We felt considerably elevate J over the ac
tion of the Democratic Convention held last
week, when we discovered that the delegates
had exhibited a large .share of common K'nse,
in so closely following the recommendation cf
the ,7.frrso7rrjn in nukioir their nomination
UjT representative. 3Ir. KLstler is a good
liKin for the position, proved to be so by bis
straight forward consistent course in behalf
or the interests of his constituents last winter.
This, however, alone would not have secured
to him the nomination, for the party was
halting and did not know what to do until the
.!''. pointed the index boards in the right
direction. Indeed of late years Democracy
b-ird!y feels safe to move hereabouts until it
hi ascertained "what thaJjT. thinks of it,"
aud then every thing rings -of! merrily as a
luaiibige bell.
TI.I-. fall every thing was in a peculiarly
pe:p;e;!o predicament. It is the tirst time
in the history of the count' that Monroe
has been permitted to act a! no in the, selec
tion of a representative. And then so many
of her Democratic sons have been itchiug so
l-;ng to occupy a legislative seat at Harris
burg, and were only prevented from making
ihc'at tempt to do so years ago bcesuso. of the
i:!ae!es required to 1C overcome ir. the other
(unties of the district. Now the coast was
comparatively clear, because, as a nomina
ii"U amounted virtually to an appointment
to too oinoe, the only trouble would be the
se. in ing a sufficient number of delegates to
coiy the convention, and as a consequence
of this the name of the aspirants was legion.
Ar.u.ng those some were good, some indiffer
ent, and some decidedly bad, and as each one
v. as thinking only for himself and neither
giving thought to the rewarding of the faith-
1:t!ii'-s of Mr. Kistler and as the Oriran of
the i )emocracy here is notoriously weak-kneed
::::d is not given to interference for the cor-mtion-cf
wrongs in the party a muddle was
in prospect, until the J'jT. came to the res-i-i:c
mi furnished the solution to the difficul
ty, and led even Democracy to the perfor
mance of an act of justice. Have we not
-ovs to feel proud over the effect of our in-
ten
once
.'oul.
Ccrtainly we have and we do
1: Mr. Kist'cr haing been a good repre-r-eutative
and having been re-nominated by
democrats for re-election at our suggestions
(1 'v's not absolve republicans from the faith
fid performance cf duty to party and princi
ples. Mr. Kistler is a Democrat and an bos
est m m and over this we rejoice in view of
the fact that his election is a moral certainty.
ut there are Republicans who are honest
and capable, and it is plainly our duty to bring
one of these before the people, so that Re
publicans may gather around a representa
tive -f their principles and work for and vote
for him. And this even with defeat staring
us in the face if lor no other reasons then to
se.ure a full vote in favor of our general tick
et, and to secure to ourselves practice in
working and voting against the arrivalof the
day, when as she undoubtedly will, Democracy,
1 rings one of her bold bad men to the front
for promotion to a scat in the legislature.
1 his we conceive to be the part of wisdom,
l.ccau-e we see in it the inauguration of a
course of conduct which nuay in the future
wheel even Democratic Monroe iuto the line
of counties truly loyal, bec-ause supporting
and promoting the beneficent principles
which have really secured to our beloved
country its true greatness.
ubllcaus are not our ideas just and
It will be remembered that the Con
gressional Conferees appointed by the recent
Democratic County Convention for Monroe
were instructed to endeavor to secure the
nomination of the Hon. Charlton Burnett of
this county for Congressmen. We hope their
efforts in that direction may prove successful,
lor Gen. Burnett is, by loug odds by far the
bett man which has been named iu the pa
pers cf the party for the position. Gen.
Burnett is emphatically a Democrat No one
here thinks anything else. He has dignify
of presence in an eminent degree, and is un
deniably a gentleman of probity and talent.
He has had experience in legislation, and
though new to the iutrieacies of the position,
it is patent that when elected to the Senate
some sis years ago he at once took rank
among the leaders of his party in that body.
As manipulator of mere partizaa tactics, we
admit the General is not so successful as some
other, nor is he, as vide the feeling held to
wards, him by the political cjuidnuncs of Car
bon county of that truculent stripe of men
who can please everybody, but this is nothing
to his discredit. He is however possessed of
qualities, that in the halls of Congress would
assure respect for the district, and secure us
the services of an able representative.
UzF" We notice by the last issue of the
Milford IferalJ, that James II. Doney, Edi
tor of the Jlerold, announces himself as an
Tniependcnt candidate for Representative,
from J 'ike county.
SJafThere is- a rumor prevalent, set on foot
by the down country papers, that our neighr
bor of the Democrat is about closing arrange
ments to secure a third interest iu one of the
Allentown dailies. As the consummation of
this project would necessitate his removal to
that locality the news is not pleasant to us,
for not withstanding that neighbor Grcen
wald has his faults, as we all have, lie has
his virtue too, aud our intercourse has been
anything but unpleasant since his advent
among us. Besides should he get away from
here we should be hardly put to, to -find
another candidate for Congress. We hope
he may make up his mind not to go.
E5 Jude Paxsox, our candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court, came into
town on Monday evening last and stopped
at the American Hotel, and remained in
town until 112 o'clock P. M. on Tuesday,
when he left to join his family at Harvey's
Lake, in Luzerne county. While the
Judge was here he was called upon by a
number of our citizens who were well
pleased with the Judge. We are 'gratified
to learn from our exchanges and other sour
ces that the prospect this Fall for an old
fashioned victory for our whole ticket is
exceedingly promising.
tco"" When docs the Democratic Congres
sional Conference meet and wdiere? We
want to know, for we want to be after that
party with a Republican conference, and the
nomination of a good and straight-laced
though cheerful Republican candidate for
Congress. Perhaps the action of the Demo
cratic) conference may so operate upon the
famous 12th ward of Scran tou as to give the
Congressman to us. .Who knows.

Farmers now is the time to begin to make
your selections of grain, fruits, &c, for the

now are that we will have the best fair we
ever had. If we fail it will only be because we
have not all done as we should. Let us
work, from henceforth for success and we
will not fail.
We omitted to mention last week that
Messrs. Wagner & Rhodes have removed

The streams in this vicinity, owing to the
scarcity of rain, are lower now than they
have been before in the recollection of the
oldeit inhabitants. The mills and machincrv
of all kiuds hereabouts, dependent upon wa

time. For want of rain, too, garden crops
are suffering terribly, as are also the corn,
cabbage and late fruit crops.
The excursion for the benefit of Phoenix
Fire Company leaves town at 12 o'clock to
day for New York. We hope a pleasant
time may accrue to the excursionists and an
eucouraging addition be made to the Com
pany funds for the purchase of a team. The
object of the excursion has this grand merit
that it is designed to secure stiil greater effi
ciency to our fire department. And now,
bo3s, after the excursion is over and suffi
cient time allowed for rest, as September has
the letter r in it, which means that oysters are
good, why not inaugurate an oyster festival
for Court week. We want to get the horses
you know, and as there is money in properly
conducted osyter festivals why not enlist the
aid of a festival as a means for securing
the worthy end.

The Stroudsburq Corxet Band. Of
our two bands, this one was selected to play'
at the American Mechanics pic-nic last
Saturday at the Water Gap, and their play
ing was such as to surprise all 'who listened
to them. Quietly, for the past few months
they have been practicing, in fact, they have
been so quiet that many supposed they had
"gone up the spout," but iu their coming
out last Saturday every body, even their
proficient leader, Prof.Moran, was surprised
at the able manner in which they mastered
their most difficult pieces of music. Eich
and every member puts forth every effort to
become a thorough master of his instrument,
and their efforts are certainly worthy of the
most hearty encouragement of our citizens.
In the Stroudsburg Cornet Band, Prof.
Moran and the citizens of Stroudsburg have
an organization they may well be proud of
and one that wiil do them no dishonor. One
rule when out on parade, is, "that no meni-
hcr h allowed to indulge in intoxicating
drinks," aud it is one that deserves the
warmest encouragement. Their gentlemanly
conduct at the Gap won for them a host of
friends and called forth the most flattering
remarks.

The "Ladies Sewing Circle" is in a flour
ishing condition, financially. Three of their
number cooly walked into the Saloon of Mr.
Huffman a Tew evenings ago, cooly called for
a di-hof ice cream, a "fifteen center," cooly
called for three spoons and cooly ate it.
When they were about to cooly pay for it
they found they were four cents short. About
this time "croquet Frank," made his appear
ance and among the party they managed to
scrape up the requisite four cents after which
they went on their way rejoicing. A rising
medical student, enjoying the cuphoneous
name of "croquet Frank," visited East
Stroudsburg one evening last week and did
not return until the "wesma hours" of morn
ing were rapidly passing away. There was
nothing strange in that, but then he said he
had been playing croquet by moonlight. He
had forgotten that the night in question
was dark as blazes. With the approach
of cool weather, the "angels" have disban
doncd, folded their wings and stolen silently
away. We hope, with the return of spring
to see their smiling faces and sylph-like
forms. They console themselves, however,
with the thought, that sweet Williams will
retain their fragrance and freshness through
the cold wintery blasts aud greet them in the
springtime. Not only does Dan Brown
keep an excellent time piece, but he also keeps
delicious musk melons to refresh his custo
mers with. We sampled one last Friday
night and it was excellent. Give him a call.

whispering sweet words of love to the absent
"angels" of the masculine gender, through
the medium of the "mighty pen," last Sun
day afternoon, instead of attending Sunday
school. The "trio" took in forty-seven
gallons of gas one day last week while in a
dentist's office, not twenty miles from Strouds
eurg, just for the fun of it. One of the fair
ones said while under the influence of the gas
she dreamed that a handsome 3'oung man
wa3 kissing her and awoke to find it only too
true. "Fairy Lane," is the name given

it is all right The Scranton ladies would
have added an additional charm to the fes
