It was rumored in town ou Wed nesday evening that Mr. Buckalew Lad received the democratic Con gressional nomination. This was not correct. Up lo this date Thurs day the conference has made no choice. Nterk lor 4'uugresM. A petition is being circulated and signed by the Democratic friends of Charles T. Steck, of Shamokin, ask ing the conferees of the Seventeenth district, on account of the evident impossibility of their efforts to unite in the choice ot any of the gentlemen so far considered by them as candi dates for the congressional nomina tion to earnestly consider the advis ability of placing the gentleman on the ticket. —Shamok'n News. Tobacco manufacturers of Head ing are greatly disturbed over the latest railing of Secretary Cirlisle on the Wilson bill provisions. They say if the ruling is not modified they cannot sell leaf and other tobacco to small manufacturers, and that they will be compelled to discontinue that business. The ruling requires that nil tobacco sold in small quantities shall be regarded as manufactured tobacco and stamped at the rate of 0 cents per pound. This they regard is unjust to their patrons. The plutocratic Congressional Conferees of this 17th District met in Sun bury on Tuesday of last week and organized by the election of Mr. (leorge W. Miles of Montour county President. After several ballots they adjourned until the following day when after an unsuccessful at tempt to nominate a congressman they adjourned to meet in Danville on Monday Sept. 10th at 1 o'clock. The vote on the last ballot stood 4 for Buckalew and 4 for Steiubach. The conferees of Sullivan are J. W. Flynn and A. L. Smith. W.C.T. 17. Convention. The Sullivan (Jo. W. C. T.

Answering the article of Messrs Jirksnn ind Cole which appeared in the columns j if the Dus'io'e paper some days since, we | have this t > say— Wlcn the question of Heating the I Court IToime presented its If we at once | resolved that the question of a few dollars diould no' and would rot stand in the way of p'ncinsr the very best article the market afforded. We were not familiar wi'h the different, and best methods <»f I heating, and decided. !irst of all. to avail ourselves of every possible source of in formation. First of all the diffeient heat ing firms wi-re consulted, and their opin ions earifuTy considered. We at once learned that4»ot-water is the most eeouom ieal, the most dtrable, and in every way the most dedreable We had. in addition to consulting the different firms who rep. ••pornted the heating business, traveled to different points throughout the state, and consulted other C >uuty Commissioners mil County Officers. In the meantime, the parties "from Dushore were endeavor ing t> convince us that Hot-water would prove unsuccessful, and cause n? end'ess trouble, but when they finally saw that hot water would be the heat, they asked to putin the job for us. How could we, eonsistantly, consider their bids on hot water. when they professed to know noth ing nbout it? We are therefore compelled to state that when the egentlemen say that Connolly ONLY favored hot-water, that they -ta'ed what i fal-e'n every particular. They kuow Russet, Wheeler «Sr Co. talked nothing else but hot-water, and would not bid on steam. They know that Peter Forve talked in favor of hot-water, and advised it. They know that Colvin is a hot water man. nnd that R itz of Minbury also favored it. If they have stated whit they n>U3t have known to be untrue in this regard what part of their article w ill you give credence to? We come now to tiie question upon which they lay so much emphasis, viz:— why was Connolly awarded the contract as Against Colvin, there being a difference of #43. and Colvin being the cheaper, when Colvin represented the very same article. We are here to say that again they have prevaricated. Colvin specified no class of heating, only that it would be hot-waler. lie did not say in his specifi cation what goods he would use. He is no more the Agent of H. B. Smith «fc Co than he is of any other large heating con cern. He buys from every concern, where he can suit himself the best and is not the sole Agent of 11. B. Smith <& Co. Peter Forve. also handles H. B. Smith & Co's sroods. but offered us a Dunning Boiler. We can. a'so.truthfully state that there is not a specification on fl'e as complete as is the specification of H. B. Smith & Co. they have specified a brick arch and cast iron be I for their boiler. They have filed a Bond to lie-it the building to 70 Degrees in the COLDEST WEATHER (which frequently means 20 end 2j Degrees below zero in Laporte) where nearly every other concern specified 70 degrees of heat in ZERO wheather. Is not this in itself worth the ♦42? Then Connolly has speci fied his boiler. It is the No. 11 Mercer Boiler, listed at ijsfit?. In fact hehasspeci tled every inch of work that is togo into the apparatus, and we know just what we have purchased. We. also, are comfoited bv kn iwiiur that we have on file in our office the Bond of II B. Smith it Co., doubtless the largest beating concern in this country, ami whose reputation as a healing concern cannot be qlies'ioned. As to the price we were not expecting •o (jet something for nothing after lookiug at different jobs, we concluded that a fair price for our heater would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000. and when we came to consider the bids we found that the best bids ran all the ways from ♦ I.{WO to $2,445. We certainly liked Smith & Co's specification the best, and decided that if they would putin a heater at the price mentioned, they could have the contract fordoing >n. We then in structed our ''lcrk to bring Mr. Connolly hefore us. and it i-i a great injustice to our Clerk to accuse him of not doing Ids duty in this matter He simply acted under our directions and tlid as he was requested. In conclusion, we desire to us: urc the tax payers of the County, that as in other matters that have come before us, we have endeavored to keep in view tlie best in terests of the County. We desire now lo let the nuitler rest until the Decemlier term of court, when all can see the met its of our tew Heater. Respectfully, GAHKIKL I IT/ELM AN. ) JOHN .I WEiifTEB, K'o Coin's. ■ JOHN 11.
