DEAR FRREMAS-I see In q late issue a commu-
nicstiou from this place signed &C. O. H. and in
forming the public Of the manner in which cur To-
say before proceed further that Jim MauIls thinks
the communication in question should have been
supposed to know In fact public opinion viii hear
me out in the assertion that what Jim don't know
in the way of borough gossip is not worth knowing
.'He takes the papers
But to proceed with the subject The late elec-
ton was conducted in the same manner as those
which preceded it. and by a competent and consci-
entiOus board, every member Of which, as believe
did htsswhole duty according TO the Instructions
contained in the election laws furnished by the
county commissioners. The law expressly declares
that II any ticket contains more names than there
ought 10 be. il is for rejecting the ballot
tire, even though the other names on the ticket
have been properly voted for. See vol , page a..
The election law also stipuates that the names of
all officers voted for shall appear ticket It
is therefore the opinion Of your pendent that
until a change has been made in the wording of
the law concerning the duties Of election boards.
a judicial decision clearly pointing them out,
ture election boards. Il is generally the that
all candidates voted for do not receive certificate
office from the board in consequence OF their
receiving the highest number Of votes cast. That
was the case the late election two Democrats re
ceiying the DrOper credentials of election Here
tofOre there was one Of each party. l think this
will explain one Of the several frivolous reasons
why your correspondent says there has been
much idle talk since the election. But enough,
and more than enough on this Subject

Mr.. Michael Eitzharris. of Altoona VIII again
take charge of his hotel in this place the first
the coming month. when Dir. James Msulls the
present popular landlord, will remove to Hunting
don county. whore he intends to embark in the

sorry to see him leave. May success attend him
wherever he goes.
Rev Father Boyle announced week ago last
Sunday that it was the wish Of the RI. Rev Bishop
70 have Sisters Of some religious order located in
our midst ot an early day. ! hcpc the time is not
far distant when our youth will be enabled to en-
JOY the advantages derived 10y attending school
under the charge of the good Sisters. The instruc-
tions in ethics alone would amply repay the cost.
In concluding, beg leave to assure you that the
course pursued by the county committee at its late
meeting Is not endorsed by majority Of the Dem
ocrats in this vicinity. If the committee persists
in abrOgating the viii OF the people. il must result
in continued disaster at the polls. This is SO plain
i proposition that he who runs may read.
