for Greenback Supervisors. Then, we always did admire Demo cratic economy. Church Directory. GRACE CHURCH. Rev. Wm. Jas. Miller, next Sunday, morning and evening at the usual Lours. LUTHERAN CHURCH. Rev. J. M. Gillette (Presbyterian), morning and evening, at the usual hours. ii i imiii METHODIST CHURCH. Rev.

Woodward was entered by the front door on Monday night, and goods, consisting of mer sehaum pipes and cigar-holders, one full box of cigars, and eight or ten pounds of plug tobacco, to the amount, at first cost, of twenty-five dollars, were carried off by the villains. The money-drawer was broken open, but, as it contained no money, the thieves had their trouble for their pains. Olmstead's wagon shop was also entered by the window, which was broken out, and a two-inch chisel, which was used to pry open Capt. Woodward's door, and other tools, taken. They built a fire on the work bench, with the shavings lying all around, and the wonder is that a fire was not started, which would have re sulted in the loss of thousands of dol lars worth of property. Our citizens will do well to be on their guard as we have in our midst a gang of lawless characters, whom it will be well to check in their career of crime. Proceedings ' of the Elk County S. S.

Secretary. ' Republican State Ticket. . . FOR GOVERNOR, GEN. HENRY M. HOYT, OF LUZERNE. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, GEN. CHARLES W. STONE, OF WARREN. FOR SUPRERE COURT JUDGE, JAMES P. STERRET, OF ALLEGHENY. FOR SECRETARY OF INTERNAL AF FAIRS, COL. A. K. DUNKLE, OF PHILADELPHIA. THE PLATFORM. The Republican party of Pennsyl vania, adhering to its historical record and to its principles heretofore often affirmed, declares : 1. That it is uncompromisingly op posed to free trade, in whatever dis guise presented, unchangingly devoted to home Industry, and hereby avows its special and direct hostility to the Tariff bill now pending in Congress, the Bame being in the Interest of Im porters and foreign manufacturers and in opposition to American labor. ' 2. That labor being the great source of national wealth, the prosperity of the nation must depend upon the ex tent to which labor Is protected and employed, and that our government, being a government of the people, should endeavor to promote, by all proper means, the commercial and in dustrial interests of the nation, that labor and capital may both be proflta "bly employed. 8. The American commerce should be fostered, and home enterprise de veloped by the National Government, to the end that our manufacturing, mining, agricultural and industrial In terests may flourish, our people find employment, and the country be re stored to permanent prosperity. 4. That the public lands belong to the people, and should be reserved ex clusively for actual settlers, so that the industrious poor may bo encouraged and aided to enter upon and occupy them. 5. That we are now as ever opposed to the payment of claims from the Na tional Treasury to those lately engaged in or sympathizing with the rebellion no conqueror should be forced to pay indemnity to the conquered, and the presentation of bills demanding over 300,000,000 at the present session of a Democratic House is a warning to the country of the cost and danger of retaining in power a party whose chief aim is to make reprisals on the tax payers for losses which the crime of treason brought upon the Southern people. 6. That we view with alarm the growing depression of many of the leading trade interests of the State and country resulting largely, it is believed, from unfair advantages and discrim inating rates of freight and transpor tation privileges given by many of the transportation conipuniea of the Stnto and country to a favored few to the prejudice of our general producing in terests, and this .convention earnestly recommend the enactment of such laws by the State and National Legis latures as will correct this growing evil. 7. That the Southern Republicans, white and colored, have our earnest sympathy in the unequal contest to which they are subjected for civil lib erty and the maintenance of their con stitutional privileges, and that in the interests of their guaranteed rights we demand from the general government for them an equal and fair ballot, and that equality before the law which should be the boast of every govern ment. 8. Resolved, That the administration of Governor Hartranft meets the hearty endorsements and unqualified approval of the party that elected him and oojj tinucs to honor him. He has prove I himself an able magistrate, a true pat riot and a wise officer, and his party tenders to him the praise due to per sonal uprightness, to political devotion and to official rectitude. Sheriff's Sale. Following, we give a listof the prop erties sold at the present term of court, with name of the purchaser, and the amount paid : Property of Fletcher Bros., 24 acres in Benevette township, to Robert Milli gan, for ?805 00.

Fletcher Bros., 271 acres In Benezette township, the appraised value of which is $21,000, and for which $1,000 was bid. Also, the Storehouse lot, In same township, owned by the same. A Strange Case. A child of Mr. John Kuhn's, of Jefferson Co., was born with only one passage, this through the urine. This deficiency was not observed until some time after the birth of the child- Dr. Brown, of Troy, Drs. Matsons, of Brookville, and Dr. Thompson, of Corsica, opera ted upon the child with success. The patient is now doing well, and the par ents entertain hopes of its permanent recovery. This is a rare case in the experience of physicians. Democratic State Ticket, , FOR GOVERNOR, ANDREW J. DILL, OF UNION COUNTY. . FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, " JOHN FERTIG, OF CRAWFORD COUNTY. FOR JUDGE SUPREME COURT, HENRY P. ROSS, OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY. FOR SECRETARY OF INTERNAL AF FAIRS, J. SIMPSON AFRICA, OF HUNTINGTON COUNTY. THE PLATFORM. The Democracy of Pennsylvania unanimously declare : That the Republican party, its mcas. ures and Its men, are responsible for the financial distress, the misery and want that now exist. It has had con trol of the legislation of the country, and has enacted and perpetuated a policy that has enriched the few and impoverished the many. Its system of finance has been one of favors to mon eyed monopoly, of unequal taxation, of exemption of classes, of high rates of interest and of remorseless contrac tion, whicli has destroyed every enter prise that gave employment to labor. Its present hold upon federal power was secured by fraud, perjury, and forgery. Its laws are unjust, and its practices are immoral. They distress the people and destroy their substance. Theonly remedy for these evils is an entire change of policy, and the dethrone ment of those in power; and we re solve, That further contraction of the vol ume of United States legal tender notes is unwise and unnecessary. They should be received for customs duties and reissued as fast as received. Gold, silver and United States legal tender notes at par therewith are a just basis for paper circulation. A close connection of the federal government with the business inter ests of the people, through national banks, tends to monopoly and centrali zation, but in changing the system, uniformity of notes, security of the noteholder and protection of the capi tal invested should be provided for. Treasury notes issued in exchange for bonds bearing a low rate rate of in terest, is the best form in which the credit of the government can be given for paper currency. Labor and capital have equal de mands upon equal responsibilities to law. Commerce and manufactures should be encouraged, so that steady employment and fair wages may be yielded to labor, whilst safety of in vestment and moderate return for its use belong to capital. Violence or breaches of order In support of the real or supposed rights of either should be promptly suppressed by the strong arm of the law. The Republican party, by its legisla tion In 1872, which reduced the tariff upon bituminous coal from one dollar twenty-five to seventy-five cents per ton, and upon iron, steel, metals, pa per, glass, leather and all manufac tures of each of them ten per cent., struck a fatal blow at the industries and labor of Pennsylvania. The public lands are the common property of the people, and they should not be sold to speculators nor granted to railroad or other corporations, but should be reserved as homesteads for actual settlers. Our public debt should be held at home, and the bonds representing it ought to be of small denominations, in which the savings of the masses may be safely Invested. Thorough Investigation into the elec toral fraud of 1876 should be made, fraud should be exposed, truth vindi cated and criminals punished. But we oppose any attack upon the Presi dent's title as dangerous to our institu tions and fruitless in its results. The Republican party, controlling the legislation of the State, has refused to execute many of the reforms of the new constitution. Among other things it has neglected and refused to compel the acceptance of all of its provisions by the corporations of the fitate; to prevent undue and unreasonable dis crimination In charges for transporta tion for freight and passengers, and without abatement of drawback to any; to give to all equal means for transporting the raw material of the State in such manner and to such points as they may prefer ; and to pub lish in good faith monthly statements of where the money of the people was kept. The Republican party creates new officers, and adds enormous per quisites to the others, and fills them with favorites, whose chief duty is to manage its political machinery. Its administration of the State govern ment grows more expensive with each year of its rule. Legislation has been directed by Republican lobbyists, who in turn manipulate and control the nominations of the Republican party, and its candidates are the crea tion of a junta, whose decrees are ac cepted as the irreversible mandates of absolute hereditary power. We de nounce these methods, these measures and these men as unworthy the sup port of an honest and free people, and we invite all, of every shade of politi cal opinion, to unite with us in deliv ering the commonwealth from their hateful rule. llorton Jiotes. The wheat crop here was not much Injured by the late frost. On Monday, May 20th, lightning struck a white ash tree, on the farm of J. S. Chamberlain, shattering it be yond recognition.

Tlio National-Greenback-Labor State Nominal ions. FOR GOVERNOR, S. R. MASON, OF MERCER. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, D. M. STECK, OF LYCOMING. FOR JUDGE BUPREME COURT, HON. DANIEL AGNEW, OF BEAVER. FOR SECRETARY OF INTERNAL AF FAIRS, JAMES L. WRIGHT. OF PHILADELPHIA. THE TLATFORM. The United States, by reason of Its vast territory, fertile soil, varied pro ductions, rich minerals and temperate climate could, wisely governed, sustain in comfort and even luxury a popula tion tenfold greater than at present oc cupy it. Nevertheless, with an enter prising, industrious people, after a se ries of abundant harvests, manufac turers are idle, business prostrate, labor unemployed and starvation impending. This condition of affairs has been pro duced by the control of the producing interests of the country by the non producer and by legislation in favor of non-productive capital and as against the interest of the laborer of the coun try. The policy adopted has reduced the value of property, public and pri vate, over one-half, whilst National, State, municipal and private debts, nominally the same have, by reason of such reduction, practically doubled. From such policy bankruptcy of the producing interests has been the nat ural and inevitable result. For such control both the Republican and Demo cratic parties are responsible, and the wisdom of such policy has been af firmed by the Republicans at Cincin nati and the Democratsat St. Louis, and by both parties in their State platforms adopted in Pennsylvania. Wisdom would dictate as a remedy for existing evils, not only the repeal of pernicious laws and the establishment of a wise and judicious financial system, framed in the interest of the productive labor of the country, but also the condemna tion of the people, manifested at the ballot-box, of the Democratic and Re publican parties, by whom the produ cing interests of the country have been betrayed; therefore it is Resolved, That neither the Demo cratic nor Republican parties of the country are entitled to the confidence of the people or worthy of their sup port, and that their record in the past has been such as to render any pledge they may make in the future as unre liable and unworthy of credit, to be re garded as pledges made under fear of public wrath, to be unredeemed if by reason of such pledges public indigna tion is allayed. Resolved, That we affirm and in dorse the platform of principles adopt ed by the Toledo National Convention on the 22d of February, 1878. Resolved, That as the power to cre ate money is the highest prerogative of government, and as upon the regula tion of the volume and value of such money, by wise and judicious legisla tion, depend the prosperity and welfare of the nation, such power should be jealously guarded and controlled, and no power to regulate either its volume or value should be given to banks or other moneyed corporations which by reason of such power could subserve private ends and at will contract or ex pand the currency of the country and thus hold all producing and laboring interests in absolute bondage. Resolved, That the present national banking system is not only burthen- some to the people by reason of the substitution of an inferior currency, for money at a heavy expense to the country In the useless payment of in terest on bonds, but by reason of the power in them such banks are obtain ing permanent control of the govern menfand are becoming the absolute masters of all the business interests of the country, and that in the interests of themanufacturer,farmer, the mechanic and the laborer, national bank cur rency should be withdrawn from cir culation and full legal-tender money substituted by the government in lieu thereof. Resolved, That as the wealth of the nation is founded upon labor, the la borer should be protected in his just rights. It is desirable that the hours of labor should be so limited as to af ford the laborer an opportunity to cul tivate his mental faculties and enjoy rational social intercourse with his friends. To earn such reasonable wa ges as may be an equitable proportion of the profits of his industry, and this so that he may ameliorate his condi tion and obtain the comforts and lux uries of life, and thus, by increasing consumption, open new avenues for in dustry, and new fields for labor. To educate his children, and thus, through universal education, elevate labor and the character of the laborer. For the purpose of attaining these ends, Resolved, That the prison contract system should be prohibited; that the Federal and State Governments and municipal corporations should limit the hours of labor; that the manufactur ing, mining and farming and laborers' interests of the country be protected: First, By lowering the rate of inter est on money, and effecting this by the government Issuing full legal-tender money sufficient for the wants of trade and regulating its value and its volume by wise and judicious legislation. Second. By the protection of Amer ican industries by the enactment of a tariff based on constitutional limits for revenue, but with discrimination for protection to the labor of the farmer, the manufacturer and the producing interests. Third. By holding public lands for the use of the actual settler, and not to be granted as subsidies have been so granted; to hold such corporations to a strict accountability, and where the terms of the grant have not been com plied with to reclaim such lands as having been forfeited and as having reverted to the government. Fourth. By opening new fields for labor in the constructing of works of national Importance, either directly by the government itself or by rendering assistance, in no case to be in the form of subsidies, but all outlays of the gov ernment to be adequately secured. t ifth. By encouraging our ship- building interests and the carrying of American products in American ships, and to render such aid under proper guarantees against fraud as will enable American steamships to compete with foreign lines. Sixth. To afford a safe depository for money, and to protect the people against the fraud and loss occasioned by savings banks and trust companies, a postal depository system should be established, from which, upon being deposited, certificates of deposit bear ing a low rate of interest should be is sued, and which certificates should be payable on demand in full legal-tender government money. Seventh. That we demand the re peal by the State government of all charters and special privileges incon sistent with the present Constitution of the State, the damage, if any, when ju diciously ascertained, to be paid by the State. Eighth. That we demand the pass age and enforcement of such laws as will prevent all combinations, dis criminations or granting of rebates by transportation companies, and com pelling common carriers to furnish the same facilities and perform the same service for the same price to all men. Ninth. That we demand the im mediate repeal of the resumption act of 1875. Tenth. That we demand equal and just taxation of all property whatsoever, except that used by the federal gov ernment and used and held for govern ment purposes. Eleventh. That we demand the payment of government bonds accord ing to the original contract, in the lawful money of the nation. Resolved, That to significantly des ignate our State organization, designed to secure financial and labor reform, we adopt the name of National-Greenback-Labor party of Pennsylvania. Whereas, The struggles of seven cen turles for civil liberty have, in this country, culminated in securing to all an equal right to the ballot; andwhereas we believe the Intelligent and honest exercise of this privilege, judiciously directed to the finances of the country will secure general prosperity througli a more equitable distribution of the products of labor therefore Resolved, That this convention con demns all lawlessness, violence or dis order to accomplish its ends, believing that the happiness of the whole peo ple can only be permanently secured through the ballot, after a calm, free, open and searching discussion of the grave questions which press themselves upon the convention.
