Hooking County Repub-
iiean Platform.

We desire to briefly call atten-
ton to the Resolutions presented
by Quarter master Sergeant Sam
Bright, at the recent Republican
convention.
The first pledges allegiance to
the Republican party. The
last repudiates party SERVICE.
The one is for the solid vote for
Foraker, the other is a bid for
Democratic votes for Keynes.
The arraignment of our county
officials, charging mismanage-
ment and claiming that special
legislation last winter has sad
died on us a bonded indebted
ness of SIS, ,0GO, is the most con-
temptible demagoguery.
The special legislation of last
winter was an act authorizing the
Commissioners to issue bends in
order to pay Indebtedness, which
act was approved by Mr.. Bright,
and which Indebtedness was caus-
ed by management" in which
Mr.. Bright was the principal
manager.
The first Indebtedness of the
county began with the establish
ment Of the Orphans Home
Mr.. Bright was the irst Presi-
dent of the organization, an if
not mistaken, President yet.
The debt was caused by the
institution. Is it consistent for
Mr.. Bright to condemn and com
nit his party to the position of
condemners of an institution he
helped to establish and which he
cheerfully and proudly fathered {!
The Resolution saying that our
county officers should be chosen
because they are honest. capable
aud sober, means nothing at all,
or it means insult. Does il mean
that our previous officers have
not been so, that our candidates
are not, that they hereafter will
not be 500 1t is tolerably deep
water in which Mr.. Bright has
plunged his party. If the reso-
luton has reference to our tick
ct, he has placed his own in a
glass house that may be badly
broken.
The Democracy of this county
feel the insult a Republican con-
has thrown in their faces,
and will resent it at the election
by solid vote for every man on
the ticket.

The Republicans of Hooking

The Republicans of Hooking
are in disorganized state. The
elevation OF Brooke has had the
effect Of cooling the ardor Of
West, Vickers, Butin, Miller,
Gable. Myres. Bright & Co he
crowd that usually made he Re
publican fight, and &c amount OF
talk, not even ihe presence OF
Foraker. has seemed. to stir up
the old time enthusiasm. The
wilted sfcCiintock sleepily con
ducts the previously lively organ
and q spiritless drowsiness oh
tains OIL every hand. Keynes is
kept busy explaining his wicked
ness and weakness; Broake oc-
cupies his time cariing his mas
taciie; Rempel is secretly trying
to perfect a plan TO work over
into the Democratic party and
capture The postoiiices, and Capt.
Glove has quit politics. thus
has all he glory OF the G. o. T.
gone climInei;;ig.

Severe STERN.

YORK, Pa, Aug. 24.-A frightful storm,
verSing on cyclone, passed over a portion
OF Hellam township, this county, about six
miles from York. Rain fell in torrents ac-
companied by hail and a terrific wind
Trees were Frustrated and snapped OF like
pipe stems, buildings moved from their
foundations and crops ruined. The fields
were badly washed and roads rendered al
most impossible. Many fields of fine tobac-
co almost ready for cutting was utterly
ruined. The loss will amount to several
thousand dollars.

Lieutenant Davenport still in
sists that we have not given him
his proper title. He claims that
he was a niggar Captain, or Cap

Foraker couldn't see why there
should be any change in the post
office. Foraker should consult
Jim Little and Al Brooke. He
might have consulted Keynes
some time ago, but in the light
of subsequent development, Bob
would be compelled to retire to
his glass house and keep his
hands off of the dornicks.-
Brooke reall Y ought not go hawk
in around about people any
more than Keynes, but of course
in their private matters we have
no business to mix.

The Democrats of Hooking can
look after the Post-offices of this
vicinity, without any assistance
or suggestions from Alexander
Sands of Cincinnati. Mr.. Sands

both sides in the State, and rath-

the Democrats of Hooking will
relieve him of the labor in this

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. s2.-The Demo

nations as follows: Secretary of state,
George NJ Goran; treasurer, W. L. Har-

form adopted is one which is bound to meet
the appreciation of everyone, but would
serve as well for Republican as a Demo

The Republican Senartoial
Convention.

The Republican Senatorial
Convention met in Logan on last
Saturday, and nominated MIR.
John McNeill, Of Lancaster.
slr. McNeill is Lancaster at
torney, and gentleman highly
esteemed in his profession and
in society. He is not in politics.
and we doubt if he will ''bother
his head" about the election. He
was not present, in the conven-
ton, Sam Bright was and nomin-
ated him.
The Hall and particularly the
platform was handsomely decor
ated and marked striking con-
trast with the dreary and dull
convention of the Saturday pre-
vious. Flags and bunting fes-
tooned the stage. Pictures of IL
lustrious generals graced the
walls. Rare flowers beautified
the speakers table. Evidently
the ladies aud not AL. Brooke
managed the demonstration.
The conspicuous monogram of
Col. Rempel, "F. F. r. was
touchingly adorned with bows of
pure white. This was in testimo
ny of reconciliation with the
Temperance Union, and in token
of the white simplicity of the..old
hero's political pedigree. The
picture of Lincoln was suspend
ed just below "f. F. r." mono
gram, but no white bow adorn-
ed it.
Major Jewett of Athens, presid-
ed over the convention, and did
so with dignity. He INDUCED
in no blather. He conducted
theEbusiness in a business way.
and when through with what
was to be done, quit.
Jess Butin of ours was made
Secretary. Jess hung back
among the boys, expecting a
committee and the band to wait
on him, but was disappointed
He went on the platform, but
Maj. Jewett had the business in
hand and ran it without any help
from Jess. Ned McManigal and
Wes McClintock did not grace
the DlatfOrm.

PANAMA. Aug. 1854.
ssDEAR Mr.. ONDERDoNK-At last, at last,
we have splendid news from Ecuador!
Julio is freel Alive! Thanks to yours and
Mr. McComas' great efforts. Julio and all
of us will never be able to pay OF recompense
you on this earth, but God is great, and He
will reward you some day. We had al
ready conceived the idea that we were never
to see him again.
''Hundreds of other prisoners have to
thank you for their freedom. 1 suppose you
understand very well why the general am
nesty was granted to the prisoners. Next
week will be in Bahia with Julio. Since
the day cans here 1 have been sick.
While I am in Bahia will be of great
service to Julio helping him to get his affi-
davits Julio was not able to come here on
the account of the scanty resources he found
in Bahia and on account of nervous attack
that struck him when he saw our forsaken
and pillaged house. He never expected to
encounter such sight.
II congratulate you and Mr.. McComas,
the saviors of Julio, for your great success.
With much love I remain your devoted
pupil, ALEXANDER SANTOS"

Every time Col. Villas appoints
a fresh installment of fourth class
postmasters, says tho New York
Sun, a vail of grief or howl of in
dignation burs,s from the throats
of Republican managers. This
lo-k ks rather ridiculous to those
rank and file politicians who only
know that these minor places yield
very small salaries. often amount
ing to less than 500 or even $50 q
year. They think, too, that mas
much as these crossroad offices have
been monopolized by the Repub-
Iicans for about a quarter of a cen
tury, they might now afford to let
the Democrats have taste of them,
if only to let them enjoy ere they
die the novel sensation of thrusting
their noses into the Federal crib
Thus IS superficial view of the case,
as the experts on both sides we'll
know. The postmasters of this
class are an important element in
the working mechanism of the par
ty in power. Their number is
great, and their selection rests sole
ly with the President and postmas
ter General. They are found at
every village in the nation. Their
snuggeries in the hamlets are the
rende vous where the home caucus
es arc held and views interchanged
and newspapers distributed and
plans lard out for the campaigns In
towns and counties. These little
post Offices have a great deal of in
fuence in the politics of their
neighborhosds, in selecting delegates
to the primary conventions whence
originate those larger conventions
which nominate the most important
officers; and on election days when
pulling together, they exert
mighty power in determining re
suits Knowing the great advanta-
ges they have derived from these of
fees during the past twenty odd
years, it is no wonder the Republi-
can bosses lift up their voices in sor-
row and anger As they see them
passing into the hands of their op-
ponents. Well, last fall the Dem
ocrats won them, and now let them
60 right ahead and take possession
as fast as they can.

MT. Kelley Again.


RICHMOND. Va, Aug. 25.-Right Rev:
Bishop john j. Keane, OF the diocese Of
Richmond, recently wrote letter to A. VI
Kelley in relation to what he terms tho
| shameful persecution that gentleman is
suffering The letter is written FROM ST.
Paul, Mimi, the bishop being at present in
the far west conducting a series of spiritual
retreats for the clergy. The bishop says:
81 al.ude to the treatment inflicted on you
as an insult not only to one of the most
highly and deservedly esteemed Catholics of
the diocese of Richmond and one Of the
most honored citizens Of Virginia, but
through him to all his fellow Catholics and
fellow citizens of this country and to the
holy fathar himself. But in this insult to
you can see no humiliation save to those
who have offered it. Ii was an honor to be
unwelcome by a government whose whole
course has been marked by injustice and ir-
religion, and the government OF Austria
having by its recent act made itself the
abetsor Of the guilt and the partner in the
shame, has thereby made itself incapable of
humiliating you. While I have regretted
the attack made upon you by part of the
daily press, still that need not concern us
much, as nothing better was to be expected
from such partisan and interested sources,
''But have especially deplored criticisms
passed upon you by some Catholic scribblers
who in their zeal to appear clever and ultra
orthodox have overlooked the fact that the
cause for which you were suffering was the
refutation as well as thu condemnation and
shame of their structures. But it is a COM
fort to know that the utterances of these
wholly unauthorized critics have absolutely
no weight beyond the infinitesimal weight of
the individuals themselves I am confident
that all Catholics whose opinion you would
esteem honor you for the persecution you
have suffered for tr.1th and Justices sake.
Your position is indeed an embarrassing
one, with a family to provide for and your
business transferred to others; but surely it
cannot he that our government, whose we'll
mcnt action has placed you in this embar-
rassment, will leave you in it or fail to pro-
vide that you BE- in no way loser by it, and
even should that happen. which cannot be
lieve, still am confident that your well
known qualities Of head and heart will yet
secure to you career both Of honor and
