COLLINS. Well 1 The Democracy met in in Erie according to contract, and didn't nominate Bigler! That was a cruel blow at the old geutleiunn, who, after having been chased all over the State, and allowed no rest until he gave h;s consent to have his unme go before the convention, to be thrown overboard ! lie was forced out, and then bo was forced back. lie can now give his whole attention to his duties as Centennial Commissioner, which is preferable to spending time and money in the canvass and being beaten in November. On the eleventh ballot Cyrus L. Pershing was nominated for Governor, an J on motion the nomination was made unanimous. r The ballotiug for State Treasurer was then proceeded with. , We take the following in regard to the grand good feeling which reigned during the convention, from the Associated Press reports : : At the conclusion of the first ballot for Treasurer, the Chair said time was needed to inquire into the antecedents of the candidates, and announced a . motion to adjourn, nut it, and declared it carried amid wild shouts and cries of "No" from every part of the house. He took his hat and was hurrying away, when McMullen, of Philadel phia, and several others, leaped upon the stage acd demanded that ho re ' turn aud continue the balloting amid shouts and threats of violence. Mc Mullen held bis stand and forcod the Chair back to the chair. . The Chair then called a division on adjournment, and not one vote was given in the affirmative. Order was at length restored and the ballot pro ceeded with. ' Two ballots wero then taken, with out a nomination. The third ballot proceeded amid much confusion and weak and ineffectual efforts of tho Chair to preserve order. It resulted in the dropping out of most of the weaker candidates. Playford, 54; Noble, 47; Peolette, 123 a majority of all the votes cast. Peolette was then declared the nominee of the Con vention for State Treasurer. The platform was adopted after a good deal of trouble, and, as a prom iuent Democrat of this place says, is calculated to catch the "now-flakes," or loose votes of the State. It was fixed up for that purpose, but will be pretty thoroughly shown up before the election. The party in power is blamed with the hard times, the late rains and the low price of oil. Al though, if any one believes that the platform expresses the feelings of the people, or the candidates, he will find ' himself mistaken. Pershing is a hard money man, running on a greenback platform, and he will probably have as hurd work to explain himself satis factorily as Thurman bus in Ohio. The platform don't "point with pride" to the record of the Democratic House last winter, but coufiues itself to pick ing imaginary flaws with the party in power. If old birds, or even young oues are caught by such chuff, why that's just tlio kind of chuff to catch them with. In the meantime we want to give (bo Democracy all the string they want it will tighten up on them in November. The Doylestoun Democrat, not finding anything in Governor Hart ran ft or hi administration to criticise, 1ms concluded to muke war on the carpets with which tho Executive Mansion is furnished. It is hefty on carpets. Axininster, velvet and Brus sels, and even plaid linen, are cut and sheared with a savagoness that is truly wonderful. Tho looms of England were not constructed to provide car pets for Executive Mansions, and if they were, do they not operate in mon archal countries? Therefore, their pro ducts are tinged with monarchism, and ase dangerous in Republican America. To find them on the floors of an Executive Mansion, what greater proof that the tendency of the Governor is adverse to the plain, sim ple habits of Republican America? There is nothing like getting at the bottom of things. What they think of Judge Pershing in hi Old Home. The Johnstown (Cambria county) Tribune says : "Cyrus L. Pershing, formerly of this place, has been nominated for Gover nor on an inflation platform. This nomination was mudo not because Per shiug was considered the proper roan, but because the friends of the promi nent candidates spoken of could unite on no person who had a political char acter, there are some people here who imagine he will make" a strong candidate, but he has not been so be fore, although he has been benefited by dissensions in his own party, just as he was at Erie last night. He was elected several times a member of the Legislature from this county, but there never was a time within our rec ollection that the Democrats could not elect their nominee, provided he received five-sixths of the party vote. lie has bceu whipped lor Congress, for Judge of the Supreme Court, and for Judge ot the District Court for the southern District of Cambria, by an overwhelming majority, and was only elected Judge ot tbe bchuylkillj Dis trict Curt because there were divi sions in the party there. He has pro fited greatly by office, and is consider ed worth about $75,000, although no man who knows anything about bis practice here believes that it averaged S1.800 a year, and he had no other sources of income except bjs profes sion and his politics. He is u cun ning, close-mouthed little man, who can worm hiiuSelf into more places. say less, do less, aud make more mon ey by this course than any man on the continent. Here bo is considered very thin material." The Next Election. The following points iu regard to voting should be borne in mind, and attended to at once : The New Constitution forbids all persons from voting unless they have paid their taxes at least one month be fore tlm date of the election. No one of foreign birth can vote unless, in ad dition to the above, lis has been nat uralized a month previous to the elec tion. Friday, October 1st, is the last day ou which they can pay taxes. Friday, October 1st, is the last day for taking out naturalization papers. Each of these important duties can be performed any time before the days mentioned. Let our friends see to it that the matter is attended to before it is too late. In Lee county, Georgia, the other day, a hound struck a trail and fol lowed it persistently, but fur a while no ono followed. The hound's long continued absence led to an investiga tion. His trail was followed, and about ten o'clock in the morning, his braying betrayed his whereabouts, aud when the party arrived where the hound was, they found not an otter or a coon, but a darkey treed. The hound had struck his trail, run him down, forced him to take to a tree, and kept him there from ten o'clock at night until ten in the morning. Evidently a dog ot the "good old times," and nniufbrmed of the thir teenth amendment. Co.' Commissioners' Land Sale.
