Ex-Governor CASTOR has written a let
ter declining the Democratic nomination
for Congress from the Fourth district of
Massachusetts,, as he is satisfied that his
acceptance under existing circumstances
would not promote harmony in the party.
This action leaves Representative Morse
the candidate of the party in the Fourth
district, lie having accepted the nomina-
tion of that portion Of the convention
which left the meeting previous to Gas
toms nomination.
An Altoona paper in noticing E. X.
MARTINS recent Republican speech in
that city gives him the following recon-
mend to Frank Eshleman for active SER
vice on the stump in this county Mr.. Mar
tin is one of the rising men of Lancaster
county. He started his public life in the
anti-Cameron movement in that county
and as one of the leaders in that movement
they have made complete revolution in
the ranks Of the Republican party there
and at the primary elections in Lancaster
last spring he canvassed the county for in
structions for Galusha A. Grow for the
choice Of the county for United States SEN
ator against the ring manager Quay
and carried the county by over
1900 mrjority, against the combined
strength of the Cameron party, who were
plentifully supplied with meney.
Lizzie F., widow of the late w. G.
RAI.sToN, has filed a complaint in the
superior court against Senator Sharon.
The document is to the effect that Ralston
and Sharon were partners in business that
Sharon was one of the executors of Raj
ston's will, of which complainant was sole
beneficiary; that the partnership property
at the time of Ralston's death amounted
in round numbers to the value of $50, ,OOO,-
600; that Ralston just before his death
gave Sharon trust deed of his property:
that Sharon has had the custody of the
partnership books and papers ; that no in
ventory Of the estate of Ralston has been
filed by the executors. and that Sharon, by
false representations and other means, has
defrauded complainant in the settlement
of her late husbands estate Of large

counting and such restitution as may seem
just.

Let lis Hare Peace.

In view of the alteration between
some of the members of the Young
Mems Republican club and bystanders
on the West King street sidewalk last
night, the INTELL1eENCER is pleased to
recall that as early as Sept. 16, it made
these recommendations looking to the
observance of good feeling On such occa-
sions:
We understand that tomorrow evening
when the Democratic clubs of this city
will have their street parade and mass
meeting the Republican organizations will
indulge in similar demonstration. To
the jealous partisans of both sides the ex-
ample of Reading is commended as worthy
of all acceptation. On Tuesday evening
the rival organizations of that city paraded
the streets, and the Eagle says when the
Democrats passed under the Republican
flags they lowered their torches, and SO did
the Republicans when they passed under
the Democratic flags. This is the right
way for one side to treat the other.
Friends and neighbors and residents of the
same city. should endeavor to treat each
other kindly.
1t has pleased one of our contempora-
ries persistently, during the present cam
paign, to seek to arouse party passion by
the filthiest and most inflammatory abuse
of the men, women and children of the
Eighth ward. 1t has pleased another to
indulge in malignant Misrepresentation
of the INTELLIGENCER for rebuking
the attempt to influence public senti.
ment against business interests on
political grounds and the effort to
introduce partisan views into the purely
business relations of our everyday life -
and, following the same line of thought
it has been lavish with covert suggestions
to Republican employers to discharge
their Democratic employees. For all
this the INTELLIGENCER stands by its
determination in behalf of law and order
and neighborly relations, and is for the
prompt punishment of misbefavior.
whether by drunken Democratic rowdies
or drunken Republican rowdies.

would be supplied with money TO carry on
the campaign in New York, believing, as
he said, that four votes out of every five
cast for that party would come from the
Democratic party. General Sharpe adj
vised me to cooperate with Jones, mas
much as said Jones being elected chair
man Of the state committee. the Republi-
cans were bound to deal directly with him
through third party and would furnish
means for campaign purposes. Every

proprietors of which arc sturdy supporters
Of Gen. Hancock, the soldier-statesman
candidate of the Democratic party. They
got the tree up after the usual amount OF

and then Davy Derby made a speech which
only served to amuse the Democratic por-

than than half of those present without
arousing corresponding amount of en-
thusiasm on the part of the few Republ
cans, who will have to try again if they
want to frighten the staunch Democrats

Tom Furniss bravely bore the Little

The colored troops declared on their

who, in company with George Gardner,
had charge of the fireworks, says that the
cause of the accident was that spark
from rocket which had just been sent of:

in his coat pocket, for the purpose Of
making blue and red lights, and that the
powder ignited to the other fireworks:
Mr.. Gardner was considerably burned, and
Mr.. Trapnell only slightly. The horse
was cut loose from the wagon and escaped

Murphy Meeting.

-
The Murphies had a rousing meet
ing Monday night. Pres. j. E. Hut
ton in the chair A. B. Cluster. Sec,
and Mrs. Cotsworth in charge of the
organ. The meeting was opened by
a song by the choir; prayer by Rev.
j. A. Brooks. The first thing of
special import was a solo by Miss
Minnie French, assisted in the cho-
by Miss Cotsworth, DR.. Fetter
and George Laforce. Miss French
acquitted herself admirably, showing
she has a voice of a good deal of
power, and with care and attention
will make an excellent singer. The
address of the evening was delivered
by Rev. T. j. Wheat on the SUBJ
ject, ''Love to Country and it was
one of the happiest little efforts and
neatest speeches that has been de-
livered in the Opera House for some
time to the Murphy audiences
Astounding in pitb. point and patriot
ism it made one feel like wrapping
the stars and stripes around ones
self and giving three cheers for the
United States of America, Mexico
and vicinity. Bro. Wheat was fol-
lowed by q song by the choir, the
solo part being sung by Miss Matte
West with full chorus by the choir,
which was we'll rendered. The pres
ident then called upon Rev. T. ].
Gooch, whose plain, practical talks
are like no other persons, and al
ways prove a welcome to the audi
ences. He responded to the invita-
ton, and made US feel as if we would
try and carry out in our lives all the
good things be said. The invitation
was then extended for signers to the
pledge and some fifteen persons re-
sponded. The order maintained
throughout was excellent due to the
character of the audience and the
watchful care of Mayor Bassford and
night Waterman A. j. Stasey. Thanks,
gentlemen.
