WITH the glad tidings Of Tilden's
election and the glorious triumph of
the Democracy Of Cambria over the
despicable radical ring in this county,
comes the sad thought that good and
true man has been stricken down in
the person Of our noble and faithful
young Cor gresham, Hon. J Ohm Reilly,
against whom not word of tlispar
agement could be uttered and to whom
the people of this district owed n debt
of gratitude which they should have
been proud and anxious to repay by re-
electing him to Congress Why this
has not been done it is useless now to
inquire, but certain it is that no act of
Mr. Reilly has alienated from him the
confidence and trust of his fellow citi-
zens Of all parties, and his defeat there
fore cannot be accepted as any reflec-
ton upon his honor and integrity

and if his own county had come up to
the work with anything like that
nnanimlty which she owed to herself
and her honored citizen. there would
be quite n different and much more
credtable story to tell at this particu-
lar juncture.

TILDEN's HUMANITY.-A little incident
which illustrates the innate humanity of
Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden. is thus related by
one OF our most prominent physicians !:
Not long since poor woman who earned
q precarious living by sewing died of cancer.
During her life, among the families who
employed her was that of Mr.. Tilden.-
When L was first called to see her I found
her III little room III tenement bouse
suffering from painful career. Soon il
became difficult for her to work. vet she
was still employed at this gentiemap's
house, being permitted TO do only what
little she could without harm to herself. she
being too proud to accept direct charity.
Her good employer was elected Governor of
the State. AT this time the poor woman s
disease had so rapidly increased that work
was impossible. Many would now have
advised and urged herto go with her loath
some cancer To the hospital Not SO with
Alr. lilden. She was taken from the ten
ement house TO enjoy the comforts of that
luxurious home in Twentieth street as long
as she was willing to stay. There I at
tended her, and from that .ime, although
never having had the privilege of seeing
him. yet knowing little of his heart
through this one loop>lole. have ever since
admired Samuel J. Tilden"
IL man is true to his fellow-men in the
dangerous hour Of pride of elevation To 4
great dignity, and amid fierce struggle
with city and State corruption, can he no..
he trusted with the care OF a SUFFERING ma

Tho Midway (Ky.) Sun says: We
learn that several negroes started ont to
hunt coons near Harrodsburg, in Mercer
county, one night last week. A quarrel
arose between two Of the negroes in the
woods, when one was shot dead. His
friends remained and took charge Of the
body, while the rest Of the crowd proceeded
with the hunt. A little later one of the
negroes climbed a tree to shake down a
coon, fell and was instantly killed. The
coon fell among the dogs and terrible
fiehs ensured. In attempting to separate
the coon and dogs another negro had Ills leg
literally torn to pieces by a dog. He then
killed the dog. The coon next succumbed
to fate, and his death ends the list Of cssu-
alties during that coon hunt.

THE true and faithful among the
Democracy Of Cambria county, and
their name is legion, deserve to be con-
graduated in an especial manner upon
the SUCCESS Of our whole county ticket
and particularly upon the elcctionof our
candidate for Sheriff, against whom
the most infamous and relentless war
was waged and the basest means used
to accomplish his overthrow. Never
in the history of our county has such
revolving picture been presented as
the one held up to public gaze by the
desperate radical ring which fought for
ascendancy and endeavored by ways
that were dark and tricks that were
vain to capture one Of the best offices
within the gift of the people of little
Cambria. And that they did not sue
ceed is owing entirely to the unremi:-
ting efforts Of the faithful sentinels
upon the watch-tower of Democracy,
to the largely increased vote of the
county, and 20 the fact that nothing
was left undone to secure full poll
and an honest expression of public
opinion. Were it not for all these re-
suits combined we might to-day be
called upon to deplore radical vic
tory won by one Of the worst elements
that has ever entered the political arena
in Cambria county. Thank God,
however, that their lavish expenditure
oflarge sums of money to corruptDem-
ooratic voters, their oft repeated at
tempts to secure their cherished object
by parading affidavits Which were
either false in themselves or without
application TO the matter at issue, and
their thousand and one other plots and
counterplots to defeat Mr.. Ryan have
all fa led to bear the much wished for
fruit OF Mr.. Davis himself, now that
he has by the will of the people been
forced to retire once more TO the shades
OF private life, we have no wish to say
disparaging word, knowing full well
that .he defeat he richly merited, if not
for his own sake at least for the sake
of the desperate ring that surrounded
and goaded him on to his own political
ruin, is load sufficiently heavy for
even his broad shoulders TO bear. We
cannot but express the hope, however,
that lie has learned lesson that will
either keep him out Of politics for all
time to come or else induce him and
his friends TO conduct future campaigns
on a much higher plane OF political
principle and moral rectitude than has
marked the one that has just closed
with so much disaster To the desperate
men Of the radical faith who took mi
active part in it.

BIYONET RULE 1T An End.
PEACE And GOOD WILL PROCLAIMED.

On the morning after the election
the Republican press and people very
generally conceded th. victt r. to Til
den and Hendricks. but on Thursday
morning the political atmosphere grew
more 1laycs-y, and up to nearly noon
on Friday the news was Of such char
acter as to leave the matter in doubt
though the probabilities of Demo
cratic triumph were 10y all odds the
best. At the time mentioned, however,
the matter was set at rest by the receipt
of a dispatch from Lake City, Florida
announcing that the Democrats had
carried the State by about ZOO, thus
securing tor Tilden and Hendricks four
more electoral votes, which, added to
the 184 already conceded to be certain,
gives the Democratic candidates lS8
votes, or three mole than is really nee.
essary to elect In addition to all this
there is every reason to believe that
Louisiana and Sorth Carolina are all
right for the good cause, and that their
electoral votes, 8 in all, will be added
to the Democratic column. With this
gratifying intelligence we put our pa
per to press, confident as we are that
no turn of events can possibly change
the present aspect Of affairs.

After the question had been discussed quite

JAMES Il. BLAINE.
Short Speech by the Gentleman From
Maine.

Mr. Blaine was warmly received and
spoke in substance as follows:
Gentlemen Ofthe C0nUention-I came
here to-day rather for the purpose of
shaking hands with old friends, and re-
turning thanks for past kindnesses than
with any intention of speech making.
Since the second election of Mr.. Lincoln,
10 national contest has been more far
reaching in its consequences than that
now pending. The Democratic party now
represents and embodies all that there is
in this country of disloyalty and repudia-
ton don't say that every Democrat is
disloyaGst or repudiator, but it is patent
to the most careless observer that the con-
verse of the proposition is true. Mr..
Tilden has the reputation among his
political friends in New York Of be-
ing a wary, not to say wiry, political
manager. He has also the reputa-
ton of possessing large wealth, of be-
ing ready to use it to promote his po-
litical ends. 1t is said that he has
marked the State of Maine as Il good
field for the investment of his politi-
cal funds, with the hope of reducing
our majority in September. Certain
well known Democrats who are now
on the itinerant list in this State are
said to be part of the modified army
of Tilden. Watch them and follow
them, and cOuntcract them, and let
them know that the Republicans of
Maine arc not to be bought, but that
it will require all of Mr.. Tilden's
spare cash to keep his own troops in
line. and to prevent many of them
from passing over to the ranks Of Re
publican loyalty and national good
faith. Let me conclude by thanking
you most heartily for the overw helm
ing and almost embarrassing cordial
ty ofyour reception, and by express
ing the hope that as my health grows
firmor | shall meet you again during
this most important campaign, and
meet you always with words of
cheer and assurance of victory. Mr..
Blaine was frequently interrupted by
storms of applause.
