NJ The joint resolution providing for
counting the electoral vote, and declaI-
ing the result, by both Houses of Con-
gress will be taken up and passed imme-
diately after Congress re-convenes in
January. 1t passed the Senate at the
last session. The Republicans have and
vill make determined light to prevent
its passage, but will hardly be success
ful. They insist that the Vice Presi-
dent, and be alone, has the power to
open the returns. canvass the votes and
declare the result in the presence OF the
members OF the Senate and House =
That power 10 the hands OF an unscru'
puions poli,ician, like ARrNUR. Tor in-
stance, might be used for the benefit OF
his party rather than Tor the bert inter-
ests of the people. Let the joint reso-

A Big Success.

"My vile had been a;ling long time
with dyspepsia and nervousness and was
in bed two years with complication of
disorders her physicians could not cure,
whenI was led hy reading circular
left at nv door to try Parker's Ginger
Tonic. Having been SO often deceived
by worthless mixtures, nothing hut my
wiie's dangerous condition could have
led US to make any more experiments.
But it was big success. Three bottles
cured her, at a cost of dollar and fifty
cents, and she is now as strong as any
woman. and regularly does her house
hold duties.-R. D Buffalo. See other

Necessity the Mother OF 4nvention

This winter, as our readers are well
aware. has been an unusually cold one,
and the heroic task Of rising early in
the frosty air to make the fires has al
most come to the point where endurance
ceases 10 be virtue All that have this
duty to perform will hail with delight
what we have in store for them. Some
fertile-brained Yankee,-uho, evidently,
is not acquainted with the, Cadis, plan Of
making the obedient wife get up first,-
has employed bis native ingenuity in
contriving an arrangement that does
away with this miserable business as far
~ human nature is concerned and al
lows him an hours extra snooze every
morning. All this is accomplished by
means OF an alarm clock With weights,
a piece OF wire, a sheet Of sandpaper
and some matches. Paper, wood and
coal are put into the CRATE OF his cook
! ing stove, and a ,eakettle q led with wa
ter, and having tiny whistle fitted on
the nozzle Of the kettle is placed on the
stove BY setting the alarm in the
clock, he can have fire any time he
wishes. When the alarm ia the clock
goes of. . weight falls and hits the
j'wire; the wire moves and scrapes the
matches fastened to il on the sandpaper
the matches light the paper in the stove
the paper fires the wood and coal, and
soon the fire is under way. In little
while the water in the teakettle hollis
and then the tiny whis,le gives the note
Of warning that everything is ready and
! It Is time to get up 1. is simple thing
and yet great comfort. Tuere is nc

burgh branch of the B & o at Penns-

The Delegate VS.. Tie Popular Vote
! SYSTEM.

EDITOR SPIRIT: notice an editorial in
the Spirit Of tue 7th inst, in which you
advocate the popular Vote" plan OF
holding our county conventions. As
the reasons stated in the article referred
to do not seem 10 me 10 be conclusive
on tue subject, desire, with your per-
mission, to present few suggestions in
favor OF the Delegate plan. I wish,
however, TO preface my remarks with
the assertion that am not one of the
thirty or more expected candidates spo-
ken OF, nor do l write in the interest of
any candidate, present or prospective; !;
but what have to say is set down in
good faith, and is Believed to be il the
interest of the whole Democratic party.
The object Of holding q convention is
two-fold; first to secure the best We6 as
candidates for the several offices, and
second, 10 preserve our organization as
party All those who desire the well
fare OF the public and Of the party must
concede that The plan Of convention
which aecures the largest proportion Of
honest, capable and efficient men on the
ticket, and, at the same time, best per.
notes the interests of the party, is the
plan that should be adopted. The large
number OF expected candidates is urged
as one Of the reasons why we should
have . popular vote convention mex
spring. But is the large number OF can
:; didates an argumeRt in favor OF such 4
convention On the contrary, I believe
that the great numbers OF candidates
furnishes one among the many reason
why We should have Delegate eonven
ton. 1t is true, this is free country
! and every man who feels that he owe
his services to the country and that th
= country needs them, has perfect righ
5 to offer himself as q sacrifice on the alta
!, OF his country--',Suhject to The decisio
: ofsthe nominating convention" But
