I he Democratic Nominee for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.
louisville Correspondence, 10Th, of Philadel-
phia Times.) ,
Judge Pershing is one Of the most I'M
assuming Of men, never seeking office,
but when chosen to fill one lie has always
n ade those who have chosen him feel
proud of their judgment. At the Court
House to-day he was surrounded by an
admiring crowd anxious to hear what the
gentleman whom they believed would be
our next Governor had to say, The NOM
nation seems to have been unexpected bv
him, and he says he had no desire. for it,
and only the earnest solicitation of friends
induced him TO permit his name to 90 be-
fore the convention. But that being nom-
mated, he will, il elect ed, cheer:ully un.
dertake the duties Of the Office, and per-
form them impartially and to the best of
his ability.
He believes that the great need of the
present is to secure for the people an hon
est and economical government, and to
awaken SO deep an interest in public az.
fairs among the whole mass of the people
and such jealous appreciation Of the re-
ciprocal rights and duties of the
governing and the governed that such an
utter disregard Of these rights and
duties as has characterized the admins
tration Of public affairs during the
past fifteen years may in the future be
impossible. That thorough rcorganiza-
ton of all branches Of government is nec-
essary so that no more persons shall have
public employment than is necessary to
perform the work.
On the subject of the finances Mr..
Pershing was reticent, not desiring to ex-
press any opinion upon subject which
had so little to do with the Office for
which he has been nominated. lie said
that political platforms meant very lit
tie at this Gay. That in the United
States every year. for many years, an av.
erage of seventy.two platforms had been
adopted, and yet but little, if anything,
had been accomplished by them. That
he supposed many Republicans would
stand on the Democratic platform and
vote the Republican ticket and rice persa.
If the people OF Pennsylvania should
elect Judge oershing they will certainly
have reformcr for Governor, who, in
the administration Of public affairs, will
know neither friend nor foe, and will never
be influenced by either fear or favor. lie
came to this county in the interest OF
reform, and in the few years he has been
here he has untiinchingly performed eve
ry duty Of his office as judge. The peo<
pie of Schnylkiil county appreciate this,
and will give him large majority.

Mining District in Alaska.
Washington, 18th, to Louisville Courier
Journal
People some years ago smiled at the
idea Of paying seven millions of dollars
for Alaska, upon the ground that the pos
session was valueless. From recent re-
ports to the Treasury Department from
the Collector at Sitka it appears that the
possession promises to be very valuable
one-that is, if the recent reports are
verified. The most important of the re-
ports forwarded by the Collector is one
made by practical miner who has been
exploring Alaska. He reports that he
has found very rich silver mining region,
one Of the richest in the world in natur.
al indications. His report is very ample
in its details, and gives a most glowing
description Of the untold wealth of this
newly discovered region,
The discovery Of this mine involves
also an international question, as since
then some British Canadians have come
in and squatted upon the territory, claim
ing that it lies within the British domin-
ions. The Collector Of the Port at Sitka
is decidedly Of the opinion that the mines
lie in American soil. This latter point
has been submitted to the State Depart.
ment for investigation. If the mines arc
as rich as Representative doubt there will
he a struggle over them, as a. present
British subjects have them in their pos
session.
