Pavni:, Chairman. Ashland, Pa., March 19th, lhttfi. ,1-L-O-tf Little Is heard these ilnys of Senator Ciiineron's Presidential aspirations. Ho is still dreaming of n contingency that will niako liiui tlio Itcpuhlicun cnndiilatc on a 111 to 1 platform. ti:pi!iJ5i:NTATlvi: A. S. Hiautv, of Ken tucky, declares upon his honor us a states man, a scholar and a gentleman "that I can say very positively that Mr. Cleveland is not in the Presidential race at all." There aro curtain circumstances which render thu i tcrtion irrefutable. No, Mr. Cleveland' will not bo " in it. " Si:c'uirrAi!Y ItimiiKit has decided that com missions cannot bo issued to D. !. Camden, Samuel 13. Kaosly and John II. Davis, of Danger, who wero elected Justices of tho Peace at the February election. Tho rea hon assigned is that tho borough is only en titled to two Justices, to lie elected by tho concurrent votes of each ward. W. It. (Jrubb holds rVrcr ami thu Governor will appoint tlie second Justice. i ' Till; wlnduws of business places aro beauti fully decorated with Easter eggs, cards and flowers and present a neat appearance. Tho Lenten secson will have ended with Sunday next. Most of the churches have made extensive preparations for the joyous services. Thoao who havo been observing thu requirements of the season will no doubt fcul better, lellgiously and physically. With nations like Spain and Turkey fair ly sizzling with helpless r.igo at tho United State, wo may rightfully claim to havo con clusive evidence that tho great republic is Milidly arrayed in favor of humanity, justice and civilization. If the Spaniard and the Turk professed to love this country it would bo in order fur Uncle Saui to look around and see wherein his moral principles wero unsound. A NKvr religious organization has madu its appearance in tho shapo of tho American Dcagito of tho Grand Army of thu Cross. As Its iiauiu implies, tho league is of a mili tary character, and its object tho evangeliza tion uf America. Unlike thu Salvation Army, this organization discards thu military uniform, but in tho prosecution of its mission it will appeal to tlio masses by popular methods of singing and exhortation. Frank Wjm.ino I.kacii announces that he is III tlio stato chairmanship contest to .stay until thu question Is decided. Mr. Loach's services to tho licpublican party have been of such a conspicuous nature and characterized by such brilliant successes that tliero is no doubt as to tho result should ho bo chosen to conduct the battle ill 18!I0. It would alo bo a piopcr recognition of tho hard work douo by Jiiiu for tho party, not only in the state but also in national politics, at critical times. His syfctcmatic.pains-takiug business methods of conducting campaigns have tended greatly to maku Pennsylvania tho banner licpublican state it Is. A DAME OF CHANCE. As an object lesson in politics, says tho New York Advertiser, the widely dlireront plans of campaign pursued by tho half dozen load ing aspirants for tho St, Louis nomination otfer a highly interesting study. Major McKinlcy represents the latter-day American "hustle" in its highest form of development-, Governor Morton accepts with dignity the indorsement of ills own statu and permits his friends ami advisers to go into others where there are no home oundMatus with a view to the making uf combinations when the proper time uuuies; Speaker Heed, content to let Now Kugland do what It may fur him, has been busy for tho past four months handling an iimvioldly Republican majority in tlio lower house uf Congress, preventing it from making mistakes and really strengthening tlio party and tho opposing canilldatos as much as, if not more than, himself ; Senator Quay ha done llttlo clsu than toplaco him self lu a posiil-ni where he can cut a llttlo more ice than usual in tho National Convcn tion, senator t'nlinm put outn lightning rod cari.vamlis 1 nlmg it steadily in position. Hi.! the lluu ,' ilhaui Eoyd Allison Is saying nothing, doing nothing not ovoti sawing wood lint lying M'ry, ory low nioHiitimo. The Ohio limn mid tho Iowa innn repre sent the two extremes in nute-ctmvontion luetics. They are "playing both endsagntnst the middle." The midillo, however, isR big one a Irenionilous bulk mid, if nobody enn break out of It with liW votes heforo tliu tenth ballot, our Uncle Allison ill then be in fine form for a winner If, in the meantime, the Hon. James S. Clarkson lias not boon idle. With tho oxreption of tho Ruining of in dividual strength liero and there by the candidates, it may fairly be presumed that tho situation will not cliango very materially from now till tho day of the convention at any rale, McKinlcy will not drop out of the race, ami Allison is not likely to put himself any further into it. Meanwhile, wo hear nothing of dark horscB. This may lie omliiuus. Can a surprise like Unit of '711 be in Mine for tho republican party and tlio country V Political ParuKinphs. Thomas .1.
