SO far as the Democratic party and It's iutufe
fate is concerned. That the people of the
country are determined upon a change IN
the administration Of the general govern
ment is no longer doubted, or even the sub
ject of controversy. The question now is
why should there not be change OF ad-
ministration, and why should not Tilden
and Hendricks be elected? The answer to
this question is plain and simple, and it is
therefore scarcely necessary for us to urge
upon the people the good policy and great
necessity of voting for both of our national
standard bearers, the honest and faithful
representatives in q special manner of re-
trenchment aud reform. The people Of the
entire country understand their duty in this
emergency and we doubt not they will per-
form it fully and to the best interests of
themselves and their fellow citizens in all
parts of this glorious but terribly misgov-
erned land. We need not say more, but
deem it entirely safe to predict that in our
next issue we will be able to announce the
triumphant election of Tilden and Hen
bricks and the dawn of new and better
era upon our unhappy country.
And now what about Hon. John Reilly,
our present member and worthy candidate
for re election to Congress-a gentleman
who has done his full and entire duty to the
people of this district and of the State and
nation at large? That he is honest and
capable no man does or can for a moment
dispute, and that he ought to be re- elected
for the sake of the country and its suffering
interests is equally susceptible of proof.
Let him, then, be reelected and the op-
portunity afforded him to aid in the good
work so auspiciously begun by himself and
his Democratic colleagues in the present
Congress. Let the people of this district
say to him by their votes that he has been
found worthy of the confidence that has
been reposed in hi m and that they are I'M
willing to dispense with the services of one
who has proved himself BILE and willing to
put his shoulder to the wheel and help
along the greatly needed and earnestly de-
manded cause of reform ard economy in
the administration of the affairs of the na-
tion, which has Sc long and SO severely
suffered from the corruption and extrava-

We referred last week at some length to
w. Fisk Conrad, of Tyrone, the Democratic
candidate i'm this district for State Senator.
Since his nomination Mr.. Conrad has pretty
thoroughly canvassed Cambria county and
has everywhere made most favorable i'm
preston upon the people of the different
localities which he visited. If every DEM
ocrat in this county does bis duty by voting
for him his election is a foregone conclusion.
John Ryan, the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff, has been and still is the especial
object of iadical venom and oalumny. But
he will nevertheless be sustained by the
true and honest Democracy of the county,
and that support he cannot fail TO having
be triumphantly elected. He is an honest
man and fully competent for faithful dis
charge Of the responsible duties of the office
of Sheriff. He never plundered the people
of Cambria county nor did he ever aid and
abet others in doing So and no consistent
Democrat or honest man Of any party from
White township to Yoder ought to vote
against him. Let his slanderers and libel
lers be politically gibetted by the public
opinion Of the county, and let an honest,
upright man like John Ryan be emphati-
cally sustained by the invincible Democra-
cy of glorious little Cambria. Such has
been her past political record, with scarcely
an exception and let every Democrat see
th at she shall continue to occupy that posi-
tioh in the future.
OF the rest of the county ticket, and Of
the honesty and capacity Of each and every
candidate thereon, we have frequently
spoken. We cannot in any language we
could use more earnestly urge than we have
already done upon the Democracy of the
county the necessity of extending to the
entire ticket cordial and enthusiastic snp
port.
And now, Democrats of Cambria, what
will be the extent of your verdict on next
Tuesday in favor of Tilden Hendricks and
reform? in favor of John Reilly for Con-
gress, w. Fiske Conrad for State Senate,
John Ryan for Sheriff, and the whole
county ticket? That is the all important
question and you must answer it at the
ballot box. That you will do your entire
duty we do not for moment doubt, feeling
entirely confident as we do that Cambria
county, small as she is, but intelligent and
patriotic as her people are, will send from
the summit of her own Alleghanies down
into the valleys below such a Democratic
yell of victory as the FROSTY Sons of
Thunder have never uttered before. On,
then, Democrats, to the polls, and let your
battle cry be Tilden, Hendricks, and the
whole district and county ticket!
