The Democratic National Conven
tion meets at Chicago on the 8th day
of July.
The Democratic State Convention
of Delaware last week declared in
favor of Bayard for President.
Octside the city, the Republicans
of New York 6eem to be as euthusiae
tic for Blaine and Logan as the Re
publicans are in this State.
It is now stated that Congress
will not probably adjourn until af
iet the middle of July, and it may
potisibly hold on until August.
The St. Paul rionter says the
Democracy is now sitting on top of
a mountain ol broken promises con
sidering what it is best to do next
The Democrats of Cambria Coun
ty have instructed for F. A. Shoe
maker, Esq., for Congress, and are
relying on the vote of their Somerset
brethren for him.
"The Republicans of Massachu
setts have too much hay in the stack
to set fire in the grass," is the pow
erful way in which Murat Halsted
tate8 the question.
The bill restoring General Fitz
John Porter to the army has finally
passed both Houses of Congress.
It now remains with the President
to determine his iuture.
Illinois and Maine in 1SG0 fur
nished the first successful Republi
can ticket Lincoln and Hamlin'
and now reversing the order of
things, Maine and Illinois furnish
the winning ticket this year.
Bayard's boom is somewhat
checked by a secession speech he
made at Dover, Del., during the
early 6tages of the war. Why this
is so, is difficult to determine, as his
Democratic brethren all stood in
with him then.
There has been no campaign lor
years where the " boys " were so
anxious to begin the fight. They
can hardly wait until the Democrat
ic candidates are in the field. All
over the land clubs are. forming and
organization is being perfected.
The Republican State Convention
of Indiana last week nominated
Hon. W. II. Calkins for Governor,
and put up a strong State ticket
As Indiana will be one of the strong
ly contested States, our friends have
put forward their best men. and
without much doubt will be able to
elect them.
The Des Moines lttyittcr reminds
those Democrats who are asserting
that Mr. Blaine is u the easiest man
in the Republican party to beat "
that he has never been beaten in a
political contest since the time he
entered public life in 1S58. He was
twice elected to the Maine Legisla
ture, t seven times to Congress, and
once appointed and once elected to
the Senate.
We do not quite understand the
logic of those Republicans who be
lieve that they can support the party
by defeating its nominees. A. )'.
Tribune.'
That was precisely what we didn't
understand in the campaign two
years ago, when the Tribune gave its
influence to defeat the fairly and
unanimously nominated candidate
of the Pennsylvania Republicans for
Governor. These chickens come
home to roost Kicking was just
as inexcusable then as now.
The old cock-and-bull story of
Logan's original intention to 6ide
with the rebels is being repaired for
use in th Democratic cause. But
the Philadelphia Timet, while oppos
ing Blaine and Logan, gives its
Democratic friends the following
warning on this point :
. "There is a disposition among the
Democratic organs to make much
of the fact that Logan went into the
Union army instead of the other
one. They had better be careful
how they find fault with Logan for
sticking to the old Hag, or the Re
publican organs will say the Demo
cratic organs would have liked him
better if he had gone into the Con
t federate army, as they allege he
thought of doing. They may find
fault with hira for his disloyalty to
the King's English without laying
themselves open to any such attack,
but any slurs upon Logan's army
record will recoil upon them with
terrible force. The gun kicks harder
than it shoots."
Ox Tuesday of last week the Re
publican nominations at Chicago
were ratified by a rousine meeting
at Washington. Senator Hawley
called the meeting to order, and
speeches Were made by Senator
Sherman, William Walter Phelps,
Senator Mahone, Senator Harrison,
General Hawley, Fred. Douglass,
and other prominent men. The en
thusiasm was 6imply tremendous.
The Nashville American asserts
that if the Democratic party declares
in its convention in favor of free
trade, Tennessee will cast her elec
toral vote for Blaine and Logan.
The Chicago Convention dare not do
it The delegates will talk all around
it and word their platform bo as to
read between the lines or any way
to avoid a plain confession of " hori
zontal " principles.
THEe Union army never stacked
arms and laid down and squealed
because a few cowards deserted, and
the Republican army won't do it
now. No Republican who loves the
principles of the party can give a
good reason for deserting the stand
ard in 1SS4. The man who refuses
to abide by the decision of the ma
jority honestly expressed should not
beloDg to a church or a social or po
litical organization of any kind.

Interview with Colonel Alex.
McClure: When President Arthur
retires he will take with him the re
spect and esteem of the entire coun
try, opponents as well as partisans,
and in a greater degree than any
President we have had in half a cen
tury. Lincoln did not serve his
time out, Jackson was hated, Pierce
and Polk amounted to nothing, but
Arthur, of whom much less was ex
pected, has absolutely the confidence
and regard of the whole American
people.
The death of the venerable Bishop
Matthew Simpson, which occurred
last week, is a loss not only to the
great denomination with which he
was so prominently identified, but
aloo to evangelical Christianity at
large. Perhaps no divine of his
eminence has been so successful in
rising above the bigotry of sectarian
ism or so widely known and revered
outside of his own denomination
Of him it could truly be written
that he loved his fellow-men. and
left the world better than he found
it
Mr. Geobge V. Ci rtis, of New
York, and his crowd of Indeptn
dents, organized last week, chose
Mr. Curtis, Chairman, named their
organization the " Independent Re
publican Committee," and issued a
circular inviting all opposed to
Blaine and Logan to send represen
tatives to a meeting to be held im
mediately after the Democratic Con
vention, which meeting is to deter
mine whether they will support the
Democratic ticket or put up candi
dates of their own.
This means mischief, but we think
the " anything to beat Blaine and
Logan " cry will not prove a formid
able campaign cry.
At the New York Democratic
State Convention, held at Saratoga
last week, delegates to the National
Convention were chosen. Governor
Cleveland has 41 to 31 against him.
Under the unit rule in force in that
State, this will give Cleveland the
entire 72 votes to which the State is
entitled. This gives the Governor a
good send-off, and makes him the
probable candidate for President,
as New York is conceded to be the
pivotal State Other States are rap
idly tumbling into line for him
since he carried his own State. It
takes a two-third vote to nominate,
however, and the Governor may not
pull through, although he 6tarts out
so well.
No sensible Republican will give
credit to the talk of the mischief-
makers about rings, combinations
and slates among the candidates at
this primary election.
This same kind of gabble has
been used at every election for the
past twenty years, and yet no man
can truthfully say that he ever had
any evidence of a ring existing in
this county.
The cry is mere clap-trap to scare
the timid. It never did any candi
date harm or good, and no sensible
man ever took stock in it. Republi
cans should go to the polls, vote for
the men of their choice, and let the
blatherskites howl themselves hoarse
over tbeir nnamnarv Tines and
cliques.
Senator Camkuox, of Pennsylva
nia, last week, by request, intro
duced in the Senate a bill to amend
the pension laws, identical in its
provisions with one reported favora
bly to the House from the Commit
tee on Invalid Pensions by Mr. Mat
son, of Indiana. It provides that
all persons on the pension roll, and
all persons hereafter granted a Deri
sion, who, while in the military or
naval service of the United States
and in line of duty have lost an arm
or a leg, shall be entitled to a pen
sion of $40 per month ; that those
who have lost a hand or foot shall
be entitled to a pension ol $30 per
month, and if they have received a
wound or wounds or other disability
in addition thereto shall be entitled
to $50 per month ; that all persons
who have had a leg amputated at
the hip-joint, and all persons who
have lost an arm at the shoulder-
joint, shall be entitled to $50 per
month, and that all persons who
have lost an arm and a leg shall be
entitled to $72 per month.
The maimed 6oldiers, whose pen
sions it is thus proposed to increase
should, if the bill becomes a law,
feel very kindly to Mr. Cameron for
his action in their behalf. j
Principles and not icen, should
control all true Republicans. Had
Arthur or Edmunds been chosen at
Chicago, the Blaine men would have
been expected to support them, and
so now, all good Republicans whose
first choice was not Mr. Blaine
should do as they would have wish
ed to be done by. The pestiferous
doctrine that lead3 to bolting and
kicking should have no recognition
among upright men. Old-fashioned
honesty formerly required, gentle
men who went into conventions to
other, to abide bv the decision of
o -
the majority, but the new doctrine
of independence apparently teaches
that majorities have no rights that
minorities are bound to respect.
They can play fast and loose just as
it suits them. Mr. George W. Cur
tis who was a delegate in the Chica
go Convention, has adopted and
preached these views. Our lathers
would have said Mr. Curtis was not
a man of honor.
In the Presidential battle, so soon
to be joined, Republicans should
take high cround on the principles
of the party, and not look on it a3 a
matter of preferences for men. Love
of principle should always guide
men in the discharge of high duty.
It 13 allegiance to party which has
civen this country the blessings of
Republican rule for almost a quarter
of a century.
Great principles are yet at issue
and unsettled, and fifty millions of
people are deeply concerned in their
proper adjustment. Every honest
method should be used to secure
the election of our candidates. Let
the Independents sulk in their
tents if they will ; but the bone and
sinew of the party, who have always
stood in the front rank, will make
this fight, and will win, if honest en
deavor can assure succ3ss. The self
ish and over-virtuous skulkers who
forsake the standard now, and would
rather see it driven back, and the
standard of Democracy raised in its
stead, than to abate one iota of their
pretentious claim to dictate to the
party, will only earn the healthy
contempt of honest men, and we
sincerely believe be overwhelmed
in the disastrous defeat which will
overtake their Democratic allies in
November next.
The Ilarrisburg Patriot last week
printed an alleged interview with a
well-known Republican of Harris
burg, telling how Blaine was defeat
ed for the Presidential nomination
at Cincinnati, in 1S7(. It was to
the effect that after the sixth ballot
the Pennsylvania delegates, who
had up to this time voted for Hart-
ranft, withdrew for consultation,
Just as a speech of the late Morton
McMichael seemed to have settled
matters in Blaine's favor, William
II. Kemble, of this city, arose and
said that he had paid Mr. Blaine
$7,500 for a certain ruling in the
House of Representatives $5,000,
th6 price at first agreed upon, in one
check, and $2,500, an additional
sum demanded by the Speaker, in
another check. Mr. Bergner is
represented a3 going on to say that
Mr. Kemble exhibited the checks,
which had been returned in the reg
ain course of business, with Mr.
Blaine's indorsement, and that the
disclosures, together with the ocular
evidence accompanying, had the
effect of stampeding the delegates
troni Blaine to Hayes.
The story has since been denied
by Mr. Bergner, its reputed parent;
by William II. Kemple, whom it is
charged exhibited the checks, and
by numerous other members of the
delegation who were at Cincinnati
at the time. The editor of this
journal, who was a delegate, can
also bear testimony to the utter un
truthfulness of the story. He was
present at every meeting of the del
egation : knows that no such state
ment was made by Mr. Kemble;
that no checks were exhibited and
never heard of the alleged transac
tions, either at Cincinnati or else
where. The entire story as publish
ed by the Patriot is a monstrous
falsehood, utterly devoid of trulh.
Gen. Lxigan'a Mail.
Washington, June IS. Standing
in the postollice of the Senate now
adays one sees a peculiar perform
ance on the part of the distributing
clerks. Each mail brings a volum
inous correspondence, which is us
ually divided into proportions com
mensurate with the prominence of
the Senators. Now, however, one
sees the clerks throw about eveiy
third letter in one Senator's box,
and that one is the box of Senator
Logan. When inquiry is made
how this tremendous mass of cor
respondence is read and replied to,
if any response in given, it is found
that besides his regular clerk and
private secretary, Senator Logan has
been compelled since his nomina
tion to employ two stenographers.
All of these are kept busy and many
of the more important letters are
answered bv Mrs. Logan and the
General. The letters are almost in
variably from old soldiers convey
ing congratulations and assurances
of support or risking some favor. In
accordance with a rule adopted
when he entered public life and
closely followed ever since, General
Logan anwers promptly every let
ter he receives. At this time, how
ever, he has a fair prospect of being
overwhelmed.
An Answer Wanted.

Blaine and Ixgn Inception.
Elsworth Mc June 17. To-night '
a crowd of people gathered at Hand
cock Hall, filling it overflowing. The
Reception Committee, accompanied
by a band of music preceded Blaine
Logan and Hale from the residence of
the latter to the hall, where a grand
reception was held, hundreds shak
ing hands with the illustrious vis
itors. At 9 the populace went tolgulf.
the residence of Senator Hale, where
Blaine and Logan were received with
cheers.
Mr. Hale, after brief remarks, pre
sented the Hon. James G. Blaine,
who said he had many causes for
creat Gratitude to the people of
Me., for many years for their friendly
support and confidence, but he nev
er was so profoundly touched as he
had been by the manner in which
he had recently been-received by all
classes, and he might say all parties
in the State of Maine, for he had to
recognize besides the friendship of
his own political associates the cour
tesy and kindness manifested by
those who had in the past been op
posite to him politically.
Whatever may be the issue of the
pending campaign, of which it would
indeed be unbecoming in him to
speak, he could say that by the peo
ple of Maine he has in this supreme
crisis in his public career been al
ready sustained in a manner that
gives him intense satisfaction.
Continuing, he said : "There is,
after all, an embarrassment in addres
sing those whom one has been asso
ciated with for many long years on
intimate teims. My esteem is not
sufficiently developed to make me
think this vast assemblage has
come together so much to see me as
my gallant associate on the regular Re
publican ticket, General Logan. Asa
final response and my thanks to your
most generous attention, I will pre
sent to you the gallant hero from
Illinois. Loud cheers and ap
plause. gen. Logan's remarks.
Gen. Logan said : Ladies and gen
tlemen, I am very much gratified in
deed to meet so many citizens of this
beautiful city to-night I have also
been very much pleased in passing
through" your proud State to find
the kindly feeling that exists in re
ference to your fellow citizen and
neighbor, Mr. Blaine. Applause and
cheers. It is said that a prophet it not
without honor 6ave in his own coun
try, but I must say that the reverse
of this is true in Maine, concerning
him of whom I have spoken. The
people of this country, under one
form of Government, have and claim
the right to express their views on
any question, and also to choose
whom they wish to represent them
in any capacity. This is true of the
convention recently held in Chica
go. No one doubts it gave expres
sion to the voice of the people ia an
nouncing in unmistakable terms
that a citizen of your State is their
choice for the highest office in their
gift. Applause. To question this
now is to say the majority shall not
control, but that the minority shall
dictate nominations. The people ot
this country know what they want
and also why they want. In my
judgment they want a man capable
of perlorming the duties ot the po
sition intelligently ; a man who will
understand the needs and wants of the
a man who has knowledge of aud
experience in connection with the
affairs of the Government. They
want a man who understands the
diversified interests of this great
people, and who will use all proper
means for their protection and suc
cess; a man who know? the wants
of the masses and needs of the la
borer, and will use all his power and
lnlluence for those wants and inter
ests ; a man that is conversant with
our commercial relations with foreign
nations, and a man that realizes that
a creater outlet is needed lor our
surplus products: a man who can
and will in a proper manner estab
lish relations belween our sister
Republics of Mexico and South
America that will enlarge our com
merce with them : a man who un
derstands what American manhood
is, and who'will in a proper way
make a citizen of the United States
feel a pride in being a citizen, that
he will receive proper protection
both at home and abroad, My
fellow citizens, the people of this
country want a man that will not
only support and sustain their Con
stitution, but will faithfully
and conscientiously execute
the laws in all parts of the land.
Applause and cheers Believ
ing that American people want
a man of the character I describe, I
may now nay that such a man has
been found in the person of James
G. Blaine. Loud cheers. Fellow
citizens, when the ides of Novem
ber shall come, the people of this
great Republican will give notice
to the world that they have made
him President of the United States.
Great applause. I do not hesitate
to say that I feel honored in being-
associated with this, your honored
citizen, on a ticket for the two high
est officers in the gift of the Ameri
can people. Great applause.
Cnrtls and His Crowd.
Nf.w York. June 20. The Inde

action may be necessary to secure
candidates who will appeal to the
interests of clean and honest politics
and the sober, honest sense of the
American people."
Injured by Dynamite.
Washington, June 22. Last
night an explosion of dynamite oc
curred at Brady's Tunnel on the
Hempfield extension of the B. & O.
li, R., a mile .east of Washington.
Two Irishmen, one of them named
Roger Kane were seriously and like?
jy ktally injured. A blast had been
set and not going oil at the proper
time the workmen entered the 4un

a concussion occurred. Kane's nose
and cheekbone were broken, besides
he lost one eye and was otherwise
injured. The other party also had
an eye destroyed aud was seriously
cut and bruised about the body. .
A Story From a Skeleton.
Bi'ffalo, June 17. The Buffalo
Field Club were enjoying a picnic
Saturday at Pipe Creek Gulf, quite
a picturesque spot about a mile East
of the village of West Falls, fourteen
miles from this city, when two or
three of the boys in the party came
across a human skeleton in & seclu
ded spot on the East bank of the
About three years ago John Mc
Millan, a farmer, went to the black
smith Ehop in West Falls to get
some repairing done, and acciden
tally left his pocket-book, contain
ing nearly $70, lying on a bench in
the shop. The blacksmith's boy
found it and conveved the news to
another boy, named Parker. They
went to South Wales about five
miles distant, and had a spree the
next day ; but it was soon discover
ed that the money belonged to Mc
Millan, and part of it was returned
to him. Threats of arresting the boys
were made, and Parker's father and
brother gave him a severe scolding.
Young Parker was very nervous, and
started toward tte woods and never
returned.
It is plain now that he deliberate
ly committed suicide by hanging.
The size of the skeleton corresponds
with that of the boy, who was
about 17 years old, and the old rope
still hangs in the tree beneath which
the body was found. A portion of
the trousers still clung to the skele
ton, 8 jack-knife and$l,G5 in uione7
were found in the pocket A pair of
pearl cuff buttons were also found,
which have been identified as the
property of young Parker.
A Farmer's Overpowering Ijove.
Wilkes-Barre, June 17. Joseph
Dymond, aged twenty eight, a far
mer, living about eight miles from
the city, committed suicide on Sun
day evening by shooting himself
through the heart with a double
barrel breech-loading gun. His
brother lives on the same farm with
his wife and her sister. Rose Caven
augh, a girl about eighteen. Dy
mond was passionately in love with
this girl, but his suit was encouraging
by the other members of the family
on Sunday, yielding to the wishes of
her friends, Rose definitely refused to
accept his advances. Dymond
seemed to take it greatly to heart.
He retired early, but about eleven
o'clock arose, got his gun, and after
loading both barrels, went in to the
kitchen, and placing the muzzle to
his left breast, pulled the trigger
with his toe. The explosion awak
ened the family, and his brother
rushed into the room to find the un
fortunate man lyins: in a pool of
blood. lie had just strength enough
left to raise himself in a sitting pos
ture, and with the words "Rose,
Rose," he fell over dead.

Statement
From lliester
Friends.
Clyiucr's
Reading, June 19. Friends of the
family of the late Hiester Clymer
authorize the following statement
relative to his death : "Mr. Clymer
was in bad health, suffering from
malaria, profuse night sweats and
insomnia. He used narcotics in
quantities which inordinary health
would only have produced sound
sleep, but which in his debilitated
condition produced paralysis of the
brain, and hurried his death. 1 here
will be no judicial inquiry, and the
body will not be exhumed. There
is no truth in the report of Mrs, Cly
raor's dangerous illness.

A Cowboy Battle.
FortMcLeou, Northwest Terri
tory, June 10. "Shorty," a South
Piegan Indian, and member of the
Indian police, arrived her in search
of a horse stolen bv the North Pie-
trans, lie said mere nao oeen a
er -! II.. -
, big
fight below Joe Kipp's place between
cowboys and Cree Indians, with fa
tal resulUs. The cowboys were on
the "round-up," when they came to
a party of five Cree Indians butch
ering a cow. As soon as they saw
the cowboys, four of the Indians ran
away, but one, bolder than the rest,
walked toward then. One of the
cowboys went out from the rest to
meet this Indian and, when he goi
near enough, pulled his sixshooter
and fired at him. The Indian wa3
hit pretty badly, and dropped. He
then raised himself to a sitting post
ure and fired at the cowboy, whom
he hit in the breast. The cowboy
was fatally wounded, but while dy
ing fired four or five shots into the
Cree, who was killed. The other
cowboys, who bad been watching
the fight in the distance, went after

encounter took place. The Indians
took refuge in a coolie and threw up
breastworks. The cowboys tried to

Ltost in the Arctic Regions.
London, June 18. While the
whaler Chieftain was recently fishing
off the coast of Greenland four boats
were despatched in pursuit of a
school of whales. A dense fog arose
w hile the bonts were away from the
ship, and their crews, after searching
two days, were unabled to discover
the ship. They were only supplied
with two days' provisions and water,
and, in an exhausted condition, en
deavored to reach Iceland, 200 miles
distant.
A tempest arose and the boats
weae separated. The cold was in
tense and only one boat had readied
the land after six days at sea. The
men were in an emaciated and thor
oughly exhausted condition, their
only nourishment being from the
sucking of ice. It is feared that the
other three boats, containing fifteen
men, are lost. Only seven men were
left on board the Chieftain, and great
anxiety is felt for her fate also.

physicians diagnosed as leprosy,

to handling the carrion. When he
first became aware that he had the
loathesome disease he went to New

eminent physicians and placed him
self under their treatment They
afforded him no relief and he grad
ually became worse. Aware of the
inability of the inability jof the phy
sicians to cope with th incurable
disease, he returned toi his home
here. He consulted yatious physi
cians, but could obtain np relief. In
February last he becauje desperate
and determined to put aji end to his
life, but was prevented Jrom so do
ing by Ins relatives, te repeated
this attempt several timxs, but was
so closely watched thai his efforts
were futile. Once he boarded a ferry
boat, and when the vt-el was m
mid-stream he leaped ovirboard, but
boats were lowered, andjhe was res
cued and taken to the Clarity Hos
pital, where he remaine J until death
relieved him. His liml were terri
bly distorted, and his lice swollen
until his most intimate fiends could
scarcely have recognizee:

Gared to Death.
New Winchester, 0., June 18.
John Meyers, an old and respected
farmer of this county and one of the
wealthiest, met with a horrible
death on his farm six miles north of
here. He was endeavoring to lead
a vicious bull when the enraged
animal attacked him fiercely, and
gored him so terribly that his
bowels and intestines came out.
No one was near to assist Mr. Mey
ers, and the vicious brute tore him
almost to pieces.
Hay Fever.
For twenty-five years I have been
severely afflicted with Hay Fever.
While suffering intensely I was in
duced, through Mr. Tichenor's tes
timonial, to try Ely's Cream Balm.
The effect was marvelous. It en
abled me to perform my pastoral
duties without the slightest incon
venience, and I have escaped a re
turn attack. I pronounce Ely's
Cream Balm a cure for Hay Fever.

S.OOO Miner Idle.
Pittsburgh, June 18. The strike
of the coal miners in the Mononga
hela Valley has spread to nearly
every pit in the four pools and about
5,000 miners are now idle. The
operators say they cannot afford to
pay three and a-half per bushel, the
prices demanded for mining, and
predict that the men will return to
work at the old wageg in less than
two weeks
I can recommend Ely'a Cream
Balm to all Hay Fever sufferers, it
being, in my opinion, founded upon
experience, a sure cure. I was af
flicted with Hay Fever for twenty
five years, and never before found
permanent relief. Webster II. Has
