We notice by the Pittsburgh Ma.
tionaI Reform Tribune, that something
like u Worlds Reform Convention il
to meet At Tyrone, on the 18th of Do.
cember. The editor in question says !
ave are informed that tho Tyrone
Convention Of Labor Rci6rmsrs promi.
ses u be well attended. Invitations
will be extended TO all honest men. The
aim Of this Convention Is not to play
into the hands Of some political party,
or .faror certain iadirldudis at sacrihce
Of principle, nor does il propose 10 tinker
with remedies and halfway measures
for social disorders, but TO reach II posi-
Bile 10 thcJottom ,rrongs lchich q6iicf soci.
ETY., and proclaim he real remedies needed.
IL Is to be simply u conference OF honest,
Intelligent workingmen, who desire to
start in the right path to bring about
prosperity to themselves as individuals,
and TO the Nation at large. 7ricksferS
are expected to absent themselves. This
is not u mere grecnback question. An
ocean of greenbacks would not crad-
cato existing SOCIAL derongements."
The italics are our own. None but
"honest men, will take hand in this
reform movement, nor will "certain
individuals" be overlooked, nor will
tho Convention tinker with "social
disorders but dive right at "thc bot
tom wrongs which afflict society," and
"proclaim the real remedies" This is
not all. The body is to be made up
of "honcst, intelligent men, with a
codicil warning "tricksters to absent
themselves for the purpose of 'eradi-
eating existing social arrangements"
Well, we confess we are little dis
appointed. We supposed the pro-
gramme of these "honest men" was to
rectiiy nnd cure political wrongs but,
accordingto this official announcement,
the only questions that are to be
treated by the Convention are the
"socia disorders" and arrangements
which aiilct society" We learned
from outsiders that this Convention
would be composed of honest" polti-
clans but it appears now that it will
be made up of clergymen, who are
HONESTLY looking aronnd for a
remedy to cure social Disorders.
Well, go ahead Mr.. Tribune, there is
room in that field for some honest
missionaries. Beware of the Judases
who may come nosing around. We
will keep lookout for tho "remcdy'
il it comes this way. We hope Clcar,
field will send n big delegation. We
have got lots of material Remember,
none but HONEST men will be adj
mitted TO seats among those who are
in search Of "bottom wrongs

A REvIEW or rHE ELECTION

A REIIEW or THE ELECTION,
Under our Primary Election Rules
II becomes the duty Of tho Democratic
County Committee to make an appor-

delegates to which each borough and

the Committee must adopt tho vote

additional one hundred Democratic votes, or o

the vote cast in 1872 and 1875, as well
as the loss and gain. in each district
If we are not mistaken, bat two
changes will occur. The Democrat;

election day, very properly lose dele

17s to li6, while Brady, whore they
turned out, gainsa delegate by running
their vote up from 32i to 352. Morris

JAY COOKE VS.. THE GOVERN
HENT

A Washington dispatch, of the Both
ult., says;
"Another interesting decision OF the
Supreme Court today was in the case
Of the United States against Jay
Cooke & Co. for the recovery of the
price paid for the redemption Of eight
cen 81 900 seven-thirty Treasury notes,
claimed 30 be spurious. The decision
below was that even though the firm
honestly believed the notes genuine,
and in good faith passed then to the
Assistant Treasurer of the United
States, and he, under the like belief,
received the notes and paid them, still
the Government was entitled 10 recover
if the notes were not genuine; that
even if received as genuine by the As
sistant Treasurer, that would not bind
the Government il the notes were not
in fact genuine also, that the act OF
issuing the notes was a physical act,
and although the notes were printed
from the genuine plates in the depart
ment and were oil ready TO issue, yet,
if they were not in fact issued, they
were not within the statute, and the
Government must recover. The de-
csion here rcverscs tho judgment and

The reduction of the vote in Boggs,
Burnside and Chest, is caused by the
erection of the boroughs of Wallaccton,
Burnside and Newburg, respectively,
within those townships since the last
Governors election. The loss in Bell,
Ferguson and Penn, Is caused by the
formation ofthenew townshipof Green
wood, which was taken off Of those
townships. Bell, nevertheless, nearly
held her own. Bell and Covington
did better than any other portion OF
the county. These townships are
isolated from all the new general i'm.
provements, and yet they show thrift
on election day over all Others. The
loss in Osceola was on account of the
late fire, and in Bradford, Decatur and
Pike, by staying at home.
The general result, however, is dc.
cidedIy favorable when we take into
consideration the universal suspension
in the lumber business. While the
Democrats lost but l59 on 1892, the
enemy fell short lT6 on 1895. Tho

A STARTLlNG FACT.

The Philadelphia Ledger certainly

10 be an ardent personal and politica
friend of Gen. Grant. Yet truth con
strains il to speak in its issue of the
9th ult., as follows
FThe national receipts and expcndi
turcs for the fiscal year which ended
with the aOth Of June do not justify
tho predictions made by Mvssrs Dawes
and Garfield, as ehairmcn respectively
Of the Ways and Means and Appropri,
ations Committees, at the adjournment
of Congress in 1874. These gentlemen
then promised that the expenditures ol
the Government for the fiscal ycar
1875 would be twenty-six million dol.
lars lcss than they had been il the
fiscal year 1874. A comparison Of
official figures shows that tho uct cx.
ponditures in 1875 were Sl7l ,529, ,8l7,
against sls7,6lS,9s5 in 1874, and, dc.
ducting the increased cost for account
of the navy in 1874 over 1875, there is
an actual increase in 1875 ofs2, ,345, ,S23.

On Saturday last, according to pre-

The caucus was called to order by
Hon. Fernando Wood, OF New York,
upon whose motion Hon. l.. @. c. La
mar, Of Mississippi, was made Chair
man, After speech from him, and
several preliminary motions, the caucus
proceeded to make nominations. Mr.
Clymer, of Pennsylvania, nominated
Hon. Samuel j. Randall for Speaker;
Mr.. Holman, Of Indiana, nominated
Hon. Michael G.. Kerr, Of the same
State, and Mr.. Hewitt, of New York,
nominated Hon. Samuel S. Cox, Of the
same State.

The nomination of Mr.. Kerr having
been made unanimous on this sugges.

takes the ground that "the Constitu.
