The Crane Illumination.

WHEN the delegates and visitors
returned home from Terra Alta on
Friday evening last. the fiIst thing
that met their gaze on entering town
was the brilliantly Illuminated pal
atial residence of JOHN NJ. and
SMITH CRANE. We have heard of an
illumination by Republicans when
they had gaineI victory over the
Democracy, or by the Democracy
when they had defeated the Rspub-
licans, but it remained for the
CRANES to set the example Of exalted
rejoicing over the defeat of a worthy
opponent 10 a County Convention.
The friends of Mr.. STUCK will, no
doubt. hear OF this public manifesto.
ton with peculiar satisfaction.
A lady friend on hearing of the IL
Elimination remarked that che
thought the CRANES had acted wise
ly IN having the illumination now,
for there will, in all probability, be
no occasion Tor one after the elect ION
this fall.
1t appears to as to have been IN
very bad taste 10 cay the least. It
may be though that this rejoicing
over the defeat Of STUCK is intended
to be a notice to him and his friends
that they are not needed to help
elect this happy nominee.

CRANE succeeded 10 procuring a
denomination for Clerk of the C,rcuit
Court. He has hid the Office for
thirty years, thinks no Que but him
self could operate it. He has said =,
we learn, that he had no desire for
Democratic votes. and il is more
than probable that they viii not
throw their ballots away upon hi IN
on election day. We hope not at
least. 1t is. no doubt, his desire to
have his son succeed him.

THE Radical County Convention
held at Terra Alta, on FRIDAY last
was tolsrably respectable gather

oil ability; it lacked enthusiasm, yet
1t was composed Of an intelligent look

ssssmblage.
1t put ticket before the people
for their sffrsge that ;s composed of
meE OF very ordinary ability, and
one that is not invuInerable by any

tiou shows that very little Judgment
was manifest upon the part of those
delegated to act for the PEOPLE, and

got there Ell" through jobbery and
petty scheming that was CARED on
