WM. A. WHEELER appeared in the
New York Republican State Conven-
ton and made violent and very dis
creditable partisan speech. This we
believe is the first time that a man
representing the second Office of the
Government ever thus appeared. He,
however, may be excused. A man
who is a notorious fraud, and holds a
position by fraud, could not be ex-
pected to be restrained by any official
dignity that is supposed to attach to
the office he represents.

The County Convention.

In reviewing the work of the Dem.
ocratic County Convention, of last
Tuesday, the proceedings of which
will be found in detail in another
column, it is gratifying to note the
good feeling and unanimity Of scnti-
ment that prevailed throughout its
deliberations. The convention was
composed Of the very best material
representative Democrats from every
section Of the county being in attend
ance as delegates. There were no
nominations Of Importance, so far as
the emouments of office make them
important, to be made, and nothing of
special interest TO engage attention,
and for these reasons it is surprising
that the attendance should have been
50 full, every district in the county
being represented
lhe work with which the delegates
were entrusted was done well and
faithfully. The nomination of John
Shannon, Esq, for Jury Commission
er, Is one that will give universal sat.
isiaction. Mr. Shannon is 70 well and
iayorably known that it il needless to
make extended mention of his fitness
for the position. He has in the past
been entrusted by his fcllow-citizens
with positions Of responsibility and
trust, and the manner in which he
discharged important dutie. heretofore
is an earnest that he will carefully
scrutini1e the name that 90 into the
jury wheel, and prove n faithful and
efficient officer.
The nomination of DIR. joseph
Adams, Of Milesburg, for the Office of
Coroner, was one emincntly fit to be
made. He has occupied the position
before, and is thoroughly conversant
with the duties of the Office.
The convention was also fortunate
in the selection Of J. l.. Spangler.
Esq, for the important position of
Chairman Of the County Committee
for the year that will begin in January
next, Mr.. Spanglcr is young, active
aud able and will undoubtedly prove
a most thorough and efficient leader
for the party in the great campaign
of 1880.
The good work of the convention
was fifty rounded off by the election
of J. \. Cassanov' Esq, and Hon.
Fred kurtz, As representative dele
gates to the next State convention.
The resolutions have the right ring
and correctly express the sentiments
Of the people of the county.

THE United States Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows met at Baltimore on
Monday last, John G.. Harman, grand
sire, in the chair. Delegates from the
various States and Territories and
provincial Jurisdictions were present.
The annual report of the grand sire
was made and referred TO the usual
special committee for distribution. 1t
contains full statement of the num-
Der and financial condition of the Or
der at the present time, a. follows !:
Number OF grand lodges, 80; in
crease, 2; subordinate lodges, 6,975 /;
increase, 81 grand encampments, 80,

campments, 1868 increase, 2s lodge

crease, $50, 1887; total relief, s4,-
6,9s6.52; decrease, s156,965.33.
1t also contains a vigorous protest
against adopting a system of life insu-
rance or endowment, as it is termed,
and says This body must determine
whether il shall become principle
of the order. The endowment plan
now before this lodge involves a vast
financial scheme embracing the entire
jurisdiction of odd fellowship in Amer
len, and imposes upon the grand sire,
the grand secretary and the grand
treasurer, most onorous duties, and
exposes the order to tho dangers and
disgrace of insolvency aud crime. 1t
creates within itself = power greater
than itself. In short It creates odd
fellowship into a colossal insurance
company, and that would be death to
the institution"

a Bold burglary.

On last Sunday night burglars entered the
grocery of Mr.. NJ. D. Kennedy, on Depot
street, and took seventy eight dollars, nine
pistols, two or three boxes of cigars and one
decanter Of fine brandy. They effected an
entrance by boring through the shutter of
one Off the windows in the back part Of the
building, ard lifting out the pin which.fas-
tened the shutter. Several parties have
beer arrested on strongly suspicious cir
scu1nstances, and the uttermost effort will
be made to secure the detection and punish
sment of the rogues who perpetrated the
crime. The parties eHecting the entrance
were evidently wall acquainted with the
arrangement Of the building, and the man
ner Of entrance shows that they are accom-
-plished housed breakers.
