THAT JEwEL.-W We notice that that
bigh-toned "moral idea" organ, the
West Chester Record, still defends
those members of the Legislature who
voted to retain Petroff, and his band oi
bribe. takers in their seats. And from
the zeal the editor manifests, il is evi.
dent that he wants to be consistent,
because, while he advocates the elec-
tion of Butler, Tor State Treasurer, he
in effect defends the crimes of the
bribe.takers. Hence, the jewel Of
consistency must be awarded him.
Petroff and Butler cannot be separated
in this campaign.

Democrats of Cloarfeld county it is
as much the duty of every honest Dem.
ocrat to support his party nominees,

parents to maintain and support their
baby offspring, especially when our
nominees are as competent and worthy
to discharge the public duties about to
be conferred upon them, as the nomi.
nees Of the opposition. We are per.
sonally acquainted with all the nomi.
noes for Sheriff, District Attorney and
Jury Commissioner, and we make the
broad assertion, and defy successful
contradiction, that the Democratic
nominees outweigh their rivals in all
the necessary attributes, under the JEFF
fersonian test, to successfully discharge
the duties of the offices they are seek
ing.
JAMES MAuAFFEY, our nominee for
Sheriff, was born in this county, and
belongs to one Of the largest and most
respectable families in the region.
Father, uncles and brothers are all
upright, industrious citizens, and have
a claim (f there is such a thing) upon
the Democratic party Of Clearfeld
county at this timo- OF course, "Jim,"
as he is familarly called at home, and
along the river during the rafting seas
on, will be elected Sheriff on the 4th
of November next, 1t would be a
mighty queer Democrat who would
vote for bis rivals
j. +. McKENRcK, our nominee for
District Attorney, was born in Adams
county, in this State, and came to
Clearfeld about 16 years ago, and, by
frugal habits and industry, has come
up from the plow.boy, carpenter, school
teacher to lawyer, and the popular ex-
preston manifested on Primary cleo
ton day shows conclusively that the
Democrats Of this county want him Ia
serve as District Attorney for the next
three years and if "Frank" don't do
the fair thing, and should he neglect
his public duties, we will be one of the
first to help kick him overheard. 1t
would be one of the most awkward kind
of Democrats that would vote for hi:
Radical competitor. Nothing but pure
spite will make man antagonize him
self in this manner There is no doubt
OF his election.
For Jury Commissioner, we have
ANDREW ]. JACKSON. He was born in
the city OF Pittsburgh, and came tC
this county about l6 years ago. He
is an excellent mechanic and q live
Democrat. He served as a soldier
during the war, and bears a number O.
scars on his person to testify to hi'
valor. He earned his reputation as Q
soldier outside Of the hospital and the
Suffers camp. His qualifications fol
the office he is named are good, be
cause of his residence in this place, ant
for a number of years he lived in The
Southern section of the county, and
therefore, he is generally acquainted
with over half of the people in thu
county. His election is foregont
conclusion.
Now. Democrats. we have thu
briefly sketched over the qualification
of our local nominees, and we candidly
believe that you owe it to yourselves
and your country, that you go to thu
polls and deposit your ballots for Barr
Mahaffey, McKenrick and jackson
They are all worthy men in the mid
die of life and Democrats without guile
and are entitled to your suffrage.
