WALTHAM
w ATCH Il =.

| The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers.
and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength,
steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects
is to decide the question as to the real value of
these time keepers.
More than 4OO,OOO of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people-a proof and guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company Works at waltham, enable them to
produce Watches at price which renders compe-
tition futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from 25 to so per cent. more for their
watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices before
the war. There is no other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this can be
said
These tine pieces combine every Improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every in
vention in Matchmaking originating in this coun-
try, in Europe, only those we're finally adopted
which testing by the most skillful artisans in
our works, and long the part of the public
demonstrated to be essential to correct and endur
ing time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par,
ticularize:
The invention and use of a centre -pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main springs, is original
with the American Watch Company, who, having
had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted
Fogg's Patent pinion as being the best and fault
less.
| Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to be the
best, are used in all grades Of Waltham Watches.
All watham Watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement srom dust. and les sening
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
| other watches.
Our patent stem -winder, or keyless watch.
is already decided success and great improve
ment on any stem-winding watch in the American
market and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered to the public.
To CALIFORNIANS and others living in
| portions of the United States where watchmakers
| do not abound, watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy
cleanliness, durability and convenience must prove
| invaluable
| Every watch bearing the trade mark of Waltham
is guaranteed to be thoroughly reliable time
keeper.
To prevent imposition, buyers should invariably
L
| demand certificate of geuuineness.

The Crawford County Plan'' :Humbug.

Several newspapers, and number of men
in this State, who always make it point to
express dissatisfaction with all existing
things, and clamor vociferously for the adop-
tion of every new scheme and humbug origi-
mated, are now bowling in favor of the Grow
ford County plan" of making party nomina
tions. This plan, originated in Crawford
county, Pennsylvania, is as follows
Polls are to be opened, and ofhcered as
usual, in the various precints OF the county,
and the voters, instead of voting for delegates
to represent them in County Convention,
vote direct for the men Of their preference ior
the various Offices to be filled. The names
of such voters are to be duly recorded, the
ballot taken account of, and copy is to be
Immediately sent to the Chairman OF the
County Committee, who, in turn, is to cali
the members of the committee together ana
In their presence open and estimate the re-
turns, and those persons having plurality OF
votes cast for them are to be declared the
nominees of the party for the impending can
vass.
Now this plan looks fair enough on its face,
but it will not bear investigation. Any one
familiar with the workings of political rings
and combinations can readily perceive that
this plan affords ample opportunities for the
practice of political legerdemain and chican
cry. By this system several of the larger
precincts could combine and effectually con-
troll all county nominations, and the small
precincts would be utterly powerless to pre-
vent such consummation. Wire. .pullers,
by inducing number of candidates to run
and divide the vote of the small precincts,
could easily obtain a plurality vote for their
favorites by securing for them the undivided
vote of several of the large precincts. The
fact is, this plan throws the selection of all
candidates for official position into the hands
of any clique of managers sharp enough to
combine and control the vote of certain pre-
cincts in county like this. That such
combination would be formed wherever the
plan is adopted there can be no doubt. Even
in Pennsylvania, where the system origi-
ted, very few counties have adopted it, and
those which tried it have generally returned
to the old convention system the following
year after making the experiment Let US
avoid this new tangled plan and retain the
system sanctioned by experience and COM
mon sense.

HAMILTON FISH, Grants Secretary of State

elected to the State Legislature; was repre-
sentative in Congress from l843 to 1S45 !;

direction of Dunkirk. He checked the
headlong rush of his train and brought
it to stand still. 1t did not proceed
until three O clock in the morning.
The case took in another danger, and
it was imminent. A heavy freight train
was coming up the Lake Shore road. All
| will say of the escape of this ia that it
did escape to the side-track, and only
escaped by the last minute of possibility.
Banning on to safe distance from the
depot, the engineer of the oil train de.
tsched his engine, and left the six cars to
consume. he says his situation was
fully realized by him. He expected to
lose his life. At every moment he ex-
pected the engine to leave the track. BE
saw he was going at perilous rate Of
speed, but there was no help for it. The
demon was behind him, and he declares
that it looked like demon. With that
fondness, or real affection, for his engine
which these men display, be said, II
thought everything Of my engine, and was
determined to stay by it to the last The
fireman made one attempt to escape by
Jumping from the tender, but the engi-
neer restrained him. Altogether, the
occurrence was remarkable one, and
in part remarkable for this-no lives
were lost. The brakeman on the oil cars
had gone back to the passenger cars when
the oil cars started. 1t was well they
did. Unless these rear cars had been
detached and stopped, their inmates
would have been burned to death newt
ably.
