Ever since the election a quiet investigation lias been going on and tbe parties interested are said to have discovered a number of irregulari ties which will, they think, give Mr Barker the election. And so Cambria has some excitement in store, for it is a snre thing that the Democrats, who have not ceased to jubilate, will put up a stiff and aggressive fight In case the contest is actually made, the following judges will be on the bench: Judge Harry White, of Indiana county; Judge Bell, of Blair county; Judge Bailey, of i Huntingdon county. Judge Barker, who will be the contestant, it may be recalled, was one of tbe judges here during the Blair-White contest, and it is one of the peculiar workings of fate or destiny, tbat Judge White may soon have an opportunity to see how it feels himself.—lndiana, Pa., Messenger.
