DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO TAKE A
PART IN THE PROCEEDINGS.
For THE PREss.
Last week posters were circulated
announcing "Grand Rally to be
held at the court house on Saturday
evening, and Hon. w. E. Finck
and other speakers would address the
meeting. Democrats were glad to
have SO early an opportunity of hear
ing Democratic speech and joining
a Democratic club. Matters went
smoothly along until Saturday after
noon, when to the surprise and NOR
tifcation of Democrats, boilers could
be seen makeing arrangements to par
ticipate in the organization. The
matter was repeatedly referred to by
Democrats, and a number from the
country who intended to stay for the
meeting but becoming disgusted with
the treachery the bolters practiced
last fall, and were getting into posi-.
ton to control the party machinery,
went home, while not a dozen Demo
Gratis in town took any interest in the
matter. When the time come for the
meeting. the Somerset Brass Band
rendered several pieces in front of the
court house in order to draw crowd.
After the band got through some fifty
persons assembled in the court room
and choose the officers to preside at
the meeting, one of which was among
the treacherous gang of bolters and
the other voted against portion Of
the ticket.
Suggestions and motions were made
by men who have no right to take
part ir Democratic meetings, and who
are an injury to the party. Nine
tenths of The Democracy of the town
ship would refuse to accept a ticket
from the hands of some of the partici
pants at this meeting.
The combination of Democratic
boilers with the withdrawal of the
National candidate for Treasurer in ia.
vor of the Republican nominee &C.
complished the defeat of one of the
best men in the Democratic ranks in
the county, and now these same boil
ters are attempting to dictate to the
party. The only thing left for the De
mocracy ofthis township todo is to ig.
more the so called boilers club and or
ganize a Democratic club, and if il
becomes necessary to put the traitors
out of the organization it will be done
We must either do this or sustain &
heavy loss at the election, as Demo
Gratis will not associate with the mer
who have dragged politics down t.
the black mail profession.

has an honorable foundation. 1t was re-
solved that the delegates elected are in
structed to support General U. s. GRANT
for the Presidential nomination and to vote
as unit on all questions that may come
before the convention. This was carried
by n vote of 1873 to 113 Before the vote
was cast a motion was made to strike out
GRANT and insert BLAINE. This was lost
by vote of 90 ayes to 154 nays. On this
motion 249 votes were cast, and on the
GRANT motion 246 votes wero cast. This
vote shows that the convention was almost
solid for Instructions and the unit rule. Out
of the highest number of votes cast on
these questions only twenty-one members
appear to have been disposed to re-
fuse their assent. Ninety-fve of Mr..
BLANEs friends did all that was in
their power to instruct the delegates
aud to require them to vote as unit at the
convention at Chicago. They entered the
contest, accepted the issue, were honorably
defeated, and now anyone can now say that
the BLAINE delegation in the Pennsylvania
Convention have OF by their action hon
orably bound the delegates to Chicago to
accept the instructions given them must

rived and relieved them n very creditablo
affair, but there was no more gallantry dis
played there than there was in the score of
Indian fights that have taken place within
few years past. If we recOlect Alright,
Cook, MILES HOWARD and few other
officers had several sanguinary fights, but
we do not recollect that they or any of their
officers rushed to Washington to claim pro-
motion by special legislation. Vicksburg,
Gettysburg Antietam, &c, were also
very respectable affairs, but we never heard
that the officers engaged therein ever
demanded special acts of Congress to pro-
mote them for their services.

IF the general business interests of the
