If there is any voter In Cambria conn
ty, and we have no doubt there is, who
has not yet heard that we are an aspirant
for nomination for the office of county
treasurer, subject to Democratic rules, we
hope our friends, if we have any, will en-
tighten him on that subject. If the Dec
laration of Independence knows anything
about it, all men are created free and
equal, and we have just as much right to
be nominatcd-Or defeatCd-in the county
convention as any other man. Therefore
we announce ourself as perfectly willing
to serve the dear people, and make all
we can honestly out of The office, provided
we are nominated and elected. Failing
in that, we sh I'll Oe no worse OF nor any
less democrat than we are at present
writing.
