It is said that one or two of our Democratic candidates took "Oc casional" to task on his recent letters in the Hugbesville Mail , and to be recognized in their company as a propounder of democracy, wrote a very flattering letter for the Mail last week in their behalf. Poor fellow. He started out with a mind of his own, but the pressure was to great and he was forced to yield. The Democratic State Convention c mvened in Harrisburg, on Wednes day. It will require at least two days to complete their nominations during which time a lively time will lake place. Bosses Harrity and Wallace don't agree on the Presi dential honors.

Simmons Post No. 477, to furnish music at. the decoration of soldier graves, in Sonestown and LaPorte, on Memori al Hay. Rhode Inland Lead* tli« Way. The Republican victory in Rhode Island is complete. The State which has been going Democratic ever since 1888 returns to the Re publican column and anchors there for the Presidential election. Rhode Island is no longer doubtful. Neither is any one of the other New England States. They will all lie found supporting the McKinley bill and protection. Rhode Island but leads the way. This victory is of great importance because it shows conclusively that the Democratic onslaughts upon the tariff have been halted. The elections of the fall of 1890 were in the interests of the Democrats, carried by misrepresen tation and a general misunderstand ing of the Tariff bill. That mis understanding has been dissipated. The McKinloy bill has proved a blessing. The reciprocity clause has opened new markets. Prices have not advanced. Once more it is apparent that the tariff is not a tax. Ohio halted the free trade bravado when in November last she elected McKinley Governor. Rhode Island comes to the front to-day with a Republican victory that is all the more significant because the State has been looked opon as Demo cratic. It is now in order for the Demo crats to make the best excuse pos sible for the result in Rhode Island. Streby of the Gazette should lose no time in making a statement of this kind. What will it be ? Poor thing, he is forever on the wrong side to display a booming head line. It is always draped in mourning. K<*l>Ut>lit'uu Conferees Meeting. At a meeting of the conferees of the Congressional district including Sullivan, Northumberland, Colum bia and Montour counties, held at Danville on Thursday of last week W. C. McContiell, of Shamokin, and W. L. Gouger, of Danville, were chosen delegates to the next Repub lican National Convention, and C. E. Conger, of Columbia county, and W. C. Farnsworth, of Northumber land county, alternates, and Lloyd I'. Rohrbach, of Sun bury, elector. There was a full representation at the meeting, which passed off harmoniously. Whatever the Republican side of the House lacks in numbers is made up by a full supply of courage, brains, and clear-sighted determina tion. The splendid conduct of the Republican minority during tl.e fight over the silver bill extorted expressions of admiration from such a stiff-necked Democrat as Crain of Texas. "I couldn't help," said Mr. Crain, "but admire the magnificent discipline displayed by the Republi can minority. It was equal to that of a German regiment. They ad vanced, retreated, wheeled, faced about, marched, counter-marched, and charged like trained veterans. It was magnificent, and it was poli tics." Several hundred thousand Republicans say ditto to that. The Republican minority has done nobly. On Sat urday last, County Treasur er Meylert was the recipieut of a very handsome and costlv present, the gift of the Union Land and Stock Company of Sacramento. It is a very beautiful gold watch and chain. The watch has the Howard movement, the very best and most expensive made. On the case out side, which is beautifully chased, are Mr. Meylert's initials, H. \V. M.« nicely engraved, and 011 the inside of the case are the words : "Pre sented to H. W. Meylert by the Uuiou Land and Stock Company, Sacramento, Cal., February 22(1. 1892. The gift is in consideration of services rendered the Company by ttlr. Meylert. The gentleman was very much surprised to receive such a present and it is needless to add, fully appreciates it. Mr. Mey lert's sterling business qualifications and accommodating manner has secured him a host of friends. True worth is bound to be recognized and rewarded."— Lassen Weekly Mail. Howard's many friends in this vicinity, congratulate him upon his handsome present and are pleased to learn the sincere esteem in which he is held by the people of his new home, in California. Howard is serving his second term as County Treasurer of Lassen county. Atty. A. L. Grim is in Harrisburg this week. We presume he went down to attend the Democratic Con vention. The proper officials of the new contemplated railroad to Eagles- Mere, have advertised for two hun dred men, who have had experience with the pick and shovel. Through a Bridge at Lopei. Clark Pros, delivery team and wagon, together with Bruce Dunn the driver, went through the wood en bridge crossing Lopez creek, at Lope/. Tuesday. Mr. Dunn was but slightly hurt, nor was the team ; the wagon was almost totally de molished. Altogether it was a very fortunate escape from a dangerous position, as the water was very high at the time.—Towanda Review. Since the accident, County Com. Scanlin has put tne bridge in good repair. A Sound Veteran. Of all old veterans who have seen active service in the late war how many can boast to-day of unimpair ed health or are free from physical disrbility ? Among the many heroes of Wayne who faced the dangers of shot and shell, ot the dreadful fever and loathsome prison life we recall but a single instance of one, who, after an extensive ex perience in soldering to-day calls himselt a sound man. Oliver Bron son, of South Canaan, is in this re spect, a remarkable exception to the rule. At the age of 19 he entered the army as calvaryman under Phil Sheridan. During his army life he took part in over 25 contests, among which were the famed battles of Cold Harbor, Wilderness, Weld en Railroad and many other heavy en gagements. When his company, which at first had a hundred men, went into winter quarters only ten of the original number answered, "Here!" to the roll call. Mr. Bronson has many a time listened to the patter of the deadly leaden hail and seen his comrades fall all about him, yet he had a remarkable deliverance, inas much as he not only escaped the leaden missiles but the terrible dis eases of camp life. To-day he con siders himself a sound man. How manj old veterans can say as much ? Honesdale Independent. I'ciimloum lor Mrs. Jell' Outis. NEW ORLEANS, April B.—At the reunion of Confederate veterns in this city General Gordon offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted : "Resolved , That it is the sense of this convention that the late Con federate States grant small pensions each to Mrs. Jefferson Davis, widow of the President of said Confederate States, and we earnstly recommend the Legislatures of the following States to vote her an annual pension of SSOO each during the remaining years of her life, to wit: Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ar kansas, Tennessee, Indian Territory, Kentucky, and Missouri." Paiiitou's I'aper Filed. A certified copy of the hill of in dictment and the entire docket entry of the proceedings in the trial of Wm. Henry Painton, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Michael Strominger, were forwarded to Har risburg yesterday by E. D. Ziegler, Esq., to his colleague, Meade D. Detweiler, for the purpose of having them filed with the Pardon Board. It is believed the Governor will grant a respite for sixty or ninety days, immediately upon receiving official notification of such filing. In the meantime Sheriff Fiulev is making preparations for the execu tion, and should the respite not be granted Painton will make repara tion for his crime with his life this Thursday.—Ycrk Daily. LATTER —William H. Painton, the condemned murderer of Mrs. Strominger, will not sutler the penally of death for his crime on the 14th inst., as he has been respited by the Governor until June 16th. The preliminary papers for clemency are being made out and were filed with the proper officer Wednesday the 13th inst. The Board of Pardons meets on April 19th, when the case will be presented asking for a pardon or a commutation of his sentence. -*E. G. SYLYAftA.*- DUSHOKE. PA.
