"LoYAL" PATRIoTs The "loyaI"
State Convention which met in Har-
risburg last week was made up of
Revenue Assessors, Collectors, Post
masters, and "sich" There were not
ten decent disnterestcd men in it,
who looked TO the interests of the
State rather than their own personal
aggrandizement 1t was complete

PLENTY.-The Delaware and East
ern Shore Maryland peach growers
held a convention at Dover, Delaware,
last week. They report that from
present appearance they will ship
three million five hundred thousand
baskets the coming season. This is
100000 more than were shipped in
1869, the champion peach year.
More than five hundred thousand new
trees were planted the past season.
A TRANsMuTATIoN.-The Radical
nominee for Auditor General was

county, before the Convention, but
since we notice he goes by the name
of Colonel Stanton, relative Of that

promotion and military tide through
mere favoritism or for Hospital servi-

whom our "loyal millions" had so
much love while at the front keeping
the "rebels' back, and yet failed to
nominate one at Harrisburg last week.

ing the circulars with which our can
didates are flooding the county We
will just now inform them that we did
not print them. And more, if they
consider IL wrong they would "hit the
nail on the head" if they would cen
sure the authors instead of the prin
ters. Others again growl because
we refused 10 print them for this or
that candidate. This is half the
truth. Now, If they will just state
that we refused all, they will "ht tho
nail on the head too. Had VIC not
long since given up the idea of pleas
ing everybody, these things would
annoy us; nevertheless, we prefer not
to be made the escape goat for can.
