CURRENT COMMENT.
Senator Sherman said that the election
in Ohio meant Foraker's election to the
Senate, and McKinley's nomination for
the Presidency. He thought all the Re
publicans of Ohio would be enthusiastic
For both.
He made passing remarks on the result
in Maryland, and said that it was a re
buke to bossism. It showed that the peo
ple were determined not to tolerate boss
ism any longer. As to Kentucky, he re
marked that it had been drifting for
some years toward the Republicans. Brad
ley deserved his success.
As to New York, he said it was natur
ally Republican. Tuesday's result in
dicated that it could be counted 011 next
year, while Tammany's influence was
merely local in the city and could not
dominate New York politics. In regard
to Congress, he said it would take action
toward-increase in revenues, and Ihat its
course would be along lines directed by
Republican principles.
Ex-Gov. Foraker attributed the Repub
lican victory to lack of confidence in the
ability of the Democratic party to scccess
fully manage the affairs of this country.
Brice, Gorman, Hill and Carlisle are all
condemned and overthrown, and these
four men represent all the features,
phases and conditions of Democracy.
New Jersey and Massachusetts have gone
the way of the rest of the country. This
victory settles the contest for next year,
no matter who may be nominated for
President by the Democrats, and no mat
ter on what platform, The country will
lot have anything more to do with De
mocracy. You will not see another Dem
ocratic "administration at Washington in
30 years. I don't know who will be our
candidate for President, but Ohio will lie
for Gov. McKinley. His State has done
so grandly in tliis'contest that we have
positive claims on the National Conven
tion.
If Tuesday's elections mean anything,
they show that beyond a peradventure,
on March 4, 1897, a Republican President
will send his nominations of Cabinet of
ficers to a Republican Senate, and on the
first Monday of December, in that year,
his message will be read to a Congress,
Republican in both branches, pledged,
ready and competent to undo Democratic
evils aud restore good government to the
Nation—Pittsburg Times.
Birthday Anniversary.
Among the many pleasant events of life
•was the meeting of the neighbors and
friends of V". C. McCandless, of Center
township, at his home on his 70th birth
dav anniversary. It was an entire sur
prise to him and part of his family, and
the visitors caught him hnsking corn The
day was beautifui and the entire premises
were occupied by vehicles and the happy
gathering of people, who mingled in social
converse while the good ladies prepared a
most inviting dinner on hastily construct
ed tables in the large wagon-shed aud
everybody ate heartily and plentifully
After dinuer an organization was effected
by making John C. Mot.re. Esq , prosident,
and I. J McCandless, of Butler, secretary.
A number of valuable presents were

and friends of Mr. McCandless. Col. J.
M. Thompson, of Butler, was called upon

he did in a very happy manner, referring

Election Day Echoes.
The new law that allows election offi
cers pay for only one day worked to per
fection in getting out the election re
turns at ail early hour. When an elec
tion officers finds that he can count the
votes by ten o'clock, and that if he de
lays the count until after midnight he
will not get an extra day for it, he is going
to hustle that count out by ten o'clock,
and go up street to hear the news.
Each of the seven justices of the Su
])erior Court receives a salary of $62 5
per month. Their commissions date
from the first of July last, yet they will
not sit or do a lick of work until the last
of the present month. A job on that
bench may be designated as a large pud
ding.
That was a neat trick that the drum
mer served on a party of his friends on
election day. He was in an office, and
after the funny stories had been swap
ped, and the half dozen present had each
told his original joke, the drummer said
in a cheerful tone: "Well, those are all
pretty good stories, and they deserve
some reward. I.et's go and get a drink.
"We'll go you," was the chorus, and
they all seized their hats and trooped out
after the drummer, He led them to the
nearest place where liquid refresh
ments were dispensed, and they were all
felling pretty good until they saw a sign
on the door; "This is election day. The
bar is closed." Then they all looked
one at the other, and didn't say a word.
And the drummer? He knew it all the
time.
"One of the sources of great annoyance
to an election officer is the slipshod way
in which assessors write the names of
voters," said a man one day last week.
"I was one of the clerks at the election
on Tuesday and it is an actual fact that
out of every five names two of them were
either spelled wrong or they had wrong
initials. It caused endless trouble, and
it gave the voter annoyance that he
should not have experienced if the as
sessors had written the name correctly
in the first place. Another thing that
the assessors failed to do was to assess
old citizens who had lived in the precinct
for years. In a number of instances old
men were astonished to learn that their
names were not on the registry list and
they could not account for it. They
were certain that they had given their
names, to the assessor, and they could
not understand it. The system of as
sessing is all right, bnt when a careless
assessor gets to work he causes endless
trouble. It is not difficult to get a man's
name correctly the first time and write it
the same way every time."
Five-ThousanJ Offices.
When Lloyd Lowndes becomes Gov
ernor of Maryland, next January, he will
have more offices to fill than the new
Governors of all the other States conbin
ed.
By reason of the great negro strength
in some of the counties, it has been the
practice of the Democrats to concentrate
the government in the hands of the Gov
ernor. Then, too, whenever a county
would go Republican, the Democrats
would rush a bill through the Legislature
transferring the appointments to the Gov
ernor.
In this way several of the county treas
urers, all the local school hoards, the
liquor license commissioners and the po
lice magistrates and justices of the peace
for Baltimore city are named by the Gov
ernor.
The Governor also names all the elec
tion officers, giving him control of the
election machinery of the State.
The total number of appointments Gov.
Lowndes will control approximates 5,000.
I*or instance he appoints the election su
pervisors, who in turn appoint the elec
tion officers. The local school boards arc
appointed in like manner by school com
missioners named by the Governor.
Gov. Lowndes is elected for four years,
his annual salary being $4,500. During
his term there will be two sessions of the
Legislature, the first one convening next
January. As that lxtdy is now Republi
can, it is not unlikely that the system of
centralization of appointive power in the
Governor's hands, begun ana fostered by
the Democrats, will be changed,
