afflicted from motives of the purest charity

were conceded by all to be purely fictitious,
and when "Slubad the Sailor" was looked
upon aa n nursery story. But some Of the

When any sdyenturer can boldly and sue.
cessfully proclaim before M intelligent com.
muuity, that he will sell gold and silver
watches, worth from SIS 10 STj, for twenty.
fys cents, We should no longer be surprised
at the credulity and supers.itions Of former
ages. These gift operators go upon the
principle that all fools are not only not dead,
but that they constitute pretty large portion
Of society, and when they dDd th,ir creduliiy
beginning to flag, they have only to offer a
genuine bait, in the shape OF a watch, when
hundreds Of gudgeous will o ready 10 bite at

rIIE nEMnCR ATTIC TICKET

The Democratic nominating convention
met at the Court House, in this place, on
Monday last, and as q necessary consequence,
candidates aud politicians were thick and
plenty. That many we're disappointed where
only few could be chosen, was not uuex-
pected, and we heard a number condemn the
present system OF conducting primary elec.
tiops. When we predicted this state of
things, when this system was adopted, we
received neither compliments nor thanks from
many who have since felt the trnth Of our
predictions and the force Of our arguments.
The convention was organized by calling
John Fsrusworth to the chair. assisted by
Henry Reader and Daniel Wagner, as Vice
Presidents, and Geo. Baker, W. z. Withing-
ton and Jacob Yordy, as Secretaries.
The return judges from all the election dis.
tricts, except Mount Carmel, we're present.
There was some difficulty in regard to the
Sunbury district, Mr.. Solomon Sbindel and
Edward Eisely both claiming seats. Edward
being a stout six footer, took the responsi.
bility of constituting himself the judge, having
pocketed the papers as soon as the polls we're
closed. he convention, however, admitted
Mr.. Shindel.
There was some little surprise manifested
at the rBpid increase Of the Democracy in
some OF the districts 10 the forks. Milton,
for instance, at the primary election Of 1859,
polled only l04 votes, and in October los,
and now 1859, showing gain Of so per cent.
in one year, while the census, taken a few
weeks since, shows gain Of only 80 per cent.
in ten years, or 3 per cent. in one year
Chilisquaque, at the primary election of 1859,
polled 70. aud at the October election 100
Democratic votes, and now 1853. And yet,
according to the late census, the population
OF Chilisquaque township hos decreased from
1874 to 1912, being a loss of in the last ten
years. Delaware has also improved AZ votes
on the October election. But this is o pro.
gressive age, and we like to see progress,
when founded on permanent basis.
The votes having been counted, resulted
as follows: For Congress, J. j. Reimensny-
der, Of Milton Senator, WIN. r. Forsythe,
OF Northumberland Assembly, Samuel Ent,
of Shamokin Sheriff. David WaIdron, of
NJ ilton; Prothon otary, Daniel Beckley, late
Of Trevorton; Commissioner, Isaac d. Ra-
ker, of Little 81 uhapoy and Auditor, J.
II oiia, of Turbut.
The Democracy in the forks have the lion S
share, and will have no reason to complain,
while Sunbury is without single candidate.
