Democratic convention.
Under the delegate system there is
no free and fall etprrssioo of tbe peo
ple, ho, it is nut possitle to get free
expression under each a system as tbey
have. Tbeir managcaient in this conn
ty under tbe delegate system is of the
most unsatisfactory kind to their own
people. -You kuojr bow it is, you know
bow tbey manipulate tbe affair ; their
party is represented by 25 to 30 peo

elections.
They manage or run the school di

Let us no longer put op with such
attacks.

There are no things more sacred

There are ether matters of moat seri

There is a un story connected witb

KeITHEX C-iVESV,
The candidate for the office of Keg
ister and ffecerder, like 3Jr Kelly, is a.
native of Jauinta. county, and is in
everv way qualiSed to dUclmge De
duties of the important office for which
be bas been nominated. He is a mar
ble cutter by trade, and a first rate
neighbor, a pleasant friend, and in a
large measure enjoys f.be coriui?oce of
those among whom he lives as is evi
denced by the fact that be bas been
holding the office cf Trustee in the cnn
gregation of Lost Creek Presbyterian
Church a number of years. Mr. Cav
eny's management of the office of Keg-ist-r
and Recorder will prove itself to
lie highly satisfactory to the people of
Juniata county.
Captain Jons P. Wharton.
The nominee for the office of Jury
Commissioner, is a native of Tuscarora
vallev. where for manv vears be was
engaeed at farming, till he was called
to discbarge the duties of the effice of
Register and Hecorder. He has bad
experience as a soldier, having led, as
captain, a company of nine month's
aueu from t'.ia tis native county agaiost
rebellion in August 1862. ' On the ex
piration of the term of enlistment be
returned to Lis native county and bas
lived ouitely atuoitg bis neighbors and
friends up to the present time. He
will make a most excellent officer in
tbe place for which be bas been chosen
by bis fellow citizens.
The Convention
Fpeedily did :ts work, in a quiet aud
business like mar.nr. In its deport
ment it was in direct contrast to tbe
Convention of the Democracy tbat met
iu the same place not long since. Its
harmony is ominous of success. Tbe
rebuke lLat the Chairman administered
to the reckless charges tbit were made
in the Democratic Convention was most
opportunely sent back to those who
luade tbe cbargrs, and the measure of
the management of tbe Democracy
clearly revealed in livicg colors.
Eepublican County Convention.
On Monday, at 2 o'clock p. m., tLe
Ju'l-rcs feltxted On Saturday, to count
the vot. and announce the result of
the Primary Election of the Repub
lican party of Juniata county, which
was held on Satnrduy. August 2, 1879,
met iu Con ention in the Court House
and transacted their liUMneKS.
The Convention was called to order
liy John T. bourse, Chairman of the
County Committee.
AV. H. Crroringer was nominated.
nuJ without oj'xfiitiou was elected
President of Ihe Convention.
J. G. Haltijuian aud William Fry
were nominated and elected without
a J:"5.-ciitin(,' voice, as Secretaries.
Mr. Groningt r on taking the chair
delivered a speech. He said
Geullemen of the Convention, I
tbaok ou for the complimeut that you
have paid me by electing me to preside
over this body of return judges.
It is a custom among men, for tbe pre
feidiug officer of a convention when elect
ed, to foreshadow in a speech tbe course
ino?t likely to be pursued. 1 will not pre
sume to make such a speech, aud would
not think of passing a remark except
ing to thank you, if it were cot for tbe
ftct th: tbe late Democratic Conven
tion assailed tbe Republican organiza
tion most bitterly, and brought our
party mto dispute for its system.
One of the delegates of tbe late Dem
ocratic convention made a broad attack
on the system bow employed ty the
Republicans to nominate it candi
dates, lie said that it results in bring
ing forward minoritv candidates; that
is not true. Every candidate th&t the
Republican party bas put in nomination
kino? the system was adopted by tbe
people bas been a majority candidate,
and such baa been tbe case in every
place where it bas been in use.
The system tbat tbe Republicans
nominate under is one hi which tbe peo
ple rule. Tbe same power that on Sat
urday gave three additional amend
ments can change it, bat no other pow
er. But such is not the case with tbe
Delegate system under which the men
whj obarfe so fuxioufllv on the Repub-
record.
Tbe leaders of tbe party under which
sach thins have taken place are now
bringing toe party whip to bear on such
as are believed to have an intention of
voting for a change.
Gentleman 1 again thank you for tbe
honor coofered aud aunouuee tbe con
vention as ready for business.
Upon Ihe conclusion of the Ppeech
the naujes of the JmLres, with cre
dentials and list of votel s, weie call

Resohin, That the Republican party of
Juniata county stands to-day, as it has ever
done, tha friend and and defender of the
NaiUmal Lmon, and henco cannot view
with any other feelings than those of alarm
the insiduous and despicable attempts that
are being made by tlm so-called Democratic
parly, which is for the time being accident
ally in power in both branches ol Congress,
to abrogate or nullify all the legi.-lation
iiiade imperative for the preservation of the
Union, during the Kenellion, thus aiming to
secure bv legislation what the rebel failed
to accomplish by war. It endorses Ihe wise
and patriotic administration of President
Hayes, made more especially conspicuous
by his several vetoes of ihe ill-advised and
ncrnicious lecis".tion, manufactured hy the

And now we Lave it again, in the
information tbat a pre-historic forti
fication has been discovered in the
woods near Mushannon creek, in Cen

The National Educational Associa
tion held sessions last week in Phila
delphia. .
The French European project to
canal the isthmus of Darien is awaken
ing an uncommon interest m this
country, and so fax as an expression
has been heard, Americans are deter
minedly opposed to the allowing of
European governments geiung con
trol of so important a rout of travel
and commerce on the American con
tinent.
A report had got abroad in Europe
that the Hayes Administration does
not look disprovingly upon the efforts
of the Europeans to secure the route,
and such a report of course has got
ten up a good deal of talk in certain
circles in the old world.
Tbe following intelligence from
Wat-hinsrton, under date of August 1,
is to the point, and is of general in
terest. The dismtcu 6avs :
M. De Lesseps was certainly not
well informed of the intentions of
this Government when he said at
Nantes on Tuesday night that the
American Government is not opposed
to his schema for a canal ly the pan-
ania route. The Administration is
decidedly in favor of the Nicaragua
route and looks with decided disfavor
on anv plan which will tive a foreign
coumanv control of the proposed
water route from the Guif to the
Pacific, Ia conversation the otuer
day the President said that it was
not only the hope but the expecta
tion cf tins Uovernment mas Ameri
can capital would build the canal and

control it He put no faith iu M. De
Lessep's statement that there i a
large amount of American capital
waiting fir investment in his and
Lieutenant Bonaparte AVyse's pro
ject. Admiral Ammeu lias entirely
convinced the administration that he
i3 right ; that the Panama route is
not only unwise but impossible ; tliat
the movement iu favor of it is made
bv interested parties, and that the
late Congress in 1'ans was coniroiea
bv those who are pecuniarily inter
ested in the adoption of the Panama
plan. M. Do Lessens declaiod pre-
fisolv what is the reverse of the
truth when he naid that this Gov
eminent was not opposed to what it
has reason to regard a3 a stock
iobbinir operation. The President
has not ollu-ially taken up the subject
as vet. It may bo announced with
authority then that, as at present ad
vised, the Administration of the Uni
ted States will do all in its power to
prevent the consummation of M. De
Lewieps' plan, and that it will ap
point a commission of officers of the
navy or army to examine into the
whole subject. It is extremely prob
able that anything that Aduitrul Am
men advises will ba adopted in ar
ransrinsr this mutter, and therefore
that as lie advises, engineers of othe
countries will le invited to consider
tho whole subject The decided opin
ion of the A lininibtratiou is the Clay
ton-Bnlwer treaty opposes no dilu-
culties to action on the p:irt of tni
Government looking to tlie preven
tion of the building of the cunal by
a foreiirn cotupmv, or by any one un
der such conditions that the United
States caiinot assume control of it
whenever it may lecome necessary.
The following item is going the
rounds of the press : Dr. D. L. Ed
gar, of Anna, Cook county, illirwi
who was in San Domingo in ffd
says that when the yellow fever broke
out in the island the natives cut wood
and made small charcoal pits of a
couple of cords of wood each; and
he has known the disease to disap
pear in ten days from localities in
which these pits were located. The
coal pits were put up promisscnlously
throughout the villages, and kept
burning occasionally until October.
The doctor's theory is that the fever
is occasional by an excess of hydro
gen gas in tho atmosphere. This
can ins remedied by burning wood,
which re-establishes the proper pro
portion of carbon gas in the atmos
phere and drives olT the surplus of
hydrogen, a cessation of the disease
being the natural result Here's a
suggestion worthy of the attention of
health boards and scientists. If this
doctor s theory is correct and his
remedy efficacious, there need be no
future yellow fever epidemic in this
country or elsewhere.
As exchange says : One of the most
persistent and powerful propngators
of republican principles in France is
Freeuiiponry. This institution is
much more serious than with us. It
is the center of union, the rallying
point for all those who reliel against
unjust claims of tlio clergy and doin
inntion of aristocrr.tic and monarch
ical institutions. The Masonic lodge
is the sacred place for the French
Freemasons socially, politically and
religiously. They care for their own
poor, their own orphans, and them
selves, in a degree not yet attained
by our Masonic bodies. Instead of
building costly edifices, they spend
their money in caring for the needy.
The exterior bhow of Masonry in
France ,s "J11106 nothing, but its ef

The Ilarrisburg Telegraph says :
The financial policy of common sense,
as laid down in Republican adminis
tration. Republican platforms and
Republican campaign speeches, name
ly, the policy of maintiuning the in
tegrity of the Government on the
subject of its obligations and of in
sisting on honest money, is winning
its way everywhere.
The fact that Mr. Barr, the Demo
cratic candidate for State Treasurer,
is a Catholic, and was an advocate of
the riot damage act will be the cause
of the loss of many votes to luin. If
the Democracy had not attempted to
whitewash his $4,000,000, by resolu
tion in State Convention, it would
not look so baiily.

Tt is one of the commonest of
transactions for a man to make way
with bis wife ' money, but it is one
of the nncommonost of transactions
for a wife to make way with her hus
band's money excepting by extrav
agant ways. So uncommon is it for
the wife to rob a man oi nis property,
that when such an occurrence takes
place, it is worthy of note. The fol
lowing, fromGrecnsbnrg, Pa., under
dab? of July 29th, tells how a wife
robbed her husband : A most remark
able case is that of a man well known
here, whose wife, having got all tue
property in her hands, turned her
husband from her door, and is now
seeking to put him in an insane asy
lum. He lives about four miles from
this place. Some years ago he went
to Oregon with his family, but re
turned to his old home. Again start
ing west he settled in Iowa. lie
bought a farm and began to worK it.
His wife coaxed him to deed the prop
erty to her, and, the farm in her pos
session, she turned her husband out
and took up with another man. lue
discarded husband was sent home
and his brother went to Iowa to get
back part of tlie farm, if possible.
He was denied admittance to the
house by the woman and hw para
mour, and when he returned it was
only to find that his sister-in-laW was
trying to collect evidence that her
lawful husband was insane, which, if
oroven, would leave her in undisputed

band's friends immediately bad him
examined by competent physicians,
who pronounced him ieriecuy sane.
Attempts are still making to prove
that be is not in his right niimL but it
is very doubtful if they are success
ful. Meanwhile the man, who, wben
fnrminT here. Was ouite well off, is
peniiiless through the infidelity of
his wife.

A horrible story o( a woman s
revenge is told thus : Recently in Chi
huabua, Mexiee, a woman went into a
shoemaker's shop in front cf his dwel
ling aud was measured for a pair of
shoes. Tbe shoemaker said to tbe wo
man : " You bave a very pretty fcot."
D yon thick so?'' said she. He re
plied, 44 Yes; tbat is the prettiest foot
iu Mexico." Tbe woman was to come
back next day and leave one dollar,
when tbe shoes were to be commenced.
Tbe shoemaker' wife hearing all said
nothing. The next day the woman with
the pretty foot called, according to
agreement, and, the shoemaker being
out, the wife got ber into tbe back room
and slabbed ber to death. The wife
then cut a steak oat of tb dead wo
man's leg and packed tbe body under
the bed. Th-j shoemaker came borne
and ate his dinner. The wife asked
bim how be liked tbe meat. He an
swered that 44 it was tbe bet be bad
ever eaten.' Tbe wife then told him
he bad eaten part of the "prettiest leg
in America." He asked her what she
meant. She showed bim the body on
the bed, and made a dash at bim with a
kiiile, but be escaped and ran to Pala
cie and told the Judge what bad hap

tbe murder, and when she answered
yes, and attempted to justify the ael,
he ordered ber to be shot by tbe sol
diers, and bis orders were instantly
