The Comfy Convention.

The general expression so far as we hear it
is that the County Convention succeeded
yesterday IN presenting to the Republicans of
this county most acceptable ticket. Man
excellent men were supported in the Con-
vention who were not nominated; and it is
probably true that no delegate secured his
favorite in every instance, yet the general re-
suit is an evidence of the wisdom of the Con-
yention.
The Senatorial ticket is an exceptionally
strong one. Three of the nominees, Messrs.
Bailey, Nutter and Tolman are successful
besiness men, and are esteemed as reliable,
intelligent and strong men. Mr.. Vinton has
had as much legislative experience as any
man in Cumberland county. Twenty years
ago or more he was prominent member of
an able Senate, and from time to time since
that date he has been member of the House,
where he has occupied a conspicuous and in
fuential position.
The spirited canvass for the nomination of
Sheriff resulted in the success of Mr.. Dresser,
who is man of unexceptional character and
has proved an efficient officer. The same can
be said of Capt. Adams, who proved his fidel-
ity to party by having the nomination of Mr..
Dresser made unanimous. Such an act will
not be forgotten by the Republicans of Cum
berland county.
The denomination of Mr.. Libby for Coun-
ty Attorney, and the nominations of Mr.. Nc
Lellan for County Treasurer, and Mr.. Swift
for Commissioner, are such as will commend
themselves TO the party and secure full and
cordial support.

FOR GOVERNOR,

For Presidential Electors,
At Large-WILLIAM w. THOMAS.
NATHAN A. FARWELL.
For Representative to G,
What IT Means.
Journal.

1t is singular fact in this political CAM
paign that one of the two great parties to the
contest is as much as possible keeping itself
out of notice as an organization and basing
its claims to popular support, not upon what
it has done for the good of the country, not
upon its capacity for good administration in
the future, but solely upon the services of its
candidate for the Presidency. The Demo-
cratic party is persistentIy endeavoring to
conceal itself behind Gov. Tilden, and to in
duce people to forget that the election of Mr..
Tilden is a.Democratic success. The New
York Governor is not man above reproach,
his reform record has many blemishes, but he
is so much better than his party that he
grows respectable by contrast to the men
with whom he is associated. In tha land of
the blind, says the proverb, the one.eyed is
king, and in the Democratic party because of
the sole possession of some virtues Tiden is
easily first.
But the people are not minded to forget
that the election of Mr.. Tilden is the triumph
of the Democracy, and that it means Dem
ocratic administration,s asDemocratic Con-
gress, and a Democratic control of the Treas
ury. the Army, the Navy, and all other
branches of the Government. Gov. Tiden
even were his intentions the best, would no
have the power to carry them into effect.
His cabinet would of necessity be made up f
those Democratic leaders whom the people
have persistently rejected and still profoundly
mistrust. The Congress would be patterned
after the present Confederate House, curse
for the removal of which the country is ar
dently praying. A Democratic success means
the turning over the Government TO the con-
troll of its enemies who were engaged twelve
years ago in desperate attempt to ''reform"
it out of existence.

MORTIMER COLLINS, poet and novelist,

MORTIMER COLLINS, poet and novelist,
died in London, July 25, at the age of forty.
nine. He was born at Plymouth, England.
in 1927, receiving his education at private
school. Devoting himself to journalism and
other branches of literature at an early age,
he became successfully connected with vari-
Gus London newspapers, most prominently
with the London Globe. He was we'll known
as writer of society verses, and attained
quite cosmopolitan reputation in his favor
ite pursuit, that of a novelist. Mr.. Collins
separate publications in verse are as follows:
Summer Songs" "Idyls and Rhymes
'Inn of Strange Meetingsand. Other POEMS"
He is also the author of the following novels {;
''Who is the Heir?' "Sweet Anne Page"
"The Ivory Gate," "The Vivian Romance"
'Marquis and Merchant" "Two Plunges for
PEARL" ''Prncess Clarice," "Mirandi,"
esquire Silchester's Whim" "Mr. Caring
ton," "Transmigration" and "Frances," the
latter being probably his best novel. OF these
"The Vivian Romance" and "Two Plunges
for a Pearl" appear to have been the most
popular.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE GREAT REPUTATION
Which VEGETINE has attained in all parts of the
country as
Great and Good Medicine,

and the large number of testimonials which are con-
stantly being received from persons who have been
cured by its use, conclusive proof of its great
value. 1t is recommended by physicians and apoth-
ecaries. As Blood Purifier and Health Restorer
it has no equal.
VEGETINE is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors. which debilltates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the differ
ent complaints satisfactory to any reasonable persons
suffering from disease that they be cured? Read
the different testimonials given, and no one can
doubt In many of these cases the persons say that
their pain and suffering not be expressed in
cases OF Scrofua, where. apparently the whole body
was one mass of corruption. If VEGETNE will re-
lieve PAM cleanse, purify and such diseases,
storing the patient to perfect health after trying diff
ferent physicians, many remedies suffering for years,
is it not conclusive proof, if you sufferer, you
can be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works in the blood, in the cir
c1latng fluid. It can be truly called the Great
Blood Purifier The great source of disease origin
ates in the blood and medicine that does not act
directly upon it, to purify and renovate has any just
claim upon public attention. When the blood be-
comes Gfeless and stagnant, either from change of
weather or climate want of exercise, irregular diet,
or from any other cause, the VEGETINE will renew
the blood, carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the
stomach, regulate the bowels and impart tone of
vigOr to the whole body. The conviction is, in the
public mind as well in the medical profession that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are
more safe more successful, in the cure of disease
than mineral medicines. VEGETINE Is composed Of
roots, barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant to take and
is perfectly safe give infant. Do you need it?
Do not hesitate to try it. You will never regret it.

NEW YORK: Aug. 2, 1876.
My DEAR Mr.. EDITOR:
hope no reader of the Press will hold me
accountable for the heading "Defense of the
President" prefxed to my letter in your paper
of Aug. 1st. l should as soon think of ode

Square from the buzzing of the insects that
light upon its imperishable bronze. I spend
great deal of my time almost within hearing Of
an Internal chorus of howlings against Grant
in every key from the snivelling treble of hy-
pocrisy to the horrible bass OF ferocity, and the
experience has taught me what an impotent
weapon mere rawlings are to damage character.

Where Some of the Peoples Money is.

Where Some Of the Peoples Money is.
The counties and towns of Illinois owe be
tween $12,OO0,0 900 and $15, 1000, 900 on account
of railroad subscriptions that were swallowed
by Tilden's patent process. Large amounts
of money were taken from the people o.
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa.
Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and
other States of the West, Northwest, and
Southwest, in the same manner. OF all this.
Mr. Tilden has received his full share. He
was the lawyer who devised the means where
by these frauds were worked out; he coun-
seled the active manipulators at every stage
of the operation he acted as the agent for
winding up and recognizing the companies,
and he pocketed large part of the plumber.
There is scarcely a railroad this side of the
Allegheny Mountains in which there was not
at least one, and many in which there are
several Credit Mobilier schemes manipulated
by Sam Tlden for the profit of himself aud
those associated with him. This is how he
made his millions, and the people of the
West who contributed the money are partic-
ularly interested in understanding and re-
membering it.-Chicdgo Tribune.

ZEB VANCE is the leader of Tilden reform
in North Carolina, as he is running for gov

hopes TO secure by the election Of Tilden
what was lost by the failure OF the rebellion.

JUDGE BLACKS euphemism ior bribery is
''an outburst of gratitude" Iu one Of these
outbursts, he says, Marsh gave Belknap $4,000
and in another Belknap gave Marsh an ap-
pointment. 1t will be observed that two
''outbursts" are required to make one case OF
bribery. The use of the new phrase in this
connection is, therefore, Objectionable as a
pleonasm. Still, we agree with Judge Black
that gratitude is noble impulse"
