A HARp-MoNFy COALITION ON KERR FOR srEAEEl.
AND TiLpEN FOR OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES rs BAYARD?
Special Dispatch to The Ne,s York Times.
WAsHINaToN, Oct. 2I.-It has leaked ont hero
that coalition was recently made between the
hard money Democratic Congressman OF New
York aud the Eastern States and those OF the
West to unite in supporting Michael q. Kerr OF
Indiana for Speaker of the House, tho Western
partisans of Kerr agreeing to support Tilden for
the Democratic nomination for President i'll con
sideraton OF the support given Kerr for Speaker
by the East
THE ELECTION OF KERR
under this arrangement and the fact that Wes-
tern Democrats arc divided upon Western man
for President give the friends of TiIden cause
to hope for his success in the National Demo
cratic Convention. Should this coalition succeed
in electing the Speaker of the House, the great
power and influence of that position would be
directed to advance the political fortunes of TIL
dor. Since tho Ohio election prominent Demo
Gratis freely admit

and acknowledge the election of Randall would
perpetnate the bunder and mako their defeat

candidate Of the inlationisis; aud the hard-money
Democrats believing his election as Speaker

Mr. II. u. STEVENS:
DEAR SIR This is 10 show that my son was taken
sick In January, 1864, with ScI0fula which came
out in large and ulcers on his leg and hip. HIS
leg was swelled more than twice Its natural slH'.
lie had several doctors OF high standing In their
prOfession-two from Boston and three from
,!liarestown- without getting bit better, He was
Obliged lie wherever he placed, for he had no
use OF hts limbs wha'ever. When we had given up
All hopes Of his living we were tod to try NEtiE.
TINE, the great blood remedy and he. had taken II
ht short time before could see great change.
The sores run so bad that we had ~ change the
cloths four or i've times day. Still, he WAS getting
better for he could move his limbs and help him
SELF little. He was able to sit up In bedand,
by constant use OF vE9BTINE. 1t has cured him.
lie has lame leg, which he Will probably have for
hfe but we ali honestly believe, II we had used
vEGErINE before we had bothered with those doc
tors, IL would have saved ithe use OF his leg and
restored 1t to natural health. ! hope all those
troubled with Scroula will read this testimony OF me
and my son, who is now well and able to speak for

INDEPENDENT "a .vDIDATES.

lNDEPENDENT "a VDlDA1ES.
Our Republican friends, or rather their
leaders, for the rank and file of the party
do about the science of finance, think a lot
of independent candidates to run against
the ticket would be able to do something.
And so they would. One managed last
year to do something. He got badly rout-
ed, and from the steps of the Court House
afterwards tried to explain howit was that
he had run, and that he was still a conser-
vative. The reply of the mob of angry
conservatives was short and to the point:
eyes! HI is full Of such conservatives
as you are" We have no means of ascer-
tanning how many independent candidates
there are in the place mentioned, but we
expect Il good many, for there is no quick
er or surer road to political damnation
than through an independent candidacy.
"Brethren," said an earnest Western
r~evivalist, ''don't lose your own soul. You
may lose your horse and you can get
another; you may lose your house and you
car get an ,ther; you may lcse your wife
and you can get another, but if you lose
your everlasting soul-Good-b bye john"
And so it is in party politics: you may
quarrel inside the party us much as You
please and it's all right; you may fight
against conventions before they act, and
be forgiven, but if you run independent
Goodbye. John!

A CRAZY NEGRo.-Fred Douglas, in
an interview with a reporter OF the "Na
tionaI Republican," of W ashington, shows
that lie has lost his head. He said:
If the negro must die at the South, my
advice to them is to sell tn il lives as dear
ly as possible. Let it be seen by these
cowardly mobocrats that in attempting to
slaughter black men they invite the knife
to their own :hrOats, and fire and rapine
to tlIeir own hea rth-stones, and they will
cease.
This sort of wild talk would, if they
could read, be read with establishment by
the blacks in Virginia, who are quietly
pursuing their work, and living about as
peacefully and with as little molestation
as any peasantry on earth.

The PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC No
MINATIoNs.-The Pennsylvania State De-
mocratic Convention has made excellent
nominations on the honesty platform, and
the N. Y. Tribune" says of the candi-
dates for Governor and Treasurer:
The ticket nominated is an u~nexception-
ally strong one. In all Pennsylvania two
mel could scarcely be found who so well
%personify the popular desire for vigorous
reform measures and infiexible honesty in
administration as do Judge Pershing and
Mr.. Piolett. The Judge has just SEN
fenced two Democratic Commissioners in
Schuylkill county to the penitentiary for
corruptly profiting from contracts for
building a courthouse. He will be put
forward in the canvass as a Pennsylvania
Tilden, who will smash the rings at Har-
rlsburg II transfer the thieves from the
Capitol to the State prison. Mr.. Piolett's
character and antecedents are a perfect
guaranty that he will, if elected. expose
the secrets of the corrupt State Treasury
Ring, and introduce integrity into a de-
partment OF the Government where it has
been a stranger for many years.
The convention also passed resolutions
opposing the Republican plan of c~ontrac-
ton of currency, which action has set the
Ohio Democracy wild with delight, and
the Cincinnati Enquirer" Says that with
this endorsement old William Allen will
carry Ohio by so 900 majority.

T0GNE POLITICS.

What has brought on the Conservative
party of Staunton the final catastrophe
of a Republican Mayor, chosen by Il Con-
sentative Council, has been what may be
called loose politics. 1t is an expressive
term and may be graphically illustrated.
When Mr.. Robt. G. Bickle, a Democrat,
leaves the r..nks and votes for Grant and
acts as a committee of reception to public
ly receive Senator Wilson, then acting in
the capacity Of Il Republican stlmper; and
when he afterwards, at the State election
in Virginia, when everything We had was
at stake, voted Tor Hughes and was an
active man ut the polls for him, and when
after all that an intelligent Conservative
says he ''diin't know Mr.. Bickle was a
Republican," then that may be called
loose politics. When Mr.. Jno. b. Evans,
who WAS appointed a member OF the Board
of Directors of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind
Instit ution by Gov. Kemper, because he is.
or.is supposed to be, d lnslnoer of the Con
sentative party, n,nilates III his sat d
Councilman, Harvey Risk, a Republican,
and Federal officer holder for City Ser
geant against II Conservative, cher that
may BE called loose politics. When seven

not to vote for a Republican Candidate for
| Mayor, refuse to vote for Mr.. Chas. Graf
tan, II Cons -rvAtive, and voted for and
elected Mr.. r ,bt. G. Bickle, u prominent
Republican; then hat may be called loose
politics, and such 10 ieness as would, iftol
Grated, very shortly cause the strongest
| party in the world to go to pieces.

Our little town was, indeed, saddened a
few days ago, just as the sun had dropped
beneath the Western sky, at the unexpect-
ed intelligence of the death of one of our
most beloved former citizens, MI. d. H.
Shulz, who had very recently left our
midst for Indiana, where he was taken
sick shortly after his arrival there, and
was confined to his bed for five weeks, un-
til tie 'King of Terrors'' came. What
makes it more distressing is the fact that
no one in the community, not even the
members of his WI family, knew Of his
sickness. His funeral was preached by
Rev. Thomas Briley, and he was buried by
the Masons, of whom there were forty
present, representing the lodges at Staun-
ton, Waynesboro, Newport and Greenville.
During the ceremony many had to raise
the handkerchief to brush away the I'M
comfortable tears, that had secretly stole
their way to the cheek. There were be-
tween three and four hundred persons pre-
sent.
