A petition was circulated the present
week among the attorneys of Johnstown,
for presentation to his Honor, Judge Dean,
requesting him to be candidate for re-
election to the President Judgeship of this
Judicial District, providing Cambria county
is not formed into separate district The
document was signed by all but one of the
lawyers in the south of the county, and we
understand that the same petition has been
favorably considered by the members of the
Bar of Ebensburg and Carroltown II is
the desire of the legal fraternity to retain on
the Bench a Judge who, during his imcum-
bency Of nearly ten years, has at all times
and under all circumstances performed the
onerous duties devolving upon him in a
way which he deemed was right, Just, and
proper, and upon no occasion can it be said
that he swcrved a hairs breadth from his
conviction through fear, favor or affec-
tion.r-While upholding thestern mandates
of the law, and the dignity Of his position,
he has been uniformity kind and courteous
to members of the legal profession, and
merciful TO criminals who in his judgement
or at the instance of appeals which were
made in the interest OF those who were often
more sinned against than SHINING" were
considered worthy of clemency. The peti-
ton is an almost unanimous request, re-
gardless of party, or politics, or partisan
predilection -Ioassoun Tribune.

AT the opening of the present year We
were compelled to weed our mailing list oi
a number of names that We had been carry
ing for some time, of persons who did not
pay for their paper since that time we have
more thon made up the deficiency. We are
daily adding new names to our list, and the
HERALD's subscription books are now in a
more healthy condition than ever before. This
fact, we are pleased 10 say, goes far towards
showing that true and stalwart Republican
ism is still endorsed and appreciated by
Somerset county's Frosty Sons" The
HERALD has considerably more subscribers
than both other papers in the county, and
more than double those Of any other one.
We are indebted to our friends in different
sections who have kindly interested them
selves in Increasing our subscription list
-
We are sorry that We are compelled 10 call
public attention to the fact that the editor
of the Dsmocrat does not read his Bible. In
his issue of last week he says /: ''The word
lady does not occur or is not found in the
Bible" He surely does not mean to call in
question the canon of Scripture, by reject
ing the second epistle of st. John, in which
the word lady" occurs twice.
We do not make this correction in the
spirit of vain-glorious Boosting, because we
are posted on this important subject, but in
justice not only 10 the fair sex, but also to
the fraternity of newspaper men who are
proverbially orthodox and well-conducted,
and who will therefore be deeply panied by
this confession of ignorance of the Bible by
one of their associates We are charitable
enough to think, however, that the editor
of the Democrat is only rusty, and We trust
he will give himself to reading before
venturing again to discuss Scriptural top

Ed. HERALD.-The editor Of that milk and
water sheet, The Mcyersdale Commercial,
is something more than ordinary in the
way ofa reformer, in fact he reminds us of
one of the latter day saints, in the way he
is reforming everything. 1t will be easily
remembered by those who have been read
ers ofthat delectable sheet how, about five
or six years ago this great editor ferreted
out the 'GreenviIle school house burners" :"
tried. convicted. and sent them to states
prison for life. This he did all himself, for
/ never heard that anybody else ever med
died with the "Grecnville school house
burners; :" and of course he has them in the
penitentiary because he always said that he
would not abate his efforts until lac would
have them there, and as ] have not seen
anything in his sheet for quite time about
the school house burners, so it is to be taken
for granted that he has them there This is
reform No. |.
Second, it will also be remembered how
easily he and few Others, a year. or nearly
ago, proposed Blaine for President and nom
mated him at Chicago for the Republican
party. and of course he was elected last fall,
and inaugurated yesterday, and the honor
is all due this latter day saint" the editor
of the Cop,morciaf This is reform No.2
Thirdly, very easily will it be remembered
that last fall he arrested, tried, convicted
and sent TO state prison the Salisbury riot
ers.r and besides, this ''latter day saint tore
mn root and branch, in Somerset County,
the organization Jailed the knights Of La
bor. and at present has the organization all
over the United States in fair way oftumb-
ling to piece This is reform No. 3.
Fourthly, this great saint has entirely re-
formed the Republican party, smashed eau
cuses. and driven to the devil the machine,
has elected Grow to the Z. s. Senate, made
Cameron. Conkling, Logan, Cessna, and
scull take back seats This is reform No. 4
Fifthly. he (this great reformer) in the
coming campaign will nominate triumph
autIy every bolter and kicker in the party
by large majorities. over those who were al
wavs true to the party, and party usuages
/ This will be more fully developed in fu
ture article. In concluding this article
win only say that no candidate who sympa
thizes with the boltes and kicker will re
ceiye over six votes in Brothersvalley
because the Republicans Of this township
vote with their eyes open, and that ths
Brothcrsvalley correspondent to the Gops'
merriai in last wcek'sissue. was no. rep'ib-
| lican but an enemy to the party almost
eoual to that of the great resormer.
