LAST week being the first week of
Court, and the rural districts being
well represented, the radical candidate
for County Treasurer undertook to in
gratiate himself into high favor with
the Democracy In a way that was de
cldedly peculiar. Initiating the bel
ligerent Irishman who, when his in
experienced son was about starting
for DonneybroOk Fair, said to him :
Whenever you see a head, my boy,
hit it," this verdant radical office-seek-
er, whenever he saw a Democrat, trent
for h1m. No one escaped his untir-
ing and ceaseless solicitations. and
scores of Democrats who probably
never knew of his existence before,
discovered, under compulsiOn, that he
had a local habitatiOn and a name.
He supplemented his personal appeals
with unknown quantities of lager beer,
and Democrats were importuned to in
dulge in that Teutonic beverage with
out limit and without price.
When it is considered that this same
loyal Republican would at any time
walk three miles ''in thunder, lightning
and in rain" to cast his vote against
Democrat, his present love for that
class of men is eminently disgusting
and is entirely too thin to wash If
he is green enough now to suppose
that he can seduce Democrats to vote
for him by rushing them into lager
beer saloon, he will be a much wiser
and sadder man on the night of the
second Tuesday of next October. The
Democrats of this county know how
to distinguish between friend and a
bitter en1my, and they intend teach
ing this fussy, irrepressible radical
lesson in politics which he will
long remember and which, it is to be
hoped, will curb his political aspira-
tions for all time to come Even if
it were possible for him to be elected,
he could not and would not attend to
the duties of the Office, as his priuci-
pal business is in Mexican county, and
not in Cambria. He. is simply run
ming in the interest of and for the ben
eft of another man, and if elected that
other will act as Treasurer. He IS
therefore seeking the office and asking
Democrats to vote for him under the
plainest offalse pretenses. The Dem
ocratic party has candidate of its
own, who is entirely competent to dis
charge the duties of the Treasurer's
office, and it intends to elect him, and
not confer its favors on bitter, vim
dictfve political opponent who be
lieves that Democrat has no rights
which radical is bound to respect.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6, 1878. Gentle

The nomination 10y the Convention you

This letter l understand was read TO the
Convention.
The judicial office, when voluntarily ten
dered, especially to one already in commits
sion as a judicial officer, cannot be de-
clined.
My duty therefore seems to be as imper-
ative as it is plain, and | accept the nomi-
nation.
Thanking the Convention for what under
the circumstances cannot but regard as
a very great honor

WEST YORKSHIRE MINERS. On Tuesday
there was a conference at Leeds between a
number Of West Yorkshire coal ownefs and
the delegates Of the Miners Association in
the same district. Mr. Robert Tenant
occupied the char and the discussion as IL
whether the wages Of the miners should be
lowered 10 per cent, consequent on the re-
duoed price Of coal, occupied 4 long time
There appeared 70 be no probability Of the
parties coming TO an arrangement, the
mIneIs contending that several Of the coal
masters were not inclined to reduce wages
At the present time, while the owners con
tended that lower wages should follow
lower coal. Ultimately, the meeting was
ad lOurned for another week, but il is rather
i'm ,,robable, says or correspondent, that
either party will give way.
At the last conference uf the Miners Ma
uoLal Association, MIR Mcdonald made
the following remarks:

REDUCTION OF WAGES A LEGAL
CAUSE FOR STRIKE

A decision has been rendered, recently
in case tried before the Superior Court
of New York City, that involved the i'm
portant question of strikes. fine plaintiff,
a railroad company, had contracted t" de
liver to the defendants certain number
Of tons Of coal The contract was So worded
that the plaintiff was to be released from
the performance Of it in case Of storms. dis
asters or strikes. After delivering a few
duction Of he wages paid to its employees.
Thereupon they struck, and the company
could deliver no more coal under the con
tract The defendants refused to pay for
the coal already delivered, and the cumpa-
the defendants set up as counter-clalm
the falnre to carry out the contract The
plaintiff put IN a replication, setting up that
the failure was caused by a strike. which
released them from the duty Of fulfilling
the agreement The decision Of the court
was, that as the strike was caused ~ the
plaintiff in reducing the wages Of its work
men, it could not use the occurrence for its
own advantage.
This, 70 our way II thinking, is legal
recognition Of a strike AT least against 4
