To impartial observer from stand
point outside of the State, the contest
in Ohio, at the outStsrt, seemed du-
bous one. The doctrine proclaimed by
the Democratic party struck the whole
country as novel, and many of the best
friends of that party were shocked AT
what seemed fiat Inconsistency with the
time-honored principles ever before pro-
tossed. In certain sense the new
PRONUNCIATION was novelty. 1t was, in
deed, reversal of policy upon II vita!
measure and the doctrine Of paper cN-
pansion however cautiously Imtedl
was assuredly something new in Dem
ocratic confession of faith. Accordingly
a shock was experienced by those with
out the state and by many within 1t, who
had considered the matter not rs the
earnest thoughtful men who formed the
power in the Ohio convention had; their
sense OF consistency was disturbed,
and they were carried away with panic.
Yet there was absolutely no lnconsls-
tcncv whatever, in the position taken,
and this, the country nOw-atter the re-
deeming sober second thought begins
20 see with hopeful clearness. 1t was Il
reversal opposition made to meet and still
keep face to face with the political enemy
the money power; It was II change
made in conformity with the changed
condition of the country, So that the
relative position of the Democratic party
thereto might remain as before sup.
porting its true interests. W hen the
money powers demanded the sacrifice OF
the countrys interests that they might
have their bonds, at II rate OF ruinous DIS
count, the Democratic party opposed
them, and now, when in the moving cycle
Of financial revolution the eXigencieS
OF those same powers demand payment
of their bonds. IN duplicated value, the
Democracy again and consistently oppose
them. And thus the true position ot the
party being understood, It's consistency
demonstrated and ITS sincere purpose
appreciated, the doubts that beclouded It's
prospects ut the opening of the cam
paign are dispelled, and victory Is seen
perching upon the banner borne 50 gal
iantlv by the veteran conqucrOr, Gov.
VII lam Allen.
JUDGE Wilson arrived here Saturday,
to commemorative fall circuit with the
term of circuit court which begins her"
to-day. The public had expected that
the Mnyhews would be tried nj this
term for the larceny of Squire Lees ba-
con. but learn that owing to legal i'm
pediments in the way the trial cannot
take place until sometime in the winter.
Meantime the prisoners, or ut least, one
Of them. will be sent to he Wheeling
Jail for safe keeping. The sheriff OF the
county has been informed that rs1ulS-
ton has been made by the Governor ot
Pennsylvania on Governor Jacob for

authorities of Allegheny county, on a
charge of murder-the particulars OF

You know all about the regular har-
vest crops of Hancock from former letters,
and as to the irregular one of buckwheat,
I am filled with the true lnwardnesS OF
rejoicing to be able 10 report the pros
pcct to be first class. There will be a
large Weld, unless unexpected misfortune
oyertake the blooming promise.
