CONGRESSIONAL APPORTION
MENT.

Under the law a new apportionment
Of Representatives in Congress may be
made at the the coming session of Con-
gress, this winter. Whether or not
this may be done will depend on
whether the late Census is in such
completed shape as to be reported to
that body. If SO completed the pres
ent Congress will have the power to
act in the matter. This action will
consist mainly in fixing the ratio of
future representation; that is, what
number of population it will establish
for q member. The present ratio is
l3l, ,425 citizens, or population to a
member, which made Congress, since
the last apportionment under the Cen.
sus Of 1870, consists of 293 members. If
this number of members is still retain
ed, tie next ratio for a member, it is
stated, will be about 10000 of pop
ulation This will decrease the num-

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The Allegheny Evening Mail, in an
able article. favors Hon. Thomas NJ.
Bayne for United States Senator. Col.
Bayne at present represents the north
ern district OF Allegheny county in
Congress, composed in part of Ale
gbeDy city, and is therefore nearer to
US than any candidate yet named out
side of this county. He has made a
record in Congress that is attracting
attention and is regarded as one of the
most promising and rising public men
of this State. He is able, reliable and
deserving, and we do not think strange
that his constituents. who are justly
proud of him, are pressing him for
ward.
There are other names mentioned in
the western part of the State, among
them Col. Thompson of this county,
who was recommended by our last
County Convention, and who our
members in the coming Legislature
will of course give their first support
to and aid in all honorable ways pos
sible. Judge Aghew has also many
friends in this county for the Senator
ship, and if he should consent to accept
the place, and should be be chosen, we
would have Senator of such charac-
ter and ability that the whole State
could be proud Of Lieut.. Gov Stone,
Of Warren county, has also friends
here who would like to see him adj
vanced. There are also others in the
Western part of the State spoken of.
Outside of what may be termed the
western part there is no name more
frequently mentioned, nor any man
that has the friends here that Hon.
Galusha A. Grow has for the coming
Senatorship In fact mary of the west,
ern counties have already instructed for
him, among them the strong counties
of Mercer, Crawford, Erie, Lawrence,
Venango, etc. He is the favorite Of
all the Northern tier of counties from
Mexican to Susquehanna, and Of many
in the middle and eastern parts OF the
State. 1t is claimed that he, by rea-
son Of his great services and ability,
deserves the Senatorship and should
now have it. 1t is choice gift Of the
party and should always be filed by a
man of decided ability and unques-
toned good character.

In the Whole History of Medicine

No preparation has ever performed such mar
velous cures, or maintained so wide repu-
tation, as AYRE's CHERRY PECToRAL, which
is recognized as the worlds remedy for all
diseases of the throat and lungs. Its long
continued series of wonderful cures in all
climates has made it universally known as a
safe and reliable agent to employ. Against
ordinary colds, which are the forerunners of
more serious disorders it acts speedily and
surely, always relieving suffering and often
saving life. The protection il affords. by its
timely use in the throat and lung disorders
of children, makes it an invaluable remedy
to be kept always on hand in every home
No person can afford to be without it. and
those who have once used it never will. From
their knowledge of its composition and eff
fects, Physicians use the CHERRY PICTORIAL
extensively in their practice. and Clergymen
recommend it. 1t is absolutely certain in its
remedial effects, and will always cure where
cures Gre possible.

The Miners Win.

We last week published the notice
of the miners demanding an increase
in the price paid for mining coal. 1t
was thought this would cause strike,
but Sunday afternoon notice was
given by all the mines to their minis

ded by them. 1t was thought the
operators would hold firm until Sat
urday night, when four of them

deal of rejoicing among the miners
over their success. This is an advance
of 10 cents per ton.-ReySer Echo.

On Wednesday afternoon of last

whose age was about % years, was
found upon the railroad near Wes-

been missing since Saturday night,
and it is supposed that while under
the influence of liquor he attempted
to cross the county bridge, which is
not safe for vehicles or pedestrians
consequently boarded up, and in so
doing fell into the stream and was
drowned. The finding of the body
was the first intimation his friends
received as to his wareabouts.

CINCINNATI WINS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The Demo
ocratic National Committee TODAY
decided to hold the National Con.
vention of their party on Tuesday,
June Y, Despite the declaration of
the TiIdenites that their chief was
indifferent to the choice of locality as
between Chicago, Cincinnati and St.
Louis, there is 10 doubt his agents
worked hard for St. Louis, and only
relinquished the contest when they
became convinced that they could
not win. They then attempted to
secure Chicago, but were unsuccess.
full. 1t was only when they realized
that Cincinnati was bound to carry
the day that the Tilden men put for.
ward the pretence that they had no
objection to that city and would vote
for it. The defeat of Tilden is the
more significant because his was the
only organized effort made here on
behalf of any presidential candidate.
Coupled with the fact that up to
recent period Mr.. Tilden controlled a
large majority of the National Com.
mittee, his loss of that majority at
this juncture indicates that his pros
| poets for the nomination are not as
fiatterlng as some of his friends
would have us believe. Certain il il.
that the anti-Tildenites regard the
action Of the committee as an en-
phatic victory over TIden. The.
Tammany men, who have taken the
most active part against Tilden in
this fight, left for home o.night say
ing that they considered their great
enemy virtually beaten for the nom
inalion. 1T must be admitted that
the determined stand taken by Tam
manyites against Tilden, and their
ultimatum that if he should be nom.
mated they would not support him,
but would spare nothing to accom-
pliSh his defeat, has weakened Tilden
materially. The Democrats generally
consider New YORK as lost to them
unless the party there should be uni
ted and harmonious in the next cam
paign. And so long as the TamlHany.
faction maintains its pr esent position
against Mr.. Tilden, the almost unan..
imous ooinion among the Democrats
is that to nominate him would BIO
equivalent to throwing away the
State in advance. On the other hand,
Mr.. Tilden is himself power no less
formidable than Tammany, and his.
friends assert that no candidate OBJ.
jectionable to him shall carry New
York. The selection of Cincinnati
means that the Democracy have de-.
termined TO wage a vigorous CAM,
paign in Ohio next fall, and there is
not the slightest doubt that the,
second place on the ticket will be
given to that State, whether Tilden
is nominated or not. This, of course,
disposes of Hendricks, since Tilden
has declared that he will not consent.
to his nomination for the first place.

to the position occupied by the gov

During the past week we have sent
out bills for subscription to a large
number of subscribers who are much
farther in arrears than they should
be. These bills should be paid at
once. We have been over indulgent,
but that is not a sufficient reason that
our indulgence should be presumed
upon. If you cannot send in the
amounts at once. do so at the earliest
possible time. We need money in
order to meet promptly our obliga-
lions. which are many.
