COO - TY NOMINATIONS.
We regard the County ticket
placed in nomination by the &pub
' lican Convention last week, as fairly
representing all elements of . the
party. - The underlying causes-that
- have heretofore produced disaffec
tion in the.party ranks in our local
politics are in the main removed.
The dividing line has been between
- the Cameron and anti-Cameron ele
ments of the party, or between the
adherents of boss rule in State poli
tics on the one hand, and its °pion-
ents on the other. There is now,
fortunately, bat one sentiment in the
Republican party of Bradford on
this subject and that is emphatically
in condemnation of the methods by
which the Republican party organi-
nation of the State is ruled and con-
trolled. All elements of the party
came together in convention in
harmony. Resolutions ' t approving
the independent act'on of our
Senator and members of , the last
Liegistature in Utebenatonal contest,
and approving the policy; of the
present National Administration
were _unanimously adopted and ap—
plauded. The party here was also
committed by resolittion, enthusias—
tically adcipted, to the policy of
submitting to a vote of the people, a
proposition to so amend the Consti
tution of the. State as to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors except for medicinal and
mechanical purpos t es, The party is
'also committed to economy in county
expenses, and a reduction of .the
Treasurer's compensation. The
Board of Commissioners have al
ready taken action on this subject in
- conformity with the recommends:-
tions of the Convention. What have
we then to qnarrel
„ over ? Those
who objected to the nomination of
Mr. Webb and Mr. Bradford brought
their objections into the Convention
and there received fair treatment
and a fair hearing. They were bath
fairly nominated and here the obkc.
tions should end. No one doubts
the capacity of Mr. Webb for the
faithful - and proper discharge of the
duties of the Recorder's office. The
objections to Mr. Bradford, grew
mainly out of local conflicting inter
ests and are not such as shotild
make weight against his election.
None can doubt his capacity or, his
personal integrity. We_ mention
these two nominations especially be
cause We have heard no objections
urged against any -other of the midi.;
dates. The ticket as a whole is a
good one, upon which the party
should cordially unite. The ;vault,
we trust, will show the party entirely
harmonious with more than its usual
majority.
The Republicans of Bradford. we
are happy to say, a re now practically
a unit in opposition to the role of
party bossew in our State politics
over the Republican party. There
is therefore no occasion for:further
discoid among us on this subject. . it
is the consummation of a . purpose
for the accomplishment of athich we
have long and persistently fought,
sometimes against bitter and person
al opposition. But we entertain no
personal animosities, and have never
been actuated by malicious or yin.
dictive motives. Friend and foe
alike in k n political sense, shall be
cordially . indorsed for right action,
and deservedly censured when, in
-our judgment, he is in the
.wiong,
We all now meet on common ground
and shake hands over the bloodless
chasm. Let us as Republicans so act
as to make. our inguence felt for good
throughout the State.
Oar County Ticket is a "give and
take" ticket of good and capable
men, representing the party as a
whole, upon which all should unite
cordially in an effort tc) give our can
didates the fall vote of the party.
Here is our hand for such an effor i t,
Fall in boys, for the accomplishme nt
of the work in hand.
Col. McClure, of the Philadelphia
Times, gives Wolfe a flattering send
off in his independent candidacy for
State Treasurer. This is litcClure's
way of helping the defeat of General
Bally. When he has worked Wolfe
to his satisfaction he will drop him
and pitch in for the Democratic
candidate.
, The personal popularity of His
Royal Higimess, Attorney General
Palmer in his zwn section is simply
immense. The pleasure of the
_ delegates from Lackawanna and
- Luzerne to the State Convention in
voting for Davies, was only equalled
by the opportunity it afforded them
to vote against Palmer.
THE STATE CONVENTION.
,
The "will , of the people" found ex
pression in the nominntion of Gerd.
Baily for State Treasurer at the
Republican State Cenvontion held
at Harrisburg on
. Ifie , Stb, inst.
Probably no more:. degrading ex
hibition 'of the wilful perversion of

sedness" of the se lf-styled leaders
was even witnessed. Penna., save
and except in the CottiOntion 'of
Feb. 1880, that "instructed" for Gen.
-
Grant.
The mention of the name of Sena
tor Davies in connection with the
Treasurership called forth prompt
and' hearty issuances of support
from every quarter of the 'State and
from every element of the party.
Until within three weeks Iron/ the
Convention, we neverkne*the party
so unanimously in accoid with a
candidate. The leading, spirits of
the "Regulars," volunteered their
active support, and number of
them solicite.l Mr., Davies in the
strongest ierms"tii be a candidate,
assuring - him, not only , :of their de
votion, but that he shbOld have no
opposition. In order6.ltc) put the
latter question beyond doubt cer
tain of his friends interviewed Semi
tor Cameron - on - the subject and
he gave his word that he would not op
pose him. His nomination up to
August 20th, was a fact conceded on
all hands.
How, and why was he defeated?
How ? by the "main strength
principle; by the use of all the "ap
pliances' of the State government;
by the "thumb crew" ptocess; by the
cowardice and treachery of "sum
mer" 'friends; by the abject servitude
to their ."bosses" of things, erron
eously cailed-American citizens; by
the combined efforts of a clique to
whom the success of the party is a
minor consideratiOn to that of the
success of the "machine"; by the
combined efforts of a clique whose
parainount object is to reward slaves
and punish freemen and who would
have i quietly striven for the defeat of
Senator Davies had he been nomi
nated..
Whv was he defeated ? For
several-reasons—principally for two.
First, because he had the manhood
to honestly. represent the sentiments
of nine-tenths of the Republicans in
the State in the late Senatorial con
test, and second, to allow said clique
t 3 cram down the throats, and rub
under the noses of the Independent
element—not Geni. Bailey. but a
political sentiment represented by
him, A distasteful, as ,repulsive as
hell itself to ninet?en-twentieths of
the Republicans of this`" Common
wealth, to wit: "306."
The President's recovery meant
Republican success. Here was an
opportunity to punish Davies and at
the same time elect a Grant man
through the President's inisfortime.
The resolutions' indorsing the Ad
ministration, &c., ere koodT—thanks
to the amendments adopted in com
mittee, through the efforts of Hon.
Edward McPherson, et al—bat does
any one believe for a Mori:lent that
this syndicate of 'politicians ralv in ac
cord with Garfield's Administration?
No ! It is as bitter as 'gall to them.
We ask of them in the language of the
Senator from New York, "Is this
heartfelt, or is it bypocr,isy's mas
querade ?"
We are not speaking especially for
Senator Davies, nor with his knowl
edge or consent--probably will not
receive his approval. It is an open
secret that Senator Dtiiiis and'our
self in the past have not. always been
in harmony, but common honesty
and a spirit of fairness dictates that
we should say: that , we believe and
know him to be a man who bas dared
to represent his constituents :its
against "orders"—true to his friends
and his sense of right—a man of in
tegrity, and in point of brains, stands
a head and shoulders above the dis
tinguished Senator that alas the
pally whip.
Let us be understood further, that
we make no war upon - Gen. Bally;
we believe him to be capable and
personally honest, and shall support
him—but we do object to the modus
operandi of his nomination —the mo
tive that actuated the men that
brought it aboutLthe continued dis
regard of the known and expressed
wishes of the people which has-be
come particularly obnoxious since the
election of J. D. Cameron: to the
Senatorship. We are Republican,
and fight within the lin* We shall
continue as we have in the past, to
express ourselves at all times and
umUr all circumstances, as in our
judgment shall seem for the best in
terest of the party. We shall assist
in educating the - people 'to despise
"machine" methods and: motives.
We shall continue to cry halt! to
party dictators. We say to them
that a repetition of the spirit mani
fested in the Convention of 1880, in
the late Senatorial struggle, and in
the defeat of W. T. Davies, will not
again be tolerated. I
We are interested in the perpe.'

plane than it has reached in Penn.

"machine" that when all other means

the party by crushing your ticket.
Our leadei this week on the State
donvention, is couched in more em
phatic terms than
. 'we ordinarily
employ. But the occasion seemed
to dennuad it, and language less ex
pressive would not do justice to the .
sabjec'. We de dire the Republicans
of Bradford to iniderstamd that we
do not abate one jot of tittle of our
opposition to boss rule in our State

While we not underestimate the
danger to the success ofl the Repub
lican nominee for State Treasurer,
in consequence of Mr. Wolfe!s can
didacy, we deprecate the 4E4 an
ill-advised step he hasrin, aimed
at the disruption of the arty. The
time is not yet, when the well:being
of the party and the promotion of
better influences in the organization
demand an independen movement. ;
In - the Nomination of Gen. Bally,
t‘ilc

General Bally was a gallant soldier
tif the Union army and earned his i
title by valuable service during the
war of the. Rebellion. While we ore
opposed to the methods by which he

was nominated, we desire his eleCtion
as a Republican; but not as a repre

ruled the Convention. In this view

Of the party in Pennsylvania that
wilLbe more effectual than the defeat
of a candidate for State Treasurer,
The time will come ere long, when an
outraged public sentiment will be
come so crystalized againgt boss rule
that it will assert itself within the
Party to the complete overthrow of
.
that power, as it has d on in Brad
ford anA many oilmar n i nnnfloa -of
the State. The party o ganization
will then be placed upon a higher
plane and will justly clai the con
fidence and support to - w 'eh it is by
its principles entitled. This must
be the end aimed at. It cannot be
done by abandoning the party or
ganization, but by maintaining ilin
tact until the better elements assert
a mastery over its interests, when
existing abuses of poirer will be cor
rected. .
The latest information from Presi—
dent Garfield is highly encouraging.
His physicians report, that no serious
results are anticipated from the lung
difficulty. On Tuesday he wait

to a - window over-looking the ocean
and sat for half - an hour without
fatigue. The unfavorable • features
of his case are gradually abating, the
swelling and ulceration of the parotid
gland of his neck have abated and
the flow of pus has ceased and the
ulcer is healing in a healthy manner.
The wound from the bullet is granu
lating and has healed for several
inches from the base. There is'now
reason. to hope that the crisis is
passed and thd President is on the
road to recovery.

Nominations for Treasurer had been
ordered, when a - discussion in the Cori

There were two platforms' before the
Committee. The one a single resolution
of Senator Cooper, and s ; the other, a
more elaborate and speeifieseries, offer
ed -by Mr. McPherson. Mr. Leeds
fathered Senator Cooper's, and Mr Me t
Pherson made his own fight. The re

of the platform as adopted. McPherson
is the author of the third, fourth and

CIIRONTO BLOOD-POISONING.
Dr. Boynton says to-day is one of
the President's bright days. He con
siders that there is no doubt that an
abscess tins - forined on the President's
right lung, but if no further trouble
of a similar nature occurs, he pinks
the patient, has sufficient vitality to
overcome it. The doctor 'said the
trouble is not materially worse now
than before we. left Washington. He
attributes the complication to chronic
blood-poisoning.
Secretary Blaine sent the following
to Minister Lowell: "The President
slept well last niglit, and' his condition
to-day is more comfortable and more
favorable. During my absence for a
short time, Doctors Agnew and Hamil
ton will send you a daily report"
6:10 P. M. (0/pedal.)
The President has experienced since
the issue of the morning bulletin, a fur

DISPATCH TO LOWELL.
MacVeagh cabled Lowell as follows:
10 p.m.-In the absence of Secretary
Blaine the attending ihysicians" have
requested me to inform you of the
Presidenes condition. He has during
the day eaten sufficient with relish - ,
and has enjoyed at intervals refreshing
sleep. His- wound and the incisions
made by the surgeons, all look better.
The parotid gland has Ceased suppura
tion and may be considered as substan
tially. well. He has exhibited more
,than his usual eheerfulneis of spirit.
His, temperature and resperation are
now normal and his. pulse is less fre
quent, and notwithstanding these favor
able symptoms, the • condition of the
losier part of the right lung will con
tinue to be a source . of enxiety for
some days to Come."
OPINION OF TES SUMMONS.
Dr. - Agnew to-night said that the
evening bulletin was a favorble one,
and be could not say more than was
contained in it if he should talk an
hour. , Dr. Boynton adheres to the
opinion that the lung complicaaion is
the result of blood poisoning, yet he
contends t hat
. the President's vitality is
sufficiently strong to overcome any
serious results from., it, providing no
further complications of a similar
character' occurs. .Messrs
by
and
Rockwell are encouraged the favor
able indications, and say the dify has
undoubtedly been a good one. Mr.
Rockwell said he placed more, confi
dence in the President's action, when
comparing - his condition from day to
day, than in the opinion of others. He
said the President is a man not afraid
of death, and ., has no more idea of
dying than any of us who are enjoying
good- health. He considered that if
the President :should be near death's
door, the full possession of his faculties
would .enablehim to comprehend the
fact and he would not hesitate tol, give
due notice to those around, him.
Dr. Hamilton arrived to-night to

HatiVeagh cabled Lowell as follows :
There has been no material change in

at his . own requeit this morning from
the bed to an extension chair, in which
he remained half an hour; and he his
been less inclined to "drowsiness during
the day than usual. The weather is now
very favorable, and the physicians
think they difoover signs of slight im

SCORCHED AND CHARRED BODIES IN THE
Deraorr, September 9.—Details con
tinue to come in relative to the des
truction by . forest fires. Huron and
Sanilao counties have been the princi
pal theatre of the greatest destruction
and suffering. An eye-witness states
that darkness and a copper-coloredisky
preceded > the approach , of the
_tire.
Later the sky ehtmgod tu a deep red,
and Monday afternoon it became so
dark that lanterns were necessary, for
people to find their way about. This
condition of affairs continued until
about 8 o'clock, Wednesday morning,
when the wind shifted from west to
north, cooling the air and bringing a
slight relief. In the woods were many
scorched and charred bodies, which
presented a revolting appearance. The
high winds that prevailed cutoff nearly
every avenue -of escape,, and large
burning masses would be lifted bod
ily and borne along for a great dis
tance. In many instances these burn
ing masses started fires in fresh places.
The skill and courage of 'man seemed
impotent to combat with such flames,
and the fleeing people were caught in
the ire-traps and roasted.
MAIMED BEYOND reEcoolorrox.
One farmey.who was ploughing with
his oxen a few mil 6; from Sand Beach
percieved the - approaching darkness i and
started for his house. , On reaching
hOme he found that his wife had giirne
to a neighbor's. He tl4n took t.wo of
his children, his eldest &I - righter taking
the others. Before going many rods
they found themselves cut off by the
flames. The farmer then hurried in
another direction and escaped with the
two children. His daughter and the
other three children were found next
day in a heap charred - beyond frecogni
tion. Upto Wednesday night 45 bod-
ies had been .fOund within a mile. In
Paris Township many are missing,
most oflt,hem Poles. The whole settle
ment, buildings, fences, crops, etc., was
swept clear. In Delaware Township,
all the country south of Forestville
from the lake seven miles back, there
is hardly-anything left, not one house
to the sipiare mile. They were new
settlers and had sthall clearings, and
the fire swept them like a hurricane.
They lose all - they had and owe for
their places. Many of them fled to
the lake.- The shore line has been
crowded with human beings, cattle and
everything that could get to the water.
Eye-witnesses say that the utmost con
fusion prevails. Many could not - see.
One man who had lost his all was both
blind and crazy, and had to be led to
the lake.
Mirth of Satiihic the fire on Monday
night was terrible, sweeping away al
most everything, but it seemed to : leave
the houses. The people here did not
know any fire was_ near them until it
was on them. They:had to run for the
lake, and it being but a short distance
away all reached it safely. John Kerr
and family were asleep when their
building caught fire; and a neighbor
seeing it ran and succeeded in saving
the house, but hist everything else.
Mrs. N. Burgess got separated from
her husband and lay all night in a
ditch. Another person lay down in a
mud•puddle and rolled over and over
all night. A large party of men have
gone to bury the dead: beasts in For

turned for more medicine, reported

!WICKING UP THE LOSS OF LIM
Thelatest reports are that the fires
nppear to be abating. A despatch-from*
Port - Austin at the top: of the btmed
penirunila sums up the general destruct
ion as follows: The loss oflivei by the ,
forest fires on Monday and Tuesday is
estimated at from 200 to 300. The .
following villages were burned: Bad'
Axe, Verona, Forrest Bay, Richmond
vine, Charleston, Anderson, Deckers
ville, •Ilarrisonville and Sandusky.
The following were partly burned: Port
Hopd, Minden and Elbly. The great
loss, in villages is nothidg to that in the
country, where the losses are ;too num
erous to be named. Reports from Sag
irutw, Tuscola and Lispeer, Counties,
one tier back from the lake, while show
ing much destruction of property, do
not approach the losses in the shore
counties. The losses by fire was much
less sweeping and general and the loss
of life was. small. But in each of these
more •favored counties hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of property
has been destroyed. The latest reports
from all these counties encourage the
belief that rain his visited many , sect
ions and that the deluge of Iflames is
largely subsiding. The work of relief
most now be systematically- entered
upon. Lumber to -build houses, provis
ion of all kinds, clothing and seed for
future crops, must be furnished in large
quantities to prevent still greater des
titution. The benevolent everywhere
can safely send money to Mr. E. C.
Carleton, Mayor of Port Huron, or to
Senator 0. Conger in the same
place, with the assurance that the means
will be judiciously used. Prompt, act
ion is urgently demanded.

ROBBERS CAVORT.
InimpEtirEscs, Mo., Sept. .B.—Nine
masked robbers stopped the Chicago,
Alton Sr, We,tern express -and mail
train at eight o'clock last night two
miles west of Glenda, by waving a
signal lantern. The robbers bad also
piled a great quantity- - of stones and
logs on the track to wreck the, 'train.
The robbers were heavily armed, and
when the train stopped the leaders
shouted, sinow.men to your work, fire."
At the word the air was filled With the
diacharging fire arms; shot's succeeded
one another with such rapidity that
the train men and passengers imagined
the attacking party to be 'in overwhelm
ing numbers.
The effect of firing rendered the pas- -
sengers and engineer an easy prey to
the brigands. Before the first shock•
was over a number of robbers took po
seesion of the train, the shooting all the
time vigerously carried on. The engi
neer, fireman and brakeman were
driven into "the woods. Conductor
Hazelbacker offered resistance. but wai
overpowered . and compelled to rem for
his life. A few of the thieves boarded
the caret, drew cocked arms, covered all
•zits and ordered every one to relrain
trona making a single movement, at
the.peril of their lives. There was
absolute compliance with the order on
the part of scores or terrorized people.
Two highwaymen boarded the express
car.
The express messenger made a bold
stand and refused to yield, although
the muzzles of two revolvers were
against his temple. Said one of the
thieves: "I admire your • nerve, you
are too good a,man to be slugged," and
then knocked , bim down with the butt
end of his weapon. The messenger
while conscious refused to surrender the
keys. The robbers pounded him until
he was unconscious, then rifled the car
throwing out everything "valuable or
movable, and they filled the keyhole of
the safe with explosive and , blew it
open. From the sate they secured
many valuables and money, estimated
at 1130,000. The work on the express
car was done quietly and with nucom
mon skill. The I trained confederates
OD the outside curled the booty sway.
During all thbi tim ethe rapid and ter=

says: Between three and four miles

the Chicago & Alton, and it was just be
fore entering the deepest part of this
cut that I saw a pile of stones, probably
three feet high, - on the top of which
was a stick with a red flag attached, and
behind stood the leader of the robbers.
I stopped and was approached by four
of the gang, besides the leader, who ,
said. "Step &im off that engine and
do as I tell-yon, or I
_will "kill 'you."
He then told me to get a coal Tick,
which I did, after some parleying, but
as a revolver-was pointed at my head, I
could not refuse. - They then marched
,me and Steaning- the fireman to the ex
press car and told me to break the door
down which I did. • Messenger Fox.
had hidden in the weeds by the road
side, but they swore : they would kill
me ithe did not cemeont, so I called
for him, and he entered the .car with
the two robbers, whO forced him to
open the safe" and pour the contents
into the sack. They were disappoint
ed at- not getting more booty, and
knocked Fox down twice with the butt
end of a revolver, cutting his head fear
fully. ( They then marched us to the
coaches, where they kept us. covered
with revoliers, while they robbed the
passengers. After the last car was
gone through, they marched ns back to
the engine, when the leader said, "Now
get back there. We will remove the
stones. You have been a bully boy
and here is a little pressent for you,"
and hebanded me two silver dollars.
I told them I would remove the ob
structions, and the entire gang skipped
up over the embankment and were
out of eight in a twinkling. What was
I taken from thepassengers was pbt into
a two-bushel sack, which was neatly
full of watches, money and other
valuables.
Brigham Young's Son Drunk.
A Salt Lake City telegram;.Septem
ber 9th, says: This morning there was
a fine example of the discrimination the
polies habitually make 'between a Mor
mon and a Gentile in their official acts
in this city. n A policeman was seen on
the streets - with a son 'of the late Brig- ,
haul Yourig, the 'young man being so
'drunk that he could not navigate witii
oat the : , friendly aid of the policeman,
who was kindly steering him homewar(l.
There was-no suggestion that the sou of
the Prophet should be pdt in the .cala
bOose, and such a thought apparently
never entered the policeman's mind. A.
short time afterward, however; this same
policeman was seen - leadidg to the cala
bx)se & young Gentile, who.was well
clad and. as respectable as the other
victim, and not as drunk. In the first
place there was no thought of the cala
boose; in the second, there , was no
thought of anything else. The law is a.
great respector of persons, it appears.
Mormon justice is blind drunk.
