Re-solved, That no business enterprise '
or practice inimical to the common good

ofaittz Omni
nce which illustrates this point. I
heard in thatnerning,abont nine o'plocit
that two applications for license would
be presented to the. Commissioner that
day from my own ward. , I. went to the
.officeassoon as I could and .fonxid that
one had been refused and one granted.
There had been no: remonstrance stint
in against them. I.talked with the Cam
missioners and asked them if the matter
bad to be pushed•forward so fast. They
said it could be delayed a little,while. I
went round the ward and tried to get
the feeling of the people manifested in
the matter. I also thought Pd tryto get
the woman who had secured one license
to give it up but failed in every
argument, although I -used a pecu
niary one • at that. Just.- as I
was turning away from her-she said:
"I suppose you think I am a very ;bad
womalt in trying to get my-" license. I
said I didn't know how she thought, ' but
it certsinly_ appeared that way to •me.
SILO said, "No; I am not a bad woman,
and it's not wrong for me to get my li
cense. Ism a good woman. I pray
everyday: Go to church regular. Neyer ,
eat a meal without asking God's blessing
upon it, and have prayed eapecialiy about
this license, and I think my prayere are,
to be answered, for I am to get my li
cense:l. Mr. -- told me so. He is to
get It for me for twenty-five dollars an.
if he don't get It, he is' not • to gotta i.
money. He toldtne today he could et
it." [Laughter.) So that woman talked.

This is the way some people lob t hi s '
matter, and it explains in a
r m re how
some of the licenses are p red, the
fault in a great measure of - thti temper
ance people. • , , •
But I've talked enough aud•Will say no
more now. Agaid, I thank you for your
partiality and good will, as evinced by
your rote." - - rAlmblutiii.l

THE' CONNEINTION BEJOIOZTII.
Seveial delegates:here acame, unabie
Jto repress their gushing enthusiasm, and
were allowed a few momdnts, by corn.
'mon consent, to -relieve themselves in
'mutual congratulations on the prospects
of the eats°, and •everything connected
- therewith, and in touching allusions to
their last defeats and discortragementa
which now seemed almost lost in
the great success which by the
eye'of faith [the only-medium . through
which they looked] they perceived in the
future. The general joy was becoming
infectious and several sedate delegates
who- had' modestly retired to remote
corners of the room were about to corns
.forward, when an irrepressible suddenly
jumped up and announced that no satis
factory pledge had been given.; He
wanted the jeandidate to pledge himself
to %Rune strict and unmistakable course.
Consideranie consternation was created
by this bombshell. and' a general mur•
mur of disapproval was heard, when
A.Y'INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE.
Mr. Dickey, said: .'Clentlemen, I am
perfectly independent In this matter..
:Yon may elect ma or not Just as you
choose,' lam well known in the com
mutilty and I take it my forty years
residence among you is, and
certainly , must be a sufficient answer to
all questions which might be.put to me.
I am in hearty' sympathy with your
movement, and will - aid it with all my
influence and ability, but I don't feel call
ed upon to place myself. In a - position, to
be catechised and compelled to answer
all aorta of questions which maybe pro
pounded to me, or make pledges incon
sistent withany right as a free, inepend
ant, partisan citizen."
Yoke--"M!at'irenotl. for We're
all satisfied,' followe dby applause
at once settled , the imprudent ad
vocate of "pledges," who sank back into
his seat with "Richard Swiveller"
feeling that he was "a poor lone hor
phan."
THE CAMPAIGN-HOW TO CONDUCT IT.
The Convention was again entertained
with congratulatory remarits„by Prof. L.
H. Eaton and others who were cheered
and encouraged by the signs of pre.
are= on every side, and hoped that the
old and young would unite In helping
forward the good cense. A , general dis
cussion then ensued. lan the conduct of
the campaign during which. •
Mr. Travelli gave some interesting re
miniscances of the manner In which tiae
last one was carried on. He thought
there was little use in meeting, noud.
nating candidates and passing resolutions
unless something was arranged for the
proper carrying out of the plan. At the
iast campaign a great fuss had been caeca.
stoned for want of tickets. On the day
they should have been distributed. after
diligent inquiry he discovered therm in a
store in Allegheny where they hut been
left—to take care of themselves. He
hoped some better organization would
be had in the future, and that the whole
county would be properly canvassed.
Mr. Westfall moved that the Hawn.
tire Committee be Instructed to prepare
circulars, giving the,atatistics of intem.a
perance in the county and throughout
the State—these circulars to be generally
distributed. ,
131 r. Davidson thought a better plan
would be to send out speakers. The cir
culars in all probability would never be
read, but people could be aroused by

goc:i•to.day as he was ten yearsago, and
wo otedidently look for hilt to pull such
away as to, warrant the large stock of
confidence reposed in him by hundreds
of earnest anisincere backers. Coulter
has strong hopes of winning, and la said
to be in good trim: His confidence and
that of his friends keeps him even, so

Betting 'was - . more -lively.,latif night
than heretofore, and we have beard of
several large sums being put up without

the race willbe a fair dne, and that 'both

more at stake than Coulter, and will use
his very best endeavors to re establish

a choice which meets with universal fa

won the choice of positions by the toss.

race. It is arranged that an eight-oared
boat will row after the Was; in order to
keep an aye On the race and afford wit
'nestles should any foul - occur, an episode
hardly contemplated: Tim occupants of
the boat will be eqnally.divided between
' Hamill'e and Coulter's friends. .
The course for holding the race has
been changed, so that instead of the race
taking place on ,the Monongahela river,
as originally arranged for under the arti
cles of agreement, will be held at Lo
gan's Ferry, on the. Allegheny river, '
The object, p 1 the change is to enable
those immediately interested to secure a

which could not bava been done on the
Monongahela course. (It is rumored
that Hamill protests against the change,
but we could not gain any definite infor
mation on the subject. The matter ap.
pearato be in a meddle just now,) The
rivers are both in - good condition for
the race, and aboulti the weather prove
favorable, a pretty contest may be antic
