A Pemocrat ? or a Rejmblicaa ? With a fixed pur pose to play a bold band ia the game, aad win, if possible, the Democracy said it must be CoCVoth. . Tba first great question with tbem, and cne that wa3 evidently attended with a good deal of crookedness, judging from what their Conferees said, was to. make the selection turn upon the pivot cf availability. Tho promi nent idea was anything to beat the Republican. Fortunately for ud we have no an noying question of that kind; not being; compelled to go around pros pecting for an available candidate. Tha piimary elections and Ccontv 1 Conventions have so definite! and ' satibfactor.lj arranged the whole I matter as to the Uepublican nominee, 1 that our Congressional Conferees 30 will have little to do bnt ofTidallv q! declare our present worthy represen tative, Ueo. uaropueu, aa toe unani moas choice of the party. It is thus oroposcd to mako him his own suc cessor The only unanswered ques tion pertains to the probabilities of his eocceas. And this is a question, in view of the vital intereeta atetake interests of both a local and Na tional character ol the gravest im portance.' VThat, then, is the out look ? 1. The firt tLing favoring' the probability of Lis re-election, is found in bis personal, popularity; which is always sure to give him a good ecud oJ from his own home. Where the (lencra! i o well and favorably knowti u here in Johnstown, he needs no advocacy, nor any word of commendation. As a private citien, his wb' :o life has been that of an nnobtre-tive, but useful member of society, and whatever may be the animua U a few prejudiced, partizans, be, in an eminent . degree, enjoys, not onlv the confidence, but the esteem cf all who know him. His charac ter is so exceptionally free from the blemishes attaching to so many pub lic men, a to challenge the most rigid scrutiny. The knowledge of this fact has contributed largely to bring about the gratifying result of pre senting him to the party as the choice of the district a compliment paid to very few of the members of the pres ent. Congress. The prestige of a good name is no inconsiderable ar gument in favor of success. - 2. The political complexion of the district is unquestionably Republi can ; sufficiently so as to give bim the decided advantage cf the chanc es. Therefyre, nnless there ehould be widespread rli-ta flection, of which there is cow not the remotest indica tion in any quarter, the outlook U ex ceedingly propitious. 3. If it were net that Itjpubiicaare proverbially uugratefal be miht, on the score of efficient services- in - our late war-piatov tbe- almost solid vote of all par tie As it is, his military record eutitlea biro ta tha aaanimous rote of all who bare ever oeea iden tified with the party favoring the preservation of the Union. He re sponded promptly to the call of his country, and proved himself a good soldier and a thoroughly competent of ficer. . 4. In all hia Congressional acts he has pursued a highly honorable course; so much so as not to lay him self open to any just criticism. He has always teen at his post, always re sponded to his name, and has nerer shirked any duty, nor even so much as tried to avoid any legitimate re sponsibility. While not classed with the blustering, 6peech-making mem bers, be has been faithful ta his pub lic trust, and attentive to the wishes and interests of his constituents. No one of any party can com pi tin of either a want of courtesy to Dim per- 4 soaally, or of & neglect of any matter commuted to bis bands. It all these regards it wonld be worse than ae less to try to seek for a better Uep re3entative. On all great National issues he ha planted himself fairly, squarely, and with scarcely an excep tkn, satisfactorily to hi own party, and, in the maia, to the public ia general. He h3 thus furnished abun dant proof that he can be safely trust ed in every emergency. 5. The Greenback Labor move ment, which seem3 to constitute the unknown quantity in our general politics just now, is bot likely to affect Lim so disastrously as it will his Democratic competitor; for in the Orel place, the General has a clear clean record on all matters pertaining to the industrial interests of oar country. Ue was practically acquainted with laborfbr many years, in the toil incident to itt details, as well as in its more general featares he having "wrought with his own hands" until, by reason of industry M skill as an operator, be was recogniz ed aa possessing qnaliGcations for the position of manager or superinten dent. Surely with tuch education, so many years of hard, faithful work, no one can doubt his fitness aa a representative of the laboring class. All hi acts and sympathies clearly identify , him with those who "ears1 their bread by. the sweat cf their face." . Nor hag he ever ' mad speech, uttered a sentiment, or east a in oor miads ye that ouglt to be vote in lis public career conflicting;8-' rv.etlja the 8am8 wi7- :: 1 with the highest good of the toiling .

Dot tho fraud of declaring a silver dollar of 4121 grains to be worth, intrinsically, cne dollar, remained, hence his vole. We only aim, for the present, at a general statement of the facts to show that on the perplexing currency question his action was consistent. ' Lastly, for this time not the least significant item to be noted -ia bis public acts, is the one which has done so much to restore a good degree of harmony to the Republican parly an over the land by closing op one of the most threatening breaches We allude to a happy result and good influence of his interveiew with Pres ident Hayes, which Interview baa been so favorablv referred to and commented upon- by alt leading Republican paper. ; l lo juuicous manner in which it was undertaken and carried out, ia proof of the wisdom of tha action of our National party is assigning htm to eo prominent a place on the National Commitce.

' - The conclusion arrived at is that good character, personal popularity, the present conq icxion of the politics of the Tistrict, soundness cf views on all current question, and faithful, honest service at home, on the field, and in congress, augur well for the General's success, in a word, all the probabilities strongly favor his tri umphant re-election.

During the services a child was brought for bap tism. It may not be generally known that in the Roroaa Catholic ritual. the priest, before touching the child with water, puts a little salt in the water in the presence of the congre gation. The janitor,' however, had prepared the water beforehand, ac cording to his own idea as to the proportion of salt, when tho priest, having emitted to place the salt in readiness, whispered softly to his at tendant: r "Pat, will yon please to get the gait?" Tat responded ia aa audible whis per from behind his hand : "Sure I put it in already."

"Bnt the ritual demands that the priest should perform the eeremonv befortfneeoflgTe;ation," explained Father II , considerably an noyed at the janitor's obtrtiaacy.
