The County Convention.
For the first time in the history of
tAk county Republicanism a regularly
constituted eounty convention com
posed of legally elected delegates fimu
every district (Benzinger excepted) in
the county, was held last Tuesday in
the Court House. The custom, here
tofore prevailing, of holding the con
vention in a back office on court week,
with self-constituted delegates having
gradually grown into disfavor among
the people. Nor is this all, from this
time the party in the county will
grow if regular organization, is kept
up and persistent work done for
.party weal. There were mistake
made in Tuesday's convention of
which it .is uot necessary for us to
speak at this time. There was one
wrong iiguinst which we protest in the
name of justice and right, w ith the
assurance 'that if on another occasion
the same gags are trot in use some
thing more than a warning will be
the answer. The motion to nominate
two candidates at a time for contmis
sinner was entirely in the interest of
Mr. Carman who had but eight dele
gates in the convention; two from
Mill-tone; two from fr'pring Creek;
two from St. Marys; und two from
Highland. But by the unprecedented
giig of a double vote the record gives
him or 7 more than he was fairly
entitled to. There was nothing fair
about this and the men who laid
the conspiracy did it not in the interest
of tlio party but to further selfish
ends, fit was wrong and no excuse
will serve to erase the error. TLe mat
ter was sprung, as all gags of conven
tions are, and voted for by the dele
gates without a chance for considera
tion. The error will pass now, but a
repetition of tho offense will be laid at
the door of those daring to inaugurate
it, and no amount of washing will
cleanse tho guilty parties. We arc
nil Republicans, and as a party of
justice and equality we should stand
lirm as tho everlasting hills for fair
pfay. This is plain talk and we do
, not wish to be misunderstood.. Neither
is there a single pang of unsatisfied
personal ambition in tiie protest.
Deeply sensible of tho gallant support
of our friends wo owe tlieiu from
thenceforth a debt of friendship and
respect which must and will be lusting.
And which we can never hope to re-
jiay.- We shall support with willing
ness the nominees of the convention
first, last, and all thn time, and urge
all personal friends to do tho same.
For the ticket nominated is worthy of
our support, every man on it, and no
Republican should scratch a name on
account of any error of nomination
tbat may liavo been made. In our
next issue a brief sketch of each can
didate will be given. Then work for
tho whole ticket from now to- Nov. 8,
and then vote it entire: Baily, Oster
bout, Morey, Penfield, Carman,
Aldrich, and Chamberlain.
Cured of Drinking.
"A young friend of mine was cured
of an insatiable thirst for liquor, ivbkh
had so prostrated him that ho was un
able to do any business. He was en
tirely cured by the use of Hop Bitters.
It allayed all that burning thirst: took
away the appetite for liquor; made
bis nerves steady, and he has re
mained a sober and steady man for
more than two years, and has no
desiro to return to bis cups; I know of
a number of others that have been
cured of driuking by it.1' From a

The Creature, almro too Creator.
Not In a spirit of fault finding or
grumbling, but . as a plain duty Is
the article following penned. Be
lieving that Republican principles are
to the best Interest of our county,
State, and Nation, we shall light the
battles of the faith in the warfare for
their supremacy. The first and most
glorious of all is tho respect for the
will of the majority. The origin of
all authority is with the people ut the
polls. Any move that takes from the
people their right to chooso Is an as
sumption of power not to be tolerated,
and against which wo propose at all
times to enter our solemn protest.
To come to the point. In the closing
minutes of the county convention,
aided by the hurry of the delegates to
make the train, a motion was made
and carried to allow tho newly elected
chairman of the county committee to
choose said committee. As tho action
of the majority of the convention we
ought not to criticise it but as a wrong
precedent our duty is plain Now
that the Elk county Republicans have
emersred from the back-olllce" system,
we need to correct the abuses of power
that have so long existed in thecounty
to the end that we may grow and In
crease as a party. The present chair
man may not abuse the unwarranted
power he wields through this uncon
sidered action of the convention, but
human nature is weak, and personal
preference stronir. Whether this be so
or not no man should have such power
placed in bis hands. The question of
who serves as committeemen is not of
nidi great importance if they are rep
resentee Rcpublicnusand men whom
tiie districts they represent want
But under the custom that previ.il In
this county of giving the county com
mittee authority to select the delegate
to the state convention, it would b
an casv matter under this motion to
have a delegate sent who would most
woefully misrepresent us. Another
tiling in this connection, the bite con
vention neglected to adopt rules for
the government of the pnrty in the
county. This matter will now be
among the first duties of the new com
mittee. Another thing "we are in
formed that but oue member will now
be appointed in each district, where
it has been customary to have three.
Until the committee meets and re
duces the nu moer we believe three
members should be appointed, as in
the absence of rules custom is the com
nion law. In practice the committee
should be elected and then select its
officers. The motion of the conven
tion makes the chairman and lie
creates the committee. Thus the
creature, becomes the creator a very
unusual tiling in the economy of
nature, and a very unwise thing in the
realm of politics.
Bluino to Retire.
The announcement just made pub
lic that Mr. Blaine will retire as Sec
retary of State, will be learned with
feelings of regret by a large majority,
we have no doubt, of tho voters of the
country. Although but a few months
In the office ol the President's chief
adviser his acts have been marked by
wonderful insight into state-craft ond
showed the work of a master. At no
time in his brilliant career bus Secre
tary Blaine had a gaeater share of the
public esteem. He will be Ciesar or
nothing; the idea of playing second
fiddle to Conkling, Grant, or any one
else being entirely foreign to his na
ture. The people of the country de
sire him to remain, President Arthur
requests him to remain, and yet with
Conkling, or perhaps Grant holding
an iuferior position, and yet sharing
in a greater degree the confidence of
the President, is entirely to the dis
taste of Blaine. There was but one
Garfield, there la but one Blaine. In
1884 wo will not forget him. In 1885
he will hove the forming of a cabinet,
if the voice of the people is heard in
the Republican National Convention.

Washington, October 4. Dr. D. S.
Lamb, who performed tho autopsy
upon the la.to President Garfield, ex
plained to the grand jury yesterday,
with tho aid of a diagram, the track
of the wound through the- President's
body; Mr. Edward L. DuBarry, a
new witness, who was present at the
depot and witnessed the shooting, also
testified. With this witness the grand
jury concluded their investigation.
Their presentment will come down
this afternoon and the indictment will
be brought into court to-morrow.
About 1 o'clock this afternoon the
grand jury took a recess, and the fore

General Rllas M. Bully, Republican
candidate for state treasurer, is in this
city. The General looks a trifle
older and stouter titan he did In the
old war times when he was colonel of
the 8th Pennsylvania Reserves, but is
a young man yet and full of vigor.
No better candidate could possibly
have been selected for the state treas
urcrsbip than General Baily. He is
honest, bravo, thoroughly competent
and a man that every good Republican
In tho State can vote lor without fear
of afterward regretting it. If ever a
niau deserved well of his fellow.
eitiiseiiH for brave and honorable pub
lic service, quietly and modestly ren
dered, General Baily Is that man.
lucre was a time lias It gone by?
when it was felt to be an honor to vote
for a mau with a military record like
General Baily's. Ho faced death on
many hard fought battlefields aud
Hover flinched. He never shirked a
duty or a danger. A thorough soldier,
he never sought preferment, either
civil or military, but duriug tho. war
rose hgilmately by his merit, aud at
f its close quietly laid aside his sword
and resumed his civil occupation in
his quiet home among the hills of
Fayette county, where ho was sought
out and selected as a proper and com
petent man to have the custody of the
treasure of our State. The office
sought the man, not the man the office.
If the Republican convention bad
selected some man of less ability and
merit than General Baily there might
possibly huvo been some excuse, for a
third candidate in this campaign; but,
in view of the Republican candidate
and his record, the candidacy of Mr.
Wolfe, supported by the ilissotistlcd,
disaffected and disappoi nted, is uncalled
for and improper. It will, however.
lie an uphill business to attempt to
make the people believe that they are
doing an improper or a dangerous
tiling in voting for a man like Baily.
Of course the ouly objection that they
can bring forward against him is the
old threadbare one of "Oh, he's Cam
eron's choice-wasjselccted by the ring"
and is a representative of "bossism."
That there is no truth iu this is of
course known to every man who has
full knowledge of the facts, but many
have not tills knowledge, and it is con
sequently hoped that such may be
drawn or frightened out of the party
lines by the frantic appeals of the small
but would-be select, company of po
litical saints who of late seem to be
assuming to represent all the virtue in
the Republican party, or perhaps In
both parties, in the city and State.
If an objectionable man, by bard
work and energy happens to secure a
nomination, a bowl is at once raised
by these people. "There! See. the
kind of man 'the machine' is forcing
upon the people!'1 When, on the
contrary, a first-class man, unexcept
ionable in every respect, thoroughly
honest, honorable and competent is
selected as a candidate for any office,
then it would seem as if this truly
good combination should be rejoiced
and join in the general effort to elect
such a man, to show their approval of
that class of candidates. Not at all.
They will abuse tbat man rather Worse
than the other, before they are done
with him and swear by all that is
great and good that he is infinitely
more dangerous than the other fellow.
We don't profess to know the inside
working of Senator Cameron's mind,
but it must make a pretty tough job of
it for him to work for the success of
the Republican party in this State if
he and his friends try, in doing it, to
satisfy the whims of all these irrceon
cilablcs. But Senator Cameron and
every other man who lias the good of
the grand old Republican party at
heart, and who has ever worked for
its success, lias long since ascertained
tbat there is no use iu trying to satisfy
men whose purpose is not to bo satis
fied, but who are Republicans, Demo
crats, Reformers, Independents, any
thing, by turns, that will give them
notoriety, iniluence, office or control.
A few deep, 'calculating, scheming
men start the howl and all the restless,
dissatisfied, unsatisfied, cranky ele
ments in the State or in the nation
rush to their standard. It was so in
the Garfield campaign and probably
always'will be so to a greateror lessex
tent. While there is probably no
remedy for the organization of such
political menageries, yet their work
may be as dangerous as Guiteuu's
bullet and the only way to success
fully meetand defeat them is to show
the people plainly tiie great danger of
listening to their councils or follow
ing their advice. Infinitely better
that here and there a mistake should
be made or even a dishonest man steal
a few dollars, or a Republican "boss',
endure for a time, rather than that
Republican defeat should bo secured
and control gained by these howling
dervishes of politics. Nothing suits
the Democrats better than these efforts
to weaken or defeat Republican suc
cess. It is a safe rule for every good
Republican to always net exactly
opjiosito to all the advico kindly be
stowed upon him or his party by De
mocratic alleged "Independent"
frier.ds, The complacency with which
the modern Democratic or "Inde
pendent" either cau ladle out advice,
wholesale for Republicans, can only be
equaled In c illossul coolness by uu
Arctic iceberg. Ail tbat is necessary
to Republican success In this city and
Stale this fall is common souse, hard
work and a deaf ear to all misrepresen
tations which may be mudu by the
opponents of the Republican party.
Adhere to the party, vote tho regular
Republican ticket and vou will vote

Haii Vigor,
FOR RESTORING GnAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
is (it once harmless aud effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with tba
glocs and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, aud red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hnir is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It cheeks falling
of tho hair immediately, und causos a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to braehy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vioon cleanses the scalp, cures anf
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of tho
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair arc impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladioo' Hair,
The Vigor is Incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for tho toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its exeellcucc.

Republican Platform.
Hesolvcd, That the Republican
Eurty of Pennsylvania in the most
carty accord with the. Administra
tion of President GnrfieUl, and, while
uniting in tlio prayers of all (rood
people for bin speedy recovery, pledges
continued fealty aud the most active
suppport in the prompt and courag
eous correction of all governmental
abuses. A Republicans we are in
favor of any proper and well-considered
reform, cither in the government
of the Nation, the State, municipality
or county, and we court miKgci-tionn
to any or all of these ends, and only
ask that in their advocacy well-estalv-liehed
safeguards shall not be harshly
supplanted by experiments. The Ad
ministration. of President Garfield has
set the right example in this direction,
and while firmly adhering to the prin
ciples and better practices of the great
party which twilled it into existence,
it yet insists upon faithfulness ami
honesty in every branch of the public
service That the bullet of an assassin
should not Inter-Wipt this work. It
should be .pursued .while its author
lives, and beyond his life, if through
increasing misfortune it should be
taken away,
Hesolvcd, That the Republican
party has ever been progressive and
reformatory, and wlii'e realizing that
nothintr in irovernmeut is wholly
right we desire to he always uravu
enough to seek every avenue of ap
proach to the right Ut the end that all
our ueople may enjoy the ever increas
ing blessings of good government
hekotved, That President James A.
Gurllejd, this tender and loving, tlii
struguling and suffering, this pure ami
bravcnir.il, now becomes the beloved
of tills people and the admired of nil
people. We tender for ourselves and
our constituents iiHHiirnnces of deep
and heartfelt sympathy, nnd, keenly
appreciating the value of such a life to
his country, we express the prayerful
hope that lie may soon bu restored to
the discharge of the important duties
for which he is remarkably qualified
and from which by a peculiarly infa
mous crime and au undeserved assault
for a conscientious exercise of proper
executive power, lie has. been tempo
rarily withdrawn.
tinh(d, That in State as in Na
tion, the Republican party is cotnr
milted to the course of economical
and honest administration; we de
mand the use of all necessary means
and the enforcement of all lawa in
tended to prevent fraud and waste,
and we require a close nnd watchful
guardianship over all of the multifa
rious interests committed to the care
of our organization.
lieaolvrd, That in any revision r.f
our tariff legislation which may be
made care shall lie taken to discrimi
nate iu favor of our iiuiuKtriefi, and
thereby promote the causes which are
rapidly making America a controling
power in finances, as it already is aa
established leader in . political thought.
JMolvcd, That the administration
cf Governor Hoyt merits our warmest
approval. We regard with satisfac
tion tiie results of a purely Republi
can Administration under his leader
ship, in which atl departments have
been faithfully conducted, the credit
of the State raised to the highest
point, and its tl nances placed upon a
jiroper basis without increasing tho
burduvs of the people.
