ELECTION, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER
sENAToRIAL CONVENIENCE

A brief report of the senatorial conference last
week, closed at the l50th ballot without a choice
and an adjournment to Willamsport. The con-
ference met pursuant to adjournment, at the
Herdic House in Wlliamsport, on Wednesday,
Oct. 90, all the conierecs present. Hon. John
G. Freeze resumed the chair and called the con-
ference to order. Mr.. Cumnin took his place
as secretary, and the balIoting proceeded With
varying fortunes and unsatisfactory results it
continued. 1t was really a beautiful contest of
acute and trained politicians, desiring by all fair
and honorable means to secure the selection Of
their respective candidate. Quietly ballot sue
cecded ballot combination followed combination,
but the wary voter still cast his ballot so as to
prevent any other result than that he wished,
though unable to compass the choice of his
county.
There was no abatement of good humor Of
gentcmanly courtesy, or of patient and eager
watchfuness. SO ballotngs and adjournlnents
continued until it was sufficiently manifest that
there was but one gentleman before the conven-
ton upon whom a sufficient number could unite
to make a nomination.
Three hundred and five ballots having been
had without Il choice, on the 306th Columbia
county led off for Robert p. Allen Of Lycoming,
and all the other conferees following, he receiy-
ed the unanimous vote of the conference, and
was declared duly nominated,
On motion, the chair appointed Messrs. Cum
min and MclIenry committee to inform Mr.
| Allen of his nomination and request his accept
ance. He appeared in company with the com
mittee, when the chairman announced to him
that he had been unanimously nominated on the
306th ballot as the Democratic candidate fol
senator in the oath district.
Mr.. Allen replied briefly, rendering his thanks
and accepting the nomination, and pledgint
himself to honesty and fidelity in his official ca
reer.
Mr. Jackson, of Sullivan, was called for, an'
complimented MrAllcn on his success, and SAT-
that Sullivan would support him.
Mr.. Barkley, of Columbia, thanked the con
ference for its long continued and patient labo
over his and the claims of the other candidate
was sure that the county would, as he woulc
give cheerful and steady support to Mr.. Aller
Mr.. Challant said it was not time for speec
making, said the Democracy would win, Mr.. A
len would he elected, and would have happ
time over the politics of Lycoming county.
The chairman then, with thanks to the cor
ferees for the compliment of the chairmanshi
of the body and their courtesy and kindness, dc

The Presbyterian Synod of Harrisburg has
been in session at Lewistown. This is the Syn
cd to which the Presbyterian churches of this
county belong and is one of four covering the
State of Pennsylvania, viz: Philadelphia, llar-
risburg, Erie and Pittsburg 1t reaches across
the State, north and south, containing the pres
byeries of Carlisle, Huntington, Northumber-
land and Wellsboro. 1t enrolls about l4O min
listers, 700 elders, and about 10000 communi-
cant members
1t met on the DIST. Rev Samuel I. Mlliken
of Sunbury was elected Moderator Mr.. Milli-
ken being native of Lewisown, as well as a
most worthy minister, the unanimity and cordi-
ality of this election was very gratifying to his
friends in Lewistown. Among the correspond
ing members was the Rev. |. NJ. Riemensnyder,
formerly of Espy.
Besides the usual ecclesiastical business, very
sermons preached. Addresses were delivered
by representatives of the various benevolent
schemes of the Church. The spacious building
was well filled, day and evening, by the Synod
and the people of Lewstown.
The Synod recommended form of charter for
the civil organization Of new or imperlectly or
ganized churches. 1t had been prepared by
committee year ago. was amended on consul
taton with Il committee Of the Synod of Pitts
| burg, and has also been recommended by that
| Synod
I'VE regret that the late receipt of the above
report, and the unusual amount of political
matter, prevents the publication Of the form Of
| charter,-EDs,
The Synod adjourned on Monday, the 25th

Among numerous other instances of the man.
ner in which our late county fair was conducted
we give the following from the Gazette Il BUitc-
tin:
"A species of sharper dodge was attempted on
the Bloomsburg band by the managers of the
fair at that place last week. The agricultural
society offered premium OF twenty-five dollars
to the best band, and for this munihcent sum 1t
was required that the band should furnish the
music during the three days of the exhibition
The Bloomsbury band is no such cheap affair,
and so very courteously but emphatically resist
ed the glittering temptation"
1t could hardly be expected that sixteen men,
the number in our band, would leave their busi-
ness for three days for the paltry sum of twenty
| five dollars. Seventy-ive or eighty dollars
would be reasonable figure for their services
and we admire their spirit in refusing to be
drawn in by the very thin promise of being
awarded a premium of twenty-five dollars. Thei
reputation as a musical organization does no
require any such bolstering up as dtptom'
from the Columbia County Agricultural Societ.
would afford. We know there are some gentle
men connected with the society who desire IL
conduct it on what Is in truth the most econom
cal basis, but we presume they are overruled
We understand the Berwick band got the pre-
MUM. There was no competition.

MAIN GAMRIING

A Young farmer who, perhaps never gambled
in his life, hears that fair Is to be held ny SON
agricultural society or, maybe, he reads some
flaming advertisement of it. He goes to the fair
to see the fine stock and the fine ladies, the hair
less horse, the girl with four legs, and the wild
men of Borneo, and to hear the band play and
see the horses run; or to witness the plown5
match, maybe. He goes for enjoyment, enter
tainment and instruction. When he arrives up
on the grounds he finds himself Unexpectedly in
the midst of a forest of gambling tables, wheels
of fortune, lotteries of all kinds and descriptions
and surrounded on every side by host Of stran-
gers, gamblers, tricksers, swindlers, cheats
rogues, rascals, vilians-human vultures gath

Hon. David Lowenbcrg, mayor of the city of

in the act Of negotiating with Thodc Hill for
permanent boarding at the llerdic House, when
he was surprised at the announcement that a
nomination had just been made.-Gasett & Bui-

On behalf of his honor, the Mayor, we would
state that he was somewhat disappointed that a
nomination for senator was made so soon after
his arrival, as he would have enjoyed spending

Many of our citizens did not attend the fair
lately held at Bloomsburg, assigning as rea-

not patronize gambling institutions. We know
from our own observations that fully two-thirds
of the people who reside in this end of the coun-
ty were not present, and had the managers been
more liberal to the press, paid less in premiums
for horse-racing and more for the products Of
the soil and household II large majority o.
those who stayed at home could have been in

HELP TO MOTHERS NURSING INFANTs.-
1t is conceded fact that mothers who have
the care, anxiety and draught of nursing in
fants are weak and need the aid of some
strengthening tonic to make up the nour-
ishment required for the growth of the
child Ale, porter, and lager beer have often
been recommended. OF late, since physicians
have become aware that Port Grape Wine
produced by Alfred Speer, of Passaic, n. j.,
is strictly pure thay have prescribed it in
stead of ale and porter, This wine is prin-
cpally sough Gor by mothers who have nur-
sing infants as the best supply medium to be
found. The wine is rich in body and not in
toxicating but gently stimulating. Druggists
generally keep it, and sell it for a dollar a
bottle. .-Enquwer.
