The primary election has been held
and its expression is distinct. It was
first called by the District Committee
the competent authority. Every eOm-
mittee IN the district took ready steps to
afford their respective counties the OPP
pOrtunity to hold their primary, except
"A part of the Ohio County Committee,
who simply sacrificed their duty to
the Democracy, and instead of becom-
ing the mediums for the expression Of
Democratic wishes they proved them
selves stumbling blocks and marplOts.
The Democratic people of Ohio county
were not willing to be sileneed by this
official malfeasance, and determined to
hold their primary election regularly
under the call Ofthe District Committee.
Two members of the Committee, i'm ac-
cOr,lance with their duty To the party,
made the formal arrangements for hold
ing this primary. The Chairman of
the District Committee, who had pre-
viously expressed the opinion that the
failure of Ohio county To hold her pri-
mary would defeat the district election,
has since that expression endorsed the
action of the minority of the Ohio
County Committee, and determined
that their proceedings are regular and
binding. The State Central Committee,
the highest Democratic authority in
the Commonwealth, has pronounced
the same Judgment, and proclaimed
that the action Of the primary election
when held would be final and eOnclu-
sive. Every step has been taken that
could he taken by the friends Of Demo-
cratic organization to make this prima-
~ election II perfect expression Of DEM
Ocratic will. To say that the detection
of three committeeman i'm Ohio county
should vitiate the action Of the Demoe-
racy of the district, is tn say that the
treachery of two or three Democrats in
party positions may defeat the will OF
the party i'm county, district, State or
Nation. This will never do, and least
of all at an important time like this.
The arguments pro and con, based ON
the non-action of Ohio county, are
now out of the question, for Ohio eOun-
ty has acted. Her action il sustained
by the authorities of the party. Thus
the last Substantial objection to the dis
trict primary election is removed. Its
action is final and conclusive. The fact
that in some regions of the district "A
small vote was cast, cannot affect the
validity of its verdict. There was no
contest to bring out a large vote.
Indeed, even i'm cases of close contest IL
rarely happens that a majority OF the
Democrats turn out to a convention or
primary election, and il has never hap
pened in this section, so far as We know,
that any nominee has received major
ity of all the Democratic voters resi-
dent in the jurisdiction. But, however,
this may he, it is the majority OF the
votes actually east that governs. This
is true i'm an election. Ii is true in a
Democratic convention or primary eiee-
ton. Conventions are the only medi-
ums of that organization which can
alone secure Democratic success. These
conventions have been held for the
county, district, State and United States.
Their voice is clear, their action binding
and Democrats will heed their solemn
Judgment Messenger and Examiner.

The Germams for Hancock.

Yesterday morning the Executive
Committee of the German-American
Independent Association held a meet
ing at No. 3O0 Third avenue and adopt
ell the following resolutions:
"wHEREAs, the past history Of Gar
field and Arthur, the nominees of the
Republican National Committee of
Chicago, does not in our judgment offer
any guarantee of a pure administration
i'm the event of the success of the Re
publican ticket; and
"WHEREAs, the unblemished char
acter, and indisputable integrity of
Hancock and English, the nominees OF
the Democratic National Convention of
Cincinnati, are guarantees of an honest
and efficient administration under their
leadership, therefore,
"Resolred, That We hail with delight
the nominations made by the Demo-
cratic National Convention as recognize
ing the principles indorsed by us; that
we form central committee To be

We take great pleasure in hearing
testimony to- the uniform courtesy and
kindness tn the travelling public, #
the officers and employees of the p. x
r.. rail road.
A gentleman from Northern State,
who has been recently visiting here, and
who came this road to Litchiiel,l, spoke
of the contrast in the conduct of the
conductors there to the courtesy and
kindness he received here, and we take
great pleasure to say that our experience
agrees with his, 80 far as this road Is
concerned. Their general ticket agent,
local agents and conductors all appear
to be gentlemen who are not alone anx-
iOus To procure the money Of the travel
ing public, but who wish to render them
value received for u not alone in service
done, but in making them comfortable
and pleasant while travelling. IL IL so
customary to abuse rail road men, that
many people do it without pausing to
inquire whether they deserve 1t or not,
and they get so much of it that it af-
fOrds pleasure To bear this testimony To
the officers of the road.

Bell was child of uncommon intelli-

fully whatever was required Of her. We
hear il remarked by her friends that
they never saw more industrious
child for her years, or one that did their
work as well. Her disposition to please
rendered her fivOrite with both old
and young, and she will he sadly missed

fully and died rs calmly as the sun sinks
below the far distant horizon. Sweet

General Hancock announces that he
will make the law the rule OF his con-
duct; that he will uphold the courts and
other civil authorities i'm the perform
ance of their proper duties, and that he
will Use his military power only to pre-
serve the peace and enforce the law.
When a great soldier, with unrestricted
power in his hands to oppress his fellow
