The Democrats Of this county
held their primaries on Saturday last,
and the return Judges met in conven.
ton at the Court House yesterday
afternoon to figure up tho result. The
only candidates regularly announced
were Geo. S. Hindman of Kingsley,
and Col. John F. Gaul of jerks, for
Associate Judge. Between these the
vote stood 127 for Hindman, and 76
for Gaul, aud the former was declared
the nominee. For County Treasurer
number Of votes we're cast for Jas.
B. Haggerty of Green township, and
r. M. Herman of Tionesta. As Meth.
or of these gentlemen we're regularly
announced the convention decided
that the votes could not be considered
only as indicating the sentiment of the
voters in the different townships. The
delegates therefore proceeded to ballot
for candidate and the choice fell
upon Mr.. Haggerty. After which, in
the same manner, d. w. Clark of the
Borough was nominated for County
Surveyor, and DR.. Howard Weber of
Hickory, for Coroner. And then
came the election of Chairman of
the Committee. r. L. Haslet and j.
M. Kepler were placed in nomination
and the voting commenced. When
the polls closed it was found that
Haslet had 13 votes and Kepler 5,
upon the announcement Of which Mr..
Haslet took the chair Remarks
were then in order, whereupon Mr.. j.
B. Watson Of Msrienville, took occa.
sion to compliment the convention
upon the wise choice it had made in
the selection Of chairman, (and
there Brother Kepler sat right "fer-
nent" him, taking it all in) and he
had hope Ca forlorn one no doubt
that the results would show up better
than last year. He had been elected
Chairman when about Mr.. Hasets
age, away back in '62, when it was
almost worth mans life to be chair.

just what il was that made it so haz.
ardous for Democrats at that time he
did not fully explain. At all events
the convention seemed TO appreciate
his remarks, so much so in fact, that
he was Immediately elected as the del.
egate to the State Convention. Mr..
Kepler was also called upon for some
criticisms, and it was thought he would
proceed to jump onto friend Watson's
frame with both feet, but be seemed in
a very docile mood just then, and his
speech was one of harmony, with the
accent on the charm" He didn't
think it wise for Democrats to talk
much politics in this campaign, and
sort of admonished them to abstain
from the usual blow and bluster; 90
quietly to work, so to speak, and do a
little more coaxing aud not SO much

rather endorsed what Bro. Watson had
intiWated of the previous campaign,

ly. All in all the convention was a
very doleful one aside from the two
speeches referred to, and the funeral
will take place on November 9th next. |
