we have had enough of the working
men-we.want brains and money now!"
Sach was the taunting reply made by
one OF S. S. Blair's conferces when the
merits of A. A. Barker, as laboring man
and friend of laboring men, was brought
before the late Radical conference. Three
soft-handed lawyers and one hard handed
laborer were before that body for nomina-
tion to Congress. Mr. Bakers claims
were urged, as he was himself laborinp
man and the representative of the labor
cause, when the moneyed reply was made: i:
I'VE have had enough of the working men
we want brains and money nowr' And
the conference said--Amen

TnE Democratic Congressional conferees
from this district met at Bedford on Tues
day last to nominate candidate for Con
gress. Four gentlemen we're placed in
nomination J. Baer and A. III.
Coifrotb, Esqs., both of Somerset county,
and Major Jesse Il. Crawford and Col.
John Reilly, both of Blair county. We
are unable to state how the different bal
lots stood, but on the ninth ballot Mr..
Reilly had six votes and Mr.. Baer six.
After that ballot, and just before the tenth
one was taken, a telegraphic dispatch was
received from Mr.. Basr, at Somerset, in
which he absolutely declined where
upon the nomination of Colonel Reilly
was made unanimous. Mr. Kelley lives
in Altoona and fills the important position
OF Superintendent of Transportation for
the Pennsylvania Rail Road Company, ono
OF whose most honored and trusted officials
he is. He is native of Westmoreland
county, modest, unassuming, self made
man, and has always been true and con-
sistent Democrat. His popularity in AL
toona and throughout Blair county is con-
ceded, and if the district can be carried by
any Democrat, as we honestly believe il
can, John Reilly combines within him
self all the clements of success. He il
popular wherever known. and is we'll enoug gl
known as a gentleman of integrity anc
ability to make things quite warm if no
entirely too hot for his competitor.

The foregoing paragraph is taken from
the Johnstown Tribune of last Friday
We have something 10 say in reference to
to it. We have the authority Of several
leading Republicans from this place, who
attended the conference at the Summit
last week for saying that the editor Of the
Tribuns mado his appearance at the con
ference en- Wednesday night, the second
day Of its meeting-that, with his pocket
beck in his hand, he proclaimed that lie
could buy one of Barkers conferees for the
sum of 5000, and that he had the money
then and there fer that purpose. He was
careful not to state the name of the particu-
lar conferee whom lie proposed to Jri5e
but the impression was that he meant Can
tain Graham, of Johnstown, whs was Mr..
Barker's conferee from the south of the
county. The writer Of this knew Patrick

THE Republican conferees from this
Congressional district, after three days un-
successful balloting at Bedford. week be-
fore last, adjourned to meet at the Sum
nit in this county on Tuesday of last week.
They balloted there during three DAYS.
and it was not until the 27Ith ballot, on
the following Thursday night, that the
Gordian knot was united and a nomina-
tion was effected. On that ballot, S. S.
Blair received eight votes, John Cessna
one, and \. y. Barker three Blair re-
ceived the votes Of the conferecs from his
own county, the conferees from Somerset.
and two from Bedford-while Barker's
three conferees from this county voted for
him, first, last, and all the time. Each
one of them seems to have acted on the
defiant motto of the warrior chieftain,
who, when hemmed in and attacked bv
his enemies, planted himself against rocl,
with his face to his foes, and proudly ex
claimed
This rock from it's firm base shall ay
Sooner than L."
Well, it is certainly qualification to any
candidate to have such warm and devoted
friends.
We have nothing TO say against Mr..
Blair. We know him well as gentleman
OF ability, and, so far as we have ever
heard him spoken OF, his integrityis is not to
be questioned. 1t is due TO lIr Blair that
we should say this much. We are well
aware that this is decided Republican
district and that the Democracy, therefore.
Iabors under great disadvantages in pol
itical contest. But still the race is not al
ways to the swift. nor the battle to the
strong. We do not regard Mr.. Blair as
personally strong candidate with his own
party. He is essentially deficient in what
is called personal magnetism. That there
Is decided and openly expressed opposi-
tion to him in the northern section of this
county among leading Republicans, we
know, because we have heard them pub.
licly avow it. Whether or not this will be
the case on the day of the election we do
not pretend to say, and hence must wait
for coming events to develop themselves.
