] LOCAL PoLITICs.-The political cam
paign is opening up bravely. With your
permission. propose to take look at the
stu alton from Democratic standpoint,
and shall endeavor to keep you posted as
to what is going on.
John Porter, of Hemlock, will undoubt-
edly be nominated for Assembly. He has
no opposition, for Gen Potts will not be a
candidate since the establishment of the
District Court at Johnstowu
There will be a fight for Register and
Recorder. Geo. w. Oatman, ofEbensburg,
is supposed to have the inside track, for
the reason that he had the next highest
number of votes to Griffin, the present in
cumbent, four years ago. But Thomas
McKernan, of Cambria City, is after him
with sharp stick. Thomas lives in an
extremely enlightened communicable
''Five Points" of Cambria county Democ-
racy you might call it--and will therefore
receive much support. Other candidates
are mentioned, who will be named here
after.
The Dem. Co. Com will meet in the
Court House, Ebensburg, on the 9Th prox-
imo, to select conferees to go to Harris
burg on the 14th of July to support Hon
c. L. Pershing for Governor.
