THE Easton Free Press thinks that
with everyday the prospects of Blaine
and the Republican party brighten, be-
cause, with Blaine as our standard
bearer, defeat for the party is out OF
the question. His candidacy will, on
the other hand, insure what may be
termed an electrical canvass which will
end in brilliant and decisive victory,
giving the Republicans the next Presi-
dent and majority in the lower House
of the next Congress sure"

Shenango and Allegheny.

A. III. Steele, formerly of this city.
and we'll known here, has been elected
President of the Shenango & Alle-
gheny r. r. and Mercer Mining Il
Manufacturing Co. Mr.. Steele is a
man of experience in railroad matters,
having held several very important
official trusts of like character, in all
of which he proved himself an efficient
officer. He is yet young man, and
with the ability and perseverance
which he possesses he will no doubt
make his mark in the important place
now assigned him by the n. Y. P. Il
O. r. r. Co.
The following hoard of directors
has been chosen r. B. Roosevelt,
Jas. I Blair, F. Fl. Oliphant, A. G..

there is no doubt that J. It. Blair, the
Superintendent for many years, will
be retained His place could not be
easily filled.-Meadville Republican,

CONGRESS, which has been unusu-
ally dull and stupid during the last
three or four months, is beginning to
arouse itself from its lethargy and to
become alive to the obligations it owes
the country. A few days ago one hon.
orable member attempted to fasten the
charge of bribery and corruption upon
an equal honorable and illustrious col
league, and last Wednesday a distin-
guished statesman from the great
Northwest, with the vigor born of the
prairies, repeatedly denounced meek
and modest member from the East as
"liar." Considering that the spring
has just opened and that we have not
had more than mere suggestion OF
warm weather, this is an exceedingly
promising beginning. BY the middle of
June, when the heat of the sun and
the caloric of the political campaign
shall have fairly set in, lively times
may be expected in the House of Rep
resentatives.-EE.

Splendid Crop Prospects.

CINCINNATI, April 5.-Reports from
large number of points in Ohio, In
diana and Kentucky, upon the condi-
ton of the wheat crop and prospects
for fruits, state that from 10 to 20 per
cent. greater acreage of wheat was
sown in 1879 than the previous year,
and that everywhere except some parts
Of Northwestern Ohio and Central and
Northern Indiana the prospects are
good for an unusually fine yield. AS
to fruit the reports are almost uniform
that there will be an advance of all
kinds unless injured hereafter by the
frost.

WASHINGTON, April H. Hon. VIII
liam Heilman, of Indiana, whose name
is prominently mentioned in connec-

for Governor of that State, declares
that the Republicans can carry Indiana
next fall by 10000 majority with any
candidate except Grant. He feels con-
vinced that the Republican Germans OF
Indiana will not support Grant.

Kemble Caught.

VIM. III. KembIe, who plead guilty
some weeks ago at Harrisburg to the
charge of corrupt solicitation of mem
bers of the last Legislature, was ar.
rested in Philadelphia on Monday last
and taken to Harrisburg. 1t is claimed
by his friends, however, that his re.
turn is voluntary. If taken back under
arrest we do not see how Judge Pear
son can admit him to bail, as in tie

We know very well that it is fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to
when it first makes its appearance, or soon
after. there is no trouble in eradicating il
from the system. Persons will have to be here

there is no use writing to me for information

The Republicans of Connecticut held
their State Convention last Wednes-
day According to a custom which
dates back nearly to the time of the
Saybrook Platform, every city, town
and hamlet sent representatives, thus
bringing into full play the great diver
sity of opinion in the party in regard
to Presidential candidates The best
information from all sources shows
that of the twelve delegates to Chi
cago FIVE prefer Blaine, four are for
Edmunds, and three for Wasburne. 1t
is possible that Grant is the second
choice of one, while in some remote
contingency Sherman might get one.
But. according to the best estimate OF
the intelligent correspondent of the
New York Times, whose leanings to-
ward Grant are plainly perceptible, the
following is correct statement:

every reason TO believe that the vote Of
the Democrats viii Be larger, and sha
majority greater than il was four years
ago; or in 1916, when the Democrats
were divided on the Presidential ques-
don, and the Republicans united. 1t
viii be remembered too that we carried
the county In 1874, when the Republi-
cans had all the election machinery, and
had possession of six wards in this
city, with the Aid Of the authors Of the
forged tax receipts and the solid vote oil
the negroes in every ward. Then, too,
the United States Courts were so un-
fairly against the Democrats through
packed juries that there was far more
timidity in dealing with the negro vote
than there need be now. In fact 1t vas
then dangerous for Democrat to ask
negro TO vote their ticket, while the Re
publicans were actively al work buying
them like sheep.
