OUR CANDIDATES.

AT the head OF our columns VIII be
found our County Ticket. 1t is tick
ct which commends itself to every Re-
publican in the county, as worthy Of
hearty and united support.
WILLIAM G. KINNEY, the candidate
for Sheriff, is about 80 years Of age, is a
resident of Goshen township. He was
born in Belmont county, and has al
ways resided in either Richland Smith
or Goshen townships. During the most
of his life he has been engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits, and dealing extern
sively in stock. By honest dealing,
good management and the exercise of
good business qualifications, he gained
considerable of a competency, but af
terwards be lost heavily, by becoming
surety. He is known among men
with whom he deals as man of scru-
pulous honesty and integrity; a man of
industry, and of pure lAe and uncor-
rupted morals. With business capa-
city by which he accumulated means
for himself, an uprightness recognized
by all who know him; with character
unassailed and unasSailabie, and with
a knowledge of the economical man
agement of business affairs, he will
carry with him TO the Sheriff s Office,
should he be elected, all the requisites
for capable, economical and faithful
officer.
Our candidate for Commissioner,
WILLIAM ALEXANDER, of Bridgeport,
is so well known TO the people of the
comfy, as never having superior and
we may say without injustice to any
one, an equal in the Office of Commits
sioner, that it is almost unnecessary to
recall his services for three yesrs in
that position. During his incumbency
of that Office, he was vigilant and
economical public servant, who watch
ed with intelligent eye the interests of
the county and all the people. The
spontaneous feeling which developed
itself among the delegates to the Con-
vention, in favor of Mr.. Alexander,
notwithstanding the fact that it was
known that he could not accept the
Office without great personal sacrifices,
is a sufficient evidence of the estima
tien in which he is held by the public.
The popular verdict, the right man in
the right place.
THOMAS LODGE, who was renomi-
mated by acclamation for Infiruary Di-
rector, has made, during his incum-
o bency of that Office, an excellent record
for iaithfulness to duty, and careful
scrutiny into the affairs of The Institu--
tion over which he assists in presiding.
His denomination was a just acknowl-
edgement of his services, and we feel
assured that the people will second it
by triumphant election.
p Our ticket as whole, is a splendid
one, and the people of the county will
do well to say 50 by their votes in Oc-
tober.

CENTENNIAL RAMBLENGS.

PHILADELPHIA, July 3, 1876.
DEAR CHRoNICLE-Since | finished
a letter to the Gazette, made up oi
notes of travel, l have visited the old
Chri5ts Church, situated away down
on Second street, near the Delaware
River. Started from here on the street
cars at about I04 o'clock, not having
selected any particular church, but
thought OF the one l did attend, on the
way. Reached the house when the
sermon was nearly over. 1t proved to
be historical discourse, giving an ac-
count of the parish or church since its
inception. In referring to Washing
ton and Franklin, the minister point
ed out the place where each of these
distinguished men sat. The church
was draped with red, white and blue
dry goods of some kind; a large flag
with Pennsylvania s coat of arms, hung
over the rector's stand, or pu pit, or
whatever our Episcopalian brethren
call it, and U. S. flags hung at other
prominent points. Washington's pew
was presented in 1886, to Independence
Hall, and upon it we gave fresh
spirit to our sluggish patriotism, and
got ready to vote for Tilden and Hen
bricks, by sitting down. Independence
Hall is worth visit. Itself, the place
where the Republic was born, it,
aboundS il minor relics of those event
full times. To me, the room where the
Continental Congress held those ses-
sions, big with the fate of nations, was
the most impressive. The grounds
back ofthe Hall, are now being prepa-
red for the exercises tonight. These
promise to be one of the grandest pa
geantS Of modern times. How to see
it though, is the question, without be-
ing squeezed flatter than Il centennial

The Montana Slaughter.

1t is slaughter, not war. After a hun
dred and twenty years, the tragedy of
Braddock's Defeat is repeated on new
stage, and under conditions which in
crease its horror ard shame. A Gen
eral, skilled in Indian warfare and pro-
fessedly familiar with every form of
savage stratagem, has preciptated him.
self and his troops into a destruction
so unparalleled as to be scarcely credi-
BILE. The brief, CHASTITY story, as we re-
ceive it, offers nothing to relieve or
mitigate the character of the de feat.
Even in the bloody blundtr of Bala-
kiava, a portion of the six hundred
rode back to tell the story of the charge;
but here each officer and every man OF
five companies dashed into the jaws of
death and returned no more. The fa-
tai mistake and its resulting horrors of
slaughter can therefore never be fully
explained.
The region selected by the Indians is
admirably adapted for defense, and its
rough, broken, partially UNEMPLOYED
character should have suggested the
greatest caution to the invading COM
manders. 1t lies between the Big
spur of the, Rocky Mountains and the
Yellowstone, threaded by the south
ern tributaries of the latter, the Big
and Little Horn and Rosebud Rivers.
A district ab lut hundred miles in di-

Gen. Crooks command, approaching
from the south, and Gen. Terry's, which
included the detachmentS of Custer,

east both by way of the plains and the
Yellowstone, might, by proper combi-
nation OF plans, have possessed them
selves of the outlets of the re giOn andl
have ascertained the position or move
ments of the enemy before attack. But
the particulars which have reached us
indicate great impatience or rasnneSs.
Gen. Crook, leaving his camp on Goose
Creek, marched with l 300 men against
the Sioux, whom he found on Rosebud
River, and on the 18th June was led
by his Crow allies into battle out OF
which he was fortunate in being able
to retreat without greater loss. y week
afterward Custer and Reno reached the
Little Horn, while Gibbon, advancing
up the northern bank of the Yellow
stone, had crossed at the mouth of the
Big Horn, on his way to join them.
The main Indian encampment, stretch
ing for four miles along the valley of
Little Horn, was discovered. We may
be sure that it possessed every possible
advantage of defense; the number OF
fighting men is estimated at from 2, ,500l
to 1000. By thiStime Gen. Custer had
undoubtedly leaned of Crooks re-
pulse, and he was also aware of Glib
bon's approach. Yet, without waiting
for the latter's arrival apparently !

of the ground, eager to retrieve the
reputation of our troops, and reckless

LORD is the only canal robber of New
York that has been convicted. He was
personal enemy of Tilden, and,
though a Democrat, did all he could
against Tilden in 1874. He has moved
for new trial. Meantime his attor-
ney goes to st. Louis to work for Til
den. And Lord is still out on bail.

REPORTS continue to come in of the
various diversion by which the peo-
pie of Southern towns celebrated the
Centennial Fourth. In Carlisle, Ken
lucky, an old war flag, which was put
out by widow of a Union officer, was
too great . strain upon the sympathiz-
ers of the l. )st Cause, and it was hauled
down in disgrace. The day was furth-
er celebrated in the same town by the
unprovoked slaughter of man of pro-
nounced Union tendencies. Elsewhere
in the South, the exhibitions of patriot
ism were confined mainly to the ne
groes. In Atlanta white man re-
marked, in explanation of the prevail
ing apathy, that they "had no use for a
Fourth of July until they had elected a
Democratic President" With Tilden
in the White House, they could cele-
brate with unction.-C Cincinnati Gazette.
