If any citizen of county, who can

adopted in regard to farm machinery,
cooking utensils, etc., we should only
need one good farmer in the county,
provided he was centrally located and
good natured. What he didn't have to

gets two or three papers already, as big

WHO NOMINATES 2

An emergency has arisen in this
county which does not seem TO be pro-
vided for by the Rules of the Demo-
cratic Party. A vacancy is created in
the office of District Attorney, by the
resignation of the present incumbent,
and the question that arises now, is
whether his successor who will be
voted for at the November election
must be nominated by convention, or
by the Standing Committee.
The Rules provide that "all county
nominations for officers to be elected
by the people shall be made in and by
the county conventions, erceptas here.
an other,oise prooided."
Another rule provides that Sin case
of the death, declination, or removal OF
any candidate put in nomination by
the convention, before the election. 9
new nomination of a candidate shall
be made by the Standing committee
called together for that purpose, by O
public notice, from among citizens elig
ible under these rules"
The present case is not declinatior
of candidate put in nomination by
the convention, but it seems to be a
parallel case. The intention of the
rule was TO avoid the expense and
trouble of calling another convention
when candidate died or declined tt
run. There is no difference between
vacancy caused by the death, decli
nation, or removal of candidate be
tween the convention and the day Of
election, and vacancy caused by tht
resignation of an officer already elected
when that vacancy occurs between
those two dates. The Democratic
party has empowered the Standing
Committee to name the candidate il
one case, and it may reasonably be in
ferred that the rule was intended tt
cover all similar cases, even if no
particularly expressed in words.
1t would be difficult to secure anoth
er full convention, and for an offic,
over which there is 80 little contest ant
in which there is so little pay, il
would be hardship upon the candi
date to compel him to pay all the expen
ses of another delegate election ant
convention.
Our opinion is that this is a cas-,
where the Committee ought to act, ant
we hope that the selection of candi
date may be left to it without an,
quibble.

A Sectional Appeal.

MIR. John Sherman has opened the
Republican campaign in Ohio with a
carefully prepared speech. As the Ec-
e'aing Post, which is supporter of
President Cleveland's Administration,
advocates the defeat of Gov. Hoadly
and the Democratic party in the ap-
preaching Ohio election, and the re-
turn of Mr.. John Sherman for another
six years to the United States Senate,
the utterances of that leader on nation
al questions become of interest and
Importance.
Mr.. Sherman plunges headlong into
the mire of sectional hate. He raves
against the return to "high Office" of
those who "waged war against the
Uuion and were the cause of the loss
of half million of lives and thousands
of millions of treasure" He heaps
vituperation upon the "Solid South, in
which, he says, ''the negro is deprived
OF all his political rights by open vio-
lence or by frauds as mean as any that
have been committed by penitentiary
convicts, and as openly and boldly
done as highway robbery" He de-
clares it to be the hope of "the men
who led IN the civil war and who are
now ''the chief officers of the Govern.
ment' to "reverse all the results of the
war" And he processes to regardit as
''vital and necessary to appeal to the
Northern States to unite again against
this evil, not 80 open and arrogant as
slavery, but more dangerous and equal
ly unjust
The people of New York have re.
Gently draped their city in mourning
to mark their grief at the death of Gen.
Grant. Perhaps no action of his life
endeared him more closely to their
hearts than did the noble words his
hand traced in his last hours, when
speech had failed him, congratulating
the country on the restoration of fra
ternal feelings between the sections and
on the renewed devotion of the South
to the Union.
Ia the letter which he kept from his
family until his death, knowing that
what would be solace to them after
the final blow had fallen would cause
them pain while he still lived, the dy-
ing hero wrote "As / have stated,
am thankful for the providential exten-
sion of my time to enable me TO con-
tinue my work. l am further thank
full, and in a much greater degree
thankful, because it has enabled me to
see for myself the happy harmony
which so suddenly sprung up between
those engaged but few short years
ago in deadly conflict"
What a contrast between these no.
bic, patriotic words and the malignant
rawlings of the partisan who for politi-
cal purposes would foster suspicion,
jealousy and hatred between the citi-
z,ns of the Northern and Southern
States How can the people of New
York view this attempt of Senator
Sherman to destroy the fraternal bonds
cemented at the grave of Gen. Grant 7
How can we ever hope for restored,
peaceful and powerful Union if leg
acy OF sectional hate is TO be handed
down TO our children's children s-I
World.

The Platform.

The following is the platform adopt
ed at the State Convention last week
l. The Democracy of Pennsylvania
in convention declare their party ap.
proval and support of the principles
adopted by the Chicago Democratic
Convention, July 6, 1884. They favor
an honest and efficient civil service, a
fair and just revision of the tariff, and
thorough reform of the methods q
administration which obtained under
Republican rule, in strict accordance
with the terms of the Chicago plat
form, under which Grover Cleveland
was elected President and Thomas A.
Hendricks Vice President of the
United States.
2. We cordially approve the Demo
cratic reform administration of Presi
dent Cleveland and his Cabinet. We
recognize in their official acts reso
lutte determination to vindicate the
pledges upon which the President was
elected. To this end we affirm his
clear and indisputable right to prompt
ly remove officials who have prostitu
ted tha public service for partisan and
personal ends. The thorough reform
of abuses and searching Investigations
already made in the several depart.
ments of the Federal Government give
assurance that the present administra.
ton will secure tor the country that
thorough reorganization of the civil
service which will effect an honest,
practical md efficient administration
of the Government.
8. The administration of Governor
Pattisou by the firm and honest exc
cution of the law and the faithful and
rigid use of the veto power, in the in.
terest of reform ..and economical gov
ernment, challenges the respect and
commands the confidence of the people.
We warmly approve the action of the
Governor and his official advisers in
their efforts to maintain and enforce
the Constitution, to secure a just and
honest apportionment, to guard the
interests of the people, to secure econ
omy and honesty in the State govern
ment, and to reform long existing
abuses and deeply rooted inequalities
in the laws.
4. Every legitimate effort of labor TO
better its condition, enhance its re-
wards and protect its rights, com
mands the sympathy and support of the
Democratic party. The importation
under contract of foreign panper labor
is an evil which should be remedied by
judicial legislation.
5. We favor the enforcement of the
Constitution of Pennsylvania in its
every article and section, and especial
ly demand the regulation by law, in
accordance Herewith, of the carrying
OF the State, the equal
ization of the tax laws, the appropria-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
IFrom our Regular Correspondent
WAsHINGToN. ID. c., Sept. 2, go, 1885.

1t is reported that the President will
arrive in Washington before the tenth
of September. This is earlier than he
was expected, but it is quite probable
that he is now resigned to forego the
hardships of fishing camp for the
Injuries of the Executive Mansion, and
the ear-piercing music of the mosquito,
for that Of the Marine Band.
There will be a big cleaning out
soon after the President returns, said
an official in the Treasury Department
yesterday. The committees that are
examining things here will recomend
many dismissals There is great
deal of timber that will be cleaned out.
The notion of this Administration is
that things should be run in a simple
and economical way, and that no more
people should be employed than are
