of Providence, Luzerne county, for Congress.
The Convention after having balloted some
40 odd times, saw proper 10 take mp new
man, when the name OF MIR. RANDALL was
presented, and upon the 4ith ballot he re-
ceived majority of the votes, after which
kis nomination was made unanimous.

Mr.. VIM. M. Piati, of Wyoming, was the
fstronges, man, he having four votes on each
OF the ballots excepting six but neither OF
the other candidates willing TO concede their
claims 10 him, his nomination could not be
brought about. The nomination of Mr.
Randall is thought 10. be a judicious one.

support from the Democracy of the District

party that they should have such a man as
Andrew G. Curtin imposed upon them as

said 20 be guilty of so many trifling and des.

Hannibal HamIin of Maine.

We regret that we are compelled TO ar
raign the Black Republican candidate for
Vice President with having used his official
station as Senator of the United States for
his private and pecuniary aggrandizement.
The charge was made at Brighton, Maine,
on the goth of July last, by the Hon. f. X.
Smart, an ex-member OF Congress. Mr.
Smart said that some years ago commits
ion was appointed TO adjust the claims OF
our citizens against the Brazilian govern
meni; that just previous 10 the expiration
of the iime (June, 1881 allowed for the
settlement Of these claims, Mr.. Hamlin lad
resolution passed extending the time;
that he came to him and urged him 10 vote
for it; that the resolution passed, The time
was extended; and that for his services Mr.
Hamlin received from the parties interested
the sum of seven thousand dollars.
Since that time the Hon. Moses McDon.
aid, who was also then member OF Con
gress, has written letter testifying 10 the
truth of Mr.. Smart's statement.

pnr Ticket.

The Democrats ticket as placed at :he head
of our paper is a good one-in every way
worthy OF the support of every Democrat
There is not one on the ticket but whit is
deserving OF the suffrases of the people
They are all Democrats of the best political
record, pure in character, and upright in all
business transactions. The Democracy in
this county are in the majority, but not so
largely as TO consider nominations equiva-
lent TO an election. We have desperate
enemies TO contend with, and it stands Us
in hand 10 go 10 work and see that every
Democratic vote is brought out. We know
that we are right-our principles are correct
and the way TO carry into effect our prin-
cipes, is TO go TO the polls and deposit our
ballot The enemy are leaving nothing un-
done 10 accomplish their designs they are
hard a: work 10 secure Tie election OF their
Know Nothing candidate for Governor, An
drew e. Curtin. He is d man not worthy of
the support of an American people, for so
he will find how little regard the people of
the Old Keystone have for such political
trickster as Mr. Curtin. Should we not miss
our mark, he will be repudiated at the ballot
box by not less than 10000 votes. Demo

bers, and drive away all lukewarmness. il
such there be. We have work 10 perform,
and there is nothing like doing it we'll This

McReynolds. If We mistake not, Mr. Mer-
ri6eld stated that Geo. W. Scranton told him,
that he (Scranton) was as good Democrat
as he (Merrifleld) was that he had yo,ed
for James Buchanan, Bgler and Packer, and
If elected he intended to sustain Buchanan's
Administrations. This was the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Scranton TO catch honest DEM
ocra,ic votes. We need not ask how well
he sustained the administration or his posi-
tion. He gained votes upon ,be 8eseptation

he would do all in his power TO effect a

We believe Mr.. Lincoln claims TO be The

Al least, we find him giving ii unerance in
his speech at Springfield, Illinois, on The

ume Of Debates between Lincoln and Doug

To the Democrats of Columbia County.

Has il occurred 10 you that we are within
two weeks of the time when The issue
Joined between US and our political op-
ponenis will be decided before the high
court of the people, from which there is no
appeal! If you will cast your glance for
ward 10 the second Tuesday Of October.
you will perceive that il is not quite two
weeks distant; and If you will reflect for
moment upoE the importance OF achieving
a Democratic victory on that day, we are
sure you will arrange your business in a
way that will enable you TO be present at
The polls.
There is no use denying that the Demo
cratic party of the country is in great dan
ger of defeat. Nor is there any use 10
attempt TO disguise the fact. The clashing
ambitions and the bad passions of some TO
whom we have unwisely assigned the po-
siiion of ''eaders,p have divided our pow
erful organization and rendered our triumph
in the national struggle doubtful or worse
than doubtful. But this is no reason why
every man who calls himself Democrat
should not turn out and vote. "AlI is not
lost that is in danger !" and bad as our
Presidential prospects must be admitted TO
look at the present moment, some happy
turn of fortune may yet save the country
the awful affiiction of a Republican tri-
umph.
But laying aside the Presidential ques-
tion-and the further il can be put out of
sight Just now the beter-there is much TO
induce all good Democrats 10 attend the
election on the second Tuesday of October
The ticket to be voted for on that day is a
very full one. The Offices to be filled are
MISUNDERSTANDING, Congress, the Legis-
lature. and three of the principal County
Offices. Thus, National, State and County
affairs combine 10 give interest and imPor-
lance 10 the October election.
For the Office of Governor We have on
the one side Henry D. FosrER and on the
other ASDREw G. CURTIN. Whoever knows
boh of these men and is candid enough 10
admit the truth. must confess that any
comparison which might be instituted be-
tween them would make TO the advantage
of Foster. He has a reputation for homes
ty which no amount ofcaiumny could faint
with the least suspicion. His solid talents
are acknowledged by all He has learned
TO know the wants and wishes of the
people by long and intimate association
with them as private citizen and as a
public man. And although he has never
hunted public station, he has served long
enough in the councils of the State and of
the Nation, TO have become perfectly ia
miliar with the transaction Of public affairs.
