The drift of sentiment against the proposed Constitutional Convention is unmistakably strong. It has been indicated in the expressions ot leading men of both parties, and is no less strongly manifested in the newspapers of the State. Of nearly fifty papers of all shades of politics whose opinions have been noted up to this time but eleven have declared in favor of a conven tion. The following list shows the division:— AGAINST A CONVENTION. Lancaster Intelligence,D Philadelphia North York Age, D. American, R. Pittsburg l'ispatch, I. Chester News, R. Scran ton Republican R.

Of the papers favoring a conven tion four are Republican, five Demo cratic, and two independent. Of those opposed twenty-five are Re publican, eight Democratic, and one independent. These p-ipers are taken from those of our exchanges, and while it can not Vie claimed that they include al! which have spoken one way or the other on the subject of a convention, they fairly indicate the proportions 'of fhe divison generally among the I newspapers, and they are fairly rep resentative of the popular sentiment. Unless there shall be a very de cided change, which is not probable, as tliei'A is no reason for it, the con vention will be overwhelmingly beaten. JAMISON CITY ITEMS. Several of our young people Sun dayed at Long Pond. Samuel A. Goodbue Esq., spent Sunday at Eagles Mere. John C. Forbes and Henry Fell spent Sunday at Dushore. E. J.

It is a delightful place to spend the heated season. Elkland Grange No. 976, of Es tella now has 41 members in good standing with 13 new names pro posed. When these arc all in we will have a membership of 54. This is certainly a very good showing as it was organized last October with only 13 charter members. X. ESTELLA TTEMS No. 2.

Sadler's a few days last. week. Some of the town people were up to Highland Lake, Sunday. Peck reached home first; he says his horse gets there just the same. Dad Backers show exhibited at! this place Friday. During the ex-1 hilution about one-half of the seats j fell and hurt two people, but not so bad as was anticipated, at the time of the accident. PERTLE. Every report of good crops and ! prosperous times for the farmers is an additional thorn in the sides of j the Democratic calamity wailers. ! The Democratic party has always prospered most when the people suf fered most, and it is for that reason that it dreads the era of prosperity j which is now dawning upon the country, brought about by Republi- j csin legislation, and which we would i have had long ago had the Republi-1 cans controlled all branches of the j Government, as they did during the ! first two year's of President Har rison's administration. And it is a matter for congratulation that the Democratic House of Representa tives, which was elected by false representations to the people, will not be able to undo the good work done by the Republican House, much as the Democrats would enjoy doing it, and that the attempts that are certain to be made in that direc tion will only convince the people of the country of the necessity of electing a Republican House and President next year. The Odd Fellows of this State now have charters filled from No. 1 to No. 1010. This is the first time this has happened since the early history of the Order. The total membership is close to 100,000. The mother of Jesse James, the outlaw, has received an offer from Chicago to exhibit their house, a one and a half story log structure, at the World's Fair. mm.l. Mi r s'l'liiip. 'VI lull the ex- I'mideiil Said in a.< Interview* BOSTON, July 28. —1n reply to in quires made by a representative of the Herald at Buzzard's Bay ex- President Cleveland said : "I have not been requested by the Ohio Democrats to make spencli es in their State during tho pending canvass. Ido not expect to take part in the campaign there nor in any other state and 1 have never given the slightest intimation of an intention to do so. I am convinced that Governor Campbell and all other fair minded political friends will understand that if I decline to go upon the stump, there are per fectly good and valid reasons foi mv action entirely consistant with a most earnest desire for thn success of all democratic! candidates in | Ohio or elsewhere. Of couise, I anticipate theory will he raised in certain quarters, if such a request is made and declined, that I am selfish and indifferent, to the success of the nominees of my p.'trty, but such ill-natured accusations I do not expect to escape in any event." j A political writer in the New j York Press says: "If dispatches j from .J/aine may be relied upon, j Secretary Blaine will not stand in J his own wav as a Presidential can didate in ISO.', a* he did in ISBB. His closest political friend, Josiph J/.uilev, is quoted as saying that while Mv. Blaine cannot become a candidate for the nomination, yet if ' the Republican convention should nominate him he will accept. With the popular feeling in the Republi can party that Mr. Blaine is the strongest candidate that it can pre sent, this declaration is likely to crystalize the Presidential situation in the Republican party very rapid ly, especially as there is now no longer any question but that Mr. Blaine is sound physically, and near ly recovered from his recent indis position. The growth of trade with South American countries under reciprocity will make "Blaine and business" a popular cry if Mr. Blaina should be the party nominee. T. J. KEELER S STORE.
