WYsoX, Bradford Co., Pa, Sept. 20, 1875
Messrs. Dallas Saunders, f.. b. Hawley, 5.
f.. AncOna, VIM. Patton and Is. G. Sawyer,
Committee of the Democratic State Conven-
ton, appointed to notify me of my nomina-
ton as Il candidate for State Treasurer: GEN
Hemea For the kind words you employ in
the discharge of this duty, permit me to
thank you. In accepting, as ! hereby do
the honorable position of candidate for State
Treasurer, allow me to say there is nothing
personal in this entire proceeding. My
nomination was the unsolicited and free-will
offering of the representatives of that portion
of the people of Pennsylvania who are anX-
ious, nay determined, to arrest and finally
overthrow the ruinOus measures that have
loaded our people with unnecessary taxation
and prostrated the industrial pursuits that
afforded the labOring class employment and
the means of support for themselves and
those dependent upon them. The admins
tratiOn of the State and the National govern
ments has been and is in direct conflict with
the true interests of our lab0ring masses, can
not be upheld by the exercise of the official
power or the force of party nor will an in
telligent and thoughtful people (such as
characterize our State) forego the principle
of sound morality in the conduct of public
affairs. The mass of the people in Pennsyl,
vania have for years persistently demanded
a true exhibit Of the condition Of their State
Treasury. Ny nomination is wholly due to
general belief that if intrusted with the of
flee there would be no concealment from the
public of its exact condition or current OPP
erations. The resolutions embody and set
forth the real purpose of the earnest and in
tellgent gentlemen forming the convention,
composed of true representatives in sympathy
with the thousands whose enforced idleness
is fast reducing them to penury and want
whose occupations and pursuits should be
honored and not overthrOwn. Without fur
ther comment, | desire to be understood as
giving my unqualified and hearty concur
renee to all these resolutions, and ! iirml y
believe, il adopted by the American people
as governmental measure, we will attain
immediate relief in all branches of our pros
trare industries and enter upon new career
OF prosperity, am, most respectfully, your
friend, VIcToR L. PIoLLET,

Political parties are overly sensitive to the
elements of success. They will not long ad-
here to measures or professions that con-
SANITY defeat them, however tenacious they
may be Of deeper principles, as has been il
lustrated in the latter respect by the Democ-
racy over and over again but more especial
ly since 1860. Therefore if the Democrats
are defeated in Ohio and Pennsylvania al
the ensuing elections, every body will yield
to the policy of severe and rapid contraction
of the currency, as the means by which spe'
Gle payments are TO be reached, in preference
to the policy proclaimed in the Democratic
platforms of those States. Democratic de-
feat in those States will be sure to compe
the party TO yield to the policy Of contrac
ton. Any man who has judgment vii
readily perceive this for himself If yoter
desire greater scarcity of money they cal
reach that end by voting for the Republi
cans. fthey desire better times they mus
vote with the Democracy to sustain the pol
icy of moi contracting the currency furthe

'
ent writing from Harrisburg, Pa, says;
"The committee that is seeking to investi-
gate the Treasury has unearthed some pecu-
liar items from Mackey's books. One item
gives the information that 81 900 was paid
for Il door to Gov. Hartranft's stable, On
another page of the book we are gravely in
formed that one hundred bird boxes were
put up in the State Capitol grounds for
$4,000 But each pigeon hole is counted a
box, and there are one hundred Of these in
all the bird houses perched on long poles
about the grounds. Therefore, each pigeon
hole, or bird box, as the books style them,
cost the State S25, while each is really worth
no more than thirty or forty cents, or per-
haps less Some $4,000 or So, 400 has been
realized by some one from this source alone.
The Republican papers say the stable
doors referred to are made of pine. If it
costs the State $1,000 to make a pair of pine
doors for Gov, Hartranit's stable, it is worse
than though they were made of walnut,

Republican organs are engaged in the work
of misrepresenting the Prohibitionists, wit h
zeal that is worthy of better cause. 1t
shows that they begin to realize the fact
that the good and true men who have acted
with them against armed rebellion, to save
the nation, do not propose to stand by and
see the whiskey ring destroy it, just to Sa ce q

AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG COLUMBIA COUNTY. PA,
The Senatorial Conference

Pursuant to appointment the conierees
from the counties of Columbia, Lycoming,
and Sullivan, met at Willamsport on the
22d inst, but for some unexplained reason
those from Montour failed to attend The
conferees present finally adjourned the con-
ference, without formal organization, to meet
at the Exchange Hotel, Bloomsburg, on the
lith of October. The Wiliamsport Ga
sette 6 Bulletin gives the following facetious
account of the proceedings.
Something is evidently the matter with
the Hon. Thomas Chalfant, Senator from
this district and candidate for denomination
The candidates and conlerees from three
counties have been in this city for two days
waiting to hold q conference which could
not be complete without the presence of
Challant and his conferees But they did
not come. Those present gathered at the
City Hotel Wednesday morning and talked
the matter over, and then they went to the
llerdic House and talked it over, and finally
came down town and talked it over some
more. And then they adjourned till yester-
day morning, the Columbia and Sullivan
county representatives getting little indig-
nant in the meantime. Yesterday morning
hii p"itlV -'NeCItillS, vi COuISt, ully DOuN
from Montour-gathered down town and
had little conversation, and then they
marched up town and had a little more con
versation, and telegram was received from
Senator Chalfant that neither he nor his
conferees could meet here this week. The
conference was thereupon adjourned to meet
at Bloomsburg on October lIth then every
body marched down town again And so it
is a question what is the matter with the
statesman Of Montour. Did he have hope
that the conferees here would get into such
"A fight that they could only extricate them
selves by nominating him, without any of
his aid? Or was he afraid to face the music
and carry out the promises he is believed to
have made when he was nominated at the
last conference? There is a story that he
promised assistance to both Columbia and
Sullivan, and of course he cannot carry out
two such promises.
1t is not correct that Chalfant made any
promise to Columbia county three years ago.

1t may be claimed for Hartranlt that he
fought against traitors, but Pershing's whole
public life has been battle against thieves,
aud as the State is in more danger just now
from thieves than it is from traitors there Is
need of an honest Statesman at Harrisburg
rather than soldier who is weak in the
Cabinet. Patriot,

Grants friends now have hopes that he can be
made the hard money candidate for President
in 1876, and that the Republican National Con-
vention will re-nominate him on that plank.
But he cannot win, no matter what platform he
may accept.

The Republicans, says the Cincinnati En-

5000 in Connecticut, of $4,000 in California
and 5000 or 10000 in Mane are owing to
local causes. 1t is a curious local cause which
is felt at the same time in the opposite ex-
trcmes ofthc Unionand which has permeated
every State which has voted.
