BELLEFoNTE, Pa, THURSDAY, OCTOBER p, 1881

AGAINST the election of Daniel
G. Keller to the Office Of County
Treasurer we have noticed two objec-
tions urged in the columns of the
Bellefonte Republican, both of which,
however, are so Insignificant and puer.
lie that it would probably be better to
treat them with contempt and derision
Iather than with serious comment.
First, it is urged that Mr.. Keller is
member of Il particular religious
denomination and that he might,
should he be elected, help the congre-
CATION of the church to which he be-
longs by a contribution when he comes
TO Bellefohte. How silly an inanity Of
that kind must appear to sensible and
intelligent people!
The other objection to Mr.. Keller is
that he is n stuck dealer Well, sup.
pose he is. Do the astute writers for
the Republican presume to say that
the business which this industrious and
hard working man follows for live
lihood is not an honest calling in
which any one may engage without
discredit to his personal integrity +?
They will scarcely dare TO assume a
position of that kind. Daniel c. Kel-
Ter has passed bis entire life in Centre
county; he is respected by all who
know him as n man Of integrity aud
Of upright character, and it is an out
rage upon decency and propriety to
assail him because of the avocation
which he has followed to earn living
for himself and family. We ask the
Democrats of Centre county to resent
these insults to an honest and good
citizen when they gs the polls on the
Sth day of November.

A BITTER fight is under way in the
Republican party Of Centre county
over the Office OF County Commissioner
between the friends Of Rankin aud the
friends of Campbell. Both sides are
very anxious to make terms with the
Democrats in the hope that either one
or the other may be benefited thereby.
Our advice 10 Democrats is to keep
aloof from alliances with either side
of these Republican factions. The
Democratic party has nothing to gain
by bargains or trades. The Demo
cratic candidates for County Commits.
sioners are both gentlemen who de.
serve the united support of the party.
They should receive the full Demo
cratic vote Of the county, aud we hope
that the election returns will show
that such has been the case. Let the
Republicans settle their own differ
ences and elect whichever Of their can
didates the majority of their party
may desire to have in the Commission
ers' Office. 1t is no concern of the
Democratic party which of the two
gentlemen on the Republican ticket
named for the Office may be elected.
Gricst and Wolf should be the watch.

The Democratic County Ticket


The Democracy of Centre county
have an imperative and weighty duty
to perform on Tuesday, the Sth day of
November, which they must not regard
too lightly nor in any way neglect.
That duty is simply to 60 to the elec-
ton polls on the day named and give
to the entire local ticket placed in
nomination by the representatives of
the party, who met in convention last
August, united, earnest and faithful
support.
This ticket embraces nearly all the
Offices of Importance and responsibility
in the county, and it is gratifying to
realize and to be able to say TO the
public. in all truth and without the
slightest exaggeratiou, that it is a
ticket composed Of gentlemen who
have stood the test of the most search
ing inquiry, and have grown stronger
and stronger with the voters of the
county each day since they were nomi'
mated, just as their characters, qualif.
cations and merits became better
known and appreciated.
Two Associate Judges are to be
elected, and to fill these positions the
party should esteem it a great pleasure
to vote for two such excellent and up
right citizens as ]. GIBSON LARIaER
and john K. RUSKLE. They are just
and honest men, will do high honor to
the bench, and deserve full vote.
For the Office of Sheriff the party
should give splendid vote to THOMAS
j. DUSKEL. He has always been an
active and influential Democrat in the
locality in which be has lived for many
years, belongs TO the class of working
men, and is thoroughly well qualified
for the important duties Of the place
for which he is candidate. He has
worked his way upward in life from
IN humble beginning and deserves en-
couragement and success for his ener.
gy and perseverance. We cannot
doubt that fitting a reward to his ef-
forts in the past will be a strong and
emphatic response from the ballOt-box
and that he will go into the Sheriff e
Office with sweeping majority.
The honor Of Q denomination for
the office Of Prothonotary was con-
ferred upon J. CALvIs HARPER with
little or no opposition. This was a
compliment he well deserved. He has
been one Of the most efficient and pop
ular officials the county has ever bad
Is such complete master Of all the in
tricate and important duties that per.
tain TO the position, and is, withaI, 50
afiable and courteous to every one
who visits the Office on business that II
seems almost like folly for the opposi.
ton 70 seriously attempt to contest the
election with him. He deserves a
splendid endorsement from the party,
and thet fact should be considered by
Democratic voters on election day.

JoHN CESSNA is a candidate for
President Judge in the Bedford and
Somerset district and is conducting
his campaign in the style peculiar to
him-that of hypocritical and un-
blushing demagogue. He announces
through his chairman that he is n
member of Christian church, n fact
difficult of belief, only that John af-
iects to drag it into the political arena,
claiming by the title of brotherhood
that the members of that church
should vote for him in preference to
his honorable, high.toned and distin.
guished opponent, Mr.. Baer, Of Somer-
set. 1t is doubtful whether the Reform
ed Church of the Bedford district will
consider itself complimented in being
thus used by notoriously dishonest
demagogue to advance his selfish pur.
poses. 1t is certain, If the membership
of that highly respectable denomina.
ton OF Christians in Bedford main.
tain the same honorable Christian
standard they do elsewhere. it will re.
pei this attempt to drag them into the
dirty pools of the questionable politi-
cal methods Of which John Cessna is
the ideal representative.

The objections of the Bellefonte
Republican to the election of james
A. McClain TO the office of Register
are about as foolish as those which the
same journal has urged against other
candidates upon the Democratic tick.
ct. The Republican admits that Mr..
McClain is "fully capable of filing
the position" and that in all respects
be stands upon an equality with the
Republican candidate for the same
Office. This is enough for Democrats
to know. and we do not doubt that to
a man they will vote for James A.
McClain.

Bible is a deserving young man and
is fully competent for the Office Of Re-
corder; he is an earnest young Demo-
crat, a native Of the county, and you

THE only change in the Cabinet Of
President Arthur thus far announced
is the appointment of Ex-Governor
Edwin d. Morgan to be Secretary of
the Treasury in place of Window, of
the Garfield Cabinet. Mr.. Morgau's
name was sent to the Senate last Mon.
day and his nomination was promptly
confirmed; but 1t is now reported that
he hesitates to accept the profered
honor on account of his age and feeble
health. Should his declination be alb.
solute it is probable that Judge Fol.
ger, also of New York, will be ap-
pointed. One thing is certain: Ar.
