General Grants house at Galena.
THREE inches of snow fell on th
morning of May 23rd at Davenpor
Iowa.
HE Independents are too full fo
utterance; they have a State ticket
and State organization.
The oldest banker west of the Allie
gheny mountains, lives, and doe,
business at Cleveland Ohio. Thurman
P. Handy is his name: he has beer
In the business so years.
The paper money people have s
state ticket in the field. The Republi
cans have two State tickets in the
field. What the Changers and Tenn
perance people will do remains to be
seen.
The sheriff and two of his depu-
ties, took part in lynching a colored
man in the woods of Union county,
Indiana, to make him confess to a
theft. The negro was hanged 5 times
and let down, and did not confess.
The sheriff and his deputies have
been put under arrest.
The Franklin Repository would be
hard on Republicans that will not
support the ticket, it proproses that
the last drop of Republican blood be
drawn from their veins. A Repub
lican that read the deliverence of the
Repository would ike to know which
should be bled, so hard, the Repub-
licans of the Harrisburg convention,
or the Republicans of the Philadel-
phla Convention.
GENERAL BEAVER the christian sol
der, left a leg on Southern battle
field He is the only one of the Har-
risburg convention candidates that
suffered that loss; but two of the
candidates Of the Philadelphia Re
publican convention each are minus
a leg, namely Major Merrick and
Colonel Duff; they each lost leg on
a southern battle field. The Phila
delphia convention has a majority of
one legged christian soldiers.
IT may Just as well be told now,
as later in the season what the Dem
oorats will say about General Beaver
in the campaign. They will call him
a Bellfonte aristocrat, gruff lawyer,
a brow -beater of witnesses. A Re-
publican candidate with Cameron's
collar on A President OF the Board
of Trustees of the Centre county
Agricultural College, an Institution
that needs course Of investigation,
and any amount of other little petty
stuff not worth mentioning.
QUEER taste some people have, for
example. The centennial anniver-
sary of the massacre of ninety-si1
Moravian Christian Indians at Gnad
enhutten, Ohio, was observed with
impressive ceremonies on the 24th
inst. Senator Hollingsworth was the
orator of the day, and Governor
Foster also made brief speech.
About 10000 persons were present
Three Delaware Indians, descendants
of the murdered victims were among
the visitors, and two of them made
brief addresses.
The astronomers that went from
Europe to Africa and Asia to observe
the eclipse of the sun last week, an
nounce positively that during the
eclipse they were enabled to clearly
make out an atmosphere on the moon
The theory all along has been that
no atmosphere exists around the
moon and therefore animal life, such
as is known to man on this globe
cannot exist on the moon; but now
that the fact has been established
that an atmosphere does exist on the
moon, the conclusion is that animal
life also exists there. Modren inven-
ton will produce glass Of sufficient
power some ofthese days to see the
people and their Improvements on the
ace of the moon
Ii is true that General Beaver has
many friends for the Governorship,
but it is equally true that there are
many true blue Republicans opp osed
to him for the Office, not because of
the General himself but because of
men that are foremost in the effort
for Beaver, men who are entirely un-
worthy of trust, men who represent
nothing, orif they represent anything
they represent the worst methods and
sentiments of society, and politics.
1t is because the riscious element of
the Republican party have been lifted
into prominent place that there are
two tickets in the field. The Re
publican party cannot elect two gov
ernors at one time. The ticket that
is opposed to the Beaver ticket is
made up Of respectable men, and the
slime of blackguards only builds them
up stronger in the minds of the peo-
pie. 1t will require wise action to
get out of trouble that has been
brought upon the party by anti-Re-
publican methods, methods that are
employed by unworthy men.
