4 PARTISAN DECISION.

The electoral commission has decided that
its consideration of disputed States, except
such as accompanies the certificates as they
come from the hands of the President of the
Senate, and except such as apperiains TO the
eligibility of electors. We scan with uneasi-
ness from every conceivable standpoint this
remarkable decision, hoping to drain some
consolation from its terms; but we can only
see in it Republican victory and Democratic
repulse. We had hoped that the Justices Of
the Supreme Court would occupy a position
beyond the influence Of partisan impulses
and throwing aside bubbles and tochnicalites
decide the question according TO the dictates
of equity. The position taken by the Demo-
cratic objectors was based upon the plain and
palpable fact that the returning board of
Florida had perpeirated gross fraud by fall
styling returns and declaring the Hayes cleo
tors elected. They offered proof to sustain
their objections, and the commission by a
strict party vote ruled such evidence inadmiss-
ible. The Radical Judges who have come
down from the Supreme Bench 10 ratfy this
gigantic fraud may satisfy their conscieuces
with the JUNCTION that they are technically
right, but they will fail TO satisfy the people
OF this country that they have not acted from
a partisan standpoint, and taken their first
step in n precouceried plan 10 force an usurper
upon the nation as its President.

Primary Meetings.

Mr.. Editor; Some time since your paper,
which never forgets anything Of interest 10 the
people of our county, called attention to the
resolution adopted at our last county conven-
ton, requesting the State Central Committee
10 call a convention on the first Monday in
January, 10 take into consideration the plan
for regulating primary meetings reported by
the committee appointed for that purpose
Why the State Central Committee has neglected
TO do so is a matter discussed generally by Dem
ocra,s Of our county, though no satisfactory
conclusion upon the subject can be reached
really think that something should be done
with this matter before the next election. 1t
is always in the selection OF our county ticket
that inharmony and dlsaffection is occasioned,
and IL the present system is continued the same
unfair play, engeuderng the same III feeling
10 the party, will be The consequence. The
Democratic voters Of the county wish the
adoption Of some system which will insure
them The nomination OF the men who are the
choice Of the majority. Let this convention
be called at once, or our next sowing Of dis
cord may result in the reapug Of defeat.
FAIR PLAY.

Singular SOmnolency.

MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF WHILE ASLEEP IN HIS BED
The Lockport PA. journal says Marvin
n. West, about % years OF age, who for
some time past has had charge Of the Amer-
can hotel barns accidentally, and il is feared,
fatally shot himself this morning a. the resi-
dence of Mrs. Luther j. West. Between I
and o'clock Mrs. West was startled at hear
Jog some person grooming ms if in great agony
The sound proceeded from the bedroom oc-
cupied by Mr., West, and accompanied by a
humping on the wall She FASTENED to his
room and there found him in mortal agony,
and pressing his side with both hands. He
said that be had been shot, but be knew not
how. BY his side was Sharpe's four-shooter
revolver, which he was accustomted to place
under his pillow before retiring for the night.
He asked that q physician be Immediately
called. Drs. kitienger and Evans were sum
moned. They made an examination of the
wound, aud found that the ball had entered
his vitals near she pit of his stomach, and in
iiicted a dangerous wound. 1t was evident
from the nature Of the wound that the muzzle
Of the weapon had been placed near to the
body, MS the flesh was scorched and somewhat
mutilated. They ut last accounts had not
succeeded in liuding the ball. Mr.. West is
able to speak, and from his statement it would
seem that no shot himself while dreaming, as
he awoke and found himself in the condition
above described lie retired to bed about II
o'clock last night, and slept we'll lie states
that of late he has several times dreamed that
he WAS warning with burglars, although
he does not remember of having so dreamed
last night. From the fact that no other cause
could consistently be assigned for the com
initial Of the act, the general superstition
among his friends is that he, in sleep, took the
weapon from underneath his pillow, and dur
ing his movements the weapon accidentally
dis. hdfged itself
