We announced by special dispatch TO the
RECORD yesterday, that Gen. Harry Allen,
of Warren, had been nominated for State
Senator for this District, by the Republican
Conferees at Franklin, who had been in ses-
sion from Monday until yesterday afternoon,
halIoting for candidate, the strife being
between Breden Of Venanso, Miller of Mer-
Ger, and Allen of Warren. The delegates
from Venango held s!eadfast to Breden even
unto the end, as did the Warren county del
egates TO Allen, but at the last moment the
Mercer delegates dropped their candidate,
Mller] and supported Allen, which gave
Warren County the nomination. The re.
suit is not particularly satisfactory TO the

our Congressman in this county are consid.

SPELLING NOT PRONUNCIATION

Once more there is project on foot In
England for bringing about Il reform IN
spelling, and the aid of the government has
been invoked to SECURE a spelling according
to pronunciation. Again we must aver
that snch a change is neither possible nor
desirable Spelling and pronunciation gro
or should be essentially different ihings;
the first should be governed as far as pos
sible by the etymologes, in order thai the
origin Of works may be remembered and
their truo meaning be preserved white
pronunciation Is natter offashion and rs
continually changing There neget wcs,
to our knowledge, . iang@go pronounced
as 1t was spelled, and pTo5abiy there never

spelling With pronunciation Is the olspFing
Of ignorance, and wholly unworthy The
