the body of Miss Eliza Snodgrass,
daughter of VIM. III. Snodgrass, ESQ.,,
was found hanging dead and cold in the
upper story of the family residence, in
Sullivan county, some 5 miles southeast
of Bristol The deceased was a most
excellent and highly esteemed young
lady. From child she has been a
pious member of the nj. E. Church,
and for some time taught school, giving
excellent satisfaction as teacher. She
is cousin of Messrs. Geo., Joe, and
Robt Pile, who are among the leading
Main street merchants of Bristol and
was aged about "a years. She leaves
father, mother, and brothers to mourn
her death, which was due to spinal
affection of some two years. existence,
and which had caused her to exhibit
the most melancholy mental condition.
A hank of thread was used for the
deed

PEARsoN,s POSITION.

Gen. A. L. Pearson, who has for years
been identified very prominently With
the Republican party of this county, has
declared himself for Hancock for Pfesi-
dent. There has been much talk about
the Generals change of base, and not a
few of his old Republican friends are
now pitching into him lively. The Gen
eral Was interviewed recently,
Gar, you for Hancock, GeneralP"
"Undoubtedly, l am" replied the Cen
eral; Il will in a day or two send a letter
to u. Grant, Chairman ofthe National
Committee ofthe Veterans Union Boys
in Blue), Withdrawing from that organi'
cation. 1 am the member t ON this
state, and have been for seven years. l
shall set forth in that letter that / expeSt
to support Hancock; and as the Veter
Grams Union is a Republican %organiza-
ton, l cannot consistently hold the posi-
ton of representative from Pennsylva'
MIA"
The General firmly believes that Han
cock will be elected. Archy Rowand was
giving him the bluff the other day, when
the General offered to bet on Hancock.
Rowand took him up. and the two put
up 1926 each in Judge Fetterman's hands

We are surprised that a shrewd gen.
tleman, holding a county Office at the
hands Of the Republican party, should
not refrain from manipulating nomina-
tons Of his party for other positions in
the Court House. The men whom he
plotted against no doubt supported him,
when he himself was a candidate.
Does he want to stock the Court House
with his special friends? 1t strikes us
not to be in good taste for a Court House
official 80 favored by his party, to assume
to be dictator. Modesty and humility
are c%ommendable qualities in an official.

The Democrats ought to carry Maine,
New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Hi
nois, California, Oregon and Nevada, in
the present condition of politics; and
Ohio should be debatable ground. But
to do this work they must organize in
detail, give up Boosting, and take of
their coats from this day until Novem-
Der. Even with success sure, no energy
should be relaxed Exchange
This is the right talk. The party in
power are not going to be displaced with
out earnest, determined, organized ef-
fort on the part of the people. The cor.
ruptions and m~onopolies built up and
dependent upon the Republican party
continuing in power, will lend their aid
to perpetuate the same. All this, com
bined with the power and patronage Of
zeal one hundred thousand Government
officials, whose official existence is all at
stake, should convince our friends that
organized effort is necessary to Demo-
cratic success.

H. H. MCCORMICK, of Pittsburg, United

pointed thereto. Mr.. Mccormick was
interviewed by a Posi- representative,
and among other things, said There
is no doubt that it is a blow by John
Sherman and Hayes at Garfield. They
want to defeat Garfield and they think
they can accomplish this by striking
down the Grant men throughout the
country, and thus disgusting them. They
are particularly anxious to offend the
Grant men in Pennsylvania, and to lose
the State to the party. This policy will
not do" said Mr.. Mccormick energetl.

Rutherford B. Hayes can wei drive me

did, but he has rewarded me as all hypo-
critics reward those who work for them"

The Republican papers claim that
Garfeld's taking the Credit Mobilier as
he did, was not a corrupt transaction.
This admits the fact, at all events, which
is something; and would seem to claim
that Mr., Garfield was a very innocent,
not to say green youth, in thus accepting
so valuable a gift, How comes it,thougb,
that Mr.. Garfield did not acknowledge
the corn when under OATH Why did
he deny it in tOtOp Why did he not,
like a little man, acknowledge he de.
stroyed the tree with his little Ratchet ?
