The actions Of the County Com
mittee on last Saturday in deciding
to leave the selection of delegates to
the National Convention to the dele
gates at the Republican Convention,
which is to convene at Harrisburg,
instead Of calling district conventions
has overcast our political horizon with
murky clouds and mutterings Of dis
content is heard on both sides of the
river, and the discordant element
claim that this is political subterfuge
to stifle the popular voice Of the
multitude, which is decidedly for
Blaine, snd that if the committee
does not recind its action, that what
is now looked upon as the effervesce
Of some disappointed admirer Of the
plumed knight, shall, before the ides
of November has come, swell into a
mighty chorus whose sounds shall
reverberate from the pine clad hills
Of Maine to the golden slopes Of the
Pacific coast, and that upon the issue
Of whether the people or the politl
clans are tc select the National stand
ard bearers, depends the answer Of
whether the futLre Of the Republican
party is to be bright with hope or
dark with tempest. Even now the
shadows lengthen upon we political
horizon, aud the Democrat prowl
forth for mischief, anticipating q rep
clifton Of 1874 and 1882, but thlnA
that We have learned wisdom from
the lessons Of the past and will no
commit such blunders. AS far as my
Judgment is concerned, | do no
think the actions Of the County Com
mlttee is as great a blunder as i
would seem from first impressions
Whilst James G. Blaine is personally
popular, it is doubtful whether h'
would receive the full Republican
vote throughout the required numb
Of States that is needed to insre
Republican triumph. Asid lfoih

A curious story comes from Bridgeport of two cousins, a young man and young woman, to whom considerable property was left by their grandfather on condition that they married, but if either refused the property was to go to the other. The parents of the girl had married against the will of the family and were in such poverty that their daughter went out as a maid servant. Notwithstanding all this she re- fused the urgent solicitation of her cousin. who then came into possession of the property. He determined to divide the money with her, but for some time could not find her. Now, it is intimated. the marriage may come of after all. The sto- ry is very queer one which may be true, but reads good deal more like romance adapted to the summer season.
