tain Democrats came TO town and related

W. c. PcMERoY, took the ears one
evening, and went to Philadelphia,
to attend the Penn Centennial. I'M
mediately it was circulated at home,
that he had gone to see and consult
with Senator Cameron. It was not
kind to circulate report about Mr..
Pomeroy. that was based only on the
fact that he took car. that was run
in the direction of Senator Cameron's
home Even if he had gone to see
Cameron, what wrong would there
have been in such a visit. Has it
come to this, thai one gentleman
may not go to see another. without
being subject to unfavornbio criticism.
People who talk so freely about their
neighbors, as a rule are not worth
listening too.
