John Patton for Congressman-At-Large, Gaueral Patton is well known through out the State as a staunch Ropublican ud a liberal hearted gentleman. Ills popularity was well attested when he rau for Congress in the Old Dis inci agaiqsi dames jv. Kerr, whom he defeated In a district largely Dem ocratic, by a handsome majority. His faithful and efficient services in the famous Thirty-seventh Congress aloog with Thaddeus Stevens, Galusha A Grow, Honest John Covode and oth ers are well remembered by his con stituents. The Convention also gave Jame G. Blaine a flatteriug notice of its intentions. Judge Mehard was renominated by the Mercer County Democrats yes terday. As a Republican will be elected, Judge Mehard's term of office being merely the unexpired mouths o the late Judge McDerraitt's term will be a short one. As the argument io favor of re electing judges of long experience doesuot apply in Judge Mehard s case, there is no good reason why a Republican should not be elec ted by a large majority. The Democrat clans meet in liar risburg to-day to noaiinate their fal -victims, and pass treacheious tariff evolutions.. More on That Situation. The article in our last issue had the effect to stir up the "ringsters" in a livelier macner than we had anticipa ted. They don't like the idea of hav ing their little piece of trickery, by which they are conniving to run the honest Greenback voters into the Democratic trap, shown up in its true light. They have the couceit to think that all they have to do is to give two or three yelps of "fraud and re firm" and every body will "chip in'' and help it along. They don't stop to think that honest people and hon est voters will consider where these cries and inuendos come from before they take any stock in them, and, finding that they are but the naviugs of two or three political tricksters who have done nothiog in politics all their lives but that has been very strongly tainted with the worst kind of bossism, and who are only working to get a set of officials whom they can handle and make uso of as their own property, they will hurl them back into their teeth with sneers and con tempt. The boss of the Common wealth attempts to answer our article, and how does he do It? Why, by simply trying to justify his course of fusion with and adoption of Demo cratic principles, by stating that the Republicans in some parts deir knows where have fused with the Greenbackers. This embodies about all there is in his reply to justify his course. The "manager" also says in anothor place that "there are a few persons who call themselves Greenbackers, who won't vote the ticket this Fall." Yes, yes 1 a few who call themselves, etc. Well, this insult means, we sup pose, that those who won't stand up to the rack and take the dose as the bosses have prepared it for them, are not Greenbackers, and he there fore reads them out of the party. Only a short time ago, according to this same boss it was a political crime for any member of the party to vote anything but the straight Greenback ticket; now, the honest voter who dares to offer a protest against the new system of bossism is sneered at as a "simon pure Greenbacker." Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel. But, he goes on to say, "we have entered into a business transaction." Aye aye 1 a business transaction, whereby we propose to parcel out the offices to suit our own ideas I and be might have added, "in order to carry out the plan as we have laid it down, we have taken the matter out of the hands of the people, without their consent, and placed it in the hands of a few delegates, where we can ban- cue u, ana nominate just such tellows as we want, and that will do our bid ding." lhese setf-coustituted bosses have thrown over-board their former system of nominating candidates by the pop ular vote of the people, and adopted the obnoxious machine method of nominating by delegates, which all know is the most dangerous and un fair of all systems, and only advoca ted by pihtical tricksters. This change, too, was made in direct vio lation of their rules which provide that all changes must be made "by the return judges as they may be io structed by the people at their prima ry meeting," fcc. The Commonwealth makes reference to the associate judges aud says they are above suspicion. This is a fact ; we know them to be houorable and square men, both of them, and so does every other unbiased person who knows tbem, but it seems that the National Democrat, J. M. Kepler'i paper, has other views on the subject lis is shown by an article published in that sheet on December 7tb, last, only four months ga. YJia following is the tern from the Democrat of that date ; The "Greenback Reform" (?) Asso ciates oodges approved a bill of two days pay for the court crier at the last term of argument court, the session lasting Irom 2 oclock to 7 p. m We understand that this is not the first bill of the kind approved by these "reiorm- (7) associates. La boring men who toil ten and twelve hours a day, for half the wages of the court crier, and then contribute to pay him two days for less than five hours service, should be greatly en couraged to shout for "greenbackers and reiorm. The above item is mean and con temptible, and is only one of the many slurs thrown out by, that sheet against honest officials. It simply shows bow fur a political demagogu will go to find fault ; what mountains can be made from mole-hills. And yet this is the man whom the self appointed bosses have "entered into a business transaction" with; the man whom the honest voters are asked to fuse with, and help to elect to office such men as he may dictate, perhaps himself; the man whom these two associate judges and their friends are asked to enter in politics with ; the mau who, more than any other, has abused and cursed the Greenback parly and many of its individual members. How will the honest, con sistent voters take it? They will say, 'not any in our dish, please." And the ringsters cry "reform." Reform what? Until this "business transaction" was "entered into" by these bosses we never heard a solitary charge of mis-management in our county affairs, except by the Nation al Democrat, and then never against Republican official. How does orest county stand financially to day? Not a dollar of liabilities, and over thirteen thousand dollars of assets! A tax levy of only five mills on the dollar the smallest it has ever been before I Does this not give the lie to the demagogic cry of mis-management I Is there another county in the broad State of Pennsyl vania that can make anything like as good a showing? The old ciy of stop, thief! is entirely too old a trick for honest, thinking people. If you know of any fraud the best way is to show it up. And while you are rummaging around for evidence be careful you don't run r gainst a "cir cumstance ;" be careful yeu don't butt your brains out against a solid wall. As between the tew tricksters who are blowing loudest for reform, and the county officials, who are above re proach, we 11 see whose characters and official acts will siand the most over hauling. ' 1 Dn. Edward B. Fqote as a repre sentative of Eclectic Medicine, as a writer of popular medical literature, and as a physician stands prominent, and is, perhaps, throughout the world, better known by his writiugs than any other medical writer who has di rected his teachings to the people rather than the profession. Boru and raised among Connecticut settlers, on the "Western Reserve" iu Ohio, he early began the work of many self- made meu. blurting at the see of sixteeu as "printer's devil" iu a news paper othce, he worked his way to the editorial chair, and was severally con nected with the mot prosperous week ly (of its time) iu Connecticut, and the first successful morning paper of moowyn, JN. X., but his main im pulse had always been toward the sturiy of medicine, aud to this end business enterprises were sacrificed until an apprenticeship with u noted botanical specialist, and a course of study finishing with graduation, found bim prepared to follow out the bent of bis life to its completion. He was among the earliest of those who advocated the publication of anatom ical, physiological and hygienic books tor the masses, and his success in writing interesting and popular books has been conspicuous. His first and best kuowu book, entitled "Medical Common Sense, reached a circulation of 250,000 copies, probably because ot its originality and novelty in a new held; aud his subsequent writings have been maiuly in the same line, "science in btory having been writ ten for the purpose of affording a reaaaoie dook ior cniidren, and one which should make plain to their comprehension the facts which be con sidered it uecessary for them to know concerning their own bodies.

This is probablo true, also, of the original of this portrait. Ills most radical thoughts were published in his first work, written before he Mas twenty nine vears of age, and though his pen is uever long idle, bis first success has not yet been equalled by subsequent work, though his "Plain Home Talk." a revision and enlargement of "Med ical Common SenBe," seems likely in time to obtain a circulation rivalling that of its predecessor. In practice Dr. Fpote boa always been independent, progrensive and or iginal, always a foe of old fogyism and trade-unionism in medicine; once a disc:ple of the old Thouipsonian bo -I TO MAKE -A IT.

Ho has been activoly ergaged in the practice of his profession for thirty years, aud as the portrait given herewith is from a recent photograph, hard work ap pears to agree with bun, and he looks equal to twenty years more of it.
