CURTIN FOR CONGRESS-.


II will doubtless surprise many Dem
ocrats all over the country, to learn
that Andrew G, Curtin has been nom
mated tor Congress by that party In
Centre county. Mr.Curtin is best known
as Pennsylvanias War Governor
When the integrity of the country was
threatened, aud war was the only
means of safety, Gov. Curtin was one
OF the most determinedly aggressive
and patriotic of all the Chief Magis-
trates OF the States adhenng to tho
Old Union. When the war ended, ii
found Curtin one Of tho staunchest
friends OF a regeneration Of the dis
affected States--an advocate Of
restoration to citizenship and social and
political fraternity. Andrew G. Curtin
was an exemplification OF the more hon.
orable intentions of the honest wing Of
the Republican party in the days Of
serious tria! during the war, and his
principles OF republican liberty changed
not whit when the Fifteenth Amend
ment threw nearly million of votes
into the party ranks; and, by the ex-
cess thus achieved, led its leaders into
vicious ways and corrupt practices.
Governor Curtin retired to private
life; and the breach that separated him
from his old party affiliations, grew
wider and wider. He refused to yield
his principles that he might share in
the aggrandizements of party power !;
and, rather than sink his honor be-
meath personal respect, withstood the
tempting allurements Of ambitions
fondest hopes with as much earnest
ness as he had defended his country's
honor in the darkest hours OF its trib.
ulations.
Honesty and uprghtness of cbarac-
ter bring their own reward. To day,
Andrew G. Curtin, instead of sharing
the opprobrium heaped upon Blaine,
Hale and other leaders Of the Republi.
can party, finds himself at the head Of
the ticket in his native county with
every prospect Of retaining the respect
Of the people Of Pennsylvania, as, also,
IN almost certainty OF being returned
to Congress by the Democrats OF Cen
tire county. In conjunction with the
Democrats, it is not unlikely that the
Nationals will give him their support,
thus polling what may prove the
heaviest majority for any candidate in
Pennsylvania.-NOTistoIe Defender

the candidacy of Hon. Andrew II. Dill.
A sincere regard for that army OF
Christian men who bear that name in.
clines me TO believe that the name was
there assumed by one wholly unworthy
Of it. Think of one whose calling is to
proclaim the blessed gospel of "Peace

signature of A Methodist Preacher !"
"And ii is said that number of

Democratic candidate for Governor did
act with party who sympathized
with the South, opposed the war, and
denied that the soldiers had the right
to vote. How can any Methodist

he has profound respect and kindliest
feeling for his honored father, vote
Tor his Democratic son ?"

impression upon my mind which the

CURTIN AS A CANDIDATE.-We can.
not for the life us imagine how any
Democrat can hesitate about support
ing Ex-Governor Curtin for Congress
in this contest. Governor Curtin nc.
knowledgedly is one Of the most brill.
liant men in America, intellectually,
and bis fitness for seat in Congress
is therefore indisputable. His expert.
encc in public life, as well as his ability,
pre-eminently qualify him for ths posi-
ton. That he fairly and honorably
secured the nomination of the Demo.
cratic party, by and through its regu.
lar usagcs, is fact patent to every.
body. No one dares dispute it, What
objection, then, can any iair.mindcd
Democrat make to supporting him
All" says one, "Curtin was Repub-
lican." Yes, but his competitor in the
race, Mr.. Seth II. Yocum, is q Repub-
lican. Governor Curtin as long as tour
years ago repudiated the Republican
Administration as corrupt and untrust-
worthy, and then, as well as in the cam.
paign since, supported the Democratic
candidates, both upon the stump and
by his votes, and to-day unequivocally
endorses every word in the platform
upon which Senator Dill was nominated
for Governor. onthe contrary, Govern
or Curtin's competitor, Mr.. Yocum, al
though, like Curtin, Greenbackcr, y
still maintains his former views as q
Republican. and is even now seeking
TO become the candidate of that party
Surely, between these two, no Demo
crat needs time TO mako O choice.
