Oh News.


Nothing pew has come to our notice
concerning the Developments or new
ventures in this county reported last
week. There are different rumors
floating about The country regarding
the Beaver Valley we'll on 5211, but
as all parties directly interested are
sworn to secrecy nothing definite can
be ascertained. Some say It is dry
while Others say it is showing for a
good well, something after the style of
the Cherry Grove gushers, and there
is simply no telling at present what it
Is good for. One thing may be put
down as pretty certain, and that is,
the we'll is not yet finished, for az we
understand it the owners don't care
particularly about making a mystery
Of it, but want to be the first TO know
whether or not they have a good we'll,
and it is perfectly right they should.
If they have good well they don't
care who knows it, and il il is duster
they propose to know first. Regard.
ing this venture yesterdays Derrick
has the following
Considerable excitement was caused
in Warren yesterday morning by the
report that the Tionesta oil company's
well, on warrant 5211, Forest county,
had struck oil. The report was circu-
lated late Saturday night, and during
Sunday a number of persons visited
the place. The derrick was found to
be closely boarded up, SO that not even
peep into the interior could be had.
There was no outward sign of oil
either on the tools or the derrick, but
the breeze waited odors of gas about
the place, and one man said it smelled
Of fresh oil. Another gentleman, who
has been a driller for years, says he
could smell no oil, bat the odor of gas
was plentiful. The derrick is closely
guarded, and the owners and drillers
are all sworn to secrecy. No one is
allowed to approach the derrick, nor
are any questions answered. One man
who visited it Sunday, arrived there
when the guards were asleep or negli-
gent of their duties, and managed TO
get his head inside the derrick before
being discovered and bounced. He
said the roaring in the casing resem.
bled that of 646 before it was opened.
There was casing connection which
went down under the derrick to some
unknown point. No signs Of oil were
visible; except some greasy cables
which laid in the derrick. This after
noon they were drilling at the we'll"
Gushers of the regulation size, .. e.,
from 1000 to 1000 barrels, continue to
come to the front in the Cherry Grove

said to contain over four thousand in.
babitants already, In a few weeks
VIC predict the excitement will break
out in Forest county, and then we'll
all be happy.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Har-
risburg Patriot, has very properly chal-
lenged the Philadelphia Times to speak
out and tell the Democracy of the state
upon what it bases its inuendoes about
persons likely to be nominated or
candidates for nomination at the Demo
cratic state convention. If the Times is
the fearless and honest journal that it pro
fesses to he it will not disregard
this challenge. If there is anything
in the records of any man for
whom a Democratic nomination is
sought let it be told now. We share
with the Times a disinclination for
self-seeking candidates for whose
nomination themselves are chiefly Cur.
gent" but it is to he remembered that
nowadays the inclination for public
Office 10 not generally regarded as in
itself test of ineligibility, and the
Times has frequently urged upon the
Democracy of Pennsylvania the nOmi-
nation of mer who sought place more
persistently and assiduously than any
candidate now before the Democracy of
this state.. Nor is it condemnation of Il
espddete that he is a regulation y
Democrat. That is the kind we want.
Any man who falls below that high
standard is measurably below the de-
mand of the present occasion. If the
Times knows of any other cause why
this or that man should not be nomi-
mated, why don't it say who he is and
what is the objection

A PROSPECTIVE Contest.


just at the EWv when the discordant
elements Of the Philadelphia Democrats
are trying to 80 far harmonic their
differences as to send a united and un
contested delegation to the Harrisburg
convention, complication ensues in
Cumberland county which. if referred
to the Democratic state convention,
cannot fail to become the subject of
some discussion and perhaps of eml,ar.
rassment to the local Democracy of that
district at least. 1t seems that Mr..
Henry X. PETER, the veteran editor OF
the Valley Sentinel, who had been some
time ago chosen delegate to the state
convention by the old county committee,
was also a candidate at the late prlma-
ries for state senator and was defeated.
Since that he has sulked in his tent and
has refused to indicate his purpose to sup
port the local ticket in the way usual in
that section by printing the ticket at
the head of his paper. For which reason
he was requested on Saturday to inform
the new county committee whether or
not he proposed to support the local
ticket, and upon his answer that the
committe had no right to thus interro-
gate him, the organization proceeded to
"rescind" his appointment as a state del
egate and named in his stead that other
veteran editor and respected Democrat,
John B. BrattOn, who had also been a
candidate for state senator and was de-
feated.
If, upon these facts, Messrs. PETER
and Bratton shall both present them
selves at the state convention. each with
the credentials of local committee, ii
will be a serious question for the con
yention to determine which has even
the prima facie right to the seat, though
it must be manifest that Mr.. PETERS
appointment is not subject to revocation
by another power than that from
which he takes his commission. If Mr..
PETER has withdrawn from the Demo
cratic party since his original appoint
ment, his fitness to sit in Democratic
state convention may with prOpriety b'
challenged, as the convention is the sol'
judge of the qualifications of its mem
bers. But we gravely question whether
to reach the end they have in view, the
Cumberland county Democrats have
taken the proper course and if they want
to exclude Mr.. PETER from association
and fellowship with party from which
they allege that he has withdrawn, theI
had better proceed in a way that will moi
damage their case. Most of all it is i'm
portant that the issue which this cOntes,
raises shalt he decided solely upon tn
merits of the important question in
volved and not upon the personal rela
tions of the prominent Democrats wht
will be parties to it. .".''

The DcIunct Convention.

Col. Mcclure is high authority upon
questions of party practice because
of his long experience and observation
of party machinery and his opinion that
the Republican state convention, which
lately adjourned sine DE, is the proper
authority to fill the vacancy on the ticket,
and that it should have been recalled by
its chairman and the state committee
chairman, is entitled to great weight !;
but nevertheless we do not consider it
demonstrated by his argument. lie
shows that the Republican practice, so
far as it has heretofore been established
has been for the state committee to fill
vacancies in the ticket, while the Demo-
cratic practice has been to recall the con
vention.: If practice settles the disputed
point it would follow that the Repub-
lican state committee should have
filled the present vacancy. IL, how
ever, the matter is open for II
decision, based not upon precedent,
but upon reason, then clearly the new
nominee must be obtained from the del
egates of the people. If the delegates to
the late convention had not adjourned
without day, they could undoubtedly be
reassembled to complete their work at
the call of the chairman. But it would
seem that their adjournment without
making provision for again meeting, alb
solutely ended their existence and power.
At any rate it seems evident that the
chairman of the state committee would
not have power to reassemble them, nor
could he bolster in any way the authority
of the convention chairman for that pur-
pose. Mr.. McClure's declaration that
Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Lear should have
united in a call is bare decla.
ration unsupported by authority
or reason, SO far las We can see.
The chairman Of the state commit
tee would have authority to call new
convention, if the old one has ceased to
exist but what concern with or author
ity ovjr TIE old convention he had it is
difficult indeed to discover.
