Latest developments indicate that the
returns of the recent elections in Cam
bria county will be contested. It will
be remembered that according to the
official returns Francis J. O'Connor was
declared elected over A. V. Barker by a
majority of 71. 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.
