nation of DanfOrd for Congress

A large and enthusiastic meeting oi
the Republicans of Jefferson county,
was held at Steubenville, on Saturday
for the purpose of electing delegates
to the State Convention, with the fol-
lowing result: Delegates, Hon. ].
Dunbar. Hon. ]. I. Updegraff, Hon.
r. G. Richard, P. B. Conn, Hon. Saln'l
Ford, John Q. MCGOWAN, D. S. Bruce,
Jno. Kirk, and Capt. L. w. Suther-
land.
The Convention declared in favor OF
Hayes for President, Danford for Con-
gress, and Hon. Robt. Martin for Sec
retary OF State.
The following from the Herald in re-
ference to Mr.. Danford is of interest to
his fellow citizens of this County:
Hon. j. T. Updegraff offered the fol.
lowing resolution, which was seconded
by Col. Holiday:
Resolved, That having full conf
dence in the integrity and ability of
our present member of Congress, Hon.
Lorenzo Danford, and holding in lust
gratitude his faithful services to the
Republican party, not on y in this Dis
trict, but in the State and Pennsylya-
MIA, we earnestly urge him TO forego
his desire to retire from his present po-
sitlon at the end of the 44th Congress.
and again become our standard be arer,
believing it to be for the interest aud
harmony ofthe Republican party of the
District, and rendering him our hearty
support.
Hon. j. Dunbar said he was in favor
of the adoption of the resolution offer
ed by MIR. Updegraff. He said we liv-
ed at time when there is an eminent
necessity for men who have not only
wisdom, integrity and industry, but in
addition experience, to make them USE
full. We have been living for the past
fifteen years in times when the amount
of money expended has been such, that
extravaganza and hence corruption
prevailed largely in the land. 1t seems
to me at this time, when we are about
to investigate corruption wherever it
may exist, and as our present Repre-
sentative is one OF the men already en-
gagged In that work, and adds expert
ence to his other qualifications for
these duties, 1t is proper that he should
be continued In his Office. The most
things in our Representative
now are brilliant intellect and sterlinp
integrity, and with that untiring, in
dustry, and hence 1 believe the public
interests demand that Mr.. Danford
should be retained.
Mr.. Updegraff said:
This resolution is in exact accordance
not only with my own feelings, but
with what said to Capt. Danford last
fall, and also within the past two
weeks: and as the matter has been re-
peatedly spoken of in the press, as to |
any understanding at the time of his
first or second nomination, desire to
say distinctly and unequivocally that
40 far as l had any, connection with
hat matter, and so far AS | ever had
any knowledge concerning it, he was
without any conditions, 4
pledges or stipulatiOn5 whatever, and
( he will accept nomination / will
upport him with my best efforts, both !,
IN his own merits and for the harmony
nd success of the Republican party. IA
The resolution was then unanimous t
Y adopted. t

Congressman Danford.

Private DalZell writes letter saying
that if Hon. Lorenzo Danford is cam
didate for reelection to Congress in the
Sixteenth District, he is not. This is
manly and sensible. There is an over
abundance of candidates in the Six
teenth District, Of whom Mr.. Dalzell is
one. Mr.. Danford is now in Congress,
and is doing excellent service on the
Investigating Committee on Expendi-
lures in the War Department. We
are in favor, as a rule, of keeping men
in Congress so long as they conduct
themselves worthily and continue to
grow. The weakness of the present
Congress is in the fact that it is filled
up with raw, ignorant men. Two
years in Congress simply prepares a
man to be useful. Mr.. .Danford has
made good record during the three
years that he has spent in Washington,
and his determination to be a candidate
for reelection will undoubtedly unite
the Republicans of his district without
pposition.-Cl Clereldld Leader.

1T is now claimed, most positively,
although he denied it on oath before
Clymer's committee, that Pendleton
did pay thirty thousand dollars of the
Central Kentucky railroad claim to
Mrs. Belknap. According to the testi-
mony of Pendleton himself, he receiv-
ed three warrants, instead of one, in
payment of the claim. One of these
was for thirty thousand dollars, was
endorse by him, and made payable
to the National Park Bank of New.
York. This draft has been tracked
until 1t has been discovered that, after
passing through two or three hands,
the money drawn upon it was paid to
Mrs. Bower in person, in the city of
New York. If this be true, Pendleton
was guilty of equivocation. He swore
he did not pay any money to Mrs. Bel
knap, but the thirty thousand dollars
were paid to Mrs. Bower who af-
forwards Mrs. Belknap. He did moi
pay any money to either Mrs. Bower
or Mrs. Belknap directly, but he did
pay the sum mentioned through d
third party.
Moreover, "a prominent Republican
lawyer" is represented to have said
tnat he knows the names of the persons
through whose hands this money pass
e 1, and the time and place where the
money was paid over to Mrs. Bower,
who took it and placed it in the hands
of Caleb Marsh for safe keeping and in
vestment. These facts may account
iOr the speedy departure of Caleb p.
Marsh for Montreal, and the anxiety
manifested by Mr.. Clymer to get rid OF
him as quickly as possible. Every turn
the matter takes, the worse does it APP
pear for Mr.. Pendleton.

SECRETARY BRIsTow appeared be-
fore the Committee on Expenditures
in the War Department, on Monday,
in the matter of a rascally letter in the
New York Herald about a case in
which, when he was a private citizen
and professional lawyer, he acted as
attorney before the Court of Claims,
which gave judgment for the claim,
and in which he received for his SER
vices fee of 10 per cent, the COM
plainant having been so impoverished
by the injustice of the government that
he could not promise him anything
with certainty unless he gained the
case. Perhaps Democrats will set up

advocate.
